New Review Submitted for Villa Carolina located in Barberino Val D'elsa, Tuscany, Italy.

Rental Date: Saturday 30th of August 2014.
Renter Rating: 5/5.
Review Details:
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Tuscany-- the location was perfect, and the views were gorgeous. We were only able to enjoy the pristine pool once due to the cooler weather, but we still enjoyed relaxing on the huge deck. The owners, who live upstairs, were always immediately responsive and helpful (rebooting internet, helping with the laundry, etc.) but not intrusive. The highlight was an excellent dinner cooked by Lucia-- antipasto, bread, salad, pasta bolognese, bistecca, dessert, and liquers. Lucia and Gabriele used to have a restaurant in Florence and clearly know how to entertain. The translator app on my phone proved helpful as well.

The owners make you feel like at home, they produce good wine and olive oil, which is what we were partly looking for - smaller local producers! Take a insect repellent with you :-) the agriturismo is really high in the hills!

New Review Submitted for Torre Del Cielo located in Monterchi, Tuscany, Italy.

Rental Date: Saturday 23rd of August 2014.
Renter Rating: 5/5.
Review Details:
Prachtige ligging met uitzichten zoals op een schilderij. Rosado is een geweldige aangename behulpzame eigenaar. Het zwembad is zeer proper maar spijtig heeft een dazenplaag ons weerhouden om in volle rust ervan te kunnen genieten. Het huis is zeer ruim en gerieflijk. Echter de toren zelf daar hebben we geen gebruik van gemaakt (te donker en te muf) en daar wou dus niemand in slapen.maar voor de rest hebben wij aangename uitstappen gedaan en lekker gegeten en gedronken

[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] Beautiful location with views like a painting. Rosado is a great pleasant helpful owner. The pool is very clean but unfortunately we had a plague of horseflies so we did not fully enjoy it. The house is very spacious and comfortable. However, the tower itself we did not take advantage of it (too dark and musty), so no one there wanted to sleep there but for the rest we made pleasant trips and we had good food and drinks

New Review Submitted for Villa Monastero located in Siena, Tuscany, Italy.

Rental Date: Saturday 30th of August 2014.
Renter Rating: 5/5.
Review Details:
A superbly located, beautifully renovated, spacious apartment. Kitchen is so well appointed that we couldn't resist preparing at least one large and very enjoyable meal during our stay, in addition to breakfasts and snacks. There's a reasonable, small shop within walking distance, and it is easy enough to drive up to Siena for more serious provisions. The surrounding grounds are lovely and well kept, adding to the ambiance.

New Review Submitted for Il Poggetto Di Castellina: Pergola located in Castellina In Chianti, Tuscany, Italy.

Rental Date: Sunday 31st of August 2014.
Renter Rating: 3/5.
Review Details:
We stayed in the “La Pergola” apartment at Il Poggetto for one week. Our hosts, Fabrizio and Eva, were very nice. The apartment was comfortable, although interior lighting was limited. The farmhouse is in a beautiful location. It is at the end of a steep and bumpy gravel road, which wasn’t a problem for us, but some guests might find the road rather daunting. In Castellina in Chianti, a small town about 15 minutes away, we discovered several excellent restaurants.

The main problem we had during our stay was the lack of internet in the apartment from the day we arrived, Sunday, until Thursday. To access the internet during this period we had to go outdoors and around to the front of the house. This was disappointing, especially since the description of the apartment said that there was internet, and before our arrival I had asked for and received written confirmation from Easy Reserve that we would have internet. During the last three days we were finally able to access the internet but it was extremely slow. We managed to download email, but web pages and messages with file attachments often couldn’t be downloaded.
