Other things to note 🛎️ Helpful information before your stay To reach the house comfortably, we recommend the road that passes through Ghirla, which is wider and easier. The navigation system may sometimes suggest the route via Ardena, which is narrower and more winding, so we recommend following the route through Ghirla. Free parking 🅿️ is available for the house. We kindly ask you to park carefully in your designated space. ♻️ We care about the environment: we invite you to follow the recycling, respecting the instructions you will find in the property.
