We had our surprise wedding proposal here in June 2021. We were able to have our party of friends stay on the premises and my fiancee (now wife) was pleasantly surprised. I was able to propose to her on the rooftop with the most beautiful sunset in the background with the hills as a stunning backdrop. Being able to have such an experience with our closest friends lodged on-site was one of the best memories ever for everyone that was there and everyone talks about how legendary this was. Our hosts were amazing, responsive providing all the information about how to get the best out of our stay and more. Super super recommend Sany on the Hill for an unforgettable romantic experience!
