Avis Cosy apartment for 8 guests with pool, WIFI, A/C, panoramic view and parking

Le cadre est enchanteur, le personnel très gentil. La situation géographique est idéal car situé en pleine campagne mais au coeur du triangle Florence, Pise, Sienne. La piscine permet de bien se détendre et se rafraîchir après une journée de balades. Le gite était très bien avec juste un petit bémol sur l'équipement car nous étions 8 et il y a tout juste assez de vaisselle. Nous avions la climatisation que nous avons bien appréciée mais ce n'était pas précisé sur le site lors de la réservation, or tous les logements n'en sont pas équipés. Nous y reviendrons certainement et avec plaisir!

We stayed one week in one of the appartments outside of the castle. We had the big one (No. 1.B) with 4 bedrooms. So a lot of space for 4 people like us, it might be a bit more cosy with the supposed 8 people max. capacity. The environment around the castle is great, pure Tuscan, great views of the countryside and most of the Tuscan attractions are close by to be reached within a daytrip. Rooms were clean and in reasonable shape. The fridge was big enough and had a huge freezer compartment. However a few drawbacks: - If it is warm (which is mostly the case in Tucany in summertime), you definitely need the aircondition in each bedroom (with is a nice feature in that appartment), however it comes with a premium payment per day on top! I would expect this to be included in the price! - kitchen facilities (especially frying pans) were in a very bad shape and need to be replaced urgently. - no resonable wine glases available ... in Italy, please! - the furniture inside was probably supposed to look antique ... but is was more looking shabby, - the dishwasher did not really clean the dishes, so we preferred not to use it, - the most annoying thing was actually the outside area to sit and relax, which is actually pretty small, squeezed into a corner at the front side of the building, no real natural shade, so it is very warm in the morning sun and not comfortable or private at all, - saying outside: be prepared to fight against the mosquitos all day. There is small pond nearby so they love to be there ... (I don't want to blame anybody for that, just to let you know). Would we spent our holidays there again? NO!

With a great view from the porch, big place (4 adults and 3 kids in our party), pool, air conditioning (huge help during the hot summer!) and a restaurant with great food and service, there's nothing to complain about. Oh, and price can't be beat. Highly recommended!

Magnificent structure, beautiful grounds and pool, and terrific restaurant. Only 25 minute tonGlorence and close to. Path San Giminiano and Siena.
