Sinca Veche hotels from HK$477

"The room was withbno natural light. The window was covered with some publicity. I woke up 3 hours late in the morning as I use natural light to wake up. I could not take a notmal shower in 4 days as it was defective. Water was coming out from the wall instead from the shower. I think they gave me the worst room they have as I stayed there 3 times already and it was wonderful. The wc sitting place was loose and it was a challenge to use it... I hope they fix it before mtly next trip."

"Our flight was delayed, our car booking delayed and Google got us lost up a mountain but the host persevered finding us at 1am to guide us to the villa. Adrian is a superhost for sure. He gave information, answered calls immediately, whatever I asked he provided. He even washed and polished my car as mountain dusty at bear sanctuary. The home was immaculate, with views to die for, bedding towels and hair dryer provided. Internet/WiFi, road a dirt track but what a ride seeing mountains, running hills and valleys - the local cows with bells, horse and carriages, dogs, cats, birds that roam freely, it was a delight. When meeting him from airport don't venture off the main road if Google tells you to. I ended up a mountain pitch black and got stuck having to come back down backwards. Not fun! Adrian meets you in a carpark near a memorial and childrens park, so no need to worry. You can guarantee he'll be there. Thanks Adrian I couldn't of asked for more. "

"Property was exactly as described, a great modern, beautiful villa with small but lovely details thought about. Absolutely stunning and there were fresh cookies on our table when we arrived. Restaurant attached is pricey but fantastic. I have rated this 5 stars and it deserves it but a couple of things which would improve: Breakfast is lovely and included and it’s served in your room however there is no menu so you just have to make it up and proactively remember to give your order to someone the night before There is an orange juicer in the villa and oranges (on the first day) however no cutlery to cut them. A lovely idea though There are teas and coffees however no milk, sugar or spoons There is no air con The hot tub wasn’t turned on and we had to ask twice for it to be and then had to wait for it to warm up. It would have been nice for this to be turned on for when we arrived. Boone made up our rooms, bought fresh towels or cleared away all the breakfast food and plates which wasn’t pleasant although if we would’ve asked I’m sure they would have. Like I say pointing these out for improvement but would 100% recommendation this beautiful accommodation. "

"Wonderful setting and staff"

"To caveat this review: we visited during a week day in the off-season so this will likely be an uncommon experience for guests considering this property. When we arrived, we had a bit of a hard time checking in. Instructions weren’t clear that the “room key” code is used to access the main gate, the lobby, and the room itself. It took us awhile to figure it out and get our car in. When we got in, the entire place was dark with all lights off and all doors locked. We finally called the manager for assistance as no other workers were onsite. Thankfully, he was responsive and helped us get into the space. We then had to figure out all the light switches ourselves, despite being told later that the owner is able to control them remotely… The property itself is beautiful & we ended up having the whole place to ourselves which was a nice perk. However, we were not aware that we needed to give the property advance notice if we wanted to use the spa/sauna facilities. It is not specified in the property listing. We were also not told that the restaurant is closed for dinner in the off-season so we had to drive to a couple places to find an open venue for dinner. Because there was no one onsite, we couldn’t enjoy a welcoming environment or some of the listed amenities like the fire place. The one positive was breakfast in the morning was very good. Overall, I would recommend staying here in the on-season if possible for the best experience. "
