Il giorno seguente ho avuto il piacere di trascorrere delle ore in piscina. Una vera e propria comfort zone, immersa nel verde, tranquillità assoluta e coccolati da Gennaro ed Erik, due grandi professionisti del mestiere e di conseguenza mi hanno stupito, tra le tante cose offerte, con un favoloso LemonSpritz. Tornarci...
