The House of the Seven Dwarfs
That's what we called it - the house of the seven dwarfs. However, don't be held back by the "dwarf" part - it's not tiny! It is just extremely cosy, cute, and elegant. Vintage, yet certainly not outworn. An extremely pleasant experience for those like us, coming from the modernism of the city who want to find some peace, quietness and family-feeling. My kids hardly touched their phones and did not even open a laptop or tablet! We did watch, all together, a nice Disney movie, though. If I have to mention a negative thing, there would be two: driving out of the property onto the street can be dangerous, as it's a blind curve. Just drive slow & careful and you'll be ok. And secondly, you're asked to leave the property by 10am - which for some of us, on a Sunday, was a little painful. But to some extent, it's part of the charm. You won't be disappointed!
