Gianna far exceeded my expectations. The house was the perfect get away for my vacation. The property was well maintained and the view was breathtaking. She gave me some helpful pointers on how to get around town safely and was always available to answer any questions. I had the privilege to roam and explore her property where olive trees and other fauna thrived due to her tentative care. My home was clean and equipped with everything I needed. I was even welcomed with a bottle of wine and olive oil from the orchard! Thanks you Gianna and family for your warm hospitality, It will always be something to remember! I’ll definitely be back

Wonderful Stay

It was a wonderful stay in a beautiful area. The house is very clean and has everything you need for your everyday life. Gianna was a very warm host. She gave us her homemade olive oil and fresh vegetables from her own garden. It was very delicious. She also had useful tips about other beautiful towns in Tuscany that aren't visited by too many tourists.We would love to return to this wonderful holiday home. I can only recommend it to everyone.Distinti saluteSarah & Sascha

Vacation time in the Tuscany Region

This VRBO and its surroundings are absolutely beautiful. The herbs growing along the wall, the olive trees and beautiful potted flowers just add to the ambiance. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful. A rental car is needed for the area.

Delightful quiet Tuscany Farm House

We will be back! Gianna and her family made us feel so welcome. Very clean, Comfortable bed, comfortable sofa! Everything is just as described and the family even shared some of their own olive oil from their orchard. Fresh eggs and vegetables at our door were so generous! The turn from the road to the driveway is hard to see but Gianna helped us find it no problem! We will miss the countryside there!

Real Toscany experience

I stayed here almost three months. If you want to see real Toscany life, this Is the place to be. Whole family was very kind and helpfull. I did not have a car and I managed very well. There are many amazing hicking paths just nearby (starting from your doorsteps) and very good public transportation to Pontassieve and Florence. If you want to know what Is Toscany life, this Is the place to be. I will certanly come back.

Lovely people and location

Gianna and her family were so welcoming, friendly and helpful and did everything possible to ensure that we were having a great holiday, from suggestions for restaurants to sights to see. Gianna was always available, but not intrusive. We enjoyed a lovely welcome pack, including a bottle of her own olive oil, wine and beer, plus essentials such as milk, butter and eggs. The garden had lovely views across the valley and to the hills beyond. The kitchen was well equipped, though without an oven which wasn't a problem for us. The spiral staircase from the living room down to the bedroom and bathroom, though quaint, may be a problem for people with mobility problems. A car is essential to get around, including to the railway station at Pontassieve [10 minutes drive and free parking] for journeys to Florence and beyond, saving the hassle of parking in town. It would also be convenient to drive to Siena, which is well worth seeing, but can also be reached by train. We found a great restaurant just off this carpark called Bastian Contirario, plus another in Pelago called Leonia Bistrot. Both reasonably priced.We would thoroughly recommend staying at La Casina with Gianna.

We enjoyed our stay so much! Gianna and her family were so nice and welcoming! I don't usually stay at properties where the family also stays, but I'm so glad I did this time! My husband and I loved the views and I made dinner in the loft kitchen twice using the fresh herbs Gianna had growing. She was so generous and left us food staples to make dinner and it really came in handy the first night when we realized that we would rather drink wine outside than go out to dinner! One thing to note about this area (and most places we visited in Italy), is the restaurant hours. Many places only open for dinner and that starts around 7pm. Lunch is over at 3pm and most places close from 3pm-7pm. Everything was perfect for our stay and the area is lovely.

This is the place to stay away from crowds and experience the local flare of Tuscany and Firenza region. Villa was lovely, safe, and as described online. We enjoyed the location to Florence and surrounding villages. Go to the town of Saltino, 25 minutes from the villa, for an incredible drive, view, and food, or try Tenuta Risalpiano for another restaurant new the villa. Overall, this was an incredible place to stay, relax, and enjoy the views.

Das Ferienhaus ist eine absolute Empfehlung. Wir waren 10 Tage mit unserem kleinen Hund dort und haben die Zeit sehr genossen. Es war ruhig und gemütlich alles ist sehr gepflegt. Zur Begrüßung gab es Verpflegung für den ersten Tag und andere Aufmerksamkeiten. Alles ist sehr liebevoll hergerichtet. Der Garten war für unseren Hund super und die Gastgeberin sowie ihre Familie waren immer freundlich und haben sich erkundigt ob wir etwas benötigen. Sie konnten uns gute Tipps geben was wir in der Umgebung unternehmen können. Der Pool war toll und viel größer als wir anhand der Fotos vermutet hatten. Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit!

Wir haben sogar regelmäßig frisches Gemüse aus dem Garten bekommen und auch unser Hund wurde total herzlich empfangen. Sowohl das Haus, als auch der Garten Pool waren sehr sauber und gepflegt. Außerdem haben wir tolle Empfehlungen für Ausflüge & Essen bekommen. Wir hätten uns den Urlaub kaum schöner vorstellen können und würden jeder Zeit wieder buchen.

We had two wonderful weeks with our dog. The hostess is already waiting for you upon arrival. Just in case you haven't had time to do your grocery shopping yet, there's already everything you need to make breakfast or pasta. Fresh vegetables from her garden are also ready for you. The cottage is authentically furnished and equipped with air conditioning, which was definitely needed. It's wonderfully peaceful, and the pool is cleaned every morning. The whole family is incredibly friendly, and the cottage was fantastic. In short, a very successful holiday, highly recommended!

The nicest host in Italy

What a pleasant and exceptionally helpful host Gianna is. Property is located on a small farm, you will feel part of the family. It is quite compact so really best suited for a couple. Property is ideally placed for travel around Tuscany, esp Florence, . The local train station is only a few kms away. Many thanks Gianna, we especially enjoyed the fresh eggs and Garden produce.

Wunderbar

Wir durften 10 Tage bei Gianna auf ihren Grundstück verbringen .. Sie ist eine tolle Gastgeberin hatte auch für den ersten Tag Verpflegung bereit gestellt .. Wein Spagetti, Olivenöl usw. Wir haben uns pudelwohl gefühlt .. Nur wer was gegen bellende Hunde hat( sie hat eine kleine Zucht mit etwa 20 Hunden ) für denjenigen is es vielleicht nichts.. Uns hat es überhaupt nicht gestört zumal sie ja auch täglich ins Umzäunte Freigelände dürfen.. Ein rundum toller Ort um Urlaub zu machen …
