What a View
A break was needed by all, stress at work and heath issues were overwhelming.
Well we couldn’t have picked a better place to go. From the view to the property everything was what we hoped for. We will be back.
Thank you so much for allowing us to live in your home, because that’s what it felt like, in a family home.
Wonderful setup for families! Excellent amenities, clean & spacious.

Ein toller Ort, ganz neu, toll ausgestattet!
Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit, es war nur zu kurz. Wir wurden freundlich begrüßt und waren erst die dritten Gäste in diesem ganz neuen Ferienhaus. Die Ausstattung is super!
