Des terrasses tout autour de la maison pour profiter ou se protéger du soleil. Les propriétaires accueillants viennent tous les 2-3 jours nettoyer la piscine et arroser le jardin. Ils nous ont aussi proposé plusieurs fois le changement des serviettes ainsi que les draps sur un séjour de 15 jours. Transats, lits, balancelles, parasols, des petites courses appréciables à notre arrivée : tout est fait pour un séjour paradisiaque. ##### Caroline R.
