Oven missing a handle to open, dishwasher missing the nob to turn on, and clothes dryer heating element was broken and not functional.. poorly maintained appliances so not quite sure what is going on here at $350 a night.. (challet 7 for reference... so avoid!). Other than that, view, location and room was lovely for a couple of days. Worked well for our family.

The room is very big. I booked a book. The villa room is very big and comfortable. When we go out together, we can see the sea and the large grassland. nzl has many options for holidaying in the suburbs. In addition, the restaurant dinners are all very appetizing to me👍🏻
