The whole week was such a fantastic experience. The villa was Located close to Palaia, the motorway to Pisa and Florence and an excellent vineyard who did excellent tours and tasting. Federica’s Mother cooked for us two nights and by the end of the week we regretted not doing it more. Overall Federica and Elisabetta were super helpful and made the trip worth coming back for.

Super schöne Unterkunft

Wir haben uns super wohl gefühlt. Die Unterkunft ist wunderschön und der Pool super zum Baden! Die Vermieter sind super lieb und nett und stehen jederzeit mit Rat und Tat zur Seite. Auch der Vater der Vermieterin ist super lieb und sorgt sich immer im Hintergrund um alles! Die Einrichtung ist typisch Italienisch und in sehr gutem Zustand. Es ist eine sehr idyllische Unterkunft und man hat absolute Privatsphäre...wir kommen sicher wieder:-)

Rural idyll!

Five old friends stayed here for a week at the end of Sept. and we all fell in love with the house, Palaia and all of Tuscany. Federica was very helpful and made herself available whenever we needed help or advice. We visited Florence, San Gimignano, Pisa, Lucca and Siena all in a week so we need to come back as we must have missed so much trying to fit it all in! Even the excitement of the unmade road to the house just added to our enjoyment! Thank you Federica for a lovely holiday. Rob.

Très agréable villa - A nice location

Une très bonne adresse pour des vacances calmes et reposantes. Idéal pour deux familles : piscine de bonne dimension, équipements suffisants. L'environnement est pittoresque: collines boisées, propriété viticole et huile d'olive à proximité. Très facile pour visiter les villages toscans et les villes importantes. Palaia est un charmant village avec épicerie (alimentari), bars et pizzerias (Villa Borgo, Civetta), même une station essence. Les propriétaires sont charmants et bienveillants. Merci au gentil papa de Federica : nettoyage quotidien de la piscine et de la terrasse ! A very good place for a quiet and relaxing holiday. Ideal for two families: good size pool, ample facilities. The environment is picturesque with wooded hills, vineyard and olive plantation. It's very easy to visit the Tuscan villages and major cities. Palaia is a charming village with a "alimentari", bars and pizzerias (Villa Borgo, Civetta), and a gas station. The owners are lovely and caring. Thank you to the nice Federica's dad : daily cleaning of the pool and terrace!

Idyllic getaway.

This is a wonderful location, either as a getaway from a busy life or a central location for sightseeing in Florence, Pisa, Lucca, Cinque Terre, etc. We (group of 11) used it for the latter and enjoyed the security of returning 'home' each night to a secure and secluded location. The kids loved the pool, the views are amazing, and the gardens are filled with lovely delights. The hosts are very helpful and accommodating. Wifi worked well. Kitchen had the necessities for preparing large meals; however, some of the skillets could be replaced. Our only difficulty was situational. We arrived during an abnormally rainy and cool June week. As a result, the house was damp and laundry/towels were slow to dry. I won't call this a complaint though, because in normal hot/dry weather, the old stone house would be pleasantly cool! All in all, I highly recommend staying here for a reasonable price and an authentic experience.
