Matilda's home is beautiful. Her taste in furnishings, colors, bed linens, etc. is impeccable. The porch held special appeal for us as the weather cooled. We turned off the AC, and stayed on the porch to nurse our wine/drinks, morning pastries and coffee, etc. We were surrounded by fifty shades of green and the blue sky over the mountain tops, truly a reprieve from our FL summer weather and landscape, and an escape from suburban sameness.
