I just wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed our short stay at your house. The position couldn't have been more beautiful and the house lent itself perfectly to our needs. We ate a Christmas eve banquet under the sails on the terrace in the sunshine, we sailed a little remote control boat on the lake, took paddle boats out, ate ice creams on the shore and took long walks around the lake. All things that make perfect family memories. We only wished we could have stayed longer.
