Location bellissima in mezzo ad un agrumeto immenso,personale super cortese,il palmento ristrutturato a ristorante è bellissimo e la prima colazione gradevole , spa molto curata , ottima massotorapista Ucraina , non do cinque stelle perché a mio avviso una struttura di tale livello non può non avere i termosifoni ed affidarsi ad una pompa di calore , peraltro il bagno è totalmente sguarnito e lo sbalzo termico è notevole , nell insieme comunque da consigliare

Beautiful location in the middle of an immense citrus grove, super courteous staff, the renovated millstone into a restaurant is beautiful and the breakfast pleasant, very well-kept spa, excellent Ukrainian massotherapist, I don't give five stars because in my opinion a structure of this level cannot fail to have radiators and rely on a heat pump, however the bathroom is totally unfurnished and the temperature difference is notable, overall still to be recommended
