First time as a cave dweller,

This was great fun. I think if the original cave dwellings were this comfortable, mankind would never have bothered to build houses!

Wonderful property

What a wonderful surprise! Everything from our exceptional hosts, their warm hospitality to a unique and beautiful property. We struggled with the language differences but together we found a way through it. Americans are famous for not speaking the native language and unreasonably expecting everyone else to speak English. With tools such as Google translate we were able to actually able “converse”, it actually functioned. Dom took the time to explain how this property was made by people from long ago as well as he and his family adapted the cave to meet modern expectations. Thank you Rose and Dom for a wonderful stay which will provide us with exceptional memories for our trip to France.
