This place is really fantastic! The house is a beauty, full of beautiful art, and a splendid back garden (Annette takes care of it even when she is busy! Beautiful). The atmosphere is calm, friendly and with a total trait of indipendance. I spent four great days with Annette ( i did not meet Mark unfortunately but it will be for next time); she is a very interesting woman, kind and intense. The two little cats are just lovely, my flat mate has been a Polish young scholar with whom i've spent two beautiful days sightseeing. The area is safe, very friendly and easy to reach, that is, very central ( good restaurants, and shops - that actually have made my stay really nice!). I hope that the next guests understand the taste and care with which Mark and Annette prove their hospitality and cosmopolitan attitude. Thank you both Silvana
