Great to be back in 2011! We first came here in 2004. So beautiful and relaxing, drinking in the fragrances of Jen's beautiful roses. Giulio's beautiful woodwork surrounded us. Breakfast was wonderful, as was the conversation. Thanks Buddy for your great hosting! We'll be back.

Two great nights of sleep, hearty breakfasts, lovely weather. We watched Mr. squirrel fill his tummy from pine cones. We watched the Mallard family play in our secret little pond. We listened to the birdsong and frog chatter. Blessings to you.

You are THE BEST! We needed a quiet place to regroup and get pampered and this was it! Your're a fantastic cook and we felt so welcome. And Buddy, you're so sweet you remind me of my sweet baby who has passed on. It was great being with you all. Thank you so much.
