Recomendado!

Preciosa casa, sector bueno, desayuno muy rico y variable cada día. Decoración de la habitación linda y baño cómodo. Limpieza diaria muy buena

Cons:

Si dejas tu equipaje en custodia el día de check out, tienes que recogerlo antes de las 3 PM, lo cual te limita mucho para realizar actividades ese día
