A stunningly situated venue for a family few nights away. The apartment was very well equipped. The downstairs room felt a bit musty and the mattreses were very firm but we enjoyed our visit.

The scenery and location was magnificant and beautiful. very close to lots of good places. It was a beautiful apartment, nicely designed and well-maintained. Just a shame that neighbors are touching walls. Was presurised with small kids to keep the noise down, windows closed etc. We were very excited to find a cupboard of toys, was disappointed that they all had mising pieces or parts! Would say it's more suited for older company than young kids, but we had a great time nevertheles! Thank you!
