Carpe Diem Guesthouse & Spa

The snacks, the people, the wine

Everyone who works there is absolutely a joy to interact with and you can tell they truly care about your vacation and want you to have a good time. The rooms and spa are beautiful as well as the whole home. I was extra surprised how they always leave food out for the guests. And the wine and cheese parties are a lot of fun, in addition to the breakfast that's cooked by a chef. Will definitely be back.

Only thing I felt was missing was very minor. While the room's bathroom was always cleaned every day and they provided shampoo, body soap and even small bottles of scope, there wasn't any body lotion (which I didn't bring because I flew). But you can easily buy some there.

Great location and welcome upon arrival. Lovely cheese and wine reception each evening. Quaint and comfortable plus the grounds were nice relaxing and cool away from the heat of commercial street. Rooms were modern and tasteful

Buzz from the fridge in the room. Had to turn it off.

I felt like the guest of a rich family. The rooms were carefully and individually designed with an eye for detail. We were welcomed to move around the whole house, have coffee or a glass of port/sherry whenever we wanted, we immensely enjoyed the aperitif and snacks before dinner, the spa was small but a place of peace and quiet with no kids and such. And the managers/owners/staff really cared and took the time to fulfill our wishes. Everything was easy here.
