Review Details:
The property was in an idyllic location, away from it all and so peaceful. Sat Nav took us most of the way but not far enough-straight to the drive, but we got there.
Villa itself was a bit basic, no kettle, had to boil a pan to make a drink, but we managed! Would suggest the owners buy new pillows as 1/2 inch thickness is not much comfort. Bedding and towels were old and worn.
Very disappointed that the pool was too cold to swim in, I am a regular swimmer and can swim in most pools/heat but 17degrees was just too cold for comfort. The sun did not reach the pool until about 14:00 each day in September, so not warming it up enough.
Although I have stated some negatives, overall the holiday was well worth it and this should not deter you from booking this villa. You don't take all your own home comforts away with you! Tuscany and this setting was wonderful. The owners do not speak any English and we communicated with an Italian/English dictionary but we did laugh about this.
