Posizione comoda per qualsiasi spostamento! Ma soprattutto la gentilezza e disponibilità dei proprietari (il nostro volo all’andata ha avuto un ritardo di 2 ore facendoci arrivare a mezzanotte a casa, mentre il giorno della partenza avevamo il traghetto per Zante alle 18 e la proprietaria ci ha lasciato usare la casa fino all’ultimo)!Un grazie speciale alla signora Alexandra! ##### ilenia p.
