Excellent residence

Beautiful residence, equipped with all amenities, very helpful staff, as are the owners ready to help you with every need, in fact we asked for help for the safari. Just a phone call from Luigi (the owner) and everything was organized. The residence has a concierge h 24. Upon reservation you can also have dinner. The chef is also very good at preparing Italian dishes.
