The apartment was great for our group of three small families. There were everything that was promised and more! Everything was near and the town was beautiful. Only negative thing was that there is a ten day festival in June and the stage was just down from the apartment. So there was really loud music every night until 2 am. Otherwise everything was just perfect and we has a lovely time! |
