We had a great 7-night stay in mid-September at The Giri Residence in the Bougainville suite.
Highlights:
Terrace & Views: Exceptional rooftop terrace with private decking, ample seating, and great views over Sant Joan and the countryside.
Location & Vibe: Ideal central village location near local spots and taxis. Beautiful interior design, peaceful gardens, and relaxing incense give it a homely feel.
Staff: Barbara, Lucia, and Omar were exceptionally responsive while giving us full privacy.
Breakfast & Extras: Fresh, high-quality local breakfast plus a handy self-service honesty bar. Great local products available to buy.
Suggestions for Improvement:
In-Room Amenities: Fridge space was tight for personal items, and charging €5/bottle for water felt misaligned for the top suite. Bath salts for the freestanding tub would be a lovely touch.
Breakfast Variety: Well produced and fresh. The menu did feel repetitive over 7 days.
Upkeep & Maintenance: Minor fixes needed for loose decking, stairwell light bulbs, swimwear drying options, and confusing TV settings.
Spa Clarification: The online site lists a non-existent sauna (facility currently includes a jacuzzi, cold plunge, and massage room). Expanding amenities would elevate the wellness experience.
Overall, a lovely stay and somewhere we would gladly return to!
