Øvrig mad og drikke var for dyrt.

Un excellent séjour, malgré une piscine beaucoup trop chaude
Pros:

Notre séjour a été excellent. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié la bienveillance du personnel, toujours poli et souriant, ainsi que la grande qualité du mobilier et la décoration très réussie. L’emplacement est exceptionnel, avec une superbe vue sur la mer.

Nous avons passé un très agréable moment et avons été entièrement satisfaits de l’ensemble des prestations.

Merci à toute l’équipe pour ce merveilleux séjour.

Cons:

la piscine, dont l’eau était beaucoup trop chaude. Lorsqu’il fait très chaud, il serait vraiment souhaitable de pouvoir rafraîchir l’eau, car il n’est pas agréable de se baigner dans une piscine aussi chaude.

Soddisfacente.
Pros:

La gentilezza e la disponibilità di tutto il personale, la pulizia e i servizi.

Cons:

Al ristorante la bottiglia con acqua “microfiltrata” in loco e senza tappo monouso, sarebbe da evitare.
