It works for both. Though I'd go for the first one. So, the 'very' works for handsome and gentle. But it can also mean the second one. I guess that context does not pique much emphasis and attention in English.

He is very handsome and gentle = he is good looking and well mannered

It is rather Number 2 !

It could mean either, depending on the intonation of your voice.
