My host waited for me when I had to arrive later than expected. She pointed out things for my special convenience (e.g. a toaster), encouraged me to enjoy books and magazines available, asked me on my arrival and in the following days to let me know if there was anything I needed, and if she were expecting to be out, arranged for someone else to be there for my questions.

The house and garden are beautiful. -- And the landscaping and furnishings are much more than tasteful, though they are that -- imaginative, varied, combined in sophisticated ways. It's aesthetically pleasing to be there. For example, there is a little fountain in the garden, that can be heard when the dressing room windows are open. There's intriguing Italian tile in the bathroom and in the shaded seating area outside the room.

The bed is comfortable; the desk offers a roomy work area and comfortable chair; the dressing room is handsome and adds a feeling of spaciousness. There's plenty of space to put away clothes -- and two fluffy white terry robes in the closet.

I would absolutely come back, and hope to do so!
