Ein sauberes und sehr gut ausgestattetes Haus mit einem tollen Pool und Hund Pepe inklusive (s. vorherige Gäste). Liebe Vermieter, die direkt nebenan wohnen.
Weg zum Haus über eine Schotterpiste, guter Zustand.
Da es eine landwirtschaftlich geprägte Gegend ist, werden durchaus unter anderem auch Sonntag morgens ab 6.30 Uhr mit dem Kettentraktor (statt Reifen wegen der steilen Hügel) die Felder bearbeitet. Oben auf dem Hügel (kleine Häuserreihe) bellten und heulten oft mehrere Hunde. Das war etwas störend, wenn man sich die Ruhe erhofft.Would you recommend this property to a friend? Yes
Location molto carina, ben curata e in una posizione ottima e sopratutto lontano da tutto e tutti; dove poter fare qualsiasi cosa in tranquillità e senza limiti. I proprietari sono persone molto cordiali e sempre disponibili.. tutte le mattine il loro cagnolino pepe veniva a darci il buongiorno.. ideale per una vacanza all’insegna del relax e della tranquillità in una location unica immersa nella natura più incontaminata. Assolutamente consigliato.
