Das Haus ist geschmackvoll eingerichtet, alles nötige ist vorhanden. Es liegt ruhig und idyllisch, Courtance und damit der Supermarkt sind aber mit dem Auto innerhalb weniger Minuten erreichbar. Die Betten sind sehr bequem. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und würden beim nächsten Mal wieder hier übernachten. ##### Nicole L. Stayed 14 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jörg D. Jul 15, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt. Relativ abgelegen in einem schönen Hofgelände befindet sich die sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtete Wohnung. Alles ist funktional und die Küche ist gut ausgestattet. Die Vermieter sind sehr freundlich und wohnen im Haupthaus. In wenigen Hundert Metern Entfernung befindet sich das eindrucksvolle Schloß Gratot, das sicherlich einen Besuch wert ist. Wir können diese Unterkunft ohne Einschränkung empfehlen. Man sollte allerdings ein Fahrzeug zur Verfügung haben, die nächsten Einkaufsmöglichkeiten / Supermarkt sind etwas weiter entfernt. ##### Jörg D.
