8/10 Good

Tolles Haus in absolut ruhiger Lage, perfekt zum entspannen

Pros: Sehr großzügiges Haus, große überdachte Terrasse. Das Haus ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht. Besonders schön war: wir sind sonntags angekommen und es gab eine Grundausstattung mit Brot, Schinken, Käse und eine Flasche Rotwein. Cons: Wenn man etwas Negatives finden will, kann man die staubige Anfahrt nennen. Allerdings ist dies in der Toskana eher normal. 😉

10/10 Excellent

Ruhe, Natur & echtes Toskana-Gefühl

Pros: Eine wunderschöne Unterkunft und der perfekte Ort, um abzuschalten, zur Ruhe zu kommen und die einzigartige Natur der toskanischen Chianti-Landschaft zu genießen. Sofia, Paolo und Patricia sind unglaublich herzliche, liebevolle und aufmerksame Gastgeber. Wir haben uns vom ersten Moment an rundum wohlgefühlt. Die traumhafte Umgebung und die Ruhe waren genau das, was wir gesucht haben. Die Lage ist perfekt für wunderschöne Wanderungen und Fahrradtouren. Dank der tollen Insider-Tipps unserer Gastgeber konnten wir Gaiole in Chianti und viele weitere besondere Orte entdecken und fantastische, authentische toskanische Küche genießen. Auch Siena und Florenz sind gut erreichbar, sodass man Natur, Ruhe und Kultur wunderbar verbinden kann. Vielen Dank für diese wundervolle Zeit! Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen und kommen auf jeden Fall gerne wieder. Eine Unterkunft, die wir von Herzen weiterempfehlen können! 🇮🇹🇩🇪🇨🇱❤️ Liebe Grüße, Angélica und Wolf
