  Beautiful location, stunning views and a lovely terrace, with some areas for improvement regarding organization, ameniti

  The terrace was lovely, and the sunsets in the evening were absolutely beautiful. The view from the property was amazing, and the surroundings were very peaceful and relaxing. The property itself was spacious, which was great for our group of 14 people. Paula was also very friendly and welcoming and gave us a helpful introduction to the property when we arrived. The garden is amazing.

  There were far too few amenities for a property accommodating 14 people for a week. We only had one kitchen towel for the entire stay, and there was no sponge for washing the dishes. We also ran out of toilet paper and had to buy our own. The Wi-Fi did not work during our stay and if it did only for few minutes at a time. The batteries in one of the remotes had also leaked, but they were replaced the following day. Another issue was the lack of privacy. Almost every day, someone came to the property, either in the morning or in the evening, without prior notice. The neighbor from next door also showed up from time to time. It often felt like he was using the excuse of picking some grapes or other things to come onto the property and look around, which made us feel rather uncomfortable. The mattresses could also use replacing, as they were not particularly comfortable. I would also recommend considering installing air conditioning in the future. Although there was a fan in every room, it still got quite hot on some days during our stay in the first week of September. The check-out also felt a little rushed. The cleaning staff arrived at around 9:37 a.m., which put us under some pressure to leave, even though they were very friendly. It would have been more comfortable if they had arrived closer to the agreed check-out time. Regarding the rubbish, Paula had asked us to let her know when the bins were full. However, I would have expected the rubbish to then be collected automatically. The rubbish collection service also passed by during our stay but unfortunately did not take the bins, because we didn’t know which day and time and which sort of garbage they would take. Paula was there at the beginning to show us around and explain everything, which was helpful. Overall, there are several things that could be improved to make the stay more comfortable and enjoyable, especially regarding the amenities, privacy, and organization.

  Stunning property

  We had the best time staying in such a gorgeous location. Most of our time spent in the pool or eating around the large dinning room perfect for hosting large groups. Property is truly stunning and highly recommend for anyone to stay

  Slightly disappointed in the lack of basic supplies for a group of 14 people. We were expected to purchase our own toilet paper, rubbish bags and dishwasher tablets. Extremely limited quantities were supplied (7 toilet rolls for a group of 14 for a 3 day stay). Which meant we had to leave to purchase these items. Understand this is sometimes expected of guests to purchase but would have appreciated advanced communication of this.

  Fantastic Villa in a beautiful location

  Beautiful property in a lovely spot, great facilities. Pool was a lovely addition too. Reasonably close to grocery stores and multiple beautiful restaurants and wineries - though a car is a must. Was a fantastic spot for our group of 11

  Washing machine was quite old and put holes in multiple of my clothing items - use at own risk. Some small maintenance things could’ve been done around the property but nothing major at all.

  Good

  The location is great, there are a lot of small cute medieval towns in 30 min driving range. Wine is exceptionally good. The swimming pool was the only thing that saved us from melting down on 39 C Tuscan heat! The staff is nice and friendly.

  Where do I start.. First thing that this place lacks is air conditioning! I can’t imagine how can people survive on 40 C Tuscan summer without an air conditioner at this property. It should be considered as a basic utility and this place lacks it. Lack of proper air conditioning ruined the entire vacation for us to be fair. During days sun was unbearable and the only option was either going to swimming pool or getting into car, turning on the engine and A/C inside the car. During evenings and nights, air pressure inside the property becomes so high that you can’t breathe making it impossible to take a good night sleep. At nights outside becomes somewhat fine but you can’t even go out because of the amount of mosquitoes! Second, we stayed there for 2 weeks and were expecting at least some basic housekeeping would’ve been provided after a week. At least some towel and clean sheets. Neither of them were provided. We asked for a vacuum cleaner to clean the house ourselves but we’ve been given an old barely functioning cleaner which didn’t really do the job. Lastly the furniture inside home was so old, it requires some more investment. I understand these places are so on high demand during the high season because everyone and their mother want to stay at a Tuscan villa. But some basics should have been covered!
