An oasis of peace a few kilometers from many tourist attractions. Friendly hosts. Sweet and savory breakfast of every kind, prepared directly by the hosts with quality products, to enjoy in the room or outside under the porch. Everything was great. Well done.

I have just returned from two days spent immersed in the greenery of San Secondo. The farmhouse I Gelsi is, to say the least, an oasis of peace. A beautiful rustic building that, fortunately, has not lost its identity and origins. The room has all the necessary comforts (very comfortable mattress and duvet, a small kitchenette with everything available and a nice basket with sweets) and, above all, a silence that allows you to sleep peacefully. Francesca and her husband are hosts who make you feel truly at home; it felt like I had known them forever. They are willing to fulfill any request. Genuine breakfast, the cakes prepared by Francesca are magnificent and the foam on the caffè latte made by her husband was delightful, adorable and impeccable. Oh... our dog Giovanni thanks them for the outdoor space he could enjoy freely in the morning. I highly recommend recharging your batteries and regenerating in this farmhouse.
