Perfekt sowohl fühlen und erholen
Pros:

Es war wirklich wie zu Hause, wir haben uns super wohl gefühlt, der Kater war die Lieblingsbeschäftigung meiner Tochter. Natürlich haben wir auch die Sauna (Wanja) und das wunderbare kühle Bad danach im Swimmingpool genossen. Die Wohnung ist groß, hell gemütlich der Massage Stuhl ist einfach perfekt Man kann nichts besseres finden. Ich werde sofort und gerne wiederkommen.

Good house. but the cat destroyed all good effort of the owners
Pros:

The house is nice, comfy, more and less it fits a description. a good value for the money spent.

Cons:

It was a huge surprise, when we found out, that the cat was living in the house. THE CAT IS THE OWNER OF THE HOUSE. First of all, during booking it was not mentioned anywhere! Me and my daughter are allergic to cats. Secondly, they write that the cat is easy. not going to the rooms. bull… we had to be very careful to open the doors. as she slipped few times inside our room. had to get her out of the bed.
Because of the cat it was a very poor experience ! It should be either mentioned in the title ! but for people with allergy, it is impossible to stey and enjoy the stay here.
