Beautiful and enchanting! Wonderful experience all around! Highly recommend- you have to find a way to stay here. If we knew it was so nice, we would have stayed 2 nights but we already had paid reservations in another town for the next day. Breakfast included also.

8/10 Very good

Had a great stay, would stay again.

Rooms were lovely, breakfast was great, maybe dining option of a night would have been more convenient then going out for a meal, tv could be updated more channels maybe a smart tv with streaming services that could be accessible and wifi connection

It was uniquely set against the mountains and water views were amazing. The provincial decor was very well done a picturesque honeymoon destination with a Tuscany feel. Absolutely recommend and will be back.

10/10 Exceptional

This property is beautiful!! The French Chateau feel was luxurious. Beautiful surroundings with water view. The host could not have been more helpful. It was a wonderful stay!

10/10 Exceptional

Absolutely stunning property. The rooms very amazing and so were the facilities. A glass of wine by the open fire was never too much trouble for the staff here. Breakfast was yummy each day we were there.

2/10 Poor

Horriblw
Look elsewhere. This place is such a disappointment and at best, three star accomodation. Please take the time to look at other recommendations. I wish we did. It is hard to know where to begin. It was obviously once a great place that is now run on a shoestring budget. Only 1-2 people running the whole place. The buildings are poorly maintained and dilapidated. It feels as if the place has been left to rot and is in dire need of some investment. The rooms and bathrooms are dated and barely functional. For example, TVs are from 20 years ago and only have analogue channels. Water pressure is a trickle out of the shower. Rooms are barely stocked and feel dirty and used. Hardly what you expect from five star hotel. The grounds are poorly maintained and riddled with thistles and weeds. It almost feels dystopian walking around. It is such a shame. I travel a lot and stay at a lot of hotels and this place would have to be the worst. I wish I took some photos

We only stayed for one night but we had a wonderful stay and can’t fault our experience. The facilities were beautiful and the food was delicious. We liked the little extra touches of the fire place and library. View from our balcony was amazing. I can definitely recommend staying and eating here.
Sharon, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Our room and bed were great, the staff and service was also fantastic. We had spent the day driving and were able to relax and have a nice hot shower. Only issue we had was the toilet water flow kept running a couple of times and was a little difficult to stop - we notified reception. The breakfast was delicious!
Justin, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Property looks like it was once very nice. Now pretty tired with very little atmosphere. After being disappointed by the very basic breakfast we decided not to dine here for dinner. Staff were friendly but it felt disorganized, restaurant was cold and room off restaurant is a store room. Nothing high end about this place
Fiona, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This place is very close to the seaside, and the decoration is luxurious and grand. The most commendable thing is that the staff's service was very attentive and thoughtful, and the breakfast was also very good. It is recommended to replace the faucet of the bathroom basin and add curtains for the toilet.

8/10 Very good

Everything was extremely amazing, only downside was the bed was too hard to get a good nights rest on and the shower kept changing temperature when (I assume) another guest used their bathroom.

8/10 Very good

I find this hotel has the atmosphere of a Villa in Tacany superb Surroundings. Rooms were Warm how we a bit of chill coming through the French doors near balcony. Beds were very comfortable and the fireplace was just so appealing for a chilled time. Just disappointed with not knowing the pool was out of order before arrival however our experience was just lovely. We will come back each year to enjoy our down time here.

4/10 Fair

Elegant villa - running on a shoe string
Lovely villa in it's day.However, no management present , one person left to manage front desk and the few guests, cold breakfast cooked by a novice with 8 baked beans.No lifts for the 3 flights of stairs, no aircon, no fire safety drill or alarm as you are left alone overnight. Falsely advertised as luxury , I've been to better B&B. Shame it's not better managed and looked after as the building is beautiful. This is a 3 star bed and breakfast at best ,

We cannot recommend this place enough! We absolutely loved our recent stay at Villa Howden! The staff were all lovely, friendly and welcoming. The staff even went out of their way to accomodate us in providing an additional room and breakfast free of charge due to a booking error. The facilities and vicinity were very clean and tidy and the building was a beautiful place to rest just outside of the city centre. We absolutely loved our stay and cannot wait to return! Thank you very much to all the staff who made our stay exceptionally memorable! Could not recommend this place enough for those looking for a nice place to relax and recharge from a busy holiday in a beautiful Tuscan/French estate.

Delightful stay
If I was on my honeymoon I would want to stay there. How can things be improved? You could upgrade your WiFi. We found it slow and so inadequate we couldn't use it. We were in room 5 and there was a faulty electrical wire or connection on the left side of the bed(when looking at it). Also the phone was faulty.

Happy 😊
The only thing i found disheartening was if women were to get makeup on their towels there would be a $50 fee. They had makeup remover wipes but they didnt get rid of the makup. Lucky i had my own.
Simone, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Villa Howden is a beautiful place that in a idyllic location on the water. The rooms and decor are lovely, albeit needing a little maintenance in paint and cracks on walls. The biggest let down was the service and restaurant. I don’t expect to be waited on but, staff just weren’t around. The breakfast was appalling….. TipTop bread for toast, packaged condiments, in a place like Tasmania that prides itself on local produce . Had to ask , once I actually found someone to top up the coffee pot . The “locally sourced oysters” were second rate. Such a shame as the villa is beautiful but sadly the service and food does not do it justice. A disappointing start to a 60th Birthday surprise holiday.
