El personal fue muy amable. Las camas eran cómodas. Habia una gran cristalera con cortinas para que no entrara la luz del exterior.

Besseres Zimmer bekommen als gebucht. Für den Preis eine extrem gute Qualität der Unterkunft. Ruhige Lage und trotzdem Stadtnah. :) Toller Weinanbau „Kantina Mani“ in der Nähe. Sehr empfehlenswert ;)
