One of our favourite places to visit.
Pros:

It had been some years since we'd visited Rolf's and it was as good as we remembered. Delighted to find Frederika and Johannes as welcoming and convivial as ever

Beautiful property managed by true professionals
Pros:

Beautiful property- - tastefully decorated surrounded by pretty gardens . The beds were first rate - fabulous linens .
Breakfast was first class - fresh fruit ,yoghurt, granola , pastries followed by choice of hot breakfast including eggs Benedict - eggs royale

Cons:

My cottage only had downstairs toilet so if a nighttime visit is required it necessitates a trip down fairly steep steps . There was no evening restaurant which was disappointing as they obviously serve beautiful food.
