Maison parfaite
Maison situé en centre ville (d'une très petite ville) d'accès très facile et simple. Nous avions loué l'appartement le plus grand (sur la photo de nuit celui qui est éclairé sur toute la façade). Raquel et Jao ont été particulièrement attentionnés. Nous avons passé grâce à eux un excellent séjour.
