Wir haben es sehr genossen im Gaia , einziger Minuspunkt war das der Schreibtisch als Möbel für den Fernseher benutzt wurde und daher schlecht zu gebrauchen war. Suite 5

Absolute recommendation!

Brand new house, all is in best condition. The gated community is in construction, so: the streets are still unpaved (but this is no issue). The location, a bit outside the city but still in walking distance, is good (one is fastly out of the crowded city). The rooms are very spacious, the breakfast is individual (and great), the staff fantastic - I will come back if possible!
