"sehr schöne Unterkunft mit fantastischem Blick, absolut ruhig, sehr nette Vermieter, 2 schöne Terassen, gute Ausstattung, sehr sauber, Anzeige etwas ungenau, da im eigentlichen Haus nur 4 Betten, dazu können 2 weitere Zimmer gebucht werden, wenn man mit mehr als 4 Personen kommt. Wunderbare Umgebung. Insgesamt sehr zu empfehlen."
