PARADISE♥
We were allowed to spend two beautiful weeks with Sandra.
We lacked nothing.
The villa is super equipped, and if anything was missing, Sandra was immediately there for us.
You can do so much from there.
The hinterland of Dalmatia is worth a trip.
As always, a vacation goes by too quickly, but we will see each other again.

It was a beautiful and unforgettable vacation!
It is a beautiful, clean house with everything you need and could wish for. The landlords are incredibly kind, accommodating, and were always there when we needed something. The pool and the surroundings are fantastic. We especially fell in love with the dogs. Azra was a loyal companion and took good care of us. The little dog, for whom we even got to choose the name Peppy, is just so cuddly and lovable. We received fresh eggs, potatoes, onions, tomatoes, and peppers from the garden, as well as delicious homemade specialties. We also enjoyed feeding the turtles, the donkey, the goat, and the chickens. It was a beautiful and unforgettable vacation for which we thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Answer from Mrs. S. Karoglan:
Tino und Melanie, ich danke euch von ganzem Herzen für die schöne Bewertung.
