Heruntergewohnt, unsauber
Wohnbereich Böden und Möbel unvollständig gereinigt (Grosse Menge Krümel im Ausziehtisch, Dreck unter Stühlen und Tischen, Küche Arbeitsplatten und Spüle nicht vernünftig abgewischt, Bäder mit Schimmel im Nassbereich, Abflüsse verstopft, Auflagen für Liegen schadhaft und nicht ausreichend, Grill total verdreckt.
Die Holzdielen im Terrassen-und Poolbereich waren mangelhaft befestigt, d.h entweder lose oder die Schraubenköpfe der Befestigungsschrauben standen aus den Dielen 1-2mm heraus. Hohe Verletzungsgefahr.
Der Mietpreis ist für das gebotene maßlos überzogen.
Das Haus wirkt vernachlässigt. Reklamation bezüglich Z.B Verstopfung wurden jedoch umgehend erledigt. Die wöchentliche Zwischenreinigung ließ in der Ausführung erheblich zu wünschen übrig-man konnte danach aber nachvollziehen wieso das Haus so aussieht wie es aussieht.

Superbe et confortable villa pour le rassemblement de notre famille de 14 personnes
La villa est belle, confortable et très bien équipée. Elle se situe dans un environnement boisé avec un jardin bien entretenu et et agréablement fleuri.
La piscine chauffée et le spa ainsi que la terrasse en bois contribuent grandement à l'agrément du lieu. La terrasse entourant la piscine offre simultanément des endroits très ensoleillés ou des endroits bien ombragés. La cuisine d'été près de la piscine constitue un avantage supplémentaire indéniable.
Nous avons apprécié les 6 chambres à l'intérieur de la villa, toutes équipées d'une salle d'eau ou d'une salle de bains individuelle. Les lits sont confortables et la literie d'excellente qualité.
La cuisine bien dimensionnée et bien organisée est aussi très bien équipée en vaisselle et ustensiles de cuisine. Nous avons apprécié le four vapeur en plus du four standard.
La grande dimension du séjour a permis d'accueillir largement notre groupe de 14 personnes.
Nous avons tous beaucoup apprécié notre séjour à la villa Balaou. Nous recommandons vivement cette location.

Parfait
Endroit idyllique pour découvrir la région, ensuite pour l'étudier. Villa superbe, excellemment bien équipée (Les photos du site, déjà très jolies, ne rendent pas l'ambiance magique que l'on ressent quand on découvre le site). Ambiances festives à moins de 300m, petits commerces et pizzeria tous proches. Propriétaires charmants (Merci à vous). Déjà prévu d'y revenir... Fred

Très jolie maison, très bien équipée, dans un quartier calme et arboré
Nous avons passé les fêtes de Noël en famille, à 12, dans cette maison très agréable et conviviale.
Équipements complets, literie de très bonne qualité, nous nous sommes tout de suite sentis bien dans cette maison, facile à prendre en main.
Les propriétaires sont très à l’écoute.
Le Pyla est très agréable, Le Moulleau et Arcachon tout près.
Nous avons fait de grandes balades variées durant tout le séjour

Magnifique séjour
Groupe de 6 personnes, la villa tient toutes ses promesses autant au niveau de l'aménagement, du confort, de la qualité, de la décoration et de l'entretien que de l'accueil et de la disponibilité des propriétaires. A proximité de 2 restaurants 1 bar et 1 épicerie. La région est très belle.
