Turning a vast abandoned glass factory into a thing of great beauty was a great work, one enabled and joined by the best local working team we could have had. They worked from sunup to sunset with a small break for lunch. I know, because I worked beside them for the last three months of the renovation. Today, after eleven years of welcoming guests from every corner of the globe, I look back with a sense of wonder and, yes, surprise.

Oh My Colleen, the forethought, determination and ambition you are have put into this wonderful place. I love seeing old made new again. And the best part is that I/We got to experience it firsthand. I cooked in that kitchen, and the chef prepared the most delectable meal, such beautiful memories.
