Bon rapport qualité-prix pour ce logement dans lequel nous avons séjourné à 5 pour une durée d'une semaine. Bon emplacement (10 minutes à pieds du centre ville & proche d'un petit supermarché), grande salle de bain et grand espace à vivre. Terrasse sympathique également qui donne sur la piscine (grande et agréable). L'équipe de Fabrizio a été très réactive à nos messages et nos requêtes ! Je recommande.
