I had a great and special experience, Brigitte is an inspiring and lovely woman who immediately made me feel at home. The house is charming and the view is amazingly beautiful.
I will only mention that the walk to the train involved a long and arduous descent/ascent, which made it uncomfortable for me to walk around alone.
