Pros:

Die Gastgeberin sowie das Personal waren sehr freundlich. Alles war sauber und das Essen sehr lecker. Nachdem wir ausgecheckt hatten, durften wir trotzdem noch einige Zeit im Garten/am Pool verbringen. Wir sind mit unserem 6-Jährigen gereist umd hatten das Gefühl, dass Kinder willkommen sind. Wir kommen gerne wieder! Herzlichen Dank! <3

Pros:

En lite oas mitt i stan som vi varmt kan rekommendera. Rent och fräscht. Väldigt trevlig och serviceinriktad personal/ägare. Härligt poolområde och trädgård.

Cons:

Det enda är att vi hade uppskattat ett kokt ägg till frukost, annars har vi inget att klaga på.

Prettig verblijf, vriendelijk personeel
Pros:

Lokatie was prima. Bovenop een heuvel. Mooi uitzicht. Zwembad en zonneweide met bedden en stoelen.
Ontbijt was goed.
Host erg vriendelijk.

Cons:

Wij zijn te kort geweest om te zien/ merken of iets tegen valt.
De eerste dag zijn er naar beneden gelopen en ook weer omhoog, best ver en pittig!
Gelukkig hadden we de volgende dag een -gratis- buskaart 😅
