Great Italian Vacation

A great place for a family vacation. An intimate cottage on a hill with a very large garden and a private swimming pool allows for a great rest. A small town with a delicious pizza (Bar L'Incontro) and a great wine bar (Benedetto Vino) A great starting point to Florence, Siena, San Gimignano, Volterre and the seaside (Follonica, Cecina). Very friendly and cordial owner Michele always helpful and providing support in times of need (eg where is the best food, where to go on a trip). I heartily recommend it to anyone who wants to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Fantastisch verblijf op een rustige, sfeervolle plekWe hebben volop genoten van ons verblijf! Michele is een zeer vriendelijke en gastvrije verhuurder. Alles rondom het verblijf verliep soepel en prettig – zo kwam hij ons zelfs het laatste stukje begeleiden om zeker te weten dat we de juiste weg reden. Bij aankomst stond er een gekoelde fles Prosecco voor ons klaar, en bij vertrek kregen we nog een mooie fles wijn mee. Zo attent!De accommodatie is van alle gemakken voorzien. In alle slaapkamers én in de woonkamer is airconditioning aanwezig, wat erg prettig is op warme dagen. De grote tuin is werkelijk een pareltje: een fijn zwembad, een hangmat, schommels en meer dan voldoende ligbedden. Aan de voorzijde van het huis is een overkapping waar je heerlijk buiten kunt zitten, ook overdag in de schaduw.De ligging is wat afgelegen, maar dat zorgt juist voor een heerlijke rust. In het nabijgelegen plaatsje Monticiano vind je een kleine supermarkt en een café/restaurant waar je pizza kunt eten of afhalen. In de directe omgeving is het aanbod aan activiteiten beperkt, dus een auto is zeker aan te raden voor uitstapjes.Kortom: we hebben een fantastische vakantie gehad en kijken er met veel plezier op terug!

Posto incantevole

Abbiamo trascorso in questa struttura otto giorni di pace e tranquillità. Anche i nostri cani sono stati contenti, liberi di giocare nell’immenso parco a disposizione. Casa confacente alle nostre necessità, fresca nonostante la calura esterna che abbiamo sconfitto con frequenti bagni nella piscina ad uso esclusivo. Gentilissimi i proprietari sia all’arrivo che alla partenza. Comunicazione ottima assolutamente non invadente. Privacy estrema. Certamente torneremo a salutare Michele e la sua gentilissima signora in una futura vacanza in Toscana.
