Our hosts are serious about creating a "peaceful sanctuary," and they have succeeded. A dog, a cat, ducks, visiting chickens, a garden, a tiny bakery in the first floor of our tiny, apartment full of plants (we counted 13 in a 400-foot space) and old, interesting furniture, trees blazing gold and burgundy, clear blue sky, fresh croissants, fresh bread, deep quiet punctuated only by quacking - this is the perfect place to reconnect with a friend.
Just by luck, we landed on a baking day and bought two loaves of sourdough, two plain croissants, two chocolate, and one fruit-filled. Delicious. Our host does not bake every day. You might wish to inquire.
