Un soggiorno agevole e rilassante

Il soggiorno è stato gradevole, in quanto la location era quella che corrispondeva alle nostre aspettative, ovvero tranquilla, appartata e inserita perfettamente nel contesto locale. La stanza era pulita e ben riscaldata, in cucina si trovava tutto il necessario per prepararsi una buona colazione e gli attrezzi per poter cucinare qualsivoglia cibo, e il salone invitava al soggiorno durante le serate. Non è un posto per chi cerca i confort del 21 secolo, ma era ben dotato per stare comodi e sentirsi a proprio agio.

awesome getaway

We were two couples traveling together and we had this place to ourselves, it was like our private estate, loaded with beautiful antiques it is an old winery estate house, its in a fairly remote small town on a hill surrounded by grapes.Great views from the rooftop patio,, its not much to look at from outside the gate but inside, wow. we loved it, thanks very much for your kind hospitality Daniela.

Aufenthalt in der Antike

Der erste Eindruck lässt kein hotel erahnen. Den Zimmern und Räumen fehlt jedoch an nichts und bietet den Augen immer wieder etwas interessantes. Das Personal überzeugt durch seine Freundlichkeit

Must be adventuresome

The caretaker is More than gracious. Very isolated. We had the whole place to ourselves and enjoyed every bit of it, but....... Would not be for everyone. The person looking after it is extremely nice and spoke English. Old but comfortable. Stayed one night and should have styled two. Old village, quiet, quiet and more quiet. Off the beaten track, need a GPS.

Far away and perfect!

Our stay for two nights was absolutely perfect. This is not a "hotel" but a privately owned, wonderful old villa. Which we luckily had all to ourselves. We declined our host to prepare breakfast and took care of it ourselves with plenty of great, fresh food left for us. Your own car is a must to come and go. Can not wait to return!

Stanza molto pulita, così come la struttura. Massima tranquillità della location, indipendentemente dal fatto che eravamo gli unici ospiti. Internet gratuito. Massima disponibilità della padrona di casa. Colazione un po' spartana, ce la siamo preparati da soli, su ns scelta, con quello offerto dalla cucina. Vicino c'è un ottimo ristorante con cucina tipica, da provare!!
