Wonderful Family Holiday

This was the perfect place for a quiet and peaceful family holiday in beautiful Tuscany. The cottage was very well equipped, the pool very clean and a great size. We loved the quiet and secluded location but still walking distance to some nice little cafes and a wonderful wine tasting experience. Would highly recommend this property.

Emplacement idéal pour visiter la Toscane

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour, la maison est très bien située pour visiter les différentes villes et villages de Toscane, la piscine est grande et super agréable. La location est constituée de tous les équipements nécessaires pour passer un bon séjour. C'est calme et la litterie est bonne. Il manque peut-être un peu de place dans la cuisine pour stocker les aliments secs/boissons

Heerlijk huis in het echte Toscane

Wij hebben 10 dagen genoten met ons gezin. Onze kinderen van 18 en 15 hadden ook goede WiFi wat op deze leeftijd erg belangrijk is haha. Het zwembad was heerlijk koel en heel ruim. Elke ochtend even baantjes gezwommen. De huisjes op het terrein zijn van allemaal verschillende eigenaren. Je hebt daarom bij het zwembad ook echt je eigen 2 bedjes met 2 stoeltjes en geen tafeltje. Rondom ons huisje waren meerdere zitplekken om te liggen of zitten. Een airconditioning had wel fijn geweest maar er stonden gelukkig 2 grote ventilatoren.

Romantisches Steinhaus

Die Lage des Hauses ist sehr schön und ruhig. Der Gemeinschaftspool war prima und sehr sauber. Man sollte allerdings an Mückenspray denken.

Empfehlenswert

Das Häuschen hat alles was man braucht.Pool war sehr sauber, es sind jedoch Ruhezeiten am Pool von 14.00-16.00 einzuhalten und es ist keine Nutzung des Pools nach 21.00 möglich. Insgesamt waren wir zufrieden,auch wenn während unseres Aufenthaltes weder Geschirrspüler noch Waschmaschine nutzbar war.Agentur und Inhaberin waren zwar bemüht,was uns letztendlich aber in der Zeit in der wir dort waren nichts gebracht hat.

Owners were very accommodating.

All was a good experience. The only regret was that the pool was closed. It had been advertised that the pool would be open. We had nice weather for our stay and would have enjoyed the pool.

Nettes kleines Haus in schöner Gegend

Nettes, kleines Ferienhaus in sehr ruhiger, ländlicher und schöner Gegend in der Toskana. Toller Pool. Eignet sich auch gut als Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge nach Volterra, Siena, Florenz, Pisa oder ans Meer, wenn man bereit ist mit dem Auto zu fahren.

sejour calme et agréable

Notre séjour était très bien et agréable. La maison était bien située pour visiter la Toscane. Par contre, la wifi n'était pas dans la maison, ce qui peut poser problème. Il faudrait le précisr dans l'annonce.
