Rust in de villa op het platte land
Ruime boerderij, met voldoende kamers en badkamers, mooie living en keuken en speelzaal. Alles was er.Spijtig dat de boederijvilla niet proper was. Niet de ruimtes , als het keukengerief.het bad was te vuil om te gebruiken,we zijn begonnen met de afwas te doen. Ook buiten groeide het onkruid weelderig en moesten we de bbq schoonmaken alvorens te gebruiken. Met een beetje meer aandacht voor hygiene zou het ideaal geweest zijn.
