Everything was really great. The room, the staff, the restaurant and the position close to the city center. They also offer breakfast takeaway for who, like us, wanted to start an hike early in the morning. We didn’t find anything we would like to be improved.

I absolutely loved my stay at the villa. The space was generous and comfortable throughout, making it easy to relax and enjoy the surroundings. The outside area was a real highlight – beautifully designed with both sunny spots and shaded areas, perfect for any time of day. The pool was fantastic – clean, inviting, and a great place to cool off. Altogether, the combination of comfort, space, and outdoor living made for a truly enjoyable experience.
