            The bed was very comfortable The room was very clean The staff was friendly

            Damn near impossible to find but clean and comfortable. Finding it took the good graces of many locals as t is offset from the road with unclear signage. I would describe it as being more like a homestay than a hotel but it was a nice place to stay.

            房东夫妇的热情 安排行程 旅行建议

            在澎湖的两天都住在玄武岩之美,房东夫妇人超级好。一开始早上接我们到住的地方,虽然没到入住时间,还是让我们用了浴室,稍微整理了一下,以便第一天直接去玩。在岛上的娱乐项目也是房东安排的,省去了很多麻烦。早餐有很多选择,也是棒棒哒!后来租车出了点问题,房东又非常贴心的帮我们解决,安慰我们,感觉很温暖~离开那天也是载我们到机场,还送了明信片给我们,为澎湖之旅画上了圆满的句号。房间很干净,有窗户。总之,很满意!深刻的体会到了那句“在台湾最美的风景是人”

            第一次澎湖自遊行,很感謝民宿的老闆來接我們前往到民宿,以及幫租機車讓我們抵達後,就可以立馬四處趴趴走了,這次的行程感謝民宿老闆的介紹,讓我在短短四天就繞完整個馬公一圈,住宿的房間乾淨,離市中心也不會很遠,是馬公所有起跑點中間的地理位置很好辨認!
