Appartamento veramente carino, caldo e accogliente
L’appartamento è veramente carino, caldo e accogliente, arredato con gusto e ricerca dei particolari e dotato di tutti i comfort. Siamo stati in questo appartamento alla fine di luglio e lo abbiamo trovato davvero fresco poiché le pareti della casa sono enormi e spesse e si stava bene in qualsiasi ora della giornata. La sera poi tira una leggera brezza marina fantastica!
Gavorrano è un piccolo paese molto tranquillo e caratteristico, arroccato su una collina da cui si vede il mare….la sera la vista del tramonto con il sole che si tuffa nel mare osservata dall’alto del paese è davvero uno spettacolo indimenticabile! Si riesce a vedere tutto il golfo di Follonica fino a Piombino ed anche l’isola d’Elba.
Le spiagge sono vicinissime bellissima Cala Violina!) e si raggiungono velocemente in auto, ma fortunatamente vivendo nel paese non c’è la confusione delle città di
mare ed abbiamo dormito sonni tranquilli.
Gavorrano è un paese davvero caratteristico dal sapore di altri tempi ma al tempo stesso è ben fornito di tutti quei servizi utili che rendono comoda una vacanza:
bars, ristoranti, pizzeria, gelateria, poste, farmacia, banca con bancomat, supermercato, forno, giornalaio, parrucchiere, ufficio turistico.
I proprietari non sono presenti sul posto ma sono stati molto disponibili e ci hanno dato un sacco di consigli utili per meglio approfittare del nostro soggiorno.
Torneremo presto a Gavorrano e consiglieremo questo bell’appartamento.
