Wir haben eine Woche mit drei Kindern hier verbracht. Das Haus ist mit allem eingerichtet, was man braucht, Spülmaschine Waschmaschine etc. Die Vermieter wohnen auf dem Grundstück und sind freundlich und immer hilfsbereit. Uns hat der Aufenthalt hier sehr gefallen und wir kommen gerne wieder!Un grand merci à Christian et à sa famille, et peut-être à une prochaine rencontre !

Erholungsurlaub
Wir haben das zweite mal in Folge in Hanviller im Haus von Fam. Colling unseren Urlaub verbracht.
Die Zeit war einfach wunderbar.
Die Vermieter waren super nett und hilfsbereit (wir bekamen nicht nur einen Grill geliehen, sondern auch noch die Grillkohle oben drauf) und hätten uns immer an die Fam. Colling wenden können, falls wir noch etwas benötigten.
Das Haus ist geräumig, sehr sauber und mit allem ausgestattet. was man im Urlaub so braucht. Es liegt direkt am Waldrand und ist für Haustiere ideal.
Wir haben mit unserem kleinen Hund eine sehr schöne Zeit verbracht, an die wir uns gerne zurück erinnern.
Wir werden immer im nächsten Jahr wieder dort buchen.

Schöner, ruhiger Aufenthalt
Haus, Garten und Umgebung genau so, wie wir es uns erwünscht hatten. Sehr angenehme und freundliche Gastgeber. Das Haus selbst war mit allem was man so braucht ausgestattet. Wir können uns gut vorstellen mit Kindern und Enkelkindern noch einmal dort Urlaub zu machen.
