It is a great experience, the coexistence makes you be part of a whole, you are one of the family. Donna is one of the best hosts you could ever be lucky enough to get. She is a guide if you have any doubts, she gives you a helping hand, the room is impeccable and the area one of the most beautiful places to be enjoy being connected with nature every calm follows you where you want to go when we are travelers the most difficult thing is the goodbyes but here I leave happy because I leave a new friend
