🚗 Access to the Property

A vehicle is absolutely necessary to reach the property and get around, as we are located outside the city centre and on a hill.

After the main road, you’ll need to drive approximately 800 metres on an unpaved uphill road through the woods to reach the property gate.
• The road isn’t difficult, but it does have some potholes.
• Please drive slowly and carefully.

Upon arrival, you will receive a remote control for the gate, so you can access the property on your own.

🚙 Parking: A private parking space is available directly in front of the apartment.
