Our stay was lovely. The whole apartment is excellently kept and homely. The heating is very efficient (we were concerned it'd be cold, we were wrong). Every room was spotlessly clean, the location is beautiful with trails to walk around and gardens to explore, the owners were very friendly and happy to help in any way. We didn't want to leave. ##### Joseph F. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2019 ---
