Fijne plek aan het water

Het chalet is vergelijkbaar met een grote stacaravan, met veel lichtinval. Bij aankomst waren de bedden opgemaakt en zag het geheel er extreem schoon uit. De charme zit hem verder vooral in het gezellige tuintje aan het water met een vrij uitzicht en zonder inkijk van buren!Het staat op een wat rommelig park met allemaal vergelijkbare "panden" en zonder centrale voorzieningen, dus echt een verblijfslocatie, niet echt geschikt voor kinderen dus.Je ligt redelijk ver van de "bewoonde wereld" dus een auto en/of fiets is wel nodig. Het is een mooie uitvalsbasis voor fietstochten of een boottochtje over de Vinkeveense Plassen.Een perfecte plaats voor twee personen, vier zou kunnen maar dat vereist wel wat creativiteit met name bij het kokkerellen. Het verblijf is gebaseerd op "contactloos" en dat loopt goed. Als je de beheerder nodig hebt kan dat op een gemoedelijke wijze.Het is niet goedkoop, maar of het duur is?Wij voelden er ons al snel thuis!

Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis passt nicht

Umgebung ist sehr schön. Die Lage des Objektes ebenfalls. Man kann toll Fahrrad fahren. Die Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter war gut. Der wirklich hohe Preis ist allerdings unseres Erachtens nicht gerechtfertigt. Der Bungalow ist klein (für zwei Erwachsene + zwei Teenager zu klein). Die Küche könnte besser ausgestattet sein (nur zwei Kochfelder, wenig Kochgeschirr). Kein Fernsehprogramm (bei schlechtem Wetter wäre das ganz gut). Es war sehr fußkalt (der Bungalow ist nicht isoliert). Die Terrassenmöbel sind abgewohnt und die Polster dreckig. So war es ok, aber der Preis ist einfach zu hoch. Wir würden es für den Preis nicht weiterempfehlen oder nochmal buchen.

Vielen Dank, dass Sie sich die Mühe gemacht haben, uns eine Bewertung zu hinterlassen. Im Juli und August sind die Preise für die Sommerferien etwas höher. Was für ein Pech hatten Sie, mitten im Sommer bei uns zu bleiben, eine ganze Woche im Regen und nicht mit den höchsten Temperaturen. Da unser riesiger Garten/Terrasse mit direktem Zugang zum Wasser in dieser Zeit normalerweise dazu genutzt wird, das Leben im Freien zu genießen, bleiben die Leute nur zum Schlafen drinnen. Es ist das erste Mal, dass wir uns über den kalten Boden beschweren, da der Boden und das Dach tatsächlich isoliert sind. Für die Küche, vielen Dank für den Input, wir werden noch etwas extra zusätzliche Pfannen besorgen. Was den Fernseher betrifft, waren wir etwas überrascht, als wir Ihnen zeigten, wie der Fernseher funktioniert? und es gibt auch einen Chromecast zum Streamen. Und wir werden die Gartenkissen noch einmal waschen. Wir machen das immer zu Beginn der Saison, aber da das Chalet im Sommer ausgebucht ist, sind sie sehr stark ausgelastet. Nochmals vielen Dank für Ihren Beitrag, wir sind stets auf der Suche nach Verbesserungen.

Ferienhaus in schöner Lage

Das Haus ist per PKW gut erreichbar und sehr schön gelegen. Dank einem Tipp des sehr freundlichen Vermieters fuhren wir per Bahn von Abcoude nach Amsterdam Centraal.

Cadre très agréable, à proximité des transports pour se rendre à Amsterdam, adresse à conserver

Gîte très confortable, aménagé avec goût, belle terrasse, la baignade au bout du jardin est elle aussi très agréable. Je vous recommandé cette location. Les propriétaires sont très discrets et très disponibles.

Ruhe und Gelegenheit zum Schwimmen

Wer gerne morgens schwimmt, ist hier gut aufgehoben, da es einen Zugang zum Wasser gibt. Es ist insgesamt entspannend ruhig, mir hat der Anblick der blühenden Hortensien auf dem Grundstück von der Wohnzimmercouch aus besonders gefallen. Gut geschlafen haben wir alle. Die nahe Anbindung an die Autobahn war für unsere Ausflüge nach Amsterdam sehr angenehm. Es ist in dem Gebiet, in dem das Chalet liegt, jedoch vorteilhaft, ein nicht allzu großes Auto zu fahren.
