The mountain villa as beautiful! Very serene and the first floor is great for kids so you have access to open grass off the patio. Check in is TERRIBLE!! And I don't mean like takes a little while. It took an hour and the front desk said it's always like this. It is a major deterrent to stay here, especially with small kids going stir crazy. The staff themselves were very kind, but this is unexceptible for check in to a hotel.
