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.

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.
