Wir waren total überwältigt von dem tollen Haus und der Umgebung. Für die warmen Tage war der Pool von unseren Teenagern voll belegt. Im Haus fehlt es an nichts, man merkt, dass Christian und Barbara in den nicht vermieteten Zeiten selbst drin wohnen. Die beiden sind super Gastgeber und stehen immer für Fragen und Tippps zur Verfügung.
Rundum ein gelungener Urlaub für die ganze Familie. Danke nochmal an Christian und Barbara.

Alex und seine Familie waren sehr angenehme Gäste, die unser Haus in einem perfektem Zustand an uns wieder übergeben haben. Alles hat wunderbar funktioniert. Wir freuen uns sehr, dass Alex und seine Familie sich wohl gefühlt haben und eine schöne Zeit in unserem Haus und der Umgebung verbringen konnten. Grazie mille Alex.
Nous avons passé d'excellentes vacances dans cette belle maison isolée dans les bois aux abords du petit village d'Aramo.
L'accueil du propriétaire était parfait, la maison bien équipée et la localisation parfaite pour qui veut sillonner dans le nord de la Toscane.
A recommander sans restrictions, il faut juste penser à se munir de produits contre les moustiques car ils sont un peu féroces en début de soirée.

About the host
Hosted by Christian Frass
I studied at the University of Vienna School Economics and Business Administration. After completing my studies, I worked for an international auditing company. Subsequently, I was able to gain experience in private equity business. This path led me to being the chief financial officer at a software company, which I managed after a successful reorganization, until its sale to a financial investor. In search of a new challenge, my path led me to Tuscany. My interest aside business and politics has always been cooking. My previous professional experience strengthened me in my confidence to follow my passion.
During her studies in architecture at the University of Vienna School Technology, my wife Barbara studied abroad in Florence. She wrote her diploma thesis on the implementation of the „PINICAL“ shipbuilding system, developed by her father, for three-dimensionally curved roof structures in architecture. This has resulted in very interesting projects, such as the roof structure of the Ferrari Museum in the Italian city of Modena.
Inspired by her two sons, she dealt with the teaching and learning methods of Maria Montessori. From the establishment and operation of her own Montessori school, she gained a lot of experience. She organized mathematics, astronomy and construction courses for children and teachers with specially developed learning materials.
Fate led us to this charming house in Tuscany, in which we fell in love with it from the start.
Why they chose this property
La Gioiella is something special. We discovered the country house by chance in 2015 on the Internet. At this time it belonged to an English gentleman, who had acquired this house just under a hundred years after its construction in 1881, and transformed it into an English country house without losing the typical character of this tuscany-style house. He has created a beautiful garden with many different roses and flowers. After the acquisition we furnished and renovated the house lovingly.
What makes this property unique
On La Gioiella one comes to rest at once. It is surrounded by a 2-hectare property immersed in greenery but close enough to visit the beautiful cities such as Lucca, Florence and Pisa within one day. The time on La Gioiella passes very slowly. One immerses in this beautiful landscape, engrossed in a book from the library, while one reads secluded under an olive tree. Nevertheless one is connected via WLAN with the outside world. A place to visit, dream and enjoy.
