Sep 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy Sehr nettes altes und uriges Häuschen mit schönem Blick von der Terasse aus in die Berge. Es gibt überall Schattierungsmöglichkeiten.Zudem gibt es einen geschützten Innenhof und einen kleinen Vorgarten. Parken kann man direkt vor dem Haus.Zwei Badezimmer sind auch sehr angenehm. Die Küche ist groß und gut ausgestattet.Die Gastgeberin Maria ist ausgesprochen nett und hat uns bei Anreise ein kleines Willkommenspaket mit Leckerein bereit gestellt und uns immer wieder mit eigenem Obst versorgt. W-LAN lief auch einwandfrei.Einziges kleines Manko: es gab sehr viele Katzen und Schnaken um das Haus herum (wie aber meist überall sonst auch) und es gab einige Ruinen in unmittelbarer Nähe des Hauses, was uns aber nicht gestört hat. ##### Nora A.
