Auto-translated to English by AIA pleasant and safe neighbourhood! Every time we've been on holiday, we look forward to coming back to our little neighbourhood! We're never leaving here! The only point for improvement is the schools in the area; primary schools are fine, but secondary school quality is mediocre... Family coming from further away can easily get here via easy roads and it's very easy to find! It's lovely to walk or run here through the beautiful nature and walking routes.
