6/10 Okay

Beautiful apartment but lacks some basic amenities

The apartment itself is beautiful with plenty of space for our family of 7. We were very disappointed with the lack of thought in the details. For example, there was NO hand soap, no dish soap, no sponge, and not even a garbage bag for trash. We were incredibly upset that after our 7 hour drive we had to go to the store for very basic amenities. And it wasn't as if the apartment was cheap. Rather we had payed quite a bit for the space so it would have been nice to have some basics upon arrival. Our kids absolutely loved the pool which was perfect for day time activities. Though, it would have been nice if there were towels for the pool- they charge you 5 Euro for the use of one towel which is absurd. Overall, the space was nice but we would never stay there again.

Schöner Zwischenstopp auf unserer Reise.

Es waren schöne Tage dort. Die Parkplatzsituation war nicht so toll aber im großen und ganzen war es in Ordnung.

Die Seele baumeln lassen...

Wer Urlaub völlig abseits ausgetretener Pfade machen möchte ist hier genau richtig: ein ruhiges, kleines Dorf in leicht erhöhter Lage im Pisaner Hinterland, alte Häuser, freundliche Menschen und außer dem Borgo d'Alica praktisch keine touristische Infrastruktur. Der kurze Weg zum Pool durchs Dorf (ca. 300 m) verstärkt den schönen Eindruck hier nicht in einem abgeschotteten Ressort gelandet zu sein. Am wunderschön gelegenen Pool selbst hatte jede Wohneinheit reservierte Liegen und Sonnenschirme (Covid!). Die großzügige und gut ausgestattetet Unterkunft selbst bietet außer den antiken, hohen Räumen eine wunderschöne Terrasse mit Panoramablick übers Tal. Auch für Ausflüge ins Hinterland oder ans Meer ist die Lage perfekt. Ich konnte einige fantastische Rennradtouren auf ganz ruhigen Nebenstraßen unternehmen. Die Abwicklung mit dem sehr netten Vermieterehepaar war von Anfang bis Ende unkompliziert. Wir (11 - 51 Jahre) haben uns alle sehr wohl gefühlt. Eine klare Empfehlung also für dieses Alternativkonzept zum allseits beklagten Overtourism - Mille grazie!
