Review for stay from 21 June 2025 to 28 June 2025
Een rustige plek waar je goed kunt verblijven. Het zwembad is geweldig en in combinatie met de woning maakt dit veel goed. De woning is netjes en goed uitgerust. De matrassen zijn overigens al wel aan vervanging toe. Voor personen die lastig ter been zijn mis ik een armleuning bij de trappen naar het zwembad. Op een dag ging het stroom er volledig af, maar met behulp van Interhome i.c.m. videobellen was dit snel opgelost. De route vanuit Zwitserland, via een oude verlaten bergpas, naar de accommodatie kan voor sommigen een ware beproeving zijn, ook de rit van en naar de accommodatie, om boodschappen te gaan doen, gaat over zeer steile en smalle weg.
