The ideal PE layover/city base/overnight stop

10.0

Wow, this was truly a find. We couldn't have asked for a better 'PE airport layover'. It ticks every box - location (a mere 10 minutes from the airport), convenience (several good restaurants just outside the gate; Hussar's Grill highly recommended), a lovely garden setting with pool (that we never got to use), attention to detail (generous overkill on every front), a kitchen stocked to the hilt with delicious goodies for the self-serve breakfast, and really good value. Our stay was short, but just so enjoyable. This will definitely be our go-to in the future - flying in and out of PE, or a halfway stop to wherever...

Nothing - was all perfect.

Super udany

10.0

Wspaniala lokalizacja - 7 minut autem do lotniska. Spokojna dzielnica, Dom z bogata historia, urzadzony ze smakiem. Gospodyni - gotowa nieba przychylic. Na przeciw domu swietna restauracja, gdzie bardzo trudno znalezc wolny stolik, ale dzieki telefonowi gospodyni mielismy prawdziwa uczte, na kazdy pokoj zajety - bon na butelke wina gratis. Ogrzewane lozko, w holu stylowy kominek z mozliwoscia rozpalenia wieczorem ognia. Sniadanie -self service z pelna lodowka i szafa zapasow.

NIC!
