Can't get more peaceful
All the above-mentioned vacation rentals are ideally located in quiet and green neighbourhoods. Due to the fact that they are further away from the city centre, they tend to have lower prices. So, if you are looking for budget accommodation and a tranquil environment to return after long days of sightseeing, then this cute town is your best bet.
