My fiance and I stayed at the guesthouse and Salo and Graham were the perfect hosts . They picked us up from the airport and from the beginning they were absolutely amazing. The place is stunning and everything is to perfection. I will definitely be going there again as they made us feel so welcome and took care of our every need.
