Belle grande villa relaxante près de la nature
Très belle grande villa avec multiples salles de bain et cuisine très complète avec des petites attentions pour nos déjeuners. Les grands jardins en fleurs et la grande terrasse et balcons invitent à la détente. Très calme. Stationnement sur la propriété très pratique. Hôte proactive. Nous aurions aimé y rester plus longtemps.

Un séjour inoubliable
Cet emplacement est magnifique. Nous avons séjourné 13 nuits en famille et avec des amis et avons adoré la villa. Nous avons découvert des plages extraordinaires, des restos excellents et des gens formidables. Les plages sont à proximité (besoin d’une voiture). Nous avons aussi profité de l’emplacement pour se faire de très bons soupers. Ce fut une expérience très emballante. Merci encore ! Je recommande fortement

Friendly
It wasn’t quite new but very acceptable.
Rooms were big enough. Shower downstairs a little bit small.
Space around the villa was perfect.
Pity there was no pool.
We all enjoyed our stay in the villa.
Perfect assistance of the owner and the house keeper. Very friendly and easy towards clients.

wunderbar
Sehr schönes und gepflegtes Objekt. Kurzer Weg zum Strand, an dem wir zu dieser Jahreszeit praktisch alleine waren. Etwas Fluglärm (Einflugschneise), der aber nicht sehr laut und deshalb auch nicht störend ist. Ansonsten sehr ruhige Lage. Besonders gut: Sehr viele Sitz- und Liegemöglichkeiten rund ums Haus, immer wahlweise Sonne oder Schatten. Ausstattung der Küche könnte etwas besser sein (Besteck, Weingläser).
