Es war fantastisch, eine Liebe zum Detail! Top Lage, super Aussicht! Der Pool klein aber fein. Schöne sonnige Terrasse, überdacht. Die ganze Wohnung/Haus hervorragend ausgestattet! Schade das der Urlaub vorbei ist. Wenn wir wieder in die Toskana fahren, werden wir definitiv sehr gerne wieder da wohnen! Die Eigentümer sehr hilfsbereit, es gab gute Tipps für Restaurants und für Wein, natürlich aus der Region Ganz große Klasse die Unterkunft
Leuk en mooi huis met prachtig uitzicht. Klein zwembadje (niet verwarmd) met een leuk terras. Het huis is authentiek ingericht, met mooie meubels. En met een mooie oude authentieke trap. De matrassen van de bedden zijn een beetje hard. Het huis is goed schoongemaakt en ruikt fris. Op elke kamer is airco. De keuken is voorzien van vaatwasser, oven en grote koelkast. Vuilnis moet zelf aan de straat worden gezet, gesorteerd, 200a300 meter bergopwaarts. Het huis ligt mooi gelegen, vlakbij Gambassi en Certaldo. Wijnproeverij is op loopafstand. De foto’s op de site kloppen exact met hoe het in werkelijkheid is. We hadden een informatiemap fijn gevonden, maar omdat t huis nog erg nieuw is, snappen we dat dit er nog niet is. Inchecken en uitchecken had iets persoonlijker gemogen :) maar Simone was op vakantie.
