Le jardin, maintenu parfaitement et les terrasses. L’architecture/ conception de la maison, Beldi. C’est un très bel objet. Évidemment Le service impeccable et la gestion assurée par Yousef, qui a été formidable, tout autant que la cuisinière la femme de chambre. Mathilde nous a également beaucoup assisté. Un grand merci à l’équipe! Une rénovation légère devrait être à prévoir, notamment au niveau des boiseries extérieures, des sanitaires et des climatisations. L’état général de la maison reste bon cependant.
