Pulizia e cortesia dei proprietari. Il posto ideale per trascorrere un fine settimana al fresco in questi caldi giorni di agosto senza spendere cifre importanti. Non abbiamo usufruito delle formule a pensione ma comunque abbiamo assaggiato la cucina del ristorante interno..gli gnocchi erano eccellenti! Camera pulita..niente frigo...e punto negativo, l'assenza del bidet... rimpiazzato con un wc con getto d'acqua..a mio parere poco invitante e poco igienico.

Personale gentile , albergo pulito . Immerso nel verde in un punto ottimo per visitare le grotte. Un peccato per la colazione che non viene servita in hotel se non ci sono molte persone ma in un bar. Cosa poco gradita dato che nel prezzo pagato su booking era compresa e al bar ho dovuto pagare qualcosa. Il bar era raggiungibile solo con la macchina. Per il resto il posto è fantastico.

Splendido!! Camere e bagno grandi ,puliti e accoglienti. Personale splendido e davvero molto disponibile! L'hotel è davvero difronte la biglietteria per le grotte. E per arrivare alle grotte c'è la navetta grartuita che porta all'ingresso ( 5 minuti di pullman) . Ritornando all'hotel valutazione ottima!!!
