Dog ingen lås på dørene til badeværelset og der er forholdsvis meget gøen fra nabo hunde. Men huset og poolen var så fint ##### Bodil R.

La piscina, las vistas, la casa a la que no falta detalle, han contribuido a ello. Es de agradecer la limpieza en todo el recinto, tanto en el interior como en el exterior, la cocina con productos de primera necesidad (sal, azúcar, café, etc) Sin olvidar el detalle del vino y los dulces de la llegada a la casa. La zona es verdaderamente bonita y hemos disfrutado de la playas fluviales y del entorno del río. Muy recomendable ##### Raquel P. ### 6/10 Okay #### Alain C. 7 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy Disliked: Location #### Bon séjour, mais.... La maison est tout à fait conforme aux photos, de la place, piscine très agréable. Excellente relation avec l'hôte, Guest Ready, disponible et efficace. Le gros point noir ce sont les aboiements des chiens du voisinage ! A n'importe quelle heure du jour et de la nuit ! Horrible et très stressant ! ##### Alain C.
