Das Appartement liegt in der Altstadt unmittelbar neben der Kathedrale Sé und ist ausgesprochen modern, neu und in der Küche sehr gut ausgerüstet. Die Sicht auf die Altstadt von unserem Zimmer war wunderschön. Raquel hat sich viel Zeit genommen und uns an Hand des Stadtplans viele Sehenswürdigkeiten, gute Restaurants usw. gezeigt. 👍😊Wir wurden sehr herzlich empfangen und man merkt, dass das Team mit sehr viel Herzblut diese Apartments führt. Unbedint das Frühstück dazu buchen. Jeden Morgen ein Highlight, wunderschön in einem Korb verpackt, sehr abwechslungsreiche Auswahl!
