Magnifique demeure pittoresque.
Petit déjeuner excellent.
Le seul hic état la piscine. C'était une piscine naturelle mais je ne m'attendais pas à ce que le fond soit encrassé. Il y avait un petit problème avec la pompe. Et comme c'est naturel, le pompage prend plus de temps et donc nous n'avons pas pu vraiment profiter du bassin.Would you recommend this property to a friend? Yes
Fue una experiencia UNICA. Vivir acá es para quienes realmente deseen vivir en La Toscana en un ambiente sencillo y acogedor. No tiene los grandes lujos que a veces persiguen las personas, sino que naturaleza, insectos y un entorno agrícola sostenible. Es muy cerca de la Florencia y los autobuses funcionan perfecto para ir a supermercado de Sandini donde es más barato.

Wir waren als Familie mit 2 Kindern (10&14) dort. So ein schönes Apartment! Tolle Lage, liebe Gastgeberin, Naturpool, den man meist für sich hat. Wir hatten so eine tolle Zeit. Konnten ganz ohne Trubel und Ablenkung bei uns selbst ankommen. Wenn uns der Sinn nach Action Stand, waren wir in gut einer Dreiviertelstunde mit Auto und Straßenbahn in Florenz. Aber auch vor Ort kommt keine Langeweile auf: der Naturpool lädt zum schwimmen und planschen ein und die Gastgeberin bietet Töpferkurse an, das haben wir gern genutzt und hatten einen tollen, kreativen Nachmittag. Es war eine sehr familiäre Atmosphäre. Bei Fragen war immer jemand ansprechbar und hilfreich. Hund und Katzen waren freundliche Nachbarn auf dem weitläufigen Gelände mit tollem Blick über die toskanischen Hügel ringsherum. Trotz großer Hitze hielten die alten Mauern auch ohne Klimaanlage die Räume kühl. Ob Espresso- oder Spülmaschine - die Wohnung hatte alles, was uns den Urlaub mit Selbstversorgung angenehm macht. Es gibt ein Schlafzimmer mit Doppelbett und eine ausklappbare Schlafcouch im Wohnzimmer. Alle hatten genug Platz und Rückzugsraum. Das Wohnzimmer als Schlafraum zu nutzen war auch okay, da sich dass gesellige Leben im Sommer draußen vor der Ferienwohnung in der gemütlichen Sitzecke abspielte. Einzig auf die vielen Mücken würden wir uns besser vorbereiten. Vielleicht wären auch Moskitonetze über den Betten noch eine gute Idee. Und der Weg hinauf auf dem Berg sollte für PKW etwas optimiert werden, damit man nicht so leicht aufsetzt an der einen oder anderen Stelle.
Aber alles in allem: Unbedingte Empfehlung für alle, die Ruhe, Natur und Einfachheit suchen. Wir würden da immer wieder hinfahren.
