      Rewelacja 😀
      Było wspaniale. Dzieci nie chciały jeździć na żadne wycieczki, bo najbardziej podobało im się na plaży blisko apartamentu, albo w basenie 😁 Nawet Makarska i Baśka Woda nie zrobiły na nich wrażenia i po 2 godzinach chciały wracać „ do nas” ☺️ W pobliżu dzikie plaże, gdzie można znaleźć wieczorem miejsce i czas dla siebie. Apartament czyściutki, dobrze wyposażony. Właściciele mili i pomocni. Cóż więcej chcieć ? Dla nas najlepsze wakacje dotychczas. Serdecznie polecamy 👏👍👏

      Die Inhaber sind super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Kommen den Urlaubern sehr entgegen und sind immer engagiert dass die Anlage sauber ist. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Meer ist super, der Pool ist ebenfalls top. Es gibt eine nette Stadt ein paar Kilometer weiter. Im Ort selber gibt es auch Restaurants. Es gibt tolle Erlebnismöglichkeiten. Können wir nur weiter empfehlen.
