Sehr schöne Unterkunft

Benita hat uns sehr freundlich empfangen und uns geholfen, die Koffern die Treppe hochzutragen. Danach hat sie für uns eine Reservation für‘s Abendessen gemacht. Sie ist eine sehr herzliche und engagierte Gastgeberin. Das Zimmer ist schön gross und hat eine wunderbare Aussicht auf die umliegenden (Reb-)Berge. Leckeres FS gab es auch. Wir waren nur eine Nacht dort aber wir kommen gerne wieder.
