Why People Love It

Quick Take: A high-end 'tzimmer' (guest suite) that actually delivers on the luxury promise, provided you aren't expecting a full-service hotel lobby.
Reviewed by @SuzieLevinson: I was blown away by how private this villa felt. Spending the day floating in my own pool and the evening soaking in that wooden tub was exactly the reset I needed. It’s rare to find a place that looks even better in person than online. 10/10 for romance.
