Die Unterkunft ist super mit schöner Sportanlage. Das Haus ist sehr schön eingerichtet mit attraktiven Pool. Wir waren im Herbst da und die Kinder konnten noch in den Pool.
Das Objekt ist von den größeren Städten ca 30-45 Minuten entfernt.
In Summe waren wir zufrieden.

Great for families with kids
My family and I loved this place! Kids were impressed the most, they had a lot of fun here.
You can do everything, from swimming in the pool to playing various sports in the
sports area of the villa. The house is very pretty, comfortable and well maintained. It's in a very
quiet area, so it's a perfect place for peace and relaxation. Would recommend having a car,
since it's not very close to beaches and cities.
