Why we chose this stay · Tier B
Nido al Lido offers a strong calmcation experience with its peaceful setting, excellent hosts, and good water access. While it has private outdoor spaces and a slow atmosphere, the 'vacation home' style and the need for a car for village access place it in Tier B rather than a defining Tier A.

La struttura è davvero ottima: curata nei minimi dettagli, elegante e soprattutto molto pulita.
