"Davvero eccezionale"

10.0

Davvero un piccolo angolo di paradiso a Kyoto. La casa è incantevole ed ha un carattere eccezionale, perfetta per chi cerca un alloggio con comodità moderne e fascino tradizionale. Comodissima per raggiungere a piedi in 15-20 minuti moltissimi punti di interesse. Menzione d’onore per la sala da bagno con vasca in legno affacciata sul piccolo giardino, è il momento di relax perfetto a fine giornata.

Nulla. Siamo stati sfortunati perché di fronte alla casa c’è un cantiere dove la mattina iniziano a lavorare molto presto, comunque nulla su cui i proprietari della struttura possano intervenire.

"Exceptional"

10.0

I absolutely loved this place. It has a beautiful traditional Japanese style that made the entire stay feel very special and memorable. I especially enjoyed the bath — after a long day of walking, soaking in it completely washed away all my fatigue and helped me relax deeply. The space felt incredibly peaceful, especially with the two windows and the lovely scenery outside. It was quiet, calming, and truly a place where you can unwind. The bed was very comfortable and warm, and I was able to rest really well each night. Everything in the house was very clean and well-maintained, which made the stay even more pleasant. On top of that, the staff were incredibly kind, friendly, and welcoming — they made me feel very comfortable from the moment I arrived. Overall, everything was perfect. I truly enjoyed my stay and would definitely love to come back again.

Very very aesthetically pleasing. It's cozy and tasteful. The garden is lovely. Quiet neighborhood with a bus station within a 3 minute walk.

Nothing important, I just expected a clothing iron.

"Eccezionale e autentico"

10.0

Posto strepitoso, magico ed autentico, in una zona strategicamente perfetta! Curato nei dettagli l’esperienza nel machiya è da fare se ci si vuole immergere nell’atmosfera di Kyoto. Servizio impeccabile asciugamani cambiati ogni giorno, Acqua a disposizione, pulizia giornaliera!

Unica piccola pecca, siamo stati in estate e le pareti come le finestre non sono termoisolanti e molto sottili, pertanto bisogna tenere costantemente l’aria condizionata anche di notte. Ma hanno pensato anche a questo ed i condizionatori delle camere da letto hanno un’asta di legno mobile per evitare il flusso diretto dell’aria sui letti.
