Magical Views - House in dreamlike location

Das Haus liegt hoch am Berg – alleine. Bei klarer Sicht haben Sie einen atemberaubenden Ausblick. Sie erleben friedliche Stille. Es kann aber ebenso passieren, dass Haus und Umgebung vom Nebel verschluckt werden, dass der Wind ums Haus heult und der Regen gegen die Fenster peitscht!!! Immer bietet sich Ihnen ein faszinierendes Naturschauspiel im Zusammenwirken von Meer und Wolken und den Elementen und in klaren Nächten ein von funkelnden Sternen übersäter Himmel - und noch echte Dunkelheit!
