Nous avons passé un moment incroyable au moulin de Schwingmuhle ! L'endroit est immense et le jardin était juste parfait pour que les enfants jouent, J'ai adoré m'asseoir sur la terrasse avec un verre de vin Moselle, profitant de la tranquillité de la nature, Les propriétaires étaient super gentils et nous ont fait sentir comme chez nous, Le seul inconvénient était le bruit de la route parfois, mais bon, c'est la nature, non ? Je reviendrais certainement !

Erholungsurlaub

Wir haben das zweite mal in Folge in Hanviller im Haus von Fam. Colling unseren Urlaub verbracht. Die Zeit war einfach wunderbar. Die Vermieter waren super nett und hilfsbereit (wir bekamen nicht nur einen Grill geliehen, sondern auch noch die Grillkohle oben drauf) und hätten uns immer an die Fam. Colling wenden können, falls wir noch etwas benötigten. Das Haus ist geräumig, sehr sauber und mit allem ausgestattet. was man im Urlaub so braucht. Es liegt direkt am Waldrand und ist für Haustiere ideal. Wir haben mit unserem kleinen Hund eine sehr schöne Zeit verbracht, an die wir uns gerne zurück erinnern. Wir werden immer im nächsten Jahr wieder dort buchen. Fam Preibisch, Speyer

Het verblijf was uitstekend bij de familie Colling. Wij werden gastvrij ontvangen met een fles wijn voor ons en zelfgemaakte appelsap voor de kinderen. Het huisje was voorzien van een meer dan complete inrichting. Tuinstoelkussens, zeer complete keukeninrichting compleet voorzien met kruiden, wasmiddel, vaatwastabletten en schoonmaakartikelen en middelen. De tafeltennistafel met veel toebehoor was erg geliefd bij onze tieners en de 9-jarige vond genoeg afleiding bij de schommel en trampoline. De eigenaren zijn erg vriendelijk en gastvrij. Je hoeft niet naar het toeristencentrum, zij hebben gezorgd dat voorzien van folders en brochures van de omgeving. Wij waren er in een tijd met hoge temperaturen maar de gite was heerlijk koel. Ondanks de la Horne die voorbij stroomt hadden we eeinig tot geen last van muggen. Let eel op bij aankomst, google maps laat een locatie zien midden in het dorp Hanviller terwijl de gite iets buiten het dorp ligt in de richting van Bitche. Een toplocatie waar de enige rust af en toe onderbroken wordt door voorbij rijdende fietsers en een startende wandelaar richting de Cascade. De kinderen genoten ook van de militairen die het bos in gestuurd werden, de gite grenst aan een militair oefenterrein waar je geen last van hebt. Een echte aanrader!!!
