Lovely small private gardens in a historic old house with many levels and small alcoves.
It is a delight to walk around. There are an abundance of frogs and birds. Had a coffee to start (excellent coffee), and tasted some wine after.
The wine is from the garden, the vines in the surrounding fields.
A great place to while away a few hours.
