Truly does feel like a retreat or refuge, tucked away in a small village, but within driving distance of well-known places. Hosts are nearby, eager to assist with anything needed, extremely friendly and happy to share knowledge of the area. The fresh herb garden is a special amenity. The original core of an early traditional home (later expanded) has been converted to very comfortable, modern accommodations. The ambience is indeed tranquil, with a sense of timelessness.
