Hello Fianna, thank you very much for your great review. It’s always a pleasure to see that people love our place. It was a pleasure to welcome you, hoping to see you again in the future.
Sincerely,
Hugo
Alles OK. Das Ferienhaus ist geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Das Grundstück wunderschön. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Für ein Paar ist alles wunderbar. Bei mehr Personen könnte es schwierig werden. Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet. Leider kein Restaurant und keine Einkaufsmöglichkeit in fußläufiger Entfernung.
Die Lage auf dem Höhenrücken mit der Rundumsicht ist einfach großartig! Die Unterkunft selbst ist sehr gut ausgestattet. Wir haben nichts vermisst. Die Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter war bestens!
