Außergewöhnlich gut!

Der Aufenthalt war wirklich außergewöhnlich gut! Das Zimmer war liebevoll eingerichtet und sehr sauber. Prima Bett! Das Abendessen, vom Eigentümer zubereitet und mit den Mitbewohnern zusammen gegessen, war sehr gut. Man wohnt allerdings etwas abseits im Nirwana, aber für Wanderer, Cabriofahrer und alle, die Ihre Ruhe haben möchten, einfach PERFEKT!

Memorable ,

We opted to include dinner and this resulted in a very convivial evening with our hosts, Jaap and Ahmet and a fellow guest, Oliver. A very good “Home cooked“ repast ! Our hosts also furnished us with very good local information and suggestions for our stay in the area, of which they are justifiably proud
