The Swallows Nest is in a beautiful location. The history of this area is amazing. Martin and Phyllis have made that history available to learn about with some great books and photo albums. The local villages are easy to get to. The apartment itself is very clean with comfortable beds. Our biggest disappointment was how much of the noise from downstairs could be heard. While there is a private entrance, it still felt opened to the downstairs area. A small dinette would add a nice touch to the open living area and make it easier to eat (or play cards). We were given early entry with no problem. Martin met us and was very pleasant.
