Thank you so much to Jan and Ruud for inviting us, the Starr family, to dinner during our holiday. It was such a kind thing to do and was very much appreciated. It was a delight to experience Jan's food. artfully presented, perfectly cooked, fresh and delicious. and served by Ruud and his team with a smile. The hotel is beautifully decorated and would be a luxurious place to stay, we look forward to it in the future. I highly recommend the limecello! many thanks from me, Keith, Val and Cassie.
