Very generous and spacious parking with a gorgeous hidden garden path that leads you to your cabin. All furnishings, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom feels extremely modern and brand new. This accommodation is truly immaculate. Just wait till you experience their rain water shower head.. This stay was solo, during the MotoGP 24 weekend. Literally a 2min drive to the circuit each day. Absolute perfection. Thank you for having me! Adam. ##### Adam B.
