Tjeerd February 22, 2024 General rating:We are campers and therefore everything in this cottage was top luxury. Suzanne, the landlady, lives on the same property and she is fantastic. So is Otis (the dog). There is really local cafe restaurant in the neighboring village. Ohh, private pool!
Wij zijn kampeerders en derhalve was alles in dit huisje top luxe. Alles is er, alle comfort.
Suzanne, de verhuurster, woont op het zelfde terrein en ze is fantastisch. Otis (de hond) eveneens. Er is echt local cafe restaurant in het naburige dorpje. Ohh, privé zwembad!Nature, peace & environment:Peace, and more peace, tingtangel of goat bells, vistas, lemon and orange groves. And wonderful walks.
Rust, en nog meer rust, tingtangel van geitenbellen, vergezichten, citroen- en sinaasappelgaarden. En heerlijke wandelingen.
