My family and I stayed at Il Casale del Gelso for the second leg of our Italian vacation. This farmhouse was truly a retreat, where it was easy to relax and enjoy the beautiful grounds. The kids loved swinging on the tree swing and playing games over the expansive fields. Patrizia and her family was absolutely lovely, very accommodating to any need or question we had, and always available. We communicated frequently via text and she was always responsive, proving great recommendations for local restaurants, grocery stores, etc. We enjoyed our stay, and would absolutely recommend this property for a relaxing stay! All bedrooms and living space are on the first level, the living spaces upstairs are where Patrizia and her family reside-it was so nice to know they were there if anything was needed.
