we truly enjoyed our stay at the villa, ir really lived up to all the stunning pictures we had viewed. The setting is completely private, the grounds are amazing, and waking up to shirping birds is a wonderful experience. The villa IS very remote, up about 2 miles of gravel and dirt road, but the drive is worth it. The only things we found lacking are dishes, glassware, wine glasses, flatware and serving pieces in the kitchen. Additionally, the lighting is bad so we should probably have asked them to replace all the light bulbs that were out, how to work all the chandeliers and more lamps perhaps, also there are not screens on the windows in some bedrooms. Brita was very helpful and also though they charge extra for heat, it was worth it and not that expensive, less than 25 bucks a day! enjoy!!

Perfect location to explore Tuscany - particularly the Chianti region.
Well equipped kitchen
Beautiful scenic grounds
Shower was unpredictable and toilet plumbing ran continuously & was noisy throughout the night
Renters be advised that in addition to the advertised cost you will pay for gas usage when you leave which is "expensive gas" we paid 30 euros and only ran the heating for half an evening
Functional fire place looked nice but it was unusable as no kindling was provided.
[Owner counter comment] We have checked the shower and toilet plumbing, all is functioning fine. We always check everything when guests arrive and when they go away, but we never had noise in the bathroom. We suppose it was a momentary thing due to the floating which maybe had moved and then placed itself back in place.
We had been very clear on the consumption and the cost of LPG and for a daily us of the heating we indicated a variable amount up to a maximum of € 50. We did the reading of the meter and showed it to the guests. For a consumption of 9 mc I have received a bill of € 45,92 , so € 30 for 6 mc seems a fair amount to us.
There sure are all types of firewood in and around the house but one also needs the skill of starting a fire.

Casa Turchesa is in a wonderful location. The views are lovely. The house is spacious and it is a short walk into Greve with good shops, restaurants and market.Monica is very helpful. The house could do with a couple of comfortable armchairs for the evening time. Overall a great base for this part of Tuscany.

Our stay was everything we had hoped for in a villa in Tuscany. Great base for days trips round the region. Both apartments have wonderful decorative touches combining old world with modern convinces. The owners were friendly and inviting,the dinner they prepare for all the guests was wonderful. We will definitely come again

The apartment was wonderful and probably our favorite of the apartments we stayed in during our two week Italian vacation. The unit is very charming with the curved ceilings, rustic beams, and beautiful kitchen fixtures. The apartment's location is perfect, very close to the Leaning Tower, and close enough to the train station to walk (if carrying luggage, it might be better to take a taxi). It's best to close the windows in the living room and kitchen at night since they open onto a small street. There is some noise from people walking by or an occasional scooter. The windows and shutters block any noise when they are closed. We left the window in the back bedroom, that faces the courtyard open all night, and didn't hear any noise. The apartment is very peaceful, the washing machine is easy to use an the providing drying rack is large, which was very nice. The owner provided an internet hot- spot, which was great. However, connectivity worked best if you were near the unit. The walls are very thick, so reception wasn't great if you were too far away. The unit is portable and is about the size of credit card (but thicker) so it was easy to keep nearby. We would definately stay in this apartment again, on our next visit.
