Great location. Very scenic and close to downtown Greve. Nice terrace patio to watch sunsets and drink some of the fabulouse local wines. Roberto the owner was very nice and helpful with local places to eat at. He also had very friendly dog name Boo.

3 ^/5 Good   Villa Review Rating Details

The area was beautiful although challenging to find. We really liked the town of Greve which was close by, just down the high hills. The owner, Roberto, was very helpful with directions and with advice on things to do or see. The space in our cottage was great, the bathroom was fairly new and well equipped with a nice shower. The bed was comfortable, but we would have liked to have an extra pillow. The kitchen was OK, with a small gas stove and a toaster oven. However, there were only the bare minimum of things to use. We even had to ask for a corkscrew and this in the Chianti region known for its wines. There were only 2 wine glasses, we ended up buying our own proper wine glasses. There was no kettle, we heated water in a saucepan. There are absolutely no extras: one dishtowel, one sponge, no paper towels, only 1 roll of toilet paper. We had to buy salt and pepper even. If I had known that I would have packed a few kitchen essentials so that we did not have to buy as much. Overall, we liked the location and the space, the owners were pleasant,and the place was clean, but do not expect any nice touchs of welcome to another's home.
