Sehr gut ausgestattetes Haus was eigentlich keine Wünsche offen läßt.
Verwundert hat mich nur dass wir scheinbar das einzige Haus in der Anlage ohne Liegenauflagen waren, War nicht weiter so schlimm, da man sich draußen wegen der lauten Dopplehausnachbarn , mit Kommunikationsformen und Stimmung wie auf dem Fußballfeld, eh nie lang aufgehalten konnte.
Wünschenswert wären WLAN draußen und im oberen Stock damit man sich Internetnutzung nicht nur auf einen Raum beschränkt. Da sich die Schlafräume tagsüber aufheizen wird nachts gelüftet. Um den kühlen Abendwind vom Berg zu nutzen geht dies nur über Querlüftung über das Kinderzimmer, mit Einschränkungen der Privatsphäre für Kids und Eltern. Die beste Alternative Querlüftung über den angrenzenden Balkon scheidet wegen fehlendem Moskitoschutz aus. Hier wäre ein Moskitolamellenvorhang für die Balkontür eine echte Verbesserung.
Für Urlauber die beim Fahren mt Übelkeit zu tun haben ist das Quartier aufgrund der serpentinenartigen und schlechten Zufahrtswege nicht uunbedingt zu empfehlen.
Coup de coeur pour le jardin des tarots, les sources Saturnia.
Accueil très sympa et chaleureux chez nos hôtes Enrico et Angela à la Locanda da Pieve. Enfants très bien accueillis.
