Pros:

En general todo bastante bien, la habitación bonita pero tenía 4 escaleras para ir al baño, y está un poco peligroso para la noche, si pones una luz, abarca toda la estancia, porque está separado por unos barrotes. El desayuno muy rico. Davide en recepción, un chico muy agradable.

Cons:

No me pareció correcta la conducta de las señoras que organizaban el desayuno, parecía casi que molestábamos, y hacían uso del móvil poniendo vídeos en voz alta, cosa que me pareció de mala educación, por contra he de decir que estaba todo muy rico.

Bonita habitación
Pros:

La habitación en la cueva era preciosa con sus techos abovedados y muy limpia aunque un poco pequeña. El entorno es maravilloso. El chico de recepcion fue muy amable.

Cons:

El gran inconveniente del alojamiento es el acceso ya que no se puede llegar en coche y hay que dejarlo en un parking en la parte moderna. Desde el parking que nos aconsejaron al hotel había 800 mts y con las maletas a cuestas resulta muy incómodo y cansado ya que el pueblo es todo empedrado y con cuestas y escaleras.
Otra cosa que no nos gustó fue el trato en el desayuno de las dos trabajadoras que estaban mas pendientes de lo que estaban viendo en el móvil que de atender a los clientes. Cuando les pedías algo ponían mala cara y te traían el café a la a mesa con tan mala uva que la mitad estaba en el platillo en vez de en la taza. Estaban deseando que nos fuéramos.
