Our second visit here. Love the tranquility and quietness. You need a car to get about, as very rural, and away from shops etc. Will definitely be back again!! We did struggle with the uncomfortable settees... hopefully owners will invest in more comfy ones that you can lounge about if it's heavy raining and your stuck indoors... Also a smart TV would go well too if stuck indoors...as we are not live TV watchers as nothing good on. Internally a bit dated, however it didn't matter, as we love the location, views, calmness and owners are super kind and friendly, and were there if we needed anything .

Gut aufgeteilte Ferienwohnung, zwar etwas abseits gelegen, aber mit wunderschönem Ausblick über das Tal in die Berge. Wir habe uns wohlgefühlt.
