Fantastic Pools

“I absolutely loved the massive outdoor water pool at The Contessa. It was spacious enough to accommodate everyone without feeling overcrowded. The outdoor spa was good, and I spent many evenings relaxing there. The indoor pool and spa facilities were also great, perfect for unwinding after a long day exploring.” view full review

Comfortable and Homely
