My husband and I sought solitude in a beautiful setting. We got to Birgit's beautiful, warm home. It's stylish and strong. But it also has many touches that make one feel welcome and come alive. Ireland has legendary "healing wells" and Birgit's house is one of them. She also had excellent suggestions on where to visit and what to do. We were at a local beach and the lifeguard was even a fan of Birgit's "She's awesome!" said the lifeguard. My husband and I agree. We love this place and its wonderful hostess!
