Thanks for a cosy cabin, the best view I ever had from a toilet and a lot of interesting discussions about everything from history to current politics and organic farming. My friend, my dog and me had a good stay!

He has a great talent with horses too, they actually loved him.

Coco is a nice manager, funny, and a good cook. If you work well and are not too lazy He will be nice with you!
The farm is really rustic but don't be afraid it's an amazing place to stay with a good atmosphere between Coco and his helpers!
