Our stay in San Casciano was very nice. The apartment is the largest and most pleasant of which we have been so far. San Casaciano is an excellent location to visit Tuscany and its beautiful cities and nature. We liked everything, the region, the apartment and the hospitality of the hosts. The apartment is very close to the town (walking distance) but at the same time the apartment is located in a very peacefull place and you can relax just looking at the nature.

Casa Pomegranate 105.2 is een gezellig klein huisje op het domein 'Melograno' met nog andere 3 of 4 vakantieverblijven (ongeveer 20 slaapplaatsen in totaal denk ik). Het staat huisje apart van de andere verblijven en heeft een eigen terras en is heel rustig gelegen. Het jhuisje wordt heel netjes onderhouden en is sober maar smaakvol ingericht.
De concierge Mara woont ter plaatse, is een heel attente Italiaanse dame (spreekt uitsluitend italiaans) en brengt de gasten regelmatig verse eitjes, tomaten, ... uit de eigen tuin.
Het gemeenschappelijk zwembad is groot genoeg en zeer goed onderhouden.
De zandweg naar Casa Pomegranate 102.5 is slecht gedeeltelijk te vinden met de TomTom, maar met de instructies op de voucher is het domein 'Melograno'wel goed te vinden.
Chiusi Scalo is een heel geschikte verblijfplaats om heel wat dorpen en steden in Toscane en Umbrië te verkennen.

[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] Casa 105.2 Pomegranate is a cozy little cottage on the estate "Melograno" with other 3 or 4 cottages (about 20 beds in total I think). The house stands apart from other units and has a private terrace and is very quiet. It is very well maintained and simple but tastefully decorated.
Mara the caretaker lives on site, she is a very thoughtful Italian lady (speaks only Italian), and regularly brings the guests fresh eggs, tomatoes, ... from her own garden.
The communal pool is large enough and well maintained.
The dirt road to Casa 102.5 Pomegranate is only partially available with the TomTom, but with the instructions on the voucher the "Melograno" is easy to find.
Chiusi Scalo is a very suitable place to discover many villages and towns in Tuscany and Umbria.

We could not have wished for a better base to see Tuscany. The directions provided were great right up and to the last step which caused us some difficulties. A bit more detail here would be appreciated.
The villa itself was absolutely ideal and we could not have wished for more. The surroundings were picturesque and quiet despite several families also staying in the villa. The pool and grounds were extremely well kept and it was so relaxing just to spend time in the grounds.
Our villa was stunning and personally, I don't think the pictures on the website did it justice. It was more than we could have ever hoped for. The beds were big and comfortable, the kitchen was well appointed and the sitting room was incredibly comfortable. There was more room than we knew what to do with!
The owners were incredibly helpful and came out at odd hours several times to help us out. Nothing ever seemed too much trouble.
I'd book this villa again in a heartbeat. I can't say a bad word about it!

Casa Simona is a beautiful peacful and well equipped villa. The owners can't do enough for you and upon request of extra fans, they arrived on the same day with two new ones for us. The only problem was that it isnt toddler friendly so if you have a small child be aware its all stone steps and the high drops from surrounding (unfilled fences) Siobhan UK
