Renter Rating: 5/5.

Thoroughly enjoyed our week long stay in the Fienile at Torre a Cona. The Unit was well equipped and very comfortable for 4 adults. Torre a Cona ia a beautiful property and conveniently located near Florence, but also very quiet and rural. Torre a Cona staff were very friendly and helpful from the booking process all the way through checkout. Highly recommend this property!

We stayed at Girasole in September. It was very quiet as none of the other apartments were occupied. We arrived early and the host allowed us to check in (3pm as opposed to after 5pm). As a result of this we overlooked the stuffiness and the fact only 1 bed was made up (there were 4 of us). The propery was quite old and the bathrooms in need of updating, and felt like the entire place needed a good dusting. However that said, it was an old building and we really enjoyed the rustic charm. The large outdoor entertaining area was amazing and we spent a lot of time there. The kitchen was adequate for our needs as were the utensils/crockery. The views to the surrounding countryside were spectacular and you had a perfect view of San Gimignano from the road at the front of the property. We had problems with the hot water, which the owner promptly had repaired. The washing machine was also broken, but the owners allowed us to use another on the property. It was a little out of the way, but a nice place to visit and we enjoyed our stay and the company of the local cat who made itself at home with us.

Great location across the street from David. In fact, maybe a little too close if you want the living room quiet from 08:30-10:00. Noise from the crowd waiting for tickets didn't reach the bedroom, though, and they were interesting to watch. The washer took a little getting used to, even after we let in the repair man to fix a leak. Also had to get used to the sit-tub/shower. Had a low shelf that you could sit on that sloped to the drain level. Hard to stand in since it was hard to fit both feet on the same level. The slope between the levels was slippery.

ons verblijf in Casa Giovanna was buitengewoon prettig. Het is een leuk, gezellig huis in een heerlijke grote tuin. Het huis was leuk ingericht en in de keuken was echt alles aanwezig. De eigenaren waren bijzonder aardig: ze ontvingen ons met wijn en hapjes! We willen zeker nog een keer terugkomen!
Het enige minpunt was de toegang: een kleine, maar zeer steile helling met grint. Onze auto had er geen probleem mee, maar die van mijn zusje kwam er niet tegenop. Een eindje verderop langs het smalle weggetje was gelukkig wat ruimte om hem te parkeren.
Onhandig is dat het huis eigenlijk een andere naam heeft: Villa l'olivo (of zoiets): we waren er dus eerst voorbijgereden.
