Alles war genauso wie beschrieben – sogar noch schöner. Die Villa ist sehr geschmackvoll puristisch eingerichtet, sauber und perfekt ausgestattet (von der Küche über die Klimaanlagen bis hin zum Pool). Besonders gut gefallen hat uns der Außenbereich mit Pool und Terrasse – ideal zum Entspannen und Genießen.Die Lage ist ruhig, Restaurants und Ausflugsmöglichkeiten sind mit dem Auto erreichbar.

Nur noch ein Whirlpool hat gefehlt und das Internet ist nicht so gut wie gewohnt. Insektengitter an den Fenstern in den Schlafzimmern wären nicht verkehrt und ein Holzgrill für die Außenküche. Wir waren zu siebt und hatten eine sehr angenehme Zeit. ##### Kemal H.
