Alle nodige faciliteiten en comfort. Prachtige inrichting en ecologische sfeer. Geen aanmerkingen. Alles was zoals we gehoopt hadden en beter. We hebben een klein beetje moeite gehad met de wandeling berg-op dus voor sommigen is een taxi misschien nodig.

• Elizabeth (7/5): Peaceful - Paulina was very kind and welcoming. Lovely to have breakfast in her home. The villa was quite dated and seating not all that comfortable.The entrance was down a very steep drive with no hand rail which would have been impossible for elderly guests or those with mobility issues.
• Sheila (7/5): -
• Emma (10/5): A great place to stay - Paulina was very welcoming and provided good information about Nelson. The breakfast was wonderful! Lots of variety and a home cooked omelette. Her house is gorgeous and we had a little balcony overlooking the garden. I can highly recommend Joya Gardens. Great walking tracks on the doorstep. I can't think of anything.

• Hanna (8/5): - Ein tolles großes Apartment mit gemütlichem Bett. Schöne Terrasse mit Blick in den Garten und ins Grüne.
