Cecilia's place was gorgeous with unique architecture and county touches. If you're looking for a quiet place away from the city this is it.

We really enjoyed our stay. The room is so peaceful and relaxing. Then, if you choose, you can walk the grounds where there are pigs, tons of chickens, a cow and even a peacock. If you love farm life and want to relax, this is an excellent place to go. Took my nature loving 10 ye…
