Schöner Pool - Unterkunft mit Minuspunkte

Wir waren 1 Woche mit unserer Tochter (2J) zu Gast und hatten eine schöne Zeit. Der Pool ist super mit Kindern. Trotz Sommerferien war nicht viel los. Die Unterkunft ist gut aber mit Defiziten. Die Klimaanlage war kaputt - dafür haben wir nach der Beschwerde 10 % zurück bekommen. Die Wohnung war sauber aber mit einigen Armeisen - das liegt wohl am Klima. Die Wohnung war etwas spartanisch eingerichtet, aber alles ausreichend. Die Lage ist sehr abseits - man braucht unbedingt ein Auto! Die Kommunikation mit dem Gastgeber war gut. Er hat schnell reagiert, wenn wir geschrieben haben.

Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023
