    “We all 12 of us found the house fabulous !”

    It was very spacious, beautifully furnished and homely. So many interesting artefacts, pictures, books etc on display. As for the kitchen it was equipped with the very best aids one could need, of high quality… very impressive…. We only wish we could move it to the next location we will visit!!
