Jul 11, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Ruhige Unterkunft mit großem Garten Wir waren 16 Tage in dem Ferienhaus und waren zufrieden. Die Gastfreundschaft war 100% Top. Immer zu erreichen! Es war auch mal schön einfach einen Tag im Haud zu bleiben und die Ruhe im Garten zu genießen. Wir waren mit 3 Kindern dort, 1,2 und 3 Jahre alt. Da dort sehr viel dekoriert ist war das das einzige was uns den Urlaub ein wenig erschwert hat. Es ist alles super gemütlich eingerichtet und das Haus hat vorne viele Orangenbäume mit einer kleinen Terasse. Hinter dem Hazs ist dann noch ein riesiger Pool, Hängematten und eine überdachte Terasse. Preis-Leistungsverhältniss ist rundum top. Selbst Kinderbett und Hochstuhl wurden extra für uns organisiert. ##### Nathalie L. Stayed 16 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter R.
