Abbiamo trascorso un soggiorno molto piacevole. La camera era pulita, ordinata e confortevole. La proprietaria è stata estremamente gentile e premurosa, sempre disponibile per ogni nostra esigenza. Consigliamo vivamente questa struttura a chi cerca un'accoglienza calorosa e un ambiente curato.

Pros:

Ich habe ganz kurzfristig gebucht und ein wundervolles Zimmer (Suite upgrade) bekommen wegen eines anscheinenden Defekts meines gebuchten Zimmers. Wunderschönes und grosses Zimmer, bequemes Bett, tolle Sicht bis nach Italien. Hat alles gut geklappt mit dem Code und dem Schlüsselkasten

Cons:

Man hört gut die Strasse aber im 3. Stock bestimmt viel weniger als unten
