Perfect house for 14 people group

We stayed here with a group of 14 friends (cyclists) in May 2024. The house is in real life even better than on the pictures, with plenty of room for 14 people, big dinner table and couch, plenty of outside space. Kitchen is well equipped, showers are modern and clean, we very much enjoyed the hot tub. Elise was super friendly and responsive and flexible for check-in and check-out, which we very much appreciated. Location is perfect, very quiet area in Ventron, absolutely beautiful for having dinner outside on the porch. We have been going on long week-ends with the same group for about 10 years now and everyone agreed this was one of if not the best house we ever rented. Highly recommended!

Es war ein phantastisches Wochenende. Das Haus ist vollständig ausgerüstet, eas ich insbesondere bei der Küche noch nie so erlebt habe. Messer, Raclette, Austernmesser ……. alles war da. Tolle Räume, wir haben es genossen.
