Wir haben uns sofort wohl gefühlt. Die Unterkunft hat alles, was zumindest wir im Alltag brauchen, somit konnte sich die Erholung quasi mit Einzug einstellen Der Kontakt mit dem Vermieter war immer offen und sehr freundlich. Für Ausflüge günstig gelegen, eine Einkaufsmöglichkeit (Rewe) in 3 Min mit dem Auto erreichbar. Sollten wir nochmal Urlaub in der Eifel machen, kommen wir sehr gerne wieder!!!

Vielen Dank für Ihre Bewertung! Es freut uns, dass Sie und Ihre Familie den Garten so genießen konnten. Herzliche Grüße, Tim
Leuk, goed onderhouden en verzorgd huis. Van alle gemakken voorzien. gunstig gelegen tov de dingen die wij wilden doen en zien. Voldoende aanbod qua uiteten in de buurt. Voor wie na ons komt: mijd de Griek!! Echt vreselijk!!Wat betreft de woning. Die is geschikt voor 6 personen. Wij vonden de badkamer daarvoor wel wat klein. Maar goed daar hoef je ook niet met zn zessen tegelijk in . Helaas vanwege het weer niet veel van de heerlijke tuin kunnen genieten. Communicatie met de verhuurder was zondermeer goed. Kon evt zelfs ook in het Engels. Maar met een beetje van onszelf en een beetje hulp van Chatgpt is het net zo leuk het gewoon in het Duits te doen.
