Mario is nice. His son Jans is very nice, too, and makes a lovely breakfast, including good, strong coffee and eggs to your order.

The family's house is venerable and beautiful—all old stone and massive wood beams, and decorated in a comfortable, stylish, personal way. The price is right. However, the house is sited about thirty or forty yards from a busy highway. If highway noise bothers you, you will want to ask for the room farthest away from the road, or bring earplugs.

The road that the house is on is very dimly lit at the roundabout you need to turn from to get there. I strongly advise anyone who plans to stay here to ask Mario or Jans for explicit directions.

I heard from a fellow guest that Mario and Jans have a boat and hire out to take guests around if the circumstances allow. But I was not there long enough to try it.
