Antik kann ja auch bequem und sauber sein
Vermieter sehr freundlich, Empfang hektisch , Unterkunft sehr speziell vor allem dunkel. Ausstattung der Küche sehr spartanisch- 1Kaffeelöffel ! Keine Weingläser oder Schnapsgläser.
Wasserkocher sowie das gesamte Geschirr und Besteck waren nicht sauber. Gewürze etc.. im Schrank mit MHD 2006.
Die Kaffeemaschine war eine Pad Maschine und auch sehr ungepflegt.
Das Mobiliar augenscheinlich antik und kaum nutzbar. Sämtliche Stühle und Bänke wackelig.
Auch dem versprochenen Pizzaofen fehlte das nötige Equipment ( Schieber)
Die Couch nicht zu benutzen, TV nur Italienische Sender.
Abrechnung der NK fragwürdig.
Anfahrt direkt ans Haus nicht möglich
( Strasse sehr schlecht)
Die Lage ist schön und die Aussicht auch.
Florenz, Sienna und Pisa nicht weit.
Zum Meer 90Autominuten.

Herzliche Atmosphäre mit Toskanablick
Das historische Haus über drei Stockwerke besitzt viel rustikalen Charme und mit seiner "Dunkelheit" drinnen genau das Richtige für die gleißende Toskana. Die Lage ist ruhig am Ende einer Straße. Der Garten ist groß mit schönem Ausblick, Olivenbäumen, Grill, Pizzaofen und Wasseranschluss. Die Vermieter/Eigentümer sind sehr freundlich, unkompliziert und herzlich.

Es war ein wunderbarer erholsamer Sommerurlaub
Wir wohnten, abgesehen von den modernen Annehmlichkeiten wie Bäder, Kühlschrank, Herd ..., wie im Mittelalter. Der mit viel Liebe und Schaffenskraft aufgebaute und restaurierte Turm bot eine anheimelnde Umgebung für einen perfekten Urlaub.

Wunderschön!
Wir haben hier eine wunderschöne Frühlingswoche verbracht. Alles da, alles gut. So schön im Garten, tolle Abende mit Pizza aus dem urigen Pizzaofen. Und die ganze Zeit so lieb umsorgt und freundlich begleitet vom Eigentümer.
