One of the most stunning places we've ever stayed at. The staff is very welcoming and helpful, with a lot of great attention to detail (welcome drink, chocolate and fruits in the room, breakfast wishes). The room was spacious, modern and very beautiful, with a terrace overlooking the landscape. Can highly recommend THEBLOEM.

Das Angebot ist wirklich empfehlenswert. Es ist seinen Preis wirklich wert. Ich kann also nur raten, dorthin zu fahren und einige Nächte zu bleiben. Der Rest es nun wirklich BlindText. Ich wusste nicht, dass man einen Roman schreiben muss, sonst hätte ich darauf verzichtet eine Bewertung abzugeben. Das Angebot aber ist wirklich gut. Unbedingte Empfehlung.
