We had an absolutely amazing stay with James and Olga. They both took great effort in making my 50th birthday unforgettable. The food (and birthday cake) were amazing! Olga has a superb talent for detail and is very attentive, and James is a brilliant and very entertaining host and tourguide! We both felt very welcome and spoiled rotten!
