Die Eigentümer sind sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Kommunikation kann nur auf italienisch (oder per Übersetzungsapp) stattfinden, was der Verständigung aber keinen Abbruch tut. Die letzten 1.5km zur Unterkunft sind auf einem holprigen Schotterweg zurückzulegen, an den man sich gewöhnen muss. Das Grundstück und die Umgebung des Hauses sind wunderschön, mitten in der Natur und wunderbar abgelegen. Die Unterkunft ist rustikal und ländlich eingerichtet, aber alles ist tiptop sauber und funktionsfähig. Ich würde die Unterkunft ausnahmslos weiterempfehlen. ##### Michèle S.

Due to the old structure, which has its charm, the children's room is relatively small and another room can only be used as a passage room. The pool is relatively shallow, but this was ideal for our children (8 and 10). The location is somewhat hidden and the way to it a gravel road (partly a bit steep). The landlords were nice, live right next door and unfortunately do not know English. Therefore, the communication was a bit difficult, but everything worked out. We were surprised that the cleaning was not included in the total price (had to pay it cash), but maybe we have overseen this. We enjoyed our time there and would certainly come back. ##### Christian V.

The villa is a little dated and the beds weren’t the comfiest. Lucca and his wife were amazing hosts and extremely helpful. The villa was a little too remote for us but if that’s what you want, this place is perfect but you do need a good car for the 1 mile off road approach! Sadly the sun leaves the villa at around 5pm which for sun lovers like us was a disappointment but not a lot you can do about that!!!! ##### Simon H. ### 8/10 Good #### Jo H., Solihull uk 29 Aug 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peaceful location Typically Tuscan! Very well looked after, very clean, great change of laundry mid-week but extremely uncomfortable beds. A very long and bumpy drive to the villa and it is isolated but lovely views And fantastic hosts. ##### Jo H.
