A gorgeous place to stay. We loved our time at Aquila and felt so relaxed and refreshed being there. The room was clean and cosy, especially with the fire on. The amenities were fantastic and the bottle of bubbly readily enjoyed! We both found the bed to be comfortable and had a real quality night's sleep. Couldn't fault it, thank you for having us!

The consideration given to customer comfort was amazing, they thought of everything. The quality of the breakfast and food was first rate.
To be honest, I felt with the price we paid for a night, that wasn't even a public holiday was too high. The room smelt musty, the traffic on the road was noisy and there was only one small screen on the front door to get any fresh air. We also couldn't get any T.V channel reception and had to watch the show we wanted on our phone.
Being honest, I wouldn't return for that price. I am usually someone who tries to leave a good review but I felt that future customers need to be fully informed.

The Luna suite at Aquila Nova was the perfect base to celebrate our wedding anniversary and my wife's birthday.
Arina greeted us just as we arrived and took us to the suite, and was an excellent host, making our stay extremely memorable.
This is a great property, with a very large, lush garden with multiple levels, and the stay was very tranquil as a result.
From the large room to the spa to the comfy bed to all the various amenities, including the fresh bread and juice and wine provided, made it the perfect stay.
We'll definitely be back again, and highly recommend a stay at Aquila Nova, you won't regret it!
Thanks so much Arina and Alex for the amazing getaway!
