Heerlijk rustig gelegen vakantieadres

Rustieke oude boerderij op een heuveltop. De weg ernaartoe gaat met een aantal haarspeldbochten op een onverharde eigen weg. Complex is opgedeeld in een woonhuis voor de eigenaars en daarbij wat vroeger wellicht schuren of stallen waren voor de verhuur. Ontzettend aardige verhuurders, contact verloopt soepel, netjes. Midden in de natuur. Heel nice

Absolutely fantastic

We had the most wonderful stay of two weeks. Catina and Jack are wonderful hosts and immediately there to help at any time of the day or night. If you are looking for an absolutely remote location in the nature this is a great place. Especially in August when it is much cooler in the hills than in the villages. Thank you Catina!
