È stata una bella esperienza. La struttura, con parcheggio interno molto ampio, si trova in un punto strategico per chi vuole visitare le spiagge lungo la costa. Nelle vicinanze si trova una piccola spiaggia e la stazione dei treni. ed è dotata di una piscina. La camera era molto pulita ed accessoriata di condizionatore, frigorifero e asciugacapelli. C'è un bel clima accogliente e familiare. La mezza pensione consiste nella colazione dolce e una cena al ristorante della struttura con scelta a la carta di quel che si preferisce tra mare, monti e pizzeria, tutto sempre fresco e abbondante. Sono specializzati nella cucina di pesce. Lo consiglierei sia a famiglie con bambini che a coppie.

Vacanza relax

Residence tranquillo fornito di una bella piscina e un di un ottimo ristorante. Giacomo, il titolare, è una persona squisita e molto disponibile. La struttura è vicina a delle bellissime spiaggie. Il soggiorno è sicuramente consigliabile se si cerca tranquillia' e se si è in possesso di un mezzo di trasporto.

Sono stato qui' con la mia famiglia al "Cera una volta" per 10 giorni e ci siamo trovati benissimo tanto da fernarci un giorno in più del previsto. Innanzitutto il complesso è vicino al mare (bellissimo) e qui' sono offerti ai clienti sdraio ed ombrelloni. Se non si vuole andare a mare il residence è dotato di piscina (tenuta benissimo) dove il mio bimbo di 2 anni si è divertito molto. Una delle cose che piu ci è piaciuta di questo posto è la qualita del cibo del ristorante/pizzeria dove vengono usati ingredienti freschissimi, prodotti direttamente dal propietario. Detto questo, ciò che ci spingerà sicuramente a ritornare è stato trattamento riservatoci dal propietario il quale è stato molto attenzioso e veramente gentile come tutto il resto del personale. Grazie mille a voi!
