The Villa is in a beautiful location with amazing views. Perfect for exploring Northern Tuscany and the the hill villages close by. The nearest town is within a 30 minute walk, but be warned coming back is a steep up hill all the way.
The Villa is rustic and tired in places. Some of the beds, pillows and linen could do with being updated but I think this is reflected in the price.
Unfortunately, the weather was not the best “pool” weather, so we only used the pool a few times. Be warned the ground around the pool is a little rough and footwear here is a must.
The outside table is large enough to easily get 9 people around it, but would benefit from being paved. As it sits on quite rough ground. And the bbq, whilst sturdily built, sits on its own, some distance from the kitchen. Situated halfway up the bank from the pool on a steep grassy slope. The lack of a grill to fit the bbq brickwork made the already awkward positioning an untenable proposition for it to be used.
Access to the Villa is via a short mud track, off the main road, through a lightly wooded area. This is steep and the parking area is difficult to access, with two trees one either side of a short slope up to a grassed area in front of the Villa. This is made more difficult in wet weather. And you may have to consider parking outside the Villa at the top of the track.
On the whole though this is a beautiful rustic Villa, with amazing views in a great location and plenty of room for several families.
