Hemos estado este fin de semana en la casa y hemos salido encantados. Eramos 18 personas y cada uno teniamos nuestra propia habitacion con baño incluido. La casa esta cuidad al detalle, es muy grande y confortable (tal cual se ve en las fotos, no engañan en absoluto!). Las dueñas son muy agradables y hemos recibo un buen trato. Seguro que repetimos.
