Soggiorno Signorile
Pros:

L’hotel è in pieno centro a Stellenbosch . Una bella città. Struttura elegante e ristrutturata in stile moderno.

Cons:

L’odore del cibo della cucina che entrava in camera. Ma soprattutto che non si potesse aumentare la temperatura indipendentemente. In agosto è inverno e fa freddo. Dover dipendere dal vallet per la gestione del parteggio dell’auto.
