A wonderful welcome. A very nice house that was already nicely preheated. We enjoyed the surroundings and all the typical customs in this lovely country. A region so peaceful and beautiful in terms of nature. The friendliness of the landlords is a real plus. The interior of the house and kitchen were so nice. The stove always kept the house warm. It was cosy here!
