Wir hatten eine wunderschöne Zeit in diesem Haus. Es liegt sehr idyllisch, ist stilvoll eingerichtet, es ist alles da, was man braucht. Der Platz am See ist ebenfalls wunderschön, man ist ganz für sich und kann die Ruhe genießen. Wir können dieses Haus ohne Vorbehalte weiterempfehlen.

Sehr freundliche und hilfreiche Gastgeber. Das historische Haus ist etwas besonderes und es ist großartig, dass es so gut gepflegt und erhalten wird. Daneben erfüllt es alle Ansprüche an eine moderne Ausstattung.
