I stayed for a total of 4 weeks and had a wonderful time! It's a great place to live close to nature, watching the sunrises and showering beneath the stars. Angelica makes the best food in the country and it's always enough for everyone. I really enjoyed cooking and baking a carrot cake in the clay oven with her. Thank you Ottoman for creating this beautiful place! I will never forget the nights around the fire making bread on a stick and talking until late in the night. I can't wait to come back in a few years to see how the place has progressed!
