Leider enttäuscht

Haus sehr alt und nur notbedürftig repariert. Küchen und Ausgetauscht alt und gebraucht. Untere Wohnung richt nach Schimmel. Nur ein Handtuch für duschen und waschen. Kein Tuch für die Füße. Handtuch fuselt stark. Keine Microwelke. Positiv war nur Wohnbereich, schön und rustikal.

Vallée de Joux

Propriétaire très attentionnée et soucieuse du bien-être de ses locataires. Maison bien située pour découvrir la région : la gare est proche et bien desservie. Belles randonnées dans la région (Dent de Vaulion, Mont Tendre, cascade du Dard près de Romainmôtier), visites (magnifiques grottes de Vallorbe, Espace horloger au Sentier) et bien sûr, baignades dans le très beau Lac de Joux.
Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024
