Alles, ich komme immer wieder sehr gerne hin! Es ist eine kleine Perle und ich wünsche mir dass es so bleibt! Danke für alles, es war wie immer ein Erlebnis! Liebe Grüsse. An den Koch der uns den Garten gezeigt hat - ihr habt da was ganz besonderes!

Ich hätte mir eine Klimaanlage gewünscht. Es war ein Superhelden Sommer und wir konnten nicht gut schlafen weil das Zimmer so heiss war.

Beautiful location and wonderful breakfast

9.0

Perfect to unwind and relax, beautiful location, beautiful building. Restaurant is very nice and the breakfast is marvelous.

There was an improvised A/C, it works but they could invest in a proper one. No pool or easy to access lake spot, so not much swimming in summer.
