This was the perfect place. Everyone had a clean and comfortable place to sleep, there was a large table and well-equipped kitchen to gather for meals, cards and conversation. People could chill in two different comfortable lounges or catch up over a game of pool. The location was good and Salvatorre made the whole process easy. ##### Susanne L.
