Hosts I’m Alex. I live next door with my partner Greta, two quiet dogs, and a cat. We’re around if you need anything - directions, restaurant tips, good conversation. Some guests we barely see. Others end up staying for dinner and talking until midnight. Whatever feels right for you. Im a qualified life coach and spent years in the corporate world before walking away to build this life. If you’re at a crossroads yourself - thinking about slowing down, changing direction, figuring out what actually matters - I’m happy to talk. No agenda. Just conversation. If you’d rather just swim, read, sleep, and disappear for a few days, that’s perfect too. What guests have said “This whole experience felt like a fairytale and gave me much clarity and so much peace.” “Perfect for recharging both body and soul.” The kind of place this is Quiet. Unplugged. Real. Just beautiful old buildings, a river that’s been here for thousands of years, and the kind of silence most people have forgotten exists. Come and do nothing for a while.
