10/10 Exceptional! (1 review)

Mijn man en ik hebben hier heerlijke dagen gehad. We hadden de accommodatie gehuurd voor ons tweeën, omdat we onder de indruk waren van het huis, de beschrijving, het zwembad, de jacuzzi, sauna, de tuin. We hebben een geweldig mooi en relaxed verblijf gehad. We werden hartelijk welkom geheten door de dochter van de eigenaren. Een fles bubbels met nootjes en zoutjes kregen we bij aankomst. Heerlijk! Alles was perfect in de woning. De woning en inrichting is meer dan compleet. Een aanrader om met een grotere groep of lekker intiem om met z’n tweeën te verblijven.
