    Only three days and would like to stay there all his life. Affectionate hospitality, by all. Beautiful concert of voices of nature, tireless. A lovely place. Too bad we could not take advantage, but only to our problems, the ecological swimming pool, but the owner said that water was already the right temperature. The first night we had the cheese of the Shepherd of whom felt the job somewhere in the Valley. The Abbey Do it occasionally sounds ... and the fireflies in the evening are endless! Mara and Dona
