Dissapointing stay
Our recent stay at a villa in Tuscany was disappointing due to several issues. On arrival, we noticed fire ash and an old water bottle left outside, setting a poor first impression. Worse still were the unbearable smells from the drains in all three bathrooms, making them nearly unusable. The outdoor area was also problematic. A stagnant pond next to the pool attracted mosquitoes, making it difficult to enjoy the space. The barbecue area was unclean, and cigarette ends were floating in the pool, showing a lack of proper maintenance. Adding to the disturbance, the villa is located just 20 feet from a noisy working farmyard, with machinery operating throughout the day and evening, which ruined any chance of peace and quiet. Safety concerns included a kettle that didn’t turn off automatically and water marks in the master bedroom caused by a leaking air conditioner. Furthermore, charging an electric car here is expensive, with rates as high as 2 euros per kWh during the day. While the villa has potential, these significant issues prevent us from recommending it until major improvements are made. The pictures are very misleading.

Nice Family Stay
Thank you Isa and Luana for being a great attentive host during our stay. We have been family of 4+5 on a week stay bank holiday May weekend. Overall it was a verynice stay with highlight of swimming pool, large green property, pizza oven, winter garden and comfortable lounge-kitchen area with multiple sleeping options. We had some roof issues during rainy days which have been resolved, also I would say to maybe include map to front entrance gate as it created a lot of challenges getting from back gate via google maps:) Also it is worth saying there is working farm next door so some noise during morning hrs are expirienced. Overall very nice stay with base for discovering northern tuscany and plenty of space for kids to use their energy and have fun. Best and many thanks

Very Nice Villa
We enjoyed our stay. We had plenty of room for our family of 6 adults and 3 children. Property was nice although there is noise from the neighbors running heavy equipment. Also the showers draining situation is not great. Much water on the floors! Positives: Well equipped kitchen. Nice pool and outdoor eating and gathering space. Lots of room for children to roam and play. Location is good for exploring Tuscany. The highlight of the stay was Isla cooking her lasagne for us! Absolutely delicious! She was also very helpful answering all of our questions.

Needs refreshing
While we were disappointed with the initial tired impression this is a wonderful space for a family holiday and we did have terrific fun with masses of space, traditional kitchen for home cooked meals and lots of fresh figs straight off the trees every morning (we were lucky with timing for figs) Stagnant large lily pond, tired paint and scum line around pool (which was subsequently cleaned) can all be refreshed and put right. Be prepared for farm machinery noises from the adjacent farm buildings and the close proximity of power pylons, which we got used to.

Our time in Tuscany
A wonderful country home, with great proximity to all of the places to visit on our bucket list. Dario was fantastic in communication both prior to, and during the visit, as was Isla. The wine vineyard with a fabulous luncheon and wine tasting, cooking lesson, and pizza night at the home a must for all who visit! The a/c in the bedrooms upstairs was perfect, down stairs remains cool throughout the day even without it. The pool was perfect for relaxing "Under the Tuscan Sun". Definitely recommend for a visit to beautiful Tuscany, the location is perfect - Pisa, Lucca, and beaches within a 30 minute drive, Florence, San Gimignano, and Siena an hour, all through beautiful countryside (we chose not to take the 'quickest' route each time).

Fantastic property in huge grounds
Lovely lovely property with enormous well tended grounds! Sabrina the housekeeper (living next door) really made our stay special....always on hand to answer questions (texts always responded to immediately with great advice), ensuring the pool/house are spotless and producing the most amazing dinner for us (from her pizza oven) one evening. The house is great with powerful AC In all four upstairs bedrooms. The covered outdoor area is lovely in the evening and the pool (with jacuzzi function) awesome. The town of altopachio is nearby and has all you need. The local villages (2km away) have some great restaurants and small shops. Highly recommended!

Fabulous family villa in Tuscany!
We were 4 adults with 2 children and had an amazing week staying at this villa. It is well located with easy drive to Pisa, Lucca and Florence. All communication with Dario is efficient and easy. We were greeted at the property and shown around to ease our check in process. 2 things I highly recommend - the sailboat trip to Cinque Terre (you beat the crowds, have an amazing lunch and a very personal experience) and also have a dinner cooked by Sabrina (we did this the evening we arrived and it was one of our best meals in Tuscany!) My kids had an amazing time enjoying the pool and the garden - thank you for a lovely stay.

Lovely country living in Tuscany
Wonderful rustic villa with ample room for 8 (we were only 6). Out in the country about 10 minute drive to the autostrada Pisa - Firenze. With a car you can get to most Tuscan sites in 1.5 hrs (Florence, Siena, Lucca, Pisa, the beaches etc) and yet you can also simply chill, stay-in and enjoy the awesome pool and wonderful large property. Hosts (Sabrina and Daniele) were very helpful and readily available as needed. Only watch out is that bathrooms tend to get very wet when you take a shower. But that is manageable with a little care. Highly recommend for a nice getaway!

A lovely villa to spend a relaxing week in Tuscany with friends.
The owners were very welcoming and throughout the week were very hospitable. The family light the pizza oven for us twice to make and cook our own pizzas which were yummy. The kids loved the pool area and the garden to run around.Location is great for visiting lots of lovely towns and villages. Not too far either from lovely beaches too. The house is very traditional but very spacious . Air con in the bedrooms were a big plus!!. The only downside was the number of mosquitos we had to flight off - repellant needed!! Thank you for a lovely holiday

Wonderful week in nice house
We stayed 8 people, both adults and kids, in this nice house. We all enjoyed the stay. The house was clean, the owners greeted us nicely and provided good service throughout the week. The sleeping rooms had air conditioning, which was necessary to use. The pool was cleaned multiple times during our stay. We also enjoyed the enormous garden. We can absolutely recommend this house.

A Charming Tuscan Farmhouse
We stayed for a week in June to celebrate our sons' 21st Birthdays. The property is beautifully situated in the countryside but only a 10 minutes drive from a town with all facilities - so ideal for self catering. The wonderful managers Sabrina and Daniele met us on arrival and showed us around the property. The property itself was immaculately clean and very well equipped. There are ample seating areas both inside and outside and a lovely pool and huge garden. We used the BBQ and pizza oven which were great - and we especially appreciated the extra touches like BBQ coals being provided and a welcome basket of food. Although we were only 5 people we felt there would be ample room for 8. We only wish we could have stayed longer!

Tuscany in the raw.
Wonderful property and home. Even more wonderful caretakers Sabrina and Danny. Home is rustic. We cooked in every morning and night. Pizza oven in yard was great and was the grill. I’m somewhat of a chef and I enjoyed using very old pots and pans like my grandparents. Yard is huge. We were 3 adults and two 12 year old boys.

Nette Unterkunft, in ruhiger Lage
Die Kommunikation mit der Vermieterin, war gut. Man konnte Sie alles fragen. Die Lage, der Unterkunft, ist sehr abgelegen und dadurch sehr ruhig. Zur Unterkunft, gehört ein großes Grundstück, wodurch man sich sehr frei bewegen kann und nicht eingeengt fühlt. Wir haben uns dort sehr wohlgefühlt. Der Pool wurde, alle paar Tage saubergemacht. In der einen Woche die wir da waren 3 mal. Für Familien oder Freunde, ist das Haus mega empfehlenswert, da man sich nicht immer auf den Füßen steht und auch viele Freiraum hat um sich mal alleine zu entspannen (wenn man das möchte).

Schönes, in die Jahre gekommenes Haus
Das Haus(liebevoll eingerichtet) und das Grundstück sindauf den ersten Blick sehr schön. Bei genaueren Hinsehen merkt man, dass der Zahn der Zeit schon etwas nagt und die Vermieter, wegen ihres hohen Alters leider mit der Instandhaltung nicht mehr hinterher kommen. Wünschenswert wären aktuelle Fotos, da sich doch einiges verändert hat. Der große Garten ist klasse für Hund und Kinder. Es gibt außerdem viele Obstbäume an denen man sich bedienen kann. Der Pool war auch sehr schön und wurde jeden Tag vom Vermieter gereinigt. Die Stechmücken waren eine Plage und haben uns ganz schön gepiesackt. Im Großen und Ganzen ist das Anwesen sehr schön, aber durch die alten Fotos ist man im ersten Augenblick etwas enttäuscht.

Tolles Ferienhaus mit kleinen Mängeln
Wir waren zu 9 (nur Erwachsene) und zwei Hunde 10 Tage dort und hatten einen super entspannten Urlaub. Das Gelände ist wirklich riesig, perfekt für Hunde, und das Haus sehr großzügig und geräumig. Die Kommunikation, sowohl mit den Hausbesitzern als auch Isa, lief zu jeder Zeit reibungslos und war sehr freundlich. Wir wurden zwei Mal vor Ort im Haus von zwei italienischen Damen (Tiziana & Freundin) mit einem 4-Gang-Menü bekocht. Alles absolut frisch und es war super lecker. Das können wir wirklich nur jedem empfehlen!! Pizzaofen und Grill steht auch zur Verfügung und hat bestens funktioniert. Es gab mehrere Kleinigkeiten, welche man verbessern könnte. Der schon oft erwähnte fehlende Duschvorhang und in zwei Bädern, einen Abzieher in jedem Bad. Ein Staubsauger wäre wünschenswert, um den Boden wirklich ordentlich von Staub befreien zu können. Die Ausstattung in der Küche war insgesamt gut, aber leider gab es nicht mal 9 Weingläser, was etwas schade war. Den Weinglasvorrat haben wir dann aufgestockt :) Am Pool gibt es nur 6 Liegen. Letzter Punkt: Ein zweiter Schlüssel für das Tor wäre auch super. Wir haben uns wohl gefühlt & hatten einen schönen Urlaub. Wer Abgeschiedenheit und Entspannung sucht, ist hier definitiv richtig!

Tolles Haus mit riesigem Grundstück und schönem Pool
Wir (4 Erwachsene, 2 Kinder, ein Hund) hatten das Haus für zwei Wochen gebucht. Aufgrund der durchweg sehr positiven Rezensionen und der tollen Bilder, sind wir mit einer sehr hohen Erwartungshaltung angereist. Das Haus ist in unseren Augen sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet, sehr großzügig und weitestgehend sauber. Einige Stellen hätten sauberer sein können (Küche, Bad) sowie im Außenbereich der Bereich um die Waschmaschine. Das Duschen ohne Duschvorhang gestaltete sich etwas unentspannt, war aber dennoch machbar. Alles in allem ein ganz tolles Haus, ein super Grundstück mit tollem, eingezäunten Pool. Hervorzuheben war die jederzeit reibungslose Kommunikation mit den Hausverwaltern (check-in, check-out, sehr schnelle Hilfe bei Problemen, sehr hilfreiche Tipps bzgl. Restaurants und Aktivitäten in der Umgebung). Wir haben den Urlaub sehr genossen und würden jederzeit gerne wiederkommen.
