Avis Wake Up to Dream-like Country Views and Enjoy the Privacy of the Pool

Deux semaines de rêves. Une piscine idyllique, une vue sur les oliviers. Un tres agréable séjour. Peut être juste une petite amélioration à apporter concernant les espaces rangement (nourritures) dans la cuisine.

We enjoyed the rustic Tuscan home surrounded by olive trees very much. The pool was fabulous. Thank you Paolina for keeping it open so late in the year. We swam everyday. We enjoyed the many little towns near by. The kitchen had everything we needed. Thank for for the coffee, oil and the many other things already stocked for us. Much appreciated!

This rural, single level home is in southern Tuscany nestled within an acreage of beautiful olive trees. A large grocery store is located 5km away and short scenic drives will get you to Manciano, Pitigliano and/or the coast. There is lots of parking. There are two pleasant patios in the rear for sunbathing, dining or sipping Chianti. The pool is positioned in an attractive location in the gardens. It was closed at this time of the year but it was clear that some of the surrounding concrete needed work. There is lots of room inside and the place is well furnished and supplied in the style of a cottage. It needs some TLC and improved cleaning protocols. Two examples stand out. Firstly, the wall mounted holder of the handheld shower did not work in all 3 bathrooms; it was not possible to enjoy a hands free shower. Secondly, we were taken aback by the foul smell from the dishwasher when my wife opened its door. Turns out the trap at the bottom was filled with decaying food which had not been cleaned out from previous guests. We had to clean it and run the machine with soap only for 3 cycles before we were comfortable cleaning any dishes. Both of these issues detracted from all the positives and they remained topics of conversation for much of our stay. While here, I highly recommend a trip to experience the ancient Saturnia hot springs, dinner at Trattoria da Paolino in Manciano and a seafood lunch/dinner by the sea at I Due Pini restaurant in Porto S. Stefano.

Beautiful house and views! Our host was wonderful, we would definitely love to stay there again!

Super Unterkunft im Hinterland aber dennoch nicht weit vom Meer. Super Strassen und Touren zum Rennvelo fahren

A beautiful house, clean and well maintained. The description of the house is fully accurate. All equipment necessary to make the stay comfortable is supplied and in good working condition. The pool was also well maintained and clean. Communication with the owners was always easy, friendly and fast. The surroundings are beautiful and the night sky was the best I have seen in a long time (since there is few artificial light around). The pool is a few meters from the house over a small bridge, which made it easy for us to communicate to our kids where not to go alone for safety reasons. All in all, house, pool, and garden are perfect for just spending your day relaxing. As described, the property is located "in the middle of nowhere", which makes much of its appeal. However, within about 20-40 minutes by car you can reach a lot of picturesque small Tuscan towns as well as the beaches around Monte Argentario. The nicest beach in the vicinity is probably Feniglia (just on the south end of Monte Argentario, close to Porto Ercole). It is a reasonably clean, sandy beach with lots of space of which only little is claimed by "stabilmenti balneari". The water is shallow, so an ideal spot for kids to try to learn to swim and build castles in the sand. We also recommend visiting the hot springs at Saturnia and, if you are into snorkeling, renting a "gommone" (zodiac boat) for easy access to Monte Argentario's rocky coast. For lovers of modern art, Niki de Saint Phalle's "Giardino dei Tarocchi" is nearby as well. All in all, we had a wonderful holiday and will gladly come back.

La villa d Paolina è molto curata e situata in una posizione strategica per visitare la maremma, si raggiungono facilmente Capalbio, Saturnia, Pitigliano. La casa è molto silenziosa e perfetta per rilassarsi, ideale per 6 persone con una piscina molto piacevole

Die Unterkunft entspricht vollkommen den Angaben und Fotos im Netz. Absolut ruhige Lage und tolle Aussicht. Der Kontakt zum Vermieter lief reibungslos, die Reaktionen waren zeitnah. Einziger Wermutstropfen war leider das kühle und teilweise regnerische Maiwetter und die dann notwendige Heizung. Die lief nicht gleich reibungslos, konnte aber doch zur Zufriedenheit in Betrieb genommen werden.

La location è molto suggestiva, con le colline di sfondo alla piscina e grandi spazi aperti alla visuale. Il luogo è silenziosissimo, riservato ma non isolato da tutto per cui a 15 minuti di auto si trova supermercato e altri servizi. la casa è splendida con camere da letto doppie comode e luminose. i bagni sono funzionali. le zanzariere sono molto pratiche e utili per lasciare aperte le finestre di sera. c'è un ambiente unico sala, soggiorno e cucina di grande bellezza e praticità. ci sono vetrate ovunque e si vede un panorama splendido anche da dentro la casa. La casa è arredata come fosse abitata tutti i giorni con libri e altri "segni" di vita vissuta che ti fanno sentire a tuo agio immediatamente. il caminetto fuori permette grandi braci. la piscina è grande e l'acqua non è eccessivamente clorata per risultare gradevolissima. la posizione del casale è ottima sia per raggiungere il mare che per visitare borghi splendidi come Capalbio, Pitigliano e anche l'Argentario. le terme di Saturnia sono a due passi. Per noi la casa è stata una calamita che ci ha spinti a rimanere a goderci il riposo e la tranquillità lasciando perdere code e affollamento sulle spiagge d'agosto. Lasciarla è stato veramente difficile. speriamo di poterci tornare. Paolina è una ospite disponibile e simpatica. nel complesso una esperienza indimenticabile. La consiglio vivamente.
