Taco
One of the best we had so far. In spite of the bad weather we had a very good time. The only thing was that the furniture in the living room wasnât very logical placed and we werenât allowed to move it. Furthermore a wonderful house with loads of comfort and space. Everything you could think of or needed was there.
