This establishment belongs to the official category of “guesthouses & family hotels”. The classification of these lodges has been set
in order to clearly differentiate them from the ”international hotels and residences” category, based on the following key elements
– A limited number of furnished units, generally located close to the family home
– Facilities tailored to domestic standards, different from the international tourist hotels criteria
– Restricted catering, reception, and housekeeping service
– Limited staff, both in terms of numbers and professional training
– Reduced taxes
Thus, any restrictive diets, special physical conditions, arrival/departure outside of regular Check In and Check Out hours must be
communicated to us before the reservation is made, and are subject to the approval of the establishment.

nevertheless professional.
