The house was nice, but it was not checked out prior to our visit. No hot water for 3 days, leak in one bathroom, no wine glasses until we complained, broken toilet in one bathroom, the beds were horrid and the place had a bad ant problem.

Op zich mooie Villa, maar tijdens ons verblijf een hoop ellende gehad en heen en weer ge-mail en ge-app met de organisatie, hetgeen niet echt rustgevend was.Helaas niet eerder kunnen inchecken met baby (middagslaapje nodig). Voordat we konden inchecken kregen we al een mail dat er 's avonds twee medewerkers kwamen om een slaapkamerdeur te bekijken. Deze was blijkbaar vernield door vorige gasten. Geen slot en geen deurkruk. Deur was niet direct te maken of te vervangen. Tijdens heel ons verblijf de deur dus niet dicht kunnen doen.Eenpersoonsbedden op de verdieping waren "doorgezakt".Na twee dagen een verstopte wc op de begane grond. De loodgieter die kwam, kon het niet verhelpen. De rioolontstopper die de andere dag kwam, was al vaker daar geweest voor dezelfde toilet. Nadat de wc was ontstopt, na één dag toilet weer verstopt.Bij het koken in de keuken, meerdere malen de stroom afgeslagen. Na enkele airco's en andere apparaten uit te hebben gezet, bleef de stroom "aan".In de badkamer op de begane grond, een stopcontact in de spiegel helemaal los. Gevaarlijk.Zwembad bleek niet standaard verwarmd. Zou extra voor betaald moeten worden. Hadden we niet begrepen, maar in de advertentie stond "heatable". Op zich prachtige locatie, maar het vakantiegenot werd flink teniet gedaan, door "alle ellende" en was het, het betaalde bedrag eigenlijk niet waard.

Die Zimmer waren sauber, die Schränke leicht modrig. Kleinere Probleme mit den Abflüssen, müssen jeden Tag durchwässert werden, sonst stinkt es. Pool super, Garten sehr sehr gepflegt. Lage: Hinterland, somit dringend Auto nötig. Einkauf in 8 min oder 12 min sehr gut möglich. Es ist eine sehr ruhige Umgebung.

Heerlijk verblijf!

De villa is heel ruim en ook de tuin en de terrassen zijn zeer royaal.Het zag er allemaal heel schoon en goed onderhouden uit.Qua apparatuur was alles uitstekend. Wat we wel misten waren zaken als: vuilniszakken, voldoende keukenlinnen, vaatwasmiddel en tabletten en dat soort zaken.Je moet over een auto beschikken want je kunt de afstanden niet lopend afleggen.We waren met 8 volwassenen en hebben een heerlijke week gehad!
