Strategisch gelegen vakantieverblijf op fraaie locatie
Rustig vakantieverblijf op een zeer fraaie locatie met een prachtig uitzicht, voorzien van een fraai zwembad. De woonkamer en keuken zijn eenvoudig ingericht en voorzien van voldoende voorzieningen voor het verblijf. Via een smalle, stijle trap worden 2 slaapkamers bereikt die voorzien zijn van goede bedden. Op die etage is ook de badkamer en is het (enige) toilet. 1 slaapkamer bevat de trap naar de 3e slaapkamer waar ook een goed bed staat maar die wel een open verbinding heeft met de slaapkamer eronder. San-Lorenzo (San Lurenzu) is zeer strategisch gelegen en stelt je goed in staat om met fatsoenlijke aanrijtijden de volledige noordelijke helft van Corsica te kunnen verkennen. De eigenaren wonen naast de accommodatie en dat zijn zeer vriendelijke en betrokken mensen. Een aanrader voor (bijvoorbeeld) de actieve wandelaar.

Das echte Korsika in den Bergen
Wir waren mit drei Teenagerkindern eine Woche bei groรer Hitze in dem Ferienhaus und haben uns von Anfang an sehr wohl gefรผhlt. Das Haus ist gemรผtlich, bietet alles, was man braucht, und lรคsst sich dank der dicken Steinmauern und den schweren Fensterlรคden tagsรผber sehr gut kรผhl halten. Was man hier findet: Stille, den Ausblick auf die korsischen Berge, nachts Kรผhle und tagsรผber Hitze, einen groรen Pool, kรผhles Quellwasser zum Trinken in unmittelbarer Nรคhe, Wildschweine, vielfรคltige Wandermรถglichkeiten und grรผne Wรคlder. Alles, was man zum Leben benรถtigt sowie eine tolle Outdoor-Agentur findet man im nahegelegenen Ponte Leccia. An die kurvige Bergstraรe dorthin gewรถhnt man sich schnell.
Das Allerbeste an dem Ferienhaus sind die beiden Gastgeber: Virginie und Pierre sind unglaublich hilfsbereit und gastfreundlich und haben uns viele gute Tipps fรผr Ausflรผge gegeben. Bei unserer spรคten Anreise am ersten Abend warteten korsischer Wein, Schinken und Honig auf uns. Ein sehr groรes Dankeschรถn an die beiden und ihre ganze Familie, insbesondere auch an die sehr netten Enkelkinder!

Super !
We hadden een hele goede ontvangst, ook al kwamen we door autopanne maar om 1 u 's nachts aan. Er was vlot contact met de eigenaars en het was aangenaam om te merken hoe ze mee leefden met ons.
Het huis is gelegen in een rustige straat/dorpje waar maar enkele huizen staan. Het huis is van alle gemakken voorzien. Het zwembad was zร lig om te gebruiken, niet enkel om wat op te frissen, maar ook om in te spelen en te zwemmen. Daarnaast was het aangenaam om de ligzetels te gebruiken aan het zwembad.
Het huis heeft een prachtig uitzicht op de bergen waarin het gelegen is, wat je enkel kunt bereiken door een wel wat kronkelige bergweg. Het leent zich ook goed om prachtige wandelingen te maken, dankzij de tips van de gastvrouw. Het is wel een pluspunt om wat conditie te hebben voor de wandelingen.
Het was jammer dat we door de autopanne niet de volledige week aanwezig waren, want het was een super aangenaam verblijf, bedankt hiervoor Virginie !
Nous avons eu un trรจs bon accueil, mรชme si nous ne sommes arrivรฉs qu'ร 1h du matin suite ร une panne de voiture. Il y avait un contact facile avec les propriรฉtaires et c'รฉtait agrรฉable de voir comment ils sympathisaient avec nous.
La maison est situรฉe dans une rue/un village calme oรน il n'y a que quelques maisons. La maison est entiรจrement รฉquipรฉe. La piscine รฉtait super ร utiliser, non seulement pour se rafraรฎchir, mais aussi pour jouer et nager. De plus, il รฉtait agrรฉable d'utiliser les transats au bord de la piscine.
La maison a une belle vue sur les montagnes dans lesquelles elle se trouve, qui ne peut รชtre atteinte que par une route de montagne quelque peu sinueuse. Elle se prรชte aussi bien ร de belles balades, grรขce aux conseils de la maรฎtresse de maison. C'est un plus d'avoir une certaine condition pour les promenades.
Dommage que nous n'ayons pas รฉtรฉ prรฉsents toute la semaine ร cause de la panne de voiture, car ce fut un sรฉjour trรจs agrรฉable, merci Virginie !

Natur pur
Steinhaus aus der Gegend, im alten Stil renoviert, angenehm kรผhlend im Sommer, mit moderner Kรผche, einem Grill im Auรenbereich und einer Terrasse. Das Haus ist Teil einer kleinen Hรคuseransammlung, deren Bewohner wir kaum zu Gesicht bekommen haben. Der groรe Pool (gespeist aus der Quelle und daher von wunderbarer Wasserqualitรคt) im Garten der Vermieter steht zur Alleinnutzung fรผr die Gรคste zur Verfรผgung und ist auch vom Bereich der Vermieter abgetrennt. Das Trinkwasser kann man gut aus dem Wasserhahn trinken, oder sich aus der Quelle abfรผllen. Frau und Herr Riand sind sehr reizende, fรผrsorgliche und zuvorkommende Vermieter, denen das Wohlergehen ihrer Gรคste spรผrbar am Herzen liegt. Sie stehen mit Informationen zur Gegend und Empfehlungen fรผr Restaurants und Wanderungen gerne zur Verfรผgung. Die Besitzer sind sehr kinderfreundlich. Es ist eine abgeschiedene, lรคndliche Gegend. Der Weg zur Hauptstraรe und zur nรคchsten Einkaufsmรถglichkeit betrรคgt ca. 25 min mit dem Auto.

Es war alles wunderbar und wie erwarte. Sehr hilfsbereite, freundliche Vermieter. Zur Info: der Pool ist mit den Vermietern gegeinsam zu nutzen. Einzige kleine Einschrรคnkung ist die Infrastruktur: die Bรคckerei/genereller Einkauf/Restaurant sind nur nach ca 30 minรผtigen Fahrt zu erreichen.

The rest and quiet of nature
Our party of four, two adults and two children under 10 had a great week in the residence of Virginie and Pierre. The clean spacious house was very well equipped. The pool was lovely for the children and for us, of course. The nature in the area is overwhelmingly beautiful. In the neighborhood are spectacular walks and routes to drive. It is a nice base to discover different parts of the Northern part of Corse. Keep in mind that the shops, the supermarket and restaurants are a 30 minute drive and
the telephone connection in the mountains is not always sufficient. It gave us the feeling of freedom and being away from the hastle of the city.

Schรถnes Haus mit tollem Pool
Wir haben uns dort sehr wohlgefรผhlt. Von der Terrasse ein herrlicher Blick auf die Berge Korsikas. Einziger Nachteil: Um auf die Hauptstraรe bzw. zum Einkaufen zu fahren, muss man jedes mal eine 15 km lange, sehr schmale Straรe benutzen.
