Guestbook for Semiramida Gardens
The organisation with Balkan PMS and Hunters was great, I cannot fault their service one bit! Our lessons were really good as there were only the three of us in our lesson, and the instructor was very patient!! The free shuttle bus every morning from the apartment was great, and saved us a lot of money, and the guys in the ski depot and the instructors were all really good fun!
You have a really lovely apartment, in a beautiful area, I am really pleased we chose to stay there!
we all had a fantastic week, and can't wait to go again!
