Vila Vita Parc
It was a great stay. The staff is very friendly and professional, breakfast is first class (and they were very accommodating my wife's dietary restrictions) Dinner at Aladin Grill was one to remember. We enjoyed the walks and hikes, yes we needed a car to go to some places, but was everything within ...
