Charming cottage in a charming village
What a charming little cottage and so typically Burgau.
Check-in was simple (complicated only by me!) and whilst we barely needed to contact Marcia at all, when we did she was friendly and helpful.
Suited our needs perfectly.
Thanks Marcia.

Vacanza a Burgau
Ho soggiornato con la mia famiglia (2 adulti e 1 bambino) per 1 settimana. La casa è in una posizione centrale ma non rumorosa. È accessoriata di tutto e molto pulita. La consiglio sicuramente
