La vue est incroyable, un bonheur d'aller nager dans la mer en quelques mn à pied sur la plage à côté. Les chambres sont sympas, avec plein de rangement et les lits sont confortables. La cuisine est très vieillotte, et la salle du bain du bas n'est pas agréable.

Photo trompeuse
Attention la photo de l'annonce avec la piscine ne correspond pas à la villa Fortezza mais à celle de la villa juste à côté
La vue depuis la villa Fortezza est plus limitée
Ceci dit la piscine et le jardins n'en sont pas moins très agréables
