New Review Submitted for Casa Turchesa located in Greve In Chianti, Tuscany, Italy.

Rental Date: Saturday 16th of July 2011.
Renter Rating: 5/5.
Review Details:
We rented this property sight unseen and were not disappointed! The house was exactly as the pictures described. Lots of room, good beds, great pool and outside areas. The view was beautiful and the location very quiet, lots of room for parking for at least 2 cars. The only down side was a slight sewer smell around the pool, though as we traveled in Italy we noticed this several places, maybe it is just that way in certain areas. The yard and garden are large and well kept, even had several herb plants, sage, oregano, rosemary and thyme! we made use of those when we made dinners! Our pool was cleaned twice during our stay. Maybe under the outside sitting area there could be stones, the ground was muddy every day due to the sprinklers came on during the night. Checking in was ok, thanks to Sofia who spoke very good English, this is very important to foreign guests. Sofia also helped making dinner reservations for us, not every place speaks English, was quite frustrating at times. Greve is a beautiful town and we enjoyed the short walk from the house to the plaza, restaurants and shops. It was very easy to get around, and especially nice not to have drive to the shops if we needed anything. The Coop in the center of town has everything you need, also there are lots of wine shops in the center, also small shops that sell lots of things. We enjoyed our croissant and cappuccino every day in the square. We enjoyed our stay very much and would recommend this house highly to others. We will be back!

New Review Submitted for Agriturismo Il Molinello: Cipresso 1801 located in Asciano, Tuscany, Italy.

Rental Date: Saturday 23rd of July 2011.
Renter Rating: 5/5.
Review Details:
Ein wirklich tolles Urlaubsdomizil für Urlauber, die mobil sind und denen ein wenig Einsamkeit nichts ausmacht. Die Betreuung ist vorbildlich, das Appartement (6 Personen)sehr großzügig und die gesamte Anlage hat den richtigen toskanischen Urlaubscharme. Das große Appartement ist einfach aber sehr schön eingerichtet. Der Pool ist groß und sehr sauber, so wie die Anlage im Gesamten.
Lediglich die Restaurant in der Umgebung sind nicht alle zu empfehlen. Die Dame des Hauses informiert aber sehr gerne über die richtigen Möglichkeiten.

[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] A truly great holiday destination for tourists who are mobile and who do not mind a little solitude. The service is exemplary, the apartment (6 persons) is very generous and the entire facility has the perfect Tuscan holiday charm. The large apartment is simply but beautifully decorated. The pool is large and very clean, like the Residence as a whole.
Not all restaurants in the area are recommendable. The host however will inform you about the right possibilities.

New Review Submitted for La Valle A Polvereto: Mimosa located in Montespertoli, Tuscany, Italy.

Rental Date: Tuesday 19th of July 2011.
Renter Rating: 5/5.
Review Details:
The place has a very beautiful view and if you want to stay in a central area in Tuscany this is a very good point. It seems that the property has had better days. The conservation of the gardens and external area is poor. The reception by the properties was disapointing. No welcome in any way. Every single information had to be inquired for. The house hasn't fans and in the summer it's hot and have mosquitoes.

New Review Submitted for Pozzo Dei Desideri located in San Casciano In Val Di Pesa, Tuscany, Italy.

Rental Date: Saturday 23rd of July 2011.
Renter Rating: 5/5.
Review Details:
We liked very much Pozzo dei desideri. Convenient location - easy to find, close to the COOP (supermarket). Spacious, clean rooms with rustic atmosphere. Wonderful views! The landlady, Mrs. Panzani, has been most friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this beautiful place to families with small and grown-up children and groups of friends, who want to explore Toscana.

New Review Submitted for Villa Petrognano located in Barberino Val D'elsa, Tuscany, Italy.

Rental Date: Saturday 23rd of July 2011.
Renter Rating: 5/5.
Review Details:
The villa is situated in a wonderfull and quiet environment. The gardens are well maintained and the interior is well designed and maintained. The airco works well and is silent. There are however some negative points that can be improved certainly for the price that is paid.
1. In the kitchen there is almost no storage place for the food of 16 adults for those that want to cook themselves. The only available cupboard is closed for private use by the owner.
2. At the swimming pool there are only 5 sunbeds that allow adults to lay in the sun. For the others there is only place under the sunroof in a large sofa.
3. The garage is partly taken by a private car of the owner and some spare or broken items as beds, chairs etc.
4. Although there is plenty cookware some essential stuff is missing as e.g. electrical mixer.
5. The kitchen knives are far from being sharp.
6. In the pool there is a loose stone above filter hole that can and has caused an injury at the feet.
7. One of the jacuzzi baths is not working (master bedroom)
