What a wonderful treasure trove – we have had such a lovely two nights here. Annie, you were born to make people welcome. We could go on forever about how welcome you made us feel. The food was perfection and your little oasis courtyard garden at the back was like stepping back in time. Thank you so much. We will return, hopefully soon.
