Review Details:

Words are not enough to express how beautiful this property is. It was far beyond our expectations. The owners and their staff are there to ensure everything about your experience is perfect. We were a group,of 5 couples for one week and 6 for the second week and everyone had excellent accommodations. We cooked in the very well appointed kitchen, enjoyed both the outside and inside . Unfortunately it was a little to cool to enjoy the pool. The location is well situated for visiting many of the wonderful towns and vistas of Tuscany. We have no reservations in recommending this villa.

What a beautiful property! Outstanding!! The pictures just don't do it justice. The remote location could possibly be a detraction to some, but we all loved it! Remote, bucolic, in the middle of vineyards and olive groves, the occasional sheep herd wandering by - who could ask for better from Tuscany? It is close enough to a town (Vinci) for all the necessities - good restaurants, wineries, groceries (like the locals, not a supermarket!) and the Vinci museum was certainly a destination stop. Empoli is close enough as well, with more shopping opportunities and variety. Best of both worlds!
Plenty of room for 3 - 5 couples, with opportunities for even bigger crowds (or receptions) with HUGE common spaces: kitchen and dining table and 2 living areas.
The new infinity pool - not pictured on the listing yet, was breath-taking - a total surprise. Though still not finished, it was functional, and when landscaping and lighting are completed, will be an outstanding feature of this property, only excelled by, yet complimenting the views.
The winery on site (by owner) is a must see as well - also a surprise!
The kitchen itself was in keeping with the age of the property - a little dated and under-served, adequate for our needs, but could sue some modernization. in the absence of an espresso machine, a new American-style coffee pot would go a long way.

This is a beautiful apartment. It is partly underground and quite rustic...it is a typical Tuscan home in a small village in the town square within 1 minute walk to the baker, butcher, grocer, coffee shop & restaurant.
The property owner's caring attitude and concern for the enjoyment of our holiday made a significant difference in out stay.

very friendly owner!
very nice house ..for two persons. Really nice garden!
But....very bad !!!!matras and bed ...not for renting. And I had the impression the sheets (old and warn out ;;;)had not been washed. Luckily there is a washingmachine and I could wash them myself (but this is not the way it should be !!)
It is also situated on a very bussy road.
The owner comes by (a little to frequently)and always without warning,even if we were not present.
