    Fine furnished house; wonderfully clean. A little more utensils for your own cooker would be nice. Friendly and welcoming reception. A beautiful private garden of the owner to visit - this was very special and nice to get personal explanation.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    Wonderfully quiet. Only clatter of storks above your head. That's different from traffic noise.
