A wonderful house in the middle of paradise 23/Jan/2010 This is a wonderful house in the middle of paradise.Inside the house is everything you need, to keep a good holiday. Everything in the house are new and modern and all are functioning optimally. The house is all so clean and nice, so fragrant and charming - to the smallest detail.Just outside the house is the most beautiful nature you can imagine. Just to sit outside on the bench, eating your lunch, is an experience. Here is completely quiet. You are in the middle of the most amazing nature as soon as you step outside the door.There are hiking trails near the house where you can go for walks and see how different nature is. Beautiful mountains, lots of interesting plants, trees and schrubs and citrus-plantations. Everything so fragrant and wonderful that we one day have to return. This lovely nature, the delicate and wonderful house - and the nice and helpful people we rented the house from.E. Rasmussen & I. Lauridsen, Denmark
