Spring holiday Cardoso

The house is situated just below a typical Tuscan hill top village. There are superb views across the valley to the mountains. The local village was friendly and the cafe sold great coffee, bar drinks and good food in the evenings. We were pushing our luck with the weather in mid April but despite cold evenings, where the open fire was invaluable; the days were warm in the sun when it arrived. The house looked after us and we loved the small but friendly kitchen with everything we needed for all the home Italian cooking we did. Lots to see and do in the wider area - or just chill around the pool.

The perfect place to relax and enjoy Tuscany

The photos do not do it justice, this place is even better than on the website. We loved the quiet, the view, the pool and tabletennis, used the BBQ and fireplace and watched the deer in the garden each morning. The valley where this property is located offers a wide variety of things to do and with Pisa, Lucca and the coast only an hour away, we were able to explore all this too. Mony, the property's manager, was very helpful and always reachable by Email. The only criticism I have it that we had to purchase pepper, herbs, handsoap, dishwashing tabs etc. Things that were regarded as staples in other properties. I bought and left some of these items.
