The terrace was special. I spent many tender moments there, looking out over the serene landscape. The team here is amazing. Their kindness.

The room I had lacked proper sound insulation. I could hear everything happening next door, which disrupted the peace a little. a small leak resulted in water dripping onto the sunbed.
