This well equipped Bach is directly across the road from the water. It has obviously just been renovated and while not 100% complete, it was comfortable and clean. The view is spectacular! We had a lovely relaxing time and it was an added bonus to be able to bring our dog ##### Renee E. Stayed 3 nights in May 2025
