Great stay
We had a fantastic stay at Residence Vive La Vie. We were warmly greeted upon our early arrival and were very happy that they were able to have our room ready (after a very long flight). Our cottage was spacious and well appointed, and the bed was very comfortable. Location is about a 15 minute walk to the center of town, very convenient. The breakfast was phenomenal, fresh cut fruit and made to order dishes prepared by some talented chefs every day. Highly recommend!

We had spent the day on the wine tram, which was lovely.
The room was exceptional - it was so comfortable and generously sized. The breakfast was delicious and service great. Would definitely return if we go back to the area.
