La Foresteria Planeta Estate

Rooms

The 14 rooms with sea or countryside views are each named after an aromatic herb, grown in the lush estate gardens. The unique décor is warm and mediterranean in style with colorful rugs and blankets. Each room has its own outdoor terrace and all the usual modern amenities.
