This is the place to stay away from crowds and experience the local flare of Tuscany and Firenza region. Villa was lovely, safe, and as described online. We enjoyed the location to Florence and surrounding villages. Go to the town of Saltino, 25 minutes from the villa, for an incredible drive, view, and food, or try Tenuta Risalpiano for another restaurant new the villa. Overall, this was an incredible place to stay, relax, and enjoy the views.
Das Ferienhaus ist eine absolute Empfehlung. Wir waren 10 Tage mit unserem kleinen Hund dort und haben die Zeit sehr genossen. Es war ruhig und gemĂŒtlich alles ist sehr gepflegt. Zur BegrĂŒĂung gab es Verpflegung fĂŒr den ersten Tag und andere Aufmerksamkeiten. Alles ist sehr liebevoll hergerichtet. Der Garten war fĂŒr unseren Hund super und die Gastgeberin sowie ihre Familie waren immer freundlich und haben sich erkundigt ob wir etwas benötigen. Sie konnten uns gute Tipps geben was wir in der Umgebung unternehmen können. Der Pool war toll und viel gröĂer als wir anhand der Fotos vermutet hatten. Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit!
Beautiful little cottage. Clean, comfortable and cool. Had everything we needed with a lovely friendly host on site. Convenient location from exploring.
Unser Aufenthalt war einfach traumhaft. Gianna und ihre Familie waren super freundlich und zuvorkommend. Wir haben sogar regelmĂ€Ăig frisches GemĂŒse aus dem Garten bekommen und auch unser Hund wurde total herzlich empfangen. Sowohl das Haus, als auch der Garten Pool waren sehr sauber und gepflegt. AuĂerdem haben wir tolle Empfehlungen fĂŒr AusflĂŒge & Essen bekommen. Wir hĂ€tten uns den Urlaub kaum schöner vorstellen können und wĂŒrden jeder Zeit wieder buchen.
We had two wonderful weeks with our dog. The hostess is already waiting for you upon arrival. Just in case you haven't had time to do your grocery shopping yet, there's already everything you need to make breakfast or pasta. Fresh vegetables from her garden are also ready for you. The cottage is authentically furnished and equipped with air conditioning, which was definitely needed. It's wonderfully peaceful, and the pool is cleaned every morning. The whole family is incredibly friendly, and the cottage was fantastic. In short, a very successful holiday, highly recommended!
It was a wonderful stay in a beautiful area. The house is very clean and has everything you need for your everyday life. Gianna was a very warm host. She gave us her homemade olive oil and fresh vegetables from her own garden. It was very delicious. She also had useful tips about other beautiful towns in Tuscany that aren't visited by too many tourists.We would love to return to this wonderful holiday home. I can only recommend it to everyone.Distinti saluteSarah & Sascha
Gianna and her family were so welcoming, friendly and helpful and did everything possible to ensure that we were having a great holiday, from suggestions for restaurants to sights to see. Gianna was always available, but not intrusive. We enjoyed a lovely welcome pack, including a bottle of her own olive oil, wine and beer, plus essentials such as milk, butter and eggs. The garden had lovely views across the valley and to the hills beyond. The kitchen was well equipped, though without an oven which wasn't a problem for us. The spiral staircase from the living room down to the bedroom and bathroom, though quaint, may be a problem for people with mobility problems. A car is essential to get around, including to the railway station at Pontassieve [10 minutes drive and free parking] for journeys to Florence and beyond, saving the hassle of parking in town. It would also be convenient to drive to Siena, which is well worth seeing, but can also be reached by train. We found a great restaurant just off this carpark called Bastian Contirario, plus another in Pelago called Leonia Bistrot. Both reasonably priced.We would thoroughly recommend staying at La Casina with Gianna.
We had the most wonderful stay. Every thing is there plus some extras! Bottle of wine ,oil, coffee, milk the host also gave us eggs.There was also fresh flowers a lovely touch. Gianna was so helpful telling us places to visit and restaurants to eat at. You will not find a better host she really made us feel at home. We hope that one day we will be able to return.
wir haben uns sehr wohl gefĂŒhlt. Das Haus war genauso wie beschrieben. Es war sehr sauber und alles da was benötigt wurde. Die Gastgeber waren sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend.
This VRBO and its surroundings are absolutely beautiful. The herbs growing along the wall, the olive trees and beautiful potted flowers just add to the ambiance. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful. A rental car is needed for the area.
Our host greeted us most warmly and treated us with kindness and consideration throughout our 2 week stay.
The pool was very welcome in the warm weather and the accommodation was excellent . We had a lovely holiday .
