Accolades
Recognised in the Conde Nast Readers Choice Awards for four consecutive years; awarded Best Hotel in its inaugural year, 2022.
Best time: February is ideal due to warm weather and fewer crowds. March also offers pleasant conditions with a more relaxed atmosphere.
Demand: Seasonal demand peaks during summer months, particularly January and February. Luxury travellers seek vibrant festivals and outdoor experiences.
Pricing: Pricing tends to be at its highest during peak summer months. Rates decrease significantly during shoulder season, particularly May and October.
Insider tip: Consider booking exclusive experiences such as private vineyard tours or gourmet dining events in advance. Engaging a local concierge provides access to unique off-the-beaten-path activities.
Avoid: Avoid visiting during winter months June to August due to colder temperatures and reduced activity options.
