Un petit coin de paradis !

Des vacances inoubliables dans cette magnifique bâtisse rénovée avec goût. Le calme, le repos, la dolce vita ont toujours été au rendez-vous tout au long de notre séjour. Un grand merci à Giovanni et Pia pour leur accueil chaleureux tout en respect de notre intimité. Là bas, vous trouverez tout ce qu'il vous faut dans le vaste appartement, mais surtout une énorme sensation de bien-être et de repos loin des bruits de la ville. Une adresse à retenir assurément !

Wunderschöner Platz zum entspannen

Casale Refoli liegt absolut ruhig, mit sehr schönem Blick auf Casole d'Elsa. Die Betreuung vor Ort durch den Besitzer ist optimal, immer hilfreich, nie aufdringlich. Die Anlage ist sehr gepflegt. Die Ausstattung sehr gut ( mit Wasserkocher und Microwelle wäre sie perfekt ), sehr geräumige Wohnung mit großem Bett mit guter Matratze. Sehr guter Ausgangspunkt um die Sehenswürdigkeiten der mittleren Toskana schnell zu erreichen. Die 2,5 km lange Schotterstraße ist mit normalem PKW gefahrlos zu befahren aber etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig. Da es morgens ca. 35min für Hin- und Rückweg zum Bäcker dauert, haben wir unsere Frühstücksbrötchen immer schon am Vortag gekauft und morgens auf dem Toaster wieder aufgefrischt. Die Jagdhunde in der weiteren Nachbarschaft sind bei offenem Fenster nachts leider gut zu hören. Der Pool ist ausgezeichnet. Komplettes deutsches TV-Angebot und problemloser Internetzugang. Die 5 Wohnungen sind so im Haus verteilt, dass man immer seine Privatsphäre hat. Das schnell zu erreichende San Gimignano ist wirlich ein Besuch wert ( bei uns waren es 3 Besuche ) nicht zuletzt wegen dem excellenten Eis aus der Eisdiele des Weltmeisters der Eismacher

Response from VrboOwner on 6 Mar, 2020
I thank the guests for their detailed review which I think looks quite good. I’d like to stress, after to be written in our announcement, that the gravel road about 2 km leading to the village is not suitable for cars too low or drivers with a strong attitude to urban driving. Asphalt almost always means noise and pollution. This stretch of country road has instead a very positive aspect as the lack of traffic and great tranquility. Most of our guests detect this point as the main and primary one and usually those who choose a country house takes account of these advantages. Wish the bakery a few steps it means perhaps that the choice of an apartment in the village or in a place more crowded inhabited would be preferred. The village of Casole d'Elsa is 5 km from Casale Refoli property that is located in the countryside and spend a little time to enjoy the animation in the village can be very pleasant. Even the silence of the most silent countryside is populated by so many noises that we can notice even if they occur far away from us. Given that we are talking about an agricultural area where closest neighbors are at least 2 km away, in 10 years of hospitality business is the first time a guest points out the difficulty of neighborhood dogs. The area is also a big hunting reserve; it is possible that in recent days there have been also nocturnal movements of hunters with their dogs. I hope that E. and M. will come back to stay in Casale Refoli when and if they wants to. They’re ideal host for their kindness, cleanliness and politeness. Their suggestions are welcome and we'll try to improve where we can. Particularly the road is repaired - even if it is not our property - every year for the tourist season and in the future we will try to do even better. Best regards, Giovanni D’Auria - Casale Refoli’s owner
