“Villa Avanella è un posto davvero molto bello. Le stanze sono spaziose e ben tenute, anche se, va detto, con il caldo estivo possono risultare un po’ calde. Per fortuna, a ogni letto è stato fornito un ventilatore: dettaglio non da poco, davvero apprezzato! La vista dalle camere e dalla piscina è semplicemente stupenda, ti lascia senza parole. La piscina in sé è molto grande e piacevole, anche se l’acqua era un po’ torbida — probabilmente per via dei sali usati per mantenerla pulita, oppure perché durante la nostra vacanza ci siamo trovati a condividere la struttura con un gruppo piuttosto numeroso di ragazzi tedeschi che avevano appena finito la scuola. Diciamo che il loro obiettivo principale non era proprio il relax… ma ci può stare! Lo staff comunque è stato sempre gentile e disponibile con noi. Un altro punto a favore: siamo venuti con il nostro cane e non abbiamo avuto alcun problema, la struttura è pet-friendly e questo per noi ha fatto la differenza.”

“Obsługa 5 Czystość 5 Zabudowania i lokalizacja - specyficzna, trzeba lubić takie klimaty, mi brakowało swiatla, wszechobecny półmrok, w budynku w którym byliśmy dominują kraty w oknach. Widoki - 3, jak dla mnie brak widoków na przepiękna Tosksnie w ofercie były przedstawione świetne zdjęcia na piękną panoramę, niestety, był widok ale za drzewami. Świetny, duży basen, czyszczony codziennie do godzin południowych i do około 10tej czasami 12tej niedostepny Wlascicielka, cudowna kobieta, bardzo pomocna Jeżeli ktoś jedzie na dłużej musi zaopatrzyć się w chemię domowa, plyn do naczyn, reczniki papierowe itp, na 100% trzeba od razu zakupic, podstawowe przyprawy ponieważ żadnych nie ma. Czy osobiscie bym tam wrocil? Nie. To niestety nie moj klimat”
