Thank you Frederique and Philippe for the fantastic room with a view! We enjoyed our stay, the walks on the large estate and the swimmingpool. Vera and Karel
I have absolutely nothing to say negative about this place. However I could say so many things about the positives. The man and women who operated the facility were saints. Nicest humans I've interacted with in a while. We had such a great stay, and only wanted to stay longer. 11/10 would recommend.
