“Set amidst a verdant landscape, the guesthouse offers spacious rooms, some featuring private gardens under majestic trees; a shared kitchen supports a longer stay. It strikes me as a budget-friendly retreat for those seeking tranquility, provided one is prepared for a degree of self-service and the somewhat remote location.”
