"We loved the villa’s prime location on the ridge of Greenery Farm—perfect for sunrise, sunset, and stargazing. The three-sided glass walls meant we could soak in those spectacular views without even stepping outside. It was a quiet and wonderfully happy stay, though sadly only for one night. We missed our chance to see the galaxy—next time, we'll definitely stay longer."
