Das Haus ist sehr geräumig und mit allem was das Herz begehrt ausgestattet. Die Gartenanlage erzeugt ein mediterranes Wohlgefühl mit Pool, Sauna sowie einer Tischtennis"halle" in einem Nebengebäude. Das Wohngebäude ist ein ausgebautes ehemaliges Tagebau Gebäude weit ab vom Schuss.Dementsprechend hört man außer Vögeln bzw. gelegentlichem Hundegebell quasi nichts - sehr entspannend! ##### Wolfram L.

Nur die Anreise mit ÖPNV war eine kleine Abenteuerreise, da die Busse teilweise nur einmal täglich fahren. Das Haus war geräumig und gut ausgestattet, die Zimmer nett und es gab genug Bäder für alle. Unser Highlight war der Pool und der kleine Berg am Haus, von dem aus man den Sonnenuntergang perfekt beobachten könnte. ##### Tisa B.

Hatten ausreichend Platz zum Schlafen. Der Pool war ein highlight. Die verschiedenen Sitzplätze im großen, naturnahen Garten waren ideal, um Schatten zu finden und gemeinsam zu sitzen. Auch das Gasthaus in Langenaltheim, mit regionaler Küche, hat uns gefallen. ##### Lothar-Friedrich Alfred Karl G.

Das Haus ist sehr groß und geräumig und bietet alles, was man braucht. Unsere Kinder konnten sich draußen und drinnen ordentlich austoben und hatten sehr viel Spaß. Die Gastronomie im Ort und in den Nachbarorten war leider überschaubar und Vieles geschlossen weshalb wir am letzten Abend eine kleine Odyssee hatten noch einen Platz zum Abendessen zu finden. Alles in allem aber ein schönes Wochenende mit Freunden im Altmühltal. ##### Sabrina K.

Das Objekt bietet ausreichend Platz und ist gut ausgestattet. Außerdem sind unsere Gastgeber unglaublich zuvorkommend und freundlich gewesen und haben immer schnell geantwortet und geholfen, wenn wir Fragen hatten. Ein sehr angenehmer Urlaub! ##### Felix B.

All was perfect/so much space I lost my way a few times!! Only downside was the requests for cleaning when we left. When we arrived it took a few hours to sort/organize plates and cooking items in the right place. When we left we all spent at least half a day to clean/wash/tidy - as per the owner's written request so I think the cleaning charge was not appropriate. Anyway we had a great xmas family time so thankyou again! ##### Sara K.

Es hat uns an nichts gefehlt und vor allem der Pool am Haus war ein riesen Highlight. Der Außenbereich war einfach traumhaft. Aufgrund des tollen Wetters haben wir die meiste Zeit im Freien verbracht. Die Betten waren für manche unserer Teilnehmenden etwas eng (1,40 m bei einer Nutzung zu zweit). Sonst hat es uns aber an nichts gefehlt. Wir hatten sehr schöne Tage in der Unterkunft. ##### Anke B. Stayed 7 nights in May 2023
