We loved the location! We slept very well; the beds and showers were impeccable. The exterior is very natural, since the tall grass was not mowed as in the pictures. The sauna and the fire pit were still accessible despite the tall grass, and we enjoyed the peace in nature. Note for the fire: there are two long wooden benches. Remember to bring folding chairs if there are 6 of you and you want to eat outside, as there were only 4 chairs at the outdoor table. Finally, the spa had a lot of foam upon arrival. The host was reassuring, mentioning that this could happen, confirming that it was normal and that we could use it even if we found the amount of foam quite impressive. All in all, it was a very pleasant family vacation!

It was very good and modern. We weren't lucky because the first evening we had no electricity and the BBQ wasn't working well, but apart from that, it was a nice weekend.
