"Oui 😊 Je le ferais plus simple et naturel, comme un vrai avis Expedia : Nous avons vraiment adoré notre séjour à Villa Solvorn! ❤️ Notre hôte a été extrêmement gentil et accueillant. Il nous a fait visiter la villa à notre arrivée et nous a tout de suite mis à l’aise. Il nous a aussi donné des cartes et de bonnes informations sur les randonnées et les choses à faire dans les environs. La villa est très belle et située dans un charmant petit village. Il y a 6 chambres, deux grandes salles de bain complètes ainsi qu’une salle d’eau. Un petit réfrigérateur est également à la disposition des clients. Le déjeuner était vraiment excellent et très généreux. Notre hôte préparait les œufs et le bacon sur commande et remplissait notre café au besoin. ☕️🍳 Nous avons vraiment apprécié notre séjour. Un endroit chaleureux avec un hôte merveilleux et très attentionné. Nous recommandons définitivement Villa Solvorn! ❤️"
