"The house is just beautiful and Tania is such a wonderful host. Best sleep in years. This is the kind of place that reminds you of weekends away at some relatives huge house in the middle of nowhere (yet close to the city) where all you do is relax, read books and play board games. Lunches on the veranda were just stunning and drinking coffee in front of the fireplace on the chilly mornings even more so. Thank you Tania, the stay was amazing!"
