Reviews
Linda van Bijlevelt from Amsterdam,
Het huis was een uitstekende vertrekplaats voor sport activiteiten in de bergen. Het uitzicht vanaf het huis was adembenemend. Daar los van was het huis schoon, comfortabel (bedden waren top) en mooi ingericht! Het zwembad was heerlijk vertoeven en in het bijgebouw konden we ook nog rustig wat aan yoga of pilates doen. We hebben het heel erg goed gehad! Daarnaast zijn Liz en Dominique heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Heel erg bedankt!!!
