The moment we entered the retreat, we felt that time has turned back. Brass pipes and basins, wood floor and wall. We enjoyed uncovering little pieces of instructions that Michael placed around the retreat. I m trying not to describe the retreat too much as I do not want to spoil the surprise for you. The toilet and kitchen area is rather small, but it was manageable for us. Michael was kind to return to the retreat from work as we were having some problem with the lock. Thanks, M!
