However, it is still motorable, and most cars can access the property without any issues. We recommend driving slowly and with a bit of caution through this stretch. ⚠️ As the property is surrounded by nature and next to a forest, you may occasionally spot insects and, very rarely, a snake. We simply recommend being a little cautious while outdoors. 🍛 Meal service available (payable separately) — just let us know one day in advance. 🍽️ We have a kitchenette available for your convenience.
