Jen provided a great breakfast: coffee, tea, yogurt, fruit. Great selection of breads and pastries and condiments. The dining room was inviting and guests had a chance for relaxed conversation. There was also a well stocked and clean communal kitchen, in addition to an outdoor bbq/dining area, where we could prepare dinner. The rooms are beautiful with an excellent view to the gardens and mountains. This is indeed an oasis after a day of touring. Jen is a very knowledgeable and interesting host - very helpful and thoughtful (only nightlight in all of our stays!) and her two boys are just great!

It feels like you’re guest in your aunts house. I felt so welcomed and at home. The kitchen is really well equipped with even a lot of free spices, coffee and tea. Beautiful view and great atmosphere to get talking with others

Room was spacious, clean and comfy! The rooms all seem to be recently renovated and are quite modern. The owner kept in touch during the stay and kept us informed about some work being done during our stay. Location wasn't central but still really handy! We also loved being able to see the mountains from our room.
