Guest reviews: La Vecchia Stalla at Pretaccione 
Warszawa, Poland
Would you like to translate?
Bardzo bogato wyposażony apartament w sprzęty AGD. Nie posiada klimatyzacji ale w jego wnętrzu temperatura jest znośna nawet przy 37 stopniach na zewnątrz. Uroczy klimat toskańskiej budowli, odnowiony, pełen zabytkowych przedmiotów i urocza Pani do pomocy, przekazania kluczy, Annalisa. Zawsze pomocna w udzielaniu rad np Gdzie co znaleźć w pobliżu? La Vecchia Salla jest jednym z kilku apartamentów w kompleksie. Są one jednak tak położone, że nie kolidują ze sobą i mieszkańcy prawie się nie widują. Jedyne wspólne miejsce to basen. Portal"To Toskania" bardzo dobrze opisał drogę dojazdową. Bez tego trudno by było znaleźć właściwą trasę nawet z GPS. Gorąco polecam
L’événement majeur aurait été d'assister au Palio de Sienne.
