New Review Submitted for Podere Nannera located in Lastra A Signa, Tuscany, Italy.

Rental Date: Saturday 7th of September 2013.
Renter Rating: 4/5.
Review Details:
This villa is very convenient for day trips to cities in Tuscany (e.g., Florence, Pisa, Siena, Lucca, San Gimignano).
Our hostess met us as planned. Her English is quite good. She gave us the keys and explained how the stove worked. Parking is inside a gated area 50 meters from the entrance.
All bedrooms are ensuite. The ground floor bedroom was a bit cozy -- not much room between the bed and the wall. Our friends who stayed in the second-floor bedrooms occasionally heard road noise from a secondary road 50 meters from the back of the villa. The bathrooms are modern and reasonably well lit.
The kitchen was equipped with a stove, fridge, basic pots and pans, utensils, silverware, plates, cups and glasses. The electric tea kettle was convenient, but a microwave would have helped.
The common areas were roomy and comfortable. The patio includes a nice covered picnic table.
The 20-minute train ride into Florence is very convenient and comfortable. The train station is a 10-minute ride from the villa on the outskirts of Lastra a Signa.
We really enjoyed the wine-tasting near San Gimignano.
The washing machine didn't work at first, but the hostess got it fixed promptly. We couldn't find a supply of trash bags so had to use grocery bags. The bars in the closets were too high. The TV included many channels, but a list of channels that give news and weather in English would have been helpful.

New Review Submitted for Piazza Della Signoria: Vista Su Piazza Della Signoria located in Florence, Tuscany, Italy.

Rental Date: Sunday 22nd of September 2013.
Renter Rating: 4/5.
Review Details:
If you are looking for the best location - this is it! The apartment looks out over a beautiful square and it's in the heart of the city. The apartment was very comfortable and we truly enjoyed our stay. The only downside was that the apartment was advertized to have a washer and dryer and it does not. This caused some problems since we had packed with that in mind! Also, bring your earplugs - the apartment is over 3 restaurants and it can be quite noisy at night. Even with those small problems we had a great time and the hotel staff that owes the apartment was wonderful.

Rental Date: Tuesday 17th of September 2013.
Renter Rating: 4/5.
Review Details:
Very nice quality house, small kitchen, wish the pool was heated, poor internet. But the view from the terrace was beautiful, located in a small and quiet little village. Not too far from Florence.

New Review Submitted for La Bandita located in Bettolle, Tuscany, Italy.

Rental Date: Saturday 14th of September 2013.
Renter Rating: 5/5.
Review Details:
The villa was as described / pictured.... actually had 13 baths...not 11 as billed (one in main salon and one by the main pool). Had difficulty connecting with the owner/property manager before arrival (perhaps too many middlemen) but he proved to be great to work with once we arrived. Highly recommend this for your large group!
