"A beautiful old farmhouse with lovely outside space and stunning swimming pool. Breakfast was simple but plentiful, taken in a very attractive dining room. The only issue we experienced was our room was very warm from the exceptionally hot weather. The owners did their maximum providing an electric fan and even exchged the fan for a other one. But neither could cool the bedroom. A quiet peaceful setting with really pleasant attentive owners."
