Summary: Charming and comfortable, lots of living space on beautiful grounds in picturesque small village. Collected objects of international art and crafts added to the enjoyment. Quiet and private with good internet connection and great suggestions for local food and necessities. Interesting and gracious host Jay was a trove of stories and information- but never intrusive.
