Further details for this vacation apartment rental in Giglio, Italy

Natural Beauty: Springtime on the island is a riot of colourful flowers with a permanent backdrop of blue skies and sea. Giglio (pronounced 'Jeeleeo') is well known for the natural beauty of its pinewoods, terraced hills, vineyards, bays, beaches and countryside. In the summer months one can hear impromptu jazz and folk music played in the streets and the village is alive with typical, bustling Italian colour. The people of the island are known for their genuine warmth.

Surroundings: A trip to the mainland will bring you within driving distance (1 - 3hrs) of many fascinating places such as Rome, Pisa, Florence, Siena and the famous Sulphur swimming pools at the beauty, health spa of Saturnia, in the Tuscan countryside. (The ferry takes 50 mins to the island and tickets are approx 5 Euros per person and 27 Euros for a family car). Rome, with its magnificent sights and fashion shopping, is less than a 2 hour drive on the autostrada, from Porto Santo Stefano, on the Argentario promontory.

Other Activities: Nature trails, boat trips around the islands and basking in the sun.

Review Submitted: December 6, 2007 Date of Stay: December 2007
M.M. Aberdeen - Sept . Just to say we had a superb time in Giglio. The people were friendly and the weather was superb. I would recommend it to anyone. G&N. London - Oct .
Thanks for making our stay on the island so lovely. We took advantage of most things on the island, particularly the beaches-all your recommendations fitted our needs too! We found the landscape spectacular and had some epic walks which ended up with a leisurely dip. It was a pleasure to stay in your place and a great adventure being in the Castello itself.
