C'è tanto da fare

Bellissima location, anche se le camere sono asettiche, non valgono il prezzo richiesto. Gli spazi comuni sono stupendi, la piscina molto bella, ma la colazione non è all'altezza (affettati scadenti e frutta poco fresca).

Posizione incantevole,struttura molto bella, soggiorno magnifico, mare spettacolare, personale molto disponibile e cordiale. Per colmare l'ultimo passo vs la perfezione (veramente per ospiti esigenti come me): piccolo stenditoio per i costumi bagnati, rafforzare il wifi e migliorare la colazione per renderla adeguata all'elevato standing della struttura.
