Verified by partnerIm Haus St. Josef war es angenehm und ruhig. Die Urlaubszeit auf der Insel war schön, hat mir gut getan , wenn das Wetter auch durchwachsen war in dieser Jahreszeit. Auf der Insel haben sich alle an die Corona-Maß-nahmen gehalten, das fand ich sehr toll. - Für mich war es eine schöne Überraschung, dass in diesem Jahr täglich ein hl. Messe gefeiert wurde. .Auch in der ev. Kirche (am neuen Leuchtturm) konnte ich gut zur Ruhe kommen. Nochmals danke für die Zeit in St. Josef.

wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt, die Ausstattung der Küche hat Mängel, Kartoffelschäler und Schere sind Stumpf, es fehlt ein Suppenlöffel.
Die Lage der Wohnung ist ideal und immer eine Empfehlung wert.
Wir kommen wieder.

Eine schöne Wohung! (im Obergeschoss des Hauses befindet sich noch ein toller Meditationsraum).

In general it is impossible to exceed the maximum number of guests. Not even if you organise more sleeping facilities by yourself. Children, regardless of age, are considered as a guest. The indicated rental price is only valid for the maximum possible number of guests.
Some properties offer special rates for children. You can recognize those accommodations, if you are asked about the amount and the age of the travelling children in the price calculation. If this is not the case, the stated prices apply to all guests (regardless of age).
You can see the location of your accommodation on a map in the "Location" section on this page. Right below this map, you will find distances to interesting places e.g. city center, beach, ski lift or the next shopping possibility. Furthermore, an individual text written by the landlord gives you more information about your holiday destination.
You find the information about the floor right below the pictures of the accommodation at the top of this page.
Whether you can bring your pets or not, please read the information in the "Features" section on this page. In general, the term "Pets not allowed" means that it is not permitted to bring any kind of pets at all.
You find the check-in and check-out times under "General Information" in the "Property description" section on this page, if the landlord has entered these information. Deviations from this regulation can be discussed individually. If your arrival/departure has to be very early/late, we will gladly clarify this with the landlord, if the accommodation is only bookable online. If you chose a property with Enquiry Booking, please contact the landlord directly about this issue.
The key handover and return has to be clarified directly with the landlord. Please see question no. 18 to learn more about how and when you can contact your landlord.
There may be various reasons for this:
Your travel period undercuts the given minimum stay.
Your desired date of arrival/departure is impossible according to the landlord's settings.
A gap in the calendar is impossible to rent, if it undercuts the minimum stay, e.g. A gap of three nights is not bookable, if the given minimum stay is five nights.
You cannot book an accommodation, if your desired travel period causes a gap which is lower than the minimum stay.
Your requested arrival date is too short-term.
Since some of our accommodations are from cooperation partners, it is possible that the given data may not be up-to-date. In this case your desired travel period may be no longer available in the price calculation.
In this case your desired travel period is not bookable. You can extend your stay, if this is an option for you or you search for another accommodation with an appropriate minimum stay.
If you chose a property with Enquiry Booking, please contact the landlord via phone or the contact form on this page. If no exception can be made, the minimum stay for this accommodation has to be respected.
