I love a bit of humor and to make my guests feel welcome and comfortable. The farm offers a lot of river fun and outdoor activities. Come and feel the sensations of fresh dew grass beneath your feet. And at night ... look at the stars. I love: Jogging, hiking, tennis and playing the piano. To sit by a campfire or fire place and read, drink my coffee or wine and laugh with good friends. And ... nature is my "home"! Please remenber: My guesthouses are not a white-linen experience! Come and relax.
