Vacanza relax

Residence tranquillo fornito di una bella piscina e un di un ottimo ristorante. Giacomo, il titolare, è una persona squisita e molto disponibile. La struttura è vicina a delle bellissime spiaggie. Il soggiorno è sicuramente consigliabile se si cerca tranquillia' e se si è in possesso di un mezzo di trasporto.

10/10 Exceptional

Sono stato qui' con la mia famiglia al "Cera una volta" per 10 giorni e ci siamo trovati benissimo tanto da fernarci un giorno in più del previsto. Innanzitutto il complesso è vicino al mare (bellissimo) e qui' sono offerti ai clienti sdraio ed ombrelloni. Se non si vuole andare a mare il residence è dotato di piscina (tenuta benissimo) dove il mio bimbo di 2 anni si è divertito molto. Una delle cose che piu ci è piaciuta di questo posto è la qualita del cibo del ristorante/pizzeria dove vengono usati ingredienti freschissimi, prodotti direttamente dal propietario. Detto questo, ciò che ci spingerà sicuramente a ritornare è stato trattamento riservatoci dal propietario il quale è stato molto attenzioso e veramente gentile come tutto il resto del personale. Grazie mille a voi!
