We had a wonderful time - beautiful home in a sweet small village.

This apartment is in a lovely medieval town. The apartment itself was very nice and well-equipped. There was plenty of room for the three of us. It can be a bit difficult to locate but Sergio and Mimosa were very helpful. Parking is offsite and a bit of a walk but you can unload your luggage nearer to the house. Highly recommend.

Overall was a very nice space; it was clean; kitchen and bathroom updated and well-appointed. Check-in was seamless (except for some difficulties finding the address). Sergio was prompt and responsive to questions/needs. The town was charming; hilltop location afforded fantastic views! Some drawbacks: spotty WiFi, parking was a hike from the home. Overall, however, it was a pleasant stay.

Das hochwertig renovierte Haus bietet eine einladende Atmosphäre, angenehm große Schlafzimmer, und eine sehr gute Ausstattung (Spül- und Waschmaschine, viel Geschirr und Küchengerätschaften, Fliegengitter, kleine Bibliothek, Kinderspielzeug). Der kleine Platz vor dem Haus bietet die Möglichkeit, im Freien zu sitzen. Als Gruppe von vier Erwachsenen hatten wir ausreichend Platz und genossen einen sehr angenehmen Aufenthalt. Wegen der ortstypisch schlechten Internetvrbindung empfiehlt sich ausreichend Datenvolumen auf dem Telefon ;-)

In una valle così eccezionale come la Val D'Orcia, non si poteva trovare soggiorno migliore! Ottima posizione, sistemazione ancor più bella, dotata di ogni comodità e arredata con buon gusto. Altrettanto ottima comunicazioni con i proprietari, che si sono mostrati gentilissimi e disponibili. Ci siamo trovati benissimo, proprio come a casa.
