“The property was originally a farm from 1908. The house is amazing! It is like going back to that year. There is so much history in it : paintings, photos, furniture.
Also, the food was really good! And you can cool down at the pool.

“We stayed three nights at the country house and loved every minute of it. The house itself with its friendly staff, cozy rooms and 3-course-dinner was already unique. The stay included two Game drives per day and each was an adventure of its own!...”
