"My husband and 8 month old stayed here for several nights during our wedding wedding. It was everything we could have asked for and more. The VIEW is spectacular, I mean really incredible. You feel like you're whisked away to an Italian countryside. The unit itself is very private and has all the amenities you'd need.

The 3 Dux
4.0 star property
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (4)
"I highly recommend The 3 Dux! In the Papa suite, we spent each morning enjoying our gourmet coffee provided by the host (with a wide selection of creamers) on the balcony, watching the sun rise against the mountains. At night we loved the fire and being so close to restaurants and wine tasting.

The bedding was very...

The one drawback to this place (which was no surprise to us given that it was mentioned in the listing) was that you can hear every footstep from the unit above. If you have a light sleeper I would recommend going elsewhere. Otherwise, would stay here again in a heartbeat!"
