Ann-Marie and Emeric are very welcoming people. we had a long drive from the airport so didn't arrive when we had expected to - they were still waiting for us. the room is very lovely and the bed was great! It was hot but with strategically placed fans each evening the room cooled off more than enough for sleeping comfortably, even though there is no ac. Since we were visiting family, we spent no time in the lovely three level back yard but i can definitely see how that would be a great space after a day of sightseeing! We stayed eight days and really appreciated being able to do some laundry mid-week.
