Reviewer Location: Kastrup Denmark. Date of arrival: Jul 4, 2009. Name on Contract: Arne Andersen. Review Rating : 5/5
'We - a danish family on 6 persons stayed at Torre Del Guado app. Gelso for 14 days in the beginning of July 09
Its now the 7 time we are visiting Italy and our experience this time is beyond every thing ever seen - the hospitality and friendlyness from our host is something never experienced before. The place is lovely - very well kept and its clearly to see the proudness from the owners about the place. Its very easy to reach all the main cities in tuscany such as Florence, Siena and Arezzo or if prefered finding small towns in the hills. We can only highly recommend to everybody Torre Del Guado and we certainly want to go back there next year Mattia and Giuseppe, thank you so much again for 2 wonderful weeks. Looking forward to seeing again you next summer! Kindets aa.hp@mail.dk
