Pros:

Prachtig en rustig gelegen in een parkje. Mooi zwembad en perfect ontbijt. Prive parkeren top. E bikes mochten binnen staan. Airco uitstekend.

Cons:

Balkon beetje gemist. Afstand naar Lucca toch net iets ver. Zeker als je de auto niet wilt gebruiken omdat je de e bikes hebt.

Un endroit exceptionnel dont on ne veut pas partir

Endroit exceptionnel avec un magnifique parc et très calme et une très belle piscine. Les chambres sont très belles et le petit déjeuner particulièrement bon.

L'isolation des chambres est à améliorer, on entend beaucoup les voisins.

pessimo in tutto
Pros:

la bellezza storica della villa, stop

Cons:

prezzo eccessivo, struttura datata e per niente rinnovata, arredi vecchi al limite.
La cosa sgradevole è stato lo staff in particolar modo la donna al bar che ci ha servito l'aperitivo, scocciata dalla nostra presenza e per niente professionale.
Puzza della moquette, sconsiglio vivamente, colazione misera

Pros:

La colazione molto normale, buona ma non curata , tovagliato un po’ trasandato

Cons:

Il freddo in camera, albergo non ordinato, con cuscini sui sofà mai gonfi e messi in ordine, polvere sul banco alla reception… bellissima struttura però parecchio trascurata.
Bello invece il bagno della mia camere
