Da non ripetere.
Pros:

Posizione della struttura molto vicino all’isola di Ortigia.

Cons:

Piu’ che un hotel lo definirei un B&B per il fatto che dalle 19:00 la reception chiude e poi bisogna entrare ed uscire con le chiavi. Colazione da evitare assortimento scarso cornetti surgelati cotti male,da un lato bruciati e dall’altro lato crudi. Siamo arrivati alle 14:00 e ci hanno consegnato la camera alle 15:30.

Accueil par Valentina formidable ! Merci à elle pour son professionnalisme et son écoute. Par rapport à la piscine, les
Pros:

Valentina nous a accueilli avec beaucoup de gentillesse et de professionnalisme.
La piscine

Cons:

Il y a des règles pour la piscine qui ne s’appliquent pas apparemment à tout le monde notamment aux enfants du propriétaire d’après la maître nageuse et la serveuse qui étaient présents ce jour là .
Mon petit fils ainsi que d’autres enfants se faisaient reprendre constamment, alors que les 3 enfants cités plus haut sautaient constamment dans la piscine, faisaient des saltos sans que personne ne dit rien.
Les 2 personnes qui surveillaient la piscine ont été odieuses lorsque nous leurs avons demandé pourquoi il y avait une différence.
Le lendemain matin au petit déjeuner, une des serveuses était justement une des 2 personnes qui surveillait la piscine, elle a été très hautaine et non professionnel en passant devant nous plusieurs fois sans débarrasser quoi que ce soit!!
