Michel welcomes you like a father, gives you advice as a brother, and talks to you as a friend.
Just as Michel, is the work easy going and the food excellent.
In short: Michel for president!
An excellent place to be if you're looking for calmness and quietness surrounding you.

I spend 2 Weeks in Michel’s cosy house in the rural area. It is surrounded by a lot of nature, it’s nice for walks and bicycle tours. The accommodation is good and clean, you will find a lot of artworks from Michel in the house. He is a very friendly host, excellent cook and I enjoyed the talks with him. The work was fair and I wish him much… read more
