New Review Submitted for Palazzo Rosadi located in Monterchi, Tuscany, Italy.

Rental Date: Saturday 10th of August 2013.
Renter Rating: 5/5.
Review Details:
There are no words to describe how wonderful our two week vacation at Palazzo Rosadi was during the month of August 2013. Our party consisted of three adults and four young children (2 - 9 years old). We arrived with high expectations, which were greatly exceeded. The villa and the surrounding property are even more beautiful than the pictures suggest. The views are breathtaking and never seize to amaze you from the moment you open the shutters in the morning to the time you enjoy a meal and glass of wine al fresco in the evening. The interior is spacious, comfortable and cool, even without air-conditioning in the middle of August. The garden is beautifully maintained and an absolute delight. The pool is perfect to relax after a day of sightseeing or to spend a lazy day “at home”.
The villa is located in the tiny Località Ripoli, approximately a 5 min drive from the quaint town of Monterchi. Restaurants and grocery stores are easily accessible in Monterchi by car. Beautiful medieval towns such as Anghiara and Citerna are about 20 min drives and worth every minute. Arezzo is less than 30 min by car, Cortona less than 45 min, Siena and Florence about one hour. The location, right on the border of Umbria is the perfect place to experience Eastern Tuscany at its fullest.
While this scenario would provide a fabulous vacation in and of itself, the personal attention and hospitality provided by the Rosadi family make the experience unforgettable. Rosado, who manages the property, speaks impeccable English and is the perfect host and guide. His parents, who lovingly help to take care of their property, are the most wonderful people you’ll ever meet. The family takes care of the property discretely and allows their guests as much privacy as they desire. They are always available when needed and extremely helpful with any needs that may arise.
If this review seems exaggerated, I can assure you it is not. It is not possible to use too many superlatives to describe our experience at Palazzo Rosadi. If you are looking for an unforgettable Tuscan vacation, you will not be disappointed.

New Review Submitted for Casa Rossa: Casa Rossa 3 located in Certaldo, Tuscany, Italy.

Rental Date: Saturday 31st of August 2013.
Renter Rating: 4/5.
Review Details:
Der Urlaub in Casa Rossa 3 war klasse,die Wohnung für 2 Erwachsene ideal,der Pool, 10 m von der Wohnung entfernt, ist sehr schön und groß, Aussicht ist traumhaft. Schade, daß man wegen der Stechmücken keine Fliegennetze an Fenstern und Türen hat. Außerdem war die Anlage ruhig,außerhalb der Hauptferienzeit.

[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] The holiday in Casa Rossa 3 was great, the apartment is ideal for 2 adults, the swimming pool, at only 10 meters from the apartment, is very nice and large, view is amazing. Too bad one has no fly screens on windows and doors because of the mosquitoes. Furthermore, the complex was quiet outside the main holiday season.

New Review Submitted for Fattoria Il Barattino located in Cortona, Tuscany, Italy.

Rental Date: Saturday 20th of July 2013.
Renter Rating: 5/5.
Review Details:
We enjoyed a fantastic week at Il Barattino.
Paola was there upon our arrival making us feel very welcome indeed.
The two houses were immaculately clean and were perfect dwellings for us (9 adults and a toddler).
The air conditioning was superb (on the lowest setting it bordered on freezing but that was just right for us fair skinned Scots/Irish in the near 40degree heat outside).
The pool was very clean and was tested several times during our stay.
There's lots of outside seating available - ranging from pool loungers to tables and chairs both in the sun and shade - giving plenty of opportunity for al fresco dining and afternoon refreshments.
The views from both houses are gorgeous - it's not often you would look out of your kitchen window to vineyards, blue skies and the beautiful Tuscan hills.

In terms of laction, it is a great base to visit Cortona, the lakes, Assisi and Siena - although a car would be essential.

We had a magnificent time here and were very well looked after by the hosts - who even made us a huge feast of Italian food on one of our nights!
Would wholeheartedly recommend!!
