Esquisse Design Hotel

Stylish hotel with nice indoor and outdoor pools. Snooker room and library were a pleasant distraction. Within easy reach of several wineries.

A bit isolated so not ideal without a car.

Nice staff

Nothing

Great swimming pools where you can easily spend the whole day. Good sauna and hammam (though a bit small and sometimes crowded). Delicious breakfast, very friendly staff, and high-quality, regular room cleaning. There is also a quiet library with a classic book smell—a perfect spot to work.

A hotel of this standard needs a designated outdoor smoking zone instead of allowing guests to smoke anywhere. People can smoke right next to your sunbed or table, leaving non-smokers nowhere to hide by the outdoor pool. The fridge in our room was broken. When we reported it, we were told it was just a storage cabinet and that in-room fridges aren't provided at all. They offered to store our food in the restaurant instead, which is very inconvenient and not what I expect. The location is a 25-minute walk from town, with the nearest store 15 minutes away. Taxis are not easy to get, so without a car or a willingness to walk, your stay might be less comfortable.

The interior of the hotel was pretty nice, also the pool area was very clean and put together.

The smell in the bathroom was so terrible. It was impossible to stay in the room. Everything was so old, we asked for the iron and did not get any help. Also, we decided to leave the hotel early because of the smell, it was difficult to sleep. When we checked in , there was hair on the bed sheets.
