My stay at Villa Simonne was quite the journey. The rooms I initially received left much to be desired, but after some fuss, I was moved to a much nicer room. The staff seemed genuinely eager to help, though the reception team could use some improvement. The location provides a quiet retreat, but it feels a little remote. Dining had its highs and lows; some dishes impressed while others fell flat. Overall, it's a mixed bag that has great potential but needs some improvement.

Villa Simonne has a stunning vintage charm that many will adore, with enormous, comfortable rooms and a lovely garden featuring turtles and dogs. The staff is incredibly welcoming and eager to help. However, the dining experience could use improvement, and some facilities like the pool weren't up to par. Overall, it's a unique stay for those who appreciate the old-world style.

My stay at this boutique hotel was absolutely memorable, with its unique decor and a cozy vibe reminiscent of grand old-world charm. The individually decorated rooms were a treat, and I loved chilling by the beautiful pool area. The only downside was some daytime noise from ongoing upgrades. Overall, it’s a charming retreat that feels personal and welcoming.

My stay was absolutely delightful! The rooms' eclectic décor made it a unique experience, and I truly enjoyed the vibrant ambiance of the bar. The staff went above and beyond to make our visit special. However, the Wi-Fi could be better, and if you're not a fan of vintage colonial style, this place might not be for you. Overall, it's a fantastic choice for anyone looking for charm and character in a stay.
