Cher pour ce que c’est
Pros:

La piscine
Petit déjeuné simple mais produits de qualité

Cons:

Pour le prix, ne pas avoir de clim est problématique. Avec notre bébé impossible d’ouvrir les fenêtres car trop de lumières à l’extérieur ainsi que des moustiques. Il faisait presque 28° dans la chambre. Nous avions une chambre sans balcon et qui donnait sur le parking.. ce n’est pas précisé et au moment de la réservation il ya uniquement des photos de chambres avec une belle vue sur un balcon donnant sur les montagnes et le lac…
