Outstanding!
When we return to Victoria, Dianne's place is where we will go! We will absolutely, positively, enthusiastically be telling our friends, family, neighbors and anyone else that they should do the same.
Why, you ask? First, we felt a great vibe even before we arrived because there was excellent communication with Muriel, our co-host. She was personable, funny and helpful in all her messages which set the tone for our lovely greeting. When we got there, she met us with a bright, warm smile and showed us around. Muriel had just added special touches - the pitcher of cucumber infused refreshing cold water which we drank immediately and fresh cut flowers from the garden.
Next, Dianne has created an idyllic garden suite. It's better than the pictures. The king bed is very comfortable and perfectly suited my 6'3" boyfriend. The entire layout is very well done (main room, kitchen, separate bath and shower) with an attention to high quality furnishings and amenities including plush robes. Skylights provide natural light which created a serene ambience. There is a spacious, pretty private patio off the main room too. We wished we had more time to relax there.
Also, Dianne designed a beautiful garden adjacent to the suite. We gathered there the next morning and shared good conversation, laughter, and travel tales with Dianne, Muriel and other B&B guests. We were delighted to have this chance to connect personally with our hosts. The restaurant (Il Terrazo) and coffee (Serious Coffee) recommendations were excellent.
Next time, we'll stay longer. Thank you for everything!
Best wishes, Judy & Doc
