The chalets were run-down concrete blocks which did not look at all appealing from the outside, and I am sorry to say things were no better inside. The chalet was dirty, windows rotten and dirty with broken catches. The carpet and sofa badly stained. The beds were wooden and rotten - we ended up sleeping on the mattress on the ...  Read the complete review
