Sofija Sofi Petkovic June 2024

Our stay Casino Doxi Stracca was such a magical time for my family. The villa and grounds were spectacular, we felt like we had taken over a royal palace. Around every corner there was another treasure and space to be discovered. Being such a large family it is rare to find a place that can fit us so comfortably, while offering everyone a retreat and privacy. Casino Doxi Stracca holds such a special place in our hearts - we will be back.
