Rooms very large and spacious, King size bed, large bathroom, outside seating overlooking the extensive grounds and big River Red Gums, well set up swimming pool area. This place was as good as any place I've ever stayed at. Price also was very reasonable. Location in South Australia's McLaren Vale region is exquisite.

We stayed two nights. Room was ready early, clean and had everything we needed. Reception staff friendly and welcoming. Tastings offered with exceptional service and informative narrative by Riccardo. Very good cappuccinos made by delightful barista in reception area near restaurant. Beautiful gardens. Restaurant not tried on this occasion. We had prebooked two others within five minutes from Serafino, can recommend Pizzatecca, Oscars and a stay at Serafino. Would definitely stay again.
