We just couldn't fault this little Tuscan gem! The property was well equipped and the view from the garden over San Gimignano was just amazing! Well located for visits to places such as Volterra, Florence, Monteriggione and Siena. We didn't want to leave! Patricia W. - Newcastle upon Tyne, UK.

Everything was perfect during our stay at Bigattiera Villa.
Our 10-y.o. daughter was happy with big and clean swimming-pool.
As we are fond of travelling - we were very happy with it's central location: approx. the same distance between Firenze, Lucca, Sienna, Pisa and numerous see-resorts.
Thank you very much,
Nikoilay K., Moscow, Russia

This was a beautiful, peaceful location to relax with family. We arrived late at night in the dark, and ran around the next morning opening windows to reveal the amazing views! The pool was great for the kids. The villa was clean and spacious. We were able to take several day trips to Florence, Pisa, Luca, San Gimignano and Colle di Val d'Elsa. We loved the location. The little town of Greve was convenient for post office and COOP food market.

Excellent place for vacation in many ways! We had very nice one week vacation at Casa Dei Ciliegi with four families with many children. The villa exceeded our expectations in many ways.

The house itself is excellent for larger groups. Ground floor inludes spacious living room, dining area and kitchen. Upper floor has many bedrooms and almost all have own showers and toilets, which is perfect especially for families with children. All facilities were clean and in good shape. Kitchen could have been better equipped, with more glasses and sharper and better knives. But otherwise kitchen was serving the purpose well.

Outside area follows the same standards. Spacious yard with two different table areas, other one being under a roof. One surprise was the location of the pool. It was very near the house, but in different level (behind a slope) and you had to walk stairs to get there. That setting would be challenging for disabled persons, but we had no issues with that.

Surroundings of the house are something you would expect from a perfect Tuscan villa. Being in the middle of vineyard with nice views, it was even better than what you would expect from pictures.

We definitely recommend this to all large groups, also those who are travelling with children - but not for disabled persons who would like to go swimming a lot :)

Renter Rating: 5/5.

The property is very nice, clean, and well managed. The area(pool, football field, ping pong) is perfect. The view and environment are great. 2 slight minus; first, it is slight far from the highway if want this location as a central location to visit Toscany. For relaxing however, it is great. Second, for urbans like us, it was very quiet, since it is very isolaled. So it depends what kind of vacation you look at. But it is a nice place and people are great.
