Very nice house, calm and beautiful surrounding

You get at little confused driving up the small bumpy road to the house not knowing really what to expect. But then this very nice house appears, surrounded with fields of sunflowers, wheat, and corn. Very nice house, clean, well equipped, and large rooms, and areas. Host was very easy to be in contact with and very service minded and helpful.

Ruim verblijf

Ruim verblijf. De airco was zeer welkom met de temperaturen die we hadden tijdens ons verblijf. Alleen jammer dat het zwembad op 400 van het verblijf ligt en niet de hele tijd toegankelijk is.
