Affittacamere Sparta

Taranto


These meticulously refurbished apartments are arranged on the ground floor of this otherwise utilitarian building on the western edge of the new town. The decor is ultra-comfortable with kitchenettes, power showers and mood lighting. Clever Greek-Spartan touches provide interesting design accents. Vouchers are provided for a light Italian breakfast in a cafe around the corner.
