Mar 4, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wunderschönes Haus mit Stil Das Haus ist wunderschön, hervorragend aufgeteilt und geräumig, mit allem ausgestattet, was man sich in einem Ferienhaus nur wünschen kann und geschmackvoll und wohnlich dekoriert. Der Garten ist groß und wirklich prächtig, und der Blick über die Bucht ist großartig. Den Fernseher bräuchte man daher eigentlich gar nicht, aber auch hier ist die Ausstattung allerbestens mit Netflix und Wii. ##### Ingrid A.
