A delightful house in a quiet location close to Cortona, one of the lesser known but very lovely Tuscan hill towns. The swimming pool was particularly lovely.

Zeer goede ligging vlak bij Pisa en Lucca gemakkelijk te bereiken. Gezellige inrichting en veel groen. De inrichting heeft zijn beste tijd gehad.

Tenuta Tizzauli is very well located in the Chianti region half way between Firenze and Siena. We stayed in the Rosa appartment for week and had a great time. The appartment was very clean and comfortable. the pool is nice. There is no need for AC even in the middle of summer as the place is nice and cool. It is perfectly located for short trips in the Chianty region, wine tasting, trip to Firenze, etc.
THe only problem we had is the Internet connection(or rather the lack of). It says there is Wifi but in reality it doesn't work at all. The bandwidth is so low that it takes hours to load a web page.
Note from the owner: we have had a problem with the Wi-Fi system but now we have solved the problem by installing stronger units in the apartments, now it's working correctly.

Wij hebben 2 geweldige weken gehad. Het huisje (7) was heel leuk, met een grote privétuin erbij. Voor onze kinderen was met name het zwembad echt perfect. Het loopt schuin af waardoor ze tot ver in het water konden staan. Onze jongste is pas 4 en dan is het toch fijn om te weten dat je er niet de hele tijd bij hoeft te zijn. De beheerder is erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Enige minpuntje waren de spinnenwebben. Verder zou ik iedereen deze locatie aanbevelen. Heerlijk gelegen in het Toscaanse landschap.

[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] We have had two great weeks. The house (7) was very nice, with a large private garden there. For our children, especially the pool was perfect. It runs diagonally so that they could stand in the water. Our youngest is only 4 and it is nice to know that you do not have to be alert all of the time. The manager is very friendly and helpful. Only downside was the cobwebs but I would recommend anyone this place. Superbly situated in the Tuscan countryside.

We absolutely loved this place! The atmosphere was calm and friendly, the views were spectacular and the pictures on the website were not deceiving it all - it was better than the pictures!! We were very impressed with the owners who were helpful and kind. This has been the highlight of our 3 week tour of Italy and we highly recommend this destination! The villa was clean, well equipped, and the beds were comfortable. We hope to come back here someday. Carol M. Pasadena, California USA
