We were six adults and three children who stayed in the villa for a week in June/July. Everything lived up to the high expectations we had from the presentation on the web site. We absolutely loved the garden, the swimming pool, and the pool area. There are many outdoor seating options to choose from, whether you want to stay in the sun or in the shade. We particulary liked the stylish lounge area. The kitchen is spacious and very well equipped. (The only thing we missed was a whisk.) We prepared most of our meals "at home", and enjoyed them at the dining table in the outdoor kitchen area. The barbecue also worked well. The airconditioning in the bedrooms and kitchen had more than the capacity needed to keep up with outdoor temperatures above 35 degrees Celsius. (Just had to remember to switch them off while running the dishwasher or washing machine.) The wardrobes in the bedrooms don't have rails or hangers for dresses or shirts. The bedrooms were cool with comfortable beds, and everything in the stylish bathrooms were functioning well. The nearby secondary road is narrow with limited space for pedestrians. Luckily, there are quiet minor roads and paths running parallel. We enjoyed walking these to reach a couple of the local wineries for tasting. Also, the dry river bed of the Omre river was excellent for jogging. The owners were easy to reach, always very friendly and helpful. They quickly responded to every request we made, like finding open restaurants on a Monday, or removing wasp nests under construction. In the absence of a chef to prepare the in-house dinner we had booked, Nora and her daughter stepped in and served a superb four-course home made dinner that we'll never forget. The fried vegetables for the starter were by far the crispiest and lightest we've ever tasted, and the children absolutely loved it. We definitely recommend staying at Villa Nora, and we hope to come back another time.

Excelent Villa, We really enjoyed our stay. The Villa was very clean, the sheets and blankets are new, the dishes and glasses in the kitchen are beautiful. It should have in the kitchen, a scissor and a coffee machine, the Italian coffee machine that was there, was broken. Another point is that all bathroon could have towel dryer. It is important to notice that the owner's office is in a part of the house, but it didn't bother us. And that there are some cameras in the garden. The outside is very beautiful, but we couldn't enjoy it, because it was winter time.

The villa was really spacious. The bathrooms were well equipped. The bedrooms were spacious. It is a pitty that not all bedrooms had curtains. (day light (5.30am) early in the morning when you still want to sleep) The kitchen was cool and rather well equipped. Some more pots to serve dinner to the table could be usefull. The support from Elena from Posarelli villas was perfect. They gave us information with regards to restaurants, activities, and helped us out when we needed something in the villa (glasses, bedsheets, ..)

Villa ben tenuta tutte le stanze da letto hanno a disposizione un bagno privato piscina carina unica grande pecca la presenza di un solo televisore in salotto molto datato sul quale non si vedono pochissimi canali stranieri e nulla di italiano consiglio di mettere delle TV nelle stanze da letto e magari una Smart TV in salone vista la vicinanza alla rete internet un costo irrisorio per un servizio utile e sicuramente gradito dai clienti

We enjoyed the stay in this villa. The pool was great as well the kitchen was big and fancy enough. Some electricity plug in was not working and we had too many mosquitos. But overall a villa that we can recommend to book for 2 even 3 families. Elena our housekeeper was very frendly and supportive, thanks again.

Mycket rymlig, trevlig och välutrustad villa. Vi var 10 vuxna + 2 barn och det fungerade fint. Liknande dubbelrum för 10 med bra sängar + ett med våningssäng, perfekt för barn. Badrum i varje sovrum. Stora sällskapsytor inne och ute samt fint poolområde. Kunde funnits lite mer flyttbara utemöbler. Husansvariga på platsen var fantastiskt trevliga och hjälpsamma.

A good gathering place for ten

We used this villa as a landing spot for one week in Tuscany for ten adults. It allowed us to comfortably eat and gather together at the beginning and end of each day. The location was perfect to travel both by train and car. The outdoor space was great. The kitchen and accommodations are rustic and charming for a Tuscan villa. The bedroom and bath accommodations are also somewhat rustic but comfortable enough for a busy week of touring Tuscany. The outside space is fantastic and we also enjoyed the pool table for evening games. Our contacts that managed the house were very helpful and attentive to our feedback and the house was very clean when we arrived. Thank you. We had a wonderful week.

Villa interior a disappointment

The house is spacious, and easily accommodated our party of 10. The interior does not show as well as it does in the online photos. Our main complaint was insufficient electrical service to the house, which caused a shutdown if too many electrical appliances were being run at once. This was especially true of the air conditioning. The outdoor areas were excellent, and we enjoyed extensive use of the swimming pool and covered dining alcove. The staff was responsive and accommodating.

We had an unforgettable vacation in Villa Nora. The villa is well equipped and very suitable for large families. The pool area is great (though the pool light is not connected) and the garden is well kept. You might want to know that the outdoor kitchen does not function including the sink, gas stove and pizza oven. We had a small problem with a bad smell seemingly from the drain in one of the bathrooms, but Elena and Johnny provided quick and qualified service.

Nice pool, AC works propperly, kitchen well equipped, WiFi was good, and lot of space, nice garden, Service and support given by Elena (our contact person) was great. Electric switches challenged us and some renovation would be needed, thats not up to the standard any more. All in all, a great location, would go there again, specifically in case you like to visit Florence, which is just 30 min away by car, what you need in any case.

Great family vacation!

Great location from which to explore the most famous towns in Tuscany; no more than an hour to Siena, Volterra, and Pisa, less than an hour to San Gimignano and Lucca! Kids loved the walks in the hills just beyond the villa, not to mention the fabulous pool. Great wine tasting within walking distance.
