Summary: We don’t have words for this gem, an absolutely perfect place to calm down, to relax, to recharge your batteries, in the middle of unspoilt nature and at the same time not far from many places of interest. We felt at home from the very beginning and you feel that the apartment was designed for personal use as it is very individual and full of interesting books. Thank you Christine and Yves for hosting us, we would really love to come back one day!The only criticism refers to the agency of fewo- direct which should update the information about the mentioned additional offers (for example French lessons) which is no longer applicable.
