Refuge in an idyllic place. Genni, the caretaker, is attentive, friendly and an excellent cook and pastry chef. It is very worth going there and enjoying an unforgettable day. A year later, I have returned to La Pera. The same friendly treatment, the same smile...and a scandalous dinner, both in quality and quantity. Thank youssss.
