Miriam et son fils sont vraiment très gentil, à l’écoute et disponible, avec des intentions qui montre leur gentillesse et leur prévoyance ! Leur logement est très bien situé, à 10 minutes de san Gimignano ce qui permet de visiter les grands lieux de la Toscane !

Ruhe nötig? Genau das Richtige!

Das Haus befindet sich in einer Siedlung mit teilweise besser und teilweise weniger bis gar nicht gepflegten Objekten. Zu unserem Zeitpunkt waren wir so ziemlich die einzigen Mieter, was einerseits für sehr viel Ruhe sorgte, auf der anderen Seite war es ein bisschen Creepy. Für eine Woche, in der man entspannen und richtig runter kommen möchte, kann ich diese Location absolut empfehlen. Für zwei Wochen wäre es viel zu langweilig. Einkaufsgelegenheiten sind ziemlich weit weg. Ebenso Städte, die man unter Umständen besichtigen möchte (außer Volterra, das liegt 15 km entfernt). Habe dort einige Bekanntschaften mit einer Schlange, mit Hirschlausfliegen etc. gemacht, aber das ist wohl zu erwarten wenn man in südliche Länder reist. Alles in allem eine durchschnittlich akzeptable Unterkunft.

Natur, Ruhe, Panorama, wunderschöne Landschaft, niedliche Unterkunft

Die Unterkunft bietet alles, was man für einen schönen Urlaub braucht. Der Pool ist großartig, die Landschaft hinreißend, die Wohnung sehr hübsch, bescheiden aber zum Wohlfühlen.

un séjour agréable

Dès notre arrivé Miriam et Carlo ont montré ce que accueil signifiait, toujours avec le sourire ils nous ont présenté ce qui allait devenir notre ‘chez nous’ et conseillé sur les différents circuits touristiques possibles. Sur place de nombreux restaurants nous ont donné l’occasion de découvrir la cuisine italienne sous toutes ces formes de la plus simple à la gastro. Enfin pour ce qui est des visites touristiques, en plus de toutes nos sorties dans la campagne Toscane pour rejoindre les différents monuments nous avons testé Florence par le train, au départ de Certaldo c’est 50 mn avec une arrivée dans le centre et des retours réguliers, que du bonheur ! Encore merci à Miriam et Carlo pour cette gentillesse, nous pensons que d'autres semaines serons nécessaires pour compléter notre culture, pour les personnes qui souhaitent du dépaysement et de la sérénité vous serez les biens venus. Alors Arrivederci !
