Review for stay from 27 April 2024 to 05 May 2024
De ligging en omgeving zijn werkelijk prachtig. Buiten gedeelte met zwembad en tuin is zeer goed onderhouden. Er zijn verschillende zit hoekjes aanwezig met BBQ en schaduw. Het appartement is klein maar heeft alles wat je nodig hebt. Wij vonden de bedden wel heel erg hard. Beheerder ontzettend vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Appartement Garofano is rolstoelvriendelijk. Draai naar badkamer is krap maar goed te doen. Badkamer is ook goed toegankelijk met open douche en hoog toilet.
