“The location exudes peace, further enhanced by the garden views; it's a comfortable retreat where the hosts clearly prioritize guest well-being. Breakfast is a highlight, prepared with quality ingredients and served hot; the winding roads leading there are a minor trade-off. I think it's a worthwhile destination for those seeking a relaxing countryside escape.”
