Villa Flor
4.0 star property
9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (2)
"Fantastisk udsigt! Sød indehaver og søde katte! Sengene af varierende kvalitet. Ved længerevarende ophold kommer man til at savne mulighed for at støvsuge og gøre lidt rent. Udenomsareal og havemøbler meget ufærdigt og spartansk. Meget venlig og serviceminded personale, som man kan kontakte døgnet rundt. Meget stejlt i bjergene, så taxa eller lejebil er et must. Vi nød at kunne være private, men man skal være indstillet på at indehaveren bor i underetagen. Udgang til altan/terrasse fra alle rum...
