Mangelhafte Wohnung an schöner Lage
Die Wohnung ist sehr schön und für unsere Pläne ideal gelegen. Die Wohnung selber ist vom Zustand und von der Sauberkeit her in einem insgesamt mangelhaften Zustand. Weitervermietung erst nach erfolgter Instandsetzung und Grundreinigung empfohlen.

schön gross, aber nicht schön
Die Wohnungsgrösse ist angenehm, es ist soweit alles da. Sie ist einfach nicht schön oder gemütlich. Für unsere Familie war es schön, den grossen Spielplatz in Sichtweite zu haben.

Ti senti a casa, ma sei in vacanza!!!
Siamo stati in vacanza una settimana per visitare la Valle Leventina e siamo stati così bene che ci saremmo fermati ancora! Noi viaggiamo tanto, anche tramite Interhome, ma un appartamento così fornito non l'avevamo mai trovato, non manca davvero nulla, sembra di essere a casa. I proprietari sono così discreti, cortesi, disponibili e cordiali che sembra di essere ospitati da amici. Dopo questa esperienza, torneremo sicuramente e consigliamo l'alloggio a tutti: amici, conoscenti, parenti e turisti!
