I recently enjoyed a lovely week at Monte Santo, where the calm atmosphere really stood out, making it a perfect family retreat. The spacious townhouses with private pools were a great choice, offering peace away from the main pool area. The breakfast spread was excellent, but I found the dinner at the restaurant didn't match the quality I expected for the price. Overall, it's a wonderful spot close to town with a lot of potential for a luxurious stay.
