Abbiamo trascorso qui le nostre vacanze estive. La struttura si caratterizza per l'amore che la Sig.ra Serafina, i figli e tutto lo staff mettono nel lavoro che fanno. Gentilezza, disponibilità e sorrisi non mancano mai! Ad ogni esigenza rispondono con prontezza e cortesia. In conclusione se cercate un posto dove trascorrere un periodo di riposo, scegliete "viola nel parco".
