This is the best getaway I have ever been on. I am obsessed with Minara. Not only is the place beautiful, they are intentional about their guest experience.

Very nice and relaxing . Amazing decor and little touches. Some salt, pepper and oil would be great though (knowing it’s a self catering) . Besides that, amazing!
