Alle Töpfchen bedient. Raum für individuelle Interessen,die in Eigenregie erfüllt werden konnten. Optimales Equipment und die Sicherheit, dass Technik und Grundorganisation von Rückenwind gewährleistet sind. Sonderwünsche wurden flexibel erfüllt. Die Tage haben wir in vollen Zügen genießen können. Einziger Wehrmutstropfen: Der Name verpflichtet nicht! Wir hatten nur Gegenwind.

Schön das Sie einen erholsamen Urlaub hatten und vielen Dank für die Bewertung. An der Windrichtung haben wir tatsächlich nur wenig Einfluss - aber toll, dass es Ihnen gefallen hat.
