Giardino Botanico The Summit Gardens: Tour e Visite Guidate

The staff were absolutely amazing. Friendly, helpful, and exceptionally personable. I honestly couldn't speak more highly of them.The resort itself was stunning. The location was fantastic, with an easy walk across to the other side of the island where you'll find the most beautiful beach. We stayed in a hilltop villa, and the views from our room were breathtaking. It was the perfect place to disconnect, unwind, and escape from everyday life.The only reason for my slightly lower rating was the food. While it was delicious and well prepared, it wasn't quite what I had hoped for. I was looking forward to enjoying more traditional local cuisine, with an abundance of fresh fruit, vegetables, fish, and seafood. Instead, the menu felt quite Westernised. I'm sure there are reasons for this, but for me, one of the highlights I was anticipating was experiencing more of the local, fresh produce and flavours.

The 3-bedroom villa is spacious, easy to navigate, and well-equipped with laundry facilities and great kitchen amenities. Downstairs, two bedrooms open onto a beautiful semi-enclosed patio. Opening the glass slats lets in a wonderfully refreshing sea breeze. The bathrooms are comfortable and spacious, with excellent hot water. The downstairs shower features a semi-open-air design—while completely private and enclosed, it is open to the air above. If you prefer a traditional setup, you can easily use the fully enclosed upstairs bathroom instead. Katia was a fantastic host—approachable, friendly, and an excellent communicator. Location-wise, a convenience store is just a 30-second walk away, making it effortless to grab basic groceries and satisfy late-night cravings. While parking is available directly in front of the property, we chose to take the local buses to avoid parking hassles at popular tourist spots, which worked out seamlessly. Highly recommended due to the perfect better than expected beach access and ocean views.
