" Magnifique voyage, superbe organisation et encadrement sur place du début à la fin. Casa di Mansa est un havre de paix. Une équipe adorable et efficace pour nous mettre en sécurité H24/7. Le site est très propre et bien entretenu. Les repas en abondance et l'ambiance était parfaite entre stagiaires et staff et musiciens. Les sorties proposées en accord avec nos envies. L' ambiance d'une colonie de vacances bienveillante et respectueuse. Les cours de danse et percussions de grande qualité. Je reviendrai 😊☀️ "
