Appartamento in Bickenbach

In the shadow of the Melibokus, just a stone’s throw from Frankenstein castle… A retreat with hardly an equal. Dreamy garden with swimming pond, peacocks, and more nature yet. Far from the everyday stress, this vacation apartment offers just about anything the vacationer could wish for. No matter if visitor passing through for a night or vacationer staying longer… the quarters are great and highly recommended. Just don’t let the less-clean look of the parking square out front throw you; paradise starts behind the bamboo forests.

We thought we had booked a 2 bedroom apartment, but the second room only had a sofa/bed in it. The photos were the same for another actual 2 bed apartment.↵↵The owners were friendly and helpful except that the heating mysteriously stopped working on both the Saturday mornings we were there. We also had no hot water on those mornings. For the first Saturday, the explanation was that the gas bottle must have run out. On the second Saturday, the owner disappeared into a shed and drove off shortly afterwards without explanation.↵↵The property was comfortably furnished and the beds were good but there were certain disadvantages. The photos on the website were not of the property but of the 2 bedroomed property which was also to let. There is no form of oven and a not very powerful electric hob. There is no door between the bedroom and the bathroom area. Also, you approach the property via a large car park belonging to the local guesthouse. There are skip loads of rubbish near the way down to the property. This is nothing to do with the owners but the place would be much nicer without it. ↵The property is near the owners' stylish home but not overlooked. There is a good sized garden which leads out into almost endless woods with lots of lovely walks. We had 2 dogs and this was as convenient as it was lovely. It was very quiet at the property which was a bonus. They were particularly nice about the dogs, especially as they have a number of peacocks which strut about.
