La belle surprise.

Magnifique découverte. Tout est réuni pour offrir un séjour très agréable: l'accueil, le calme, la décoration, les petites attentions comme ce coup de chauffage à la nuit tombante pour éviter l'humidité de la campagne, le petit déjeuner... même la voiture a son parking privé. A ne pas manquer quand on passe dans la région.
