Extraordinaria

Marion como anfitriona es excelente. Nos fue a comprar el primer día porque nuestro vuelo llegaba tarde. En el alojamiento tienes opción de comprar alimentos frescos de su propia cosecha. También dispone de servicio de lavadora y secadora!

Klassisch deutsch - Beschwerdebuch und dazu noch Schimmel

Die Anfahrt zur Unterkunft erfolgt durch ein Mischviertel aus Bauruinen und Villen. Sofort beim Betreten der Wohnung haben wir gefragt, ob frisch Arbeiten durchgeführt worden seien oder etwas feucht sei. Das wurde sofort laut vehement abgestritten. Kurz darauf sahen wir zwei überlaufende Raumentfeuchter. Die Wohnung ist super feucht und es riecht sehr stark nach Schimmel (Reisezeit März). Der Strom für die Heizung wird extra abgerechnet. Ebenso das Holz für den Kamin. Den Kamin kann man nicht bei jedem Wetter und jeder Windlage anzünden. Der Pool war noch nicht zugänglich. Bemerkenswert ist, dass es ein Beschwerdebuch aber kein Gästebuch gibt. Die Küche und Wohnung ist mit dem allernötigsten ausgestattet - dazu zählt allerdings kein Toilettenpapier. Die Wohnung liegt in einem Gebäudetrakt mit vielen anderen Einheiten. Die deutschen Auswanderer leben von der Vermietung und sind immer vor Ort. Die Wohnung ist sehr hellhörig. Durch die Fenster im Wohn- und Küchenbereich ist auch drinnen keine Privatsphäre vorhanden. Wir haben mit Mühe und Not drei Nächte bei offenem Fenster hier verbracht und haben dann eine andere Unterkunft bezogen.
