Tuscan Perfection!
Il Rocchetto was the highlight of our recent trip to Italy! From the moment we inquired about this villa, the rental agency (Anke and her team) provided the best and most thorough communication - no detail was left out!
Upon arrival we were greeted by the lovely Chiara, who kindly explained all of the details of the Villa to us. It was sooo beautiful - and perfect for our group of two families with a total of 3 small children. They adored running in the grass and playing in the pool. The grounds are meticulously kept, the pool was pristine. The house itself is full of charm, with delightful antique touches and every comfort you could need.
We loved preparing easy meals, and eating under the outdoor pergola. Lucignano surprised all of us with it’s charm! What a great city. We had several lovely evenings there and great meals. Our only regret was not spending more time here! 6 days was truly not long enough!! We will 100% return!!
A few tips/notes/comments:
- the tap water is not suitable to drink. I didn’t realize this the first day and we all drank it (with no ill effect) but it should be verbally explained to visitors upon arrival
- there is a big gate at the top of the long driveway. We didn’t know to expect this and actually turned around the first time we were driving up to the villa. Just something to add to the description.
- You must be very thorough in cleaning up after your meals, as they are ants (but it’s the country! This is to be expected). The twice weekly housekeeper helps ensure this doesn’t get out of hand.
