Beautiful centrally located holiday flat

The holiday flat is friendly and completely furnished. The four of us (two adults, two children) stayed there for over a week and felt very comfortable. We partly catered for ourselves (cooked), but also visited nearby restaurants. Many things are within walking distance of the holiday flat, such as the swimming pool, the spa park or the mini golf course. The contact with the landlords was also very nice and we can recommend the holiday flat without reservation.
