Hotel Borgo Del Vino
O Hotel é muito bonito. Chegamos e estava muito calor, mas o quarto estava com o ar ligado esperando a gente com todo conforto. Atendimento muito bom, um pouco lento, mas de qualidade. Tivemos um check-out tardio o que foi excelente para as crianças aproveitarem mais um dia de piscina.
