Beautiful place and top Service
The Casta Diva is a wonderful boutique hotel.
The rooms are very clean, with loads of space and well decorated.
The place is perfect for a romantic stay as well as for family.
The gardens are beautifully maintained. It's a pleasure and so relaxing to walk around the property.
There is also a nice pool to refresh yourself.
The staff are really nice. Very attentive and helpful. Service is very hot in their priorities.
The food in their restaurant is also excellent.
