Skylake Glamping #1 de 4 Con Jacuzzi&Vista Al Lago
We have 3 more https://abnb.me/dobQuKhzUHb https://abnb.me/J2QI6zIzUHb https://abnb.me/4CukDRDzUHb This dome is a shell structure built from metal rods in this case, that allow the dome to withstand very heavy loads and high winds despite its lightweight structure. Most of the time when you think of glamping being off-grid comes with it. While you're not exactly off-grid here, as you do have electricity and wifi but you are off the beaten path enough to catch the sunset&sunrise from your dome.
