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.
