Un Monsieur ( le propriรฉtaire) trรจs gentil, dommage que nous ne parlions ni italien ni allemand pour pouvoir faire connaissance d'avantage. Petit appartement propre, nรฉanmoins bruyant entre l'appartement du dessus รฉgalement louรฉ ร des vacanciers et le coq du voisin. La Toscane est une rรฉgion magnifique que nous recommandons grandement !
Weโve stayed at the Papillonโ house for 3 entire weeks and we felt at home since the very beginning.
The house is fully equipped with anything you may need for self-cooking and, if something would be missing, the hosts would certainly provide it at once.
Vittorio, Teresa and company are generous, caring and always there to help or simply for a nice chat.
The outdoor patio, garden and the jacuzzi are nice and relaxing when youโre not visiting cities or other beautiful surrounding areas.
Moreover, should you like the adventures, you have different bikeโs sizes to be used to discover the rural area where the house is based.
The house is quite far away from everything but any touristic site as well as the beautiful Tuscan beaches can be easily reached by car in an hour (Pisa, Florence, Siena, etc.). Then, there are lots of small and astonishing medieval villages in half an hour driving as well as treasures to be seen almost in every corner.
Tuscany has a lot to offer, not only in terms of places to visit but also in terms of wines, fantastic olive oil and meat (loved the Fiorentina!)
Considering the overall experience there are only 2 things to be improved that are already being set by the owners: the shower within the only bathroom that the house has and the connectivity.
Nous avons passรฉ un excellent sรฉjour chez Thรฉrรฉsa et Vittorio. Nous avons รฉtรฉ reรงus comme des rois. Un grand merci ร vous et pleins de bisous ร Martina.
Un vrai coin de paradis en famille dans la belle campagne Toscane. Vittotio et Tรฉrรฉsa sont des personnes accueillante, chaleureuse, souriante, serviable, d'une gentillesse infinie et ayant le coeur sur la main (bouteille de bienvenue ร notre arrivรฉe, offrantes de fruits du jardin, excellent pesto prรฉparรฉ par Tรฉrรฉsa). Une propriรฉtรฉ trรจs bien entretenue extรฉrieure comme intรฉrieure. Le descriptif de la location correspond exactement.Nous avons passรฉ une semaine inoubliable. Vraiment un trรจs grand merci ร vous deux.

No excuse but to relax
Vittorio was very friendly and helpful during our stay. We communicated in German as my Italian isn't very good and Vittorio had limited English. We were able to use some bikes that are available to the guests to explore the countryside as the accommodation is quite a distance from most things.
I was disappointed that the jacuzzi was no longer in action, it is only available from April - September and we visited at the end of October. There was no mention of this beforehand, so I was quite surprised when I was told it had been emptied and we were not able to use it. Overall it was a relaxing stay but I think this was mostly because of the area being beautiful and within good reach of many different places ; Florence, Bologna, Lucca and Pisa. Thank you. From N and L

Schรถne Ferienwohnung mit groรem Garten auf dem Land
Wir (2 Erwachsene, 2 jugendliche Kinder) sind vom Vermieter sehr nett empfangen worden und haben z.b. auch wรคhrend unseres Aufenthalts frisches Gemรผse und Obst bekommen und konnten immer Fragen stellen. Die Wohnung ist sehr sauber, liebevoll eingerichtet und gut ausgestattet., Handtรผcher und Bettwรคsche werden gestellt. Toll ist der groรe Garten mit 2 Eรplรคtzen und mehreren Liegestรผhlen, ein besonderes Highlight ist der Whirlpool! Ein kleiner Nachteil ist, dass das 4. Bett im Wohn/Eรbereich steht, was uns jedoch nicht gestรถrt hat. Gerne empfehlen wir diese ruhige und schรถne Ferienwohnung weiter!

Calme et accueillant. Idรฉal pour petite famille. A recommander vivement !
Rรฉsidence trรจs calme au milieu de la campagne Toscane, mais sans รชtre trรจs loin de la ville. Lโappartement est situรฉ au coeur dโun triangle Florence , Pise et Sienne : idรฉal pour visiter sans faire trop de route. Appartement trรจs propre, bien รฉquipรฉ et frais en รฉtรฉ, mรชme en lโabsence de climatisation.
Teresa et Vittorio sont dโune gentillesse extrรชme et nous ont trรจs bien accueilli, tout en restant discrets.
Le jardin est superbe et trรจs agrรฉable pour manger le soir. Ballons, raquettes et vรฉlos sont ร disposition. Le jacuzzi en fin de journรฉe est un pur bonheur.
