    schönes Ferienhaus…
    5 out of 5
    Haben den Aufenthalt im Ferienhaus sehr genossen, unserem Hund hat es auch viel Spaß gemacht. Der See war nur wenige Meter vom Haus entfernt, die Lage ist absolut ruhig und idyllisch mit Blick ins Grüne von der sehr großzügigen Terrasse. Sauna und Whirlpool waren toll zum entspannen. Im Haus war alles sauber und gut ausgestattet zum selbst kochen. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten nur wenige Autominuten entfernt. Wir waren sehr zufrieden und können dieses Haus auf jeden Fall weiter empfehlen. …
