Reviews of Raphael’s Garden House

• Franco from Italy – 2 March 2025 (7/10)

  Posizione ottimale. L’appartamento molto spazioso con bel giardino
  
  What could be improved: L’appartamento necessita di alcune attenzioni: la lavastoviglie non funzionava, la maniglia della camera da letto era rotta e se si chiudeva da dentro si rischiava di rimanere in camera se soli in casa, il giardino aveva l’erba alta …Insomma va curata meglio la steuttura
