Great Tuscan break

We had a great family holiday travelling with ages from 5-74 who all had a great time! The pool is brilliant and the surroundings are stunning. The house is quirky but charming and is well equipped. Buti itself is beautiful and is a great place to spend some time eating and drinking. The only consideration when booking would be the accessibility as the road from Buti to the property requires a robust car that isn't too long and a very confident driver. Communication prior to and during our stay was brilliant!

The House of Memories

Beautiful, peaceful location and amazing house and pool. Local village is traditional with a vibrant community and great restaurants and bars. The fitness levels improved as a steep but picturesque walk back to the house. Plumbing system is lively! Ana was very helpful and quick to answer any questions. Fabulous holiday.

Hi Becky I thank you for the review and I am happy that my house has ensured you a good holiday. After all, I believe that my house is both truly beautiful and above all unusual, Ideal for those who want an alternative holiday to the consumerist life we are used to. However I will be happy to host you again, HI Anna

Lovely Authentic Tuscan Farmhouse

We enjoyed our stay very much - it was, as described, a traditional Tuscan farmhouse full of Italian character. The pool was the highlight - amazing! Large and so clean surrounded by the olive grove and pine trees. We also liked Buti, very traditional with few tourists and we were welcomed in all shops, cafes, restaurants and bars. The only downside (assuming you're looking for character rather than a 'spotless' villa) is the 400m lane - make sure your hire car is the right choice, small & 'high' but with a powerful enough engine for hills - and no nervous drivers!

Italy

it was a lovely house with a lot of atmosphere. the park was fantastic with olive trees and nice flowers. nice big pool. The access road to the house is under all criticism. with big holes in the road. it requires that you drive in a tall car. We were not aware of the nature of the road.

capisco il tuo problema della strada ma ti ripeto che nella descrizione e' specificato. E' un piccolo pegno che devi pagare se tu vuoi avere un luogo pulito e incontaminato come quello che hai trovato. Comunque anche noi ci auguriamo di avere sempre ospiti educati e responsabili come lo siete stati voi. un caro saluto Anna

Inchecken ging prima, hadden aangegeven dat we tussen 14 en 15 er zouden zijn. Dat was ok. Toen we om 15.15 aankwamen was de schoonmaak nog bezig.

Hello, I understand your need to arrive and find everything ready after a long journey. However, check-in is from 4:00 PM onwards, not 3:00 PM. If the previous guests checked out at 10:00 AM, and if they were late, you understand how the mix-up you experienced is bound to escalate. I believe housekeeping is essential! I'm sorry you noticed the problem, and if this was the reason for the 4 stars instead of 5, it only makes me feel more convinced that we need to be more strict about adhering to the established check-in and check-out times. Best regards Anna

Une grande déception

Nous avons déposé une réclamation car la location ne correspond pas au descriptif , lyrique , et aux photos, flatteuses, qui ont guidé notre choix. Certes la propriété, la piscine et ses extérieurs sont très beaux mais cela ne compense pas le piètre confort de la maison , inattendu , que nous avons subi avec notre famille et qui a gâché en partie nos vacances.

Dear Raymond I am glad that the house of memories was pleasant for you. I answer the note on the road: every enchanted place must keep its distance from the civilization of consumption. That's why I bought it. A magical place! Anyway, I'm glad I had you as a guest. I gave you 5 stars in the rating to you. In the mood for sincerity I noticed that you had not read my welcome guide otherwise you would have known where to find the main switch for the electric black out you had on arrival. Anyway, thank you for your politeness and courtesy Anna

Einfach toll!

Von der ersten Minute an kann man in dem riesigen „Garten Eden“ und dem toskanischen Landhaus nur entspannen. Die Anfahrt ist etwas abenteuerlich, aber ab dem Moment des Ankommens wird man belohnt durch Ruhe, Natur und vielen schönen Ecken mitsamt einem herrlichen Pool. Alle, die Kinder und die Erwachsenen, haben dieses Anwesen genossen.

Immersi nella natura

Soggiorno ideale per chi desidera staccare dagli impegni professionali. Vacanze all’insegna di riposo, letture e sport. Magnifica piscina immersa nel verde e silenzio assoluto. La casa è molto ospitale e l’esterno piacevole per pranzi e cene con barbecue. I proprietari molto gentili e disponibili ti mettono a proprio agio come fosse casa tua. Ci torneremo senz’altro.

Beautiful villa and genuine Italian feeling

We stayed 8 people at the villa for 2 weeks and we had a lovely time. Anna is a gracious host, who was very attentive to our needs. There’s 3 bedrooms and a landing with two single beds, which suited or two youngest boys. There is a fine kitchen with room for several people making food, and it comes with all kitchen bits you will need. Then there are 4 living rooms, so if you need alone time - no problem! The out door areas are the real charm!!! The loggia and terrace on the east side of the house is big and has lovely furniture for both dining and relaxing. This is also where the huge stone fireplace bbq is placed. The beautiful pool is placed up the hill on the west side of the villa. Here you’ll find a loggia with a dining table and chairs, sun loungers and easy chairs. The pool is fantastic, 7x13 meters and more than 2 meters deep in one end. The cleaning system keeps it super at all times without stinking from chlorine. Such an amazing area with more great views of the valley and mountains. It must be mentioned that Buti is a genuine Italian village with hardly any tourists. There is several great restaurants, bars, ice creams and other little shops. It is 800 meters down the hill to the piazza on a dirt track. We can highly recommend staying at this wonderful and authentic place.
