Es ist ein sehr schönes Haus an einer fantastischen Lage! Die Aussicht ist wirklich ein magic view. Wir waren Ende Dezember für 4 Tage dort und es ist sehr zu empfehlen, sich telefonisch zu vergewissern, dass die Heizung wirklich eingeschaltet und Holz für den Kamin vorhanden ist... Ansonsten war alles tiptop!

Erholsame Woche in Morcote
Haus war wie gemäss Inserat. Sauberkeit okay. Im kleinen Badezimmer roch es immer etwas eigenartig (Duschenabfluss?) war aber nicht schlimm. Trotz Hitze war es im Haus immer angenehm kühl. Die Lage ist fantastisch! Sehr ruhig. Der Pool war unseren Kindern etwas zu klein, deshalb sind wir viel an den öffentlichen Strand in Morcote gefahren. Würde dieses Ferienhaus wieder buchen!

J espérais beaucoup; mais a part la vue l endroit n est pas à la hauteur
Bonjour Je vous ferai part des photos prises mais voici les problématiques rencontres - à notre arrivée le samedi 30.07 a 16h le ménage n était pas fait la maison sentait pas bon à l intérieur il y avait encore les poubelles et le linge sales des précédents - durant tout notre séjour des odeurs d égout émanaient des salles de bain - les canapés aux salon sont sales - l extérieur n est absolument pas entretenu et malgré la confirmation lors de mon téléphonique ne le 30.07 personne n est passé - les lumaires extérieurs ne fonctionne pas tous Voilà je vous transmettrai les photos prises ultérieurement, je ne suis pas du genre à tout publier sur internet mais la maison en l état ne vaut absolument pas le prix payé dommage dans un si magnifique village. Je voyage régulièrement et en tant que Suisse ça ne fait mal de voir cela dans notre pays Merci de m indiquer à quelle adresse e-mail je peux vous transmettre les photo prises Cordialement
