Ante is a wonderful host. The stay was wonderful. The house is stunning!
Eine sehr schöne, große Villa. Wir haben uns mit 10 Erwachsenen und 4 Kleinkindern sehr wohl gefühlt. Jedes der Zimmer hat ein eigenes Badezimmer, was für Familien super ist. Die Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet mit allem was man braucht. Der Vermieter ist wahnsinnig freundlich. Er steht mit guten Tips und Fragen immer zur Verfügung. Der Außenbereich ist ebenfalls sehr schön und groß. Sehr gepflegt. Auf jeden Fall sehr empfehlenswert.
