THE HOTEL
Casa Lapostolle at Clos Apalta offers extraordinary views over 650 hectares of nature, from plains and vineyards to the wild, forested Apalta hillsides and the surrounding mountains.
The Casa has four private and sumptuously appointed casitas, located in the grounds, and nestled into the native forested hillside of the valley. All create a real sense of serenity and privacy, whilst their terraces are ideal settings for quiet contemplation or intimate meals.
The casitas are named Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Merlot and Carmenére in deference to the grape varieties planted in the Apalta vineyard. Inside wooden ceilings soar above polished wooden floors counterpointed by white walls. Beautiful furniture and furnishings complete the look, which is very much 'upscale apartment'.
We very much appreciated the champagne to celebrate A&K's anniversary. Our guide Omar & driver Basil were both absolutely excellent throughout. Many thanks for making our trip to Jordan so enjoyable and for all the hard work that ensured our holiday ran so smoothly!
