The property was lovely. The villa is very clean and spacious and the grounds are beutiful. The views are spectacular. We enjoyed our stay very much and would absolutely go back.

Great place..Great views. Well situated within easy distance to the train station that takes you to Florence. We travelled by car to Siena, Sam Gimignano, Greve and Pisa from here easily and took the trian to Florence.
The family are lovely and are available if required but largely leave you to yourselves. Magnificent property. Would recommend to anyone looking for a retreat with no too many other guests.

We were pleasently surprised by the warm athmosphere of the keyholder, the really marvellous surroundings of the villa, wonderful garden and very pretty swimmingpool. Of course we had two weeks of wonderfull weatherconditions. The touristic places to be are very well reachable by car. Public tranportations is very well.

This is an apartment in an holiday estate and not an authentic tuscan villa. The park is nice but the staff is unfriendly. The other three apartments lack any outside space. This one has a nice roof-terrace but comes at a high price. Restaurants in the neighborhood are hard to find. We will not go again!

The property was in an idyllic location, away from it all and so peaceful. Sat Nav took us most of the way but not far enough-straight to the drive, but we got there.
Villa itself was a bit basic, no kettle, had to boil a pan to make a drink, but we managed! Would suggest the owners buy new pillows as 1/2 inch thickness is not much comfort. Bedding and towels were old and worn.
Very disappointed that the pool was too cold to swim in, I am a regular swimmer and can swim in most pools/heat but 17degrees was just too cold for comfort. The sun did not reach the pool until about 14:00 each day in September, so not warming it up enough.

Although I have stated some negatives, overall the holiday was well worth it and this should not deter you from booking this villa. You don't take all your own home comforts away with you! Tuscany and this setting was wonderful. The owners do not speak any English and we communicated with an Italian/English dictionary but we did laugh about this.
