This is precisely the kind of holiday that we offer: the chance to partake in the culture of the area chosen, living for a few days or weeks in the same surrounding as an inhabitant would. We cannot however exclude the possibility that these differences can sometimes result in minor inconveniences due to the special nature of its architecture and of traditions in the area, but which cannot be perceived as complaints. In order to minimize this factor, of course we use certain minimum standards for all the properties we have.
