His Opinion: Pas de robes de chambres ou de patins dans les chambres. Une bouteille de vin dans les chambres en signe de bienvenue serait appréciée. Personne pour nous accueillir à notre arrivée nous obligeant à attendre près de 30 minutes dehors.

His Opinion: Un excellent séjour, dans une demeure de charme et très calme, dominant des paysages toscans d'une grande beauté. Parfait pour se reposer. Deux regrets. Une météo décevante pour la saison, ce lieu est une merveille sous le soleil. Et un séjour trop court, nous y reviondrons.
