Die Kommunikation mit der Vermieterin war sehr gut, schnelle Antwort auf alle Fragen. Viel Platz in der Villa, großer Wintergarten. Die Einrichtung ist schon älter, aber war funktional. Insgesamt hatten wir eine sehr schöne Zeit. Gegen die Mücken muss man sich allerdings draußen schützen. Es gab Mückenschuutz an den Fenstern. ##### Claudia L.
