Séjour incroyable avec une vue magnifique et un très bon petit déjeuner. Merci au personnel très accueillant.
Pros:

Le logement est propre, bien pensé et la vue est incroyable. Il y a tout les équipements nécessaire.

Cons:

Les appartements sont à environs 700 mètres du bâtiments principal pour aller au petit déjeuner ça fait un peu loin. Bien que des solutions de transport soit proposés.

Pros:

The cottage was quite basic, but still lovely and had everything needed. We especially enjoyed the hot tub. It was very quiet, absolutely stunning views, nice pool as well. Would visit again!

Pleasant stay.
Pros:

Good shower and large bathroom. Nice view from the balcony.

Breakfast was good and staff pleasant and helpful.

The terrace seating area is very comfortable with plenty of seating.

Cons:

The bathroom door needs some easing oil as it is noisy when opened/closed.

The pillows are too big for the bed.

The electrical points in the bedside units are difficult to get to - you have to get on your knees to plug anything in. A point is also required above the table top to charge laptops etc.

Pros:

Die Unterkunft ist wunderschön gelegen. Eine wunderbare Aussicht von der Terrasse. Schöner großer Pool und gutes Frühstück. Schöne Zimmer.

Cons:

Dass es abends kein Abendessen gab, obzwar das in der Beschreibung angeboten wurde . Die Aufteilung der Zimmer war unlogisch… die Einzelpersonen haben große Zimmer bekommen, als Ehepaar bekam man ein sehr kleines Zimmer mit schmalem Bett.
