The house is idyllically situated, surrounded by nature. The rooms are charming and lovingly furnished. Turkeys roam the garden, and hummingbirds flit about. We received an incredibly warm welcome. It's clean, spacious, and cozy. There's a washing machine, dryer, pool table, TV corner, etc. The refrigerator is always well-stocked. Food and drinks are available free of charge. A superb breakfast was prepared for us each morning. It couldn't be better! We would love to come back!

A super friendly host, clean, cozy, classically furnished accommodation where you can truly relax in beautiful natural surroundings, amidst forest and mountains, complete with visits from hummingbirds and free-range turkeys. A wonderful, family atmosphere, just like being at home; guests are welcome to help themselves to the refrigerator at any time. Delicious, healthy, and varied breakfast prepared by a lovely cook, always with fresh fruit, omelets, and quiches. The perfect way to start the day! We'd love to come back again :-)
