Stort familjehus
Välutrustat hus med trädgård, pool och uteplatser. Lugnt och säkert område, dock ligger det längre från centrum än vad annonsen visar.

Xmas in the sun
Lovely property in a great location, couple of minor points - the pool was cold and we couldn’t see how to ‘heat it’ and it needed a clean. Otherwise a great holiday

Excellent!
We had an awesome holiday this past December in this beautiful and homely house! Betty was a superb host always replying promptly to any enquiries before our arrival. Betty also very kindly and thoughtfully provided a gorgeous Christmas Tree and decorations to add to the ambiance of the house and the festive time of year! The house lacked nothing prospective holiday makers would want and it felt like someones home rather than a holiday let! The garden was beautifully kept, with wonderful quite corners to read and enjoy the mountain view. The house itself was well located, homely, clean and very spacious. The only recommendation I would make is to perhaps provide some bicycles to explore the local area and perhaps a few pool floats which would be a treat for families who may have travelled from abroad but other than that ,spectacular and we certainly hope to return!! Thank you Betty!!

We spent 10 nights in a wonderful and very well euipped and decorated house with a lot of space inside and outside. The kitchen have all machines that you need. The diningroom, TV-room and sittingroom were very well furnished and the bedrooms had very nice beds. A heated pool and comfortable sunbeds in a lovely garden. We recommend this house and the owner is easy to speak/mail to.
