Beautiful apartment at the top of Giglio Castello

Tony and Ombretta’s apartment was the perfect place to stay and enjoy the best of this beautiful island. Everything in the apartment was spotless and well maintained, and the place has a great layout as well, with a huge lounge and very large bedrooms. All the rooms are beautifully decorated and the kitchen is fully stocked with all the equipment you might need to make family dinners. There were only 4 of us staying there so we were very comfortable, and it's apparently possible to transform the landing on the second floor to an extra bedroom as well. The apartment itself is situated inside Giglio Castello, the beautiful old own at the top of the island. It’s a great place to stay if you prefer cooler evenings and nights after a day on the beach, as the areas near the sea stay pretty warm even when the sun has gone down. The Castello has a maze of picturesque streets, local food and clothes stores, and plenty of delicious restaurants. We loved going to Da Maria's for seafood, and Il Trione di Meino for lovely appetizers and great pizza. It’s easy to park if you have a car (both paid and unpaid can be found around), but the bus is a great option to get to the different small towns and beaches (Porto, Cannelle, Campese, etc). Tony and Ombretta are the most amazing hosts, really kind and caring, and if you need anything they’re always happy to help. We’d most definitely recommend staying here and we know we’ll be back soon!

La vacanza perfetta

L'isola del Giglio è un posto bellissimo e stare al Castello è il modo migliore per godere del suo fascino, con la possibilità di raggiungere in modo agevole e veloce le spiagge. La casa di Ombretta e Tony, che si trova in uno degli angoli più suggestivi del Castello, è stata una vera sorpresa perché è molto più grande e confortevole della tipica casa che uno si aspetta di trovare quando va in vacanza. La casa è arredata con molto buon gusto ed è molto fresca anche nelle giornate più calde. I padroni di casa sono stati perfetti nel farci trovare tutto quello che si può desiderare, anche qualora uno decida di mangiare in casa, cosa che, in verità, noi facevamo solo per la prima colazione. La casa si sviluppa su due piani: al piano principale c'è la cucina, ben attrezzata, con un ampio soggiorno e una camera matrimoniale con un bagno annesso; al piano di sopra c'è un'altra camera con il proprio bagno e un soggiorno con un comodo divano letto utilizzabile anche per due persone. È sicuramente una casa molto consigliabile, ma soprattutto spero di avere presto la possibilità di tornarci io stesso!

INSEL LEBEN

Also wir waren eine Woche auf der Insel Giglio und haben bei Ombretta & Toni in deren Ferienwohnung gewohnt - es war wunderbar - mittendrin im Insel Leben - die Wohnung von Ombretta & Toni ist sehr liebevoll eingerichtet - alles was man jemals benötigen könnte gibt es in der Küche aber auch sonst ist alles vorhanden - wir waren zwei Erwachsene und ein Kind also genügend Platz da es zwei Schlafzimmer gibt - die Whg ist ideal für eine vierköpfige Familie od zwei Paare - beide Schlafzimmer haben ein eigens Bad und die Schlafzimmer sind auf versch. Etagen - das Wohnzimmer mit großem Esstisch ist ebenfalls ideal für vier Personen - Wir kommen gerne wieder...;-) Besonders zu erwähnen ist die Gastfreundschaft von Ombretta & Toni die beiden sprechen zudem perfektes Englisch und helfen immer gerne wenn nötig - Toll - Viele Grüße, Hatice & Tim & Andreas.

Ottima settimana al Giglio

Abbiamo soggiornato in questo appartamento con la mia famiglia. Siamo stati perfettamente. Tutti gli ambienti sono estremamente funzionali e dotati di tutto ciò che necessita. La pulizia è minuziosa e l'accoglienza assolutamente cordiale. Voto 10 e lode; non si può chiedere di più - Grazie Ombretta e Tony. Torneremo presto a trovarvi.

An excellent place to stay, fantastic holiday

Donna Lidia is within the walled Castello on top of the hill. It is a very old scenic city with places to eat, a bank, shops and walks down to the beaches. The accommodation is very clean, comfortable, spacious and had everything we needed. The owners were incredibly generous and helpful. We caught the train from Rome, then a bus from Orbetello Scalo to the ferry, then another bus to Castello Giglio. It was very easy to travel to the island from Rome and also around the Island even though we did not have a car. The views are spectacular and the beaches had excellent visibility for snorkeling. Our three teenage children, as well as us, had a fantastic time. August is very hot but there was no need for air conditioning because of the cool breeze in the evening, so we slept well. Going back to Rome was like going to a different planet. Isola de Giglio is an island with a lot of history yet also a lively and relaxing place to spend a holiday. Highly recommended and many thanks to our hosts.
