Perfect

We loved Renata’s place. It was so spacious, clean and had everything we needed. We loved that each bedroom had its own tv, and also the outdoor dining space. It’s a short walk to the lake where you can get a stunning view.

Excellent serenity

Very comfortable. Large bedrooms, comfortable beds and a great living and kitchen make this the perfect and quiet place to investigate the area from. Stunning windows make you feel as though you're IN the farm. Just beautiful.

Amazing place

We loved our short stay at the chalet - a very comfortable place in a beautiful part of the world. Helen is a fantastic host. We loved the animals and the walks, and the extras Helen provided (fresh bread, date loaf, milk, juice, etc) were very thoughtful.
