"This apartment had the most surreal views! It was lovely and clean and comfortable as well. It’s a shared space but you have your own room and bathroom and the other guests were nice and didn’t disturb us at all. But the reason we rate this place so highly is because of the incredible host, Ludgero. We got in an unfortunate accident on our first day (please drive carefully on the roads) and our host offered to pick us up from the hospital and checked in with us the next day. We were overwhelmed...

"Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans cet établissement. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié tous les efforts déployés pour le sans gluten. Il y a des indications concernant les allergènes pour tous les plats, en plus d’avoir une section pour le sans gluten. Le personnel de l’hôtel est très poli et serviable."
