Perver, a former officer who manages the Military Casino, is a well-rounded individual who is very friendly and attentive to details. He has a strong food culture that values taste and cleanliness. The military staff are caring, welcoming, and friendly. The balcony terrace overlooking the sea provides a beautiful view at sunset, making it a pleasant place to relax.
