Schöne kleine Ferienwohnung
Ferienwohnung in sehr ruhiger Lage und schöner Umgebung. War zweckmäßig eingerichtet. Dusche war sehr eng und Toilette hatte ein Leck. Welches dann behoben wurde. Alles in allem war es dort ein schöner Urlaub

Séjour à GELSOMINO MAI 2023
Séjour agréable et tranquille dans un appartement sympathique au milieu des bois et proche de SAN GIMIGNANO pour profiter des apéritifs à l'Italienne.
Appartement propre, bien tenu, photos conformes.
Dommage pour ce séjour, le soleil était absent, sinon nous aurions profité de la piscine à deux pas du logement.
Nous reviendrons.

Schöner Aufenthalt in der Toskana
Gastgeber sind sehr freundlich. Sauberes Haus mit kleinen Garten. Der Pool hat den Kindern gut gefallen. Lage ist gut. Viele Sehenswürdigkeiten (Städte) sind im Umkreis von 10-50 km zu erreichen.
