"Struttura dir recente costruzione nel complesso gradevole, posizione ottima, non merita 5 stelle.. necessiterebbe di un maggiore manutenzione, comincia a denunciare segni di usura dovuti sia alla posizione vicino al mare che all’uso vero e proprio. La stanza assegnata al piano terra / interrato non è la miglior scelta , forte odore di umidità e scarsa ventilazione , abbiamo avuto qualche problema con le dotazioni della stanza, risolti non proprio rapidamente. Per il resto soggiorno...
