Haus war sehr schön. Gastgeber freundlich und gab hilfreiche Tipps. Sehr ruhige Gegend, man brauch ein bisschen um wo hin zu kommen sonst alles sehr gut.
Très bon séjour. Les propriétaires sont disponibles réactifs et de bon conseils. La communication est très facile et le contact très agréable. La villa est très belle, impeccable et propice à de bons moments. Je recommande vivement ce logement et ces propriétaires.
Tolle Villa mit super Ausstattung! Ich hatte nicht erwartet, dass so viel vor Ort vorhanden ist (Spülmittel, Schwamm, Tabs, Gewürze, Waschmittel, Mückenspirale, genug Toilettenpapier, Bügeleisen, Bügelbrett, etc). Ich hätte sogar einen Kuchen backen können, weil sogar Kuchenform und Küchenwaage vorhanden war. Alle Zimmer, bis auf das kleine Einzelzimmer (kleiner Abstrich hier), waren mit Klimaanlage ausgestattet. Als wir an einem Abend Probleme mit der Klimaanlage hatten, weil wir alles verstellt hatten, wurde uns am nächsten Morgen umgehend geholfen. Auch als wir einem Fischmarkt gefragt haben, haben wir umgehend zwei Empfehlungen erhalten. Die Kommunikation und die Übergabe war reibungslos. Die Villa ist abgelegen und der nächste kleine Supermarkt ist 15 Minuten Fußweg entfernt. Es war ein äußerst angenehmer Aufenthalt und ich kann die Villa Vira mit gutem Gewissen empfehlen. Danke Villsy! 5 Sterne ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
