We had a wonderful time in La Loggia at Villa Fabbroni. You must eat in the restaurant - amazing food served by Stefano and Sergio who were excellent hosts throughout the week, and always ready to give helpful advice. The villa is high in the hills and a great base from which to explore Tuscany with easy access to Florence and a comfortable drive to Sienna. It was very safe and our teenage children enjoyed staying at the villa and the pool by themselves on some of the days that we spent visiting local markets and towns.

We hebben erg genoten in La Miccia, eerst toen we binnenkwamen, leek het erg donker. Dit komt omdat het iets onder straatniveau ligt. Algauw bleek dit een enorm voordeel. Het bleef heerlijk koel. We hebben genoten van de gastvrijheid van Marina, Francesco, Julio en Irene. We konden daar altijd terecht voor vragen, het zwembad en de fantastische kookles. Ik zou het zeker aanraden. Het enige nadeel is dat er weinig eigen "buiten" bij is. Je zit op het terrasje op het plein, waar we iedereen na een week wel kenden en elkaar groeten. Maar als je het dorp uitloopt zijn er genoeg plekjes waar je kunt zitten. Het is wel een aanrader om een auto te huren, wij hebben dit via deze site gedaan, goedkoop en zonder problemen.
[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] We really enjoyed La Miccia, when we first arrived, it seemed very dark. This is because it is slightly below street level. Soon we found out that this was actually an advantage because inside it stays very cool. We enjoyed the hospitality of Marina, Francesco, Julio and Irene. We could always go to them with our questions, to use the pool and have the fantastic cooking lesson. I would definitely recommend the property. The only downside is that there is only a small outdoor area. You sit on the terrace on the square, where after one week we got to know everyone and everbody says hello. But just outside the village there are plenty of places where you can sit. It is highly recommended to rent a car, we have done this through this site, cheaply and easily.

Ons verblijf in Il Pigionale was super. Het huis heeft alle benodigde voorzieningen en ligt op een bevallig pleintje.Bakker,slager,restaurant en supermarktje zijn allemaal op loopafstand en het is ook een goede uitvalsbasis om de omgeving te verkennen.Er is zelfs een prada outlet enkele km's verder.De eigenaars zijn zeer aangename en hulpvaardige mensen.We mochten gebruik maken van hun zwembad en de kookles met Marina is gewoon een aanrader.

Our stay at Il Pigionale was super. The house has all the necessary amenities and is situated on a graceful little square. Bread, butcher, restaurant and supermarket are all within walking distance and it is also a good base for exploring the surrounding area. There is a Prada outlet at only a few km. The owners are very pleasant and helpful people. We could use their pool and cooking lessons with Marina is a must.

Schitterende villa, mooi tussen de bomen, met heerlijk uitzicht op de wijngaarden en Radda. Toscane en Chianti gebied zijn prachtig, en leuke plaatsen als San Gimignano en Siena zijn vlak bij. Behalve een zwembad en zitjes in de tuin is er niet zo veel te doen rondom het huis zelf.
[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] Superb villa, beautiful situation among the trees, with lovely views over the vineyards and Radda. Tuscany and Chianti area are beautiful and fun places like San Gimignano and Siena are near. Besides the swimming pool and sitting in the garden there is not so much to do around the house.

We had a lovely 10 days at this very typical Tuscan property. The young children were totally smitten with the pool and we enjoyed the peace and pleasant surroundings. The property is very private although there were other guests but the setting lends itself to privacy, having said that we were easily able to get to large supermarkets etc and central for the main tourist destinations.

Excellent location half an hour by car from Firenze old town. Beautiful old castle/place. Ample rooms, well kept, clean. Minimalistic kitchen and equipment (OK for breakfast and snack). Good restaurant with beautiful terrace. Ideal for resting combined with cultural and gastronomical escapades.

We hebben hier een fantastisch plekje gehad. Heel centraal voor bezoek aan Florence Sienna st Gimignano enz...Na terugkeer idiaal om rustig bij te komen van alle indrukken. Prachtig uitzicht!! zeer vriendelijke eigenaren...Het gemis van een zwembadje vonden wij niet erg. Het huis zelf is super mooi, alles antiek, erg netjes en schoon.

Positive: Beautiful rural setting, very peaceful in rolling mountain area with wonderful views. Property is spacious with a fantastic pool and terrace area. Negative: As so secluded there is a lot of winding roads to get anywhere which adds to journey time. You should read very carefully the contents list as some common items are not included eg kettle, toaster, room fans, DVD player

Bonjour , Cette maison est très agréable avec une vue magnifique. La gare d'Empoli à quelques kms de la maison permet d'aller à Florence en 20 minutes ! La maison est spacieuse et relativement fraîche. Quelques détails pourraient être améliorés : pas de commodes dans plusieurs chambres uniquement grande armoire. Pas de meubles dans 2 salles de bains. Pas pratique !
Seul vrai bémol : les moustiques qui attaquent de jour (moustiques "tigres") comme de nuit. Nous n'avons pu aller acheter des produits et des ventilateurs que le lundi évidemment, les enfants ont donc été "dévorés" par les moustiques pendant presque 48 heures. En suite quelques piqures mais rien de plus. A part ça la maison et le terrain : piscine + tennis sont vraiment très agréables.
[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] Hello! This house is very nice with a great view. Empoli railway station is only a few miles from the holiday home and allows you to go to Florence in 20 minutes by train! The house is spacious and fairly fresh. Some details could be improved: no chests of drawers in many bedrooms but only a large wardrobe. No furniture in the bathrooms. It is not convenient!
The only real downside: the mosquitoes that attack during the day (mosquito "tigers") and in the night. We were unable to purchase products and fans before Monday, therefore children have been "devoured" by mosquitoes for almost 48 hours. Afterwards only a few bites, but nothing more. Apart from that the house and the outdoor areas (swimming pool + tennis) are really nice.
