Should You Book Casa vacanze Leo?

- Pet owners traveling with their pets since pets are allowed
- Active travelers who still want leisure time, thanks to exercise/lap pool access
Not Ideal For
- Travelers who need a fully walkable location to major attractions, since the property is in Contrada la Franca and nearby sights are farther out

- Travelers arriving outside the stated check-in window of 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM
What to Expect
You arrive to Contrada la Franca and immediately get a more residential, relaxed feel rather than a busy city stay.
