Pokój bardzo czysty. Kontakt super. Na pewno skorzystamy jeszcze raz.

Klimatyzator głośny i co kilka minut burczał. Na pewno przydałaby się wymiana na nowszy model.

Evitatelo, altrimenti sperate sia il vostro giorno fortunato.
Pros:

Il parcheggio.

Cons:

Aria condizionata rotta, letto (grande) affossato e cigolante, cattivo odore degli asciugamani, ma soprattutto host per niente disponibile a risolvere problematiche importanti.

Top Lage, einfache Anfahrt. Unkompliziert. Für uns optimal, da wir auf der Durchreise waren und 1 Übernachtung brauchten.

Ein Kühlschrank im Zimmer wäre hilfreich gewesen.
