The house itself is very pleasant, especially the living room is very cozy (see photos). From the balcony, you have a beautiful view of the lake. However, the immediate surroundings in the village are not quite as beautiful. Many houses are empty, and some are just ruins, or you can see tin roofs and a construction site. We didn't use the outdoor seating area. It's actually the garage roof, and you're a bit of a "showpiece" there. The area itself is, of course, fantastic!
