She and her family were always there if we needed help or a good tip for the environment. The Apartment was super clean and it had everything you would need. The Dogs Mosa and Nina were super sweet and our kids 7 and 10 didn't want to leave :) The Pool was always clean and you can even really swim there. Especially during the hot daytimes the pool was the best you can have :) The horse farm around the corner (SB Performance) was a good tip. We can definitely recommend every bit of this place. It was the best start for our Tuscany trip. ##### Benjamin G.

Das absolute Highlight war der Pool – perfekt zum Abkühlen und Entspannen. Das Haus liegt eingebettet in die toskanische Landschaft, herrlich ruhig und abgeschieden – ideal für alle, die Erholung und Natur pur suchen.

Man merkt, dass hier mit Liebe gepflegt wird. Auch mit Kleinkind hat alles gut funktioniert.Die Lage ist super, um die Toskana zu entdecken – bekannte Städte sind mit dem Auto gut erreichbar, und auch der Strand ist in etwa einer Stunde Fahrt erreichbar.Insgesamt ein toller Aufenthalt für alle, die Natur, Ruhe und italienisches Flair schätzen! ##### Jen Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Blandine A. 4 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent séjour L'endroit est idéal pour passer des vacances au calme.

It was just what we needed. The children really enjoyed the grounds and the animals, and the swimming pool is absolutely amazing. Loredana kindly cooked for us a couple of times at a very reasonable cost - it was some of the best food we had in Italy (and we were there for two months!). Didn't explore much, as were mostly chilling out, but Florence and Pisa were easily reached. ##### Jamie R.

Gekoeld door het huis zelf (mits de ramen goed dicht zijn tussen 9.00-18.00). Er lopen twee honden, kippen en poezen los op het terrein, ook bij je appartement.

Die alten Mauern halten die Unterkunft angenehm kühl. Zum Wandern/Spazieren ist die unmittelbare Umgebung zwar etwas unzugänglich, zum Joggen sind die weitläufigen Feldwege/Pisten wiederum ideal. Man wird sowieso kaum ohne Auto anreisen. Als unser Auto defekt war, haben sich die Gastgeber sehr hilfsbereit gezeigt.

We were two families with kids and found the house quite comfortable, basic but didn't miss a thing. It is an old country house, very fresh inside. Outside, there are a few friendly farm animals walking around and plenty of joys, a swimming pool which was great for kids, a table-tennis place, a playground for younger kids to be at sight and relaxing areas where to spend hours talking with friends. Probably the road leading to the house which is unpaved in the last 1-2km could bring trouble with lower cars, but it is countryside house. ##### P O.

The pool was perfect with a baby pool inside the big pool. This made our smallest child super happy. The apartment was VERY clean. The gardens were beautiful and our kids loved the animals: donkeys, dog and cats with new born kittens. The place is one hour away from all the major Tuscany cities which was super convenient. The owners living next door were very kind but looked a little bit tired. ##### Jean Charles D.

The apartment is part of a secluded house off a rough track about 45 minutes drive from Pisa airport. It is ideally situated for visits to all the main attractions - Florence, Siena and Pisa which can easily be reached by car or by taking the train at Castelfiorentino (cheap parking, regular services, reasonably priced). Lots of lovely smaller villages and towns all within about 45 mins radius of the property. The apartment was spacious and cool. Rooms were simply furnished, but with plenty of towels and linen. Showers worked great, plenty of hot water and good pressure with access to washing machine when needed. No radio or TV so great opportunity to catch up on reading/relaxing. Internet was freely available and although not superfast, was appreciated to keep in touch with family, etc. Cooking was by gas hob or oven only (no microwave, no kettle) but we made some delicious meals using local produce thanks to a good size fridge and freezer for food and drink from the local Coop and PAMS supermarket, or local Montaione market on Friday mornings (all about 10-15 mins drive away). Also found some good resturants in Montaione but none within walking distance - so a car is essential really. Minesi and Massimo are lovely people, friendly, very helpful and informative, funny and willing to help with any request (e.g. borrowing a hair drier, how to light the oven!, etc.) The grounds of the house are gorgeous, lots of seating areas, pool side, under a shady tree or canopy, outside the aparment, always somewhere to sit and relax and we used the table tennis table everyday - as if we hadn't done enough exercise every day with all the sight seeing. A great location from which to explore all aspects of the Tuscan countryside. It's run by lovely, generous hearted people and we would thorough recommend if you are looking to 'escape' and don't mind travelling to explore this lovely part of Tuscany. ##### liz r.

The site is perfectly located such that major touristic cities like Lucca, San Gimignano, Florence and Siena can be easily reached by car. ##### Maximilian G.

We have to thank Massimo and Loredana for the lovely time we spent there at the beginning of July. Their friendliness and all the attentions they had for me and my family (four children) contributed to make of these holidays in Tuscany a really nice experience. Do not look for luxuries in Villa Vallacchi, the house is simple as it should be, respecting perfectly the atmosphere of an old modest farmhouse. Havind said this, the house has all you need, starting with the thick walls that keep the summer heat away and ending up with the nice swimming pool built in the garden. Green surroundings make the building fit perfectly in this beautiful countryside. A number of interesting visiting places are to be found at not more than one hour ride: Florence, Siena, San Gimignano, Volterra, Pisa, San Miniato, Vinci and so on, so the location is almost ideal if Tuscany is your target. Another tip, ask Loredana at least once to cook for you. ##### Javier C.

Loredana and Massimo were wonderful hosts and were very welcoming. It was very hot during our 2 weeks so the large pool was a godsend.The typical Tuscan house was large and cool. The village was a short walk across the fields with a nice little bar and pizzeria. A 10 to 15min drive to the nearest supermarket at Montaione was convenient. We had excursions to Florence, San Gimignano, Certaldo and Castelfiorentino (great market) all with their differing attractions. Many days were spent either at the villa or close to it, exploring the local area. The wildlife was very interesting, especially when coming back at night! If you've never come accross glow worms, wild boar, little owls, deer and porcupines in your back garden, this is the place for you. This was our third visit to Tuscany - this villa was the best of them, and was very reasonably priced compared to many others. Highly recommended! Williams Family, Wales ---
