Rooms and suites on the main floor are spacious and bright, starting at 40 square meters, with large windows offering charming views of the surrounding area. Guests can also enjoy a range of communal spaces, from grand salons to more intimate rooms.

Un posto da favola

Comunicazione e check-in perfetti! La struttura è meravigliosa, situata nel centro di Minervino, camere ampie e ben arredate. Bellissima la zona piscina, curata e pulita.
Bella la terrazza usata per la colazione, buona ma darei maggior spazio alla parte salata con un po’ di prodotti tipici locali (formaggi e affettati).
Viaggio spesso per lavoro e, una cosa sempre gradita e che consiglio, è far trovare in camera una bottiglia d’acqua di benvenuto e una cialda di caffè
