Antoinette's home is very nice, clean, and sunny. Antoinette is friendly and warm and took great care to show us around upon our arrival. She had a bottle of wine, bread, and fruit waiting for us. She also had many books and brochures on things to see and do in the area. The house is big. We stayed in January, so we needed heat. It took nearly 24 hours for the house to warm up before I figured out the oil heater was set on minimum. It would have been nice to have the house warm upon our arrival. The house has radiators, so it can be trickier to regulate temperatures compared to thermostats that that can be set on timers. But this is a common way of heating here. Kindling was provided, and we bought a pack of wood at the Supervalue for fires. We had a hard time keeping the fire going, however. Heat and electricity are charged for, at much higher rates than I pay in the US. We paid €52 for heat & electricity for 3 nights. There are 2 grocery stores very close by, and another about 5-6 min away by foot. Shops, restaurants, pubs all nearby 5-6 min on foot, but many are closed for the winter. A good experience for us.
