The location is exceptional ! We were in a wood house in the middle of a private museum to which we recommend the visit. The watermill is incredibly restored and we were amazed but its working. The house is week furnished and sparkly clean. We highly recommend to take few nights here to enjoy the property and the calm it inspires
