Staying at Casa Bader was a wonderful experience. We have never stayed in a more beautiful village and Casa Bader is perfectly located to take advantage of all of the beautiful views. We loved all of the balconies and spent the majority of our time on the various decks. The beds were very comfortable. The home is clean and very beautiful. Parking was easy and we were able to walk everywhere. We loved everything about our stay.

Insgesamt sehr schön. Eine tolle Wohnung in toller Lage, insbesondere die Dachterrasse ist einfach traumhaft.Es gibt nur ein paar Kritikpunkte:1. Der Preis wurde in Euros angegeben, stattdessen handelte es sich um die zu zahlenden Franken. Dadurch war unser Aufenthalt ca. 170 teurer als sie beworben wurde.2. Die Innenausstattung ist teils sehr in die Jahre gekommenen, insbesondere die Stühle waren stark abgenutzt.3. Nach ein paar Tagen funktionierte das W-Lan nicht mehr. Die Tipps zur Behebung des Schadens brachten keine Verbesserung.
