We were a family of 4 adults and 3 young children (5 year, 4 years and 2 years)at La Damigella. This was a perfect place for our family. The kitchen is well equipped and nice, the bathrooms are all great. Even though the house is old and genuine Tuscan style the modern requirements we have are all there... e.g. nice modern bathrooms and kitchen, wi fi, sky television (no english channels). The surrounding grounds are beautiful, an absolute highlight. You are in a valley with surrounding forest which is just beautiful. Mornings were very peaceful with birds singing and dew on the grass. The outdoor sitting areas were beautiful and we spent most of our time here. The pool was perfect and the kids loved it, swimming every day... although too cold for the adults. The location to nearby towns such as Lucca, Pisa, Monte Catini and the beach was fantastic. It is also close (8 minutes) to the autostrade (main highway). The owner Walter is great, maintaining the property beautifully and checking in every couple of days to clean the pool and make sure everything is ok. We had a fantastic stay and would recommend the property to anyone who wants to explore Tuscany. My only to 'watch outs' are that it is difficult to find. I suggest getting to Camaiore (nearest town) and asking owner to meet you there and show you the way, it's only 5 minutes from town. Also, the beds were too hard for my liking.

Zeer degelijk en verzorgd, prachtige ligging, prettige eigenaren. Anders dan de foto's doen vermoeden zijn er voldoende schaduwplekken. Naast ouderechtpaar woont er in de zomer ook de Engels sprekende "uitbaatster" met haar jonge kinderen. Dit geeft gezelligheid en hulp waar gewenst, maar ook nog steeds voldoende privacy.

Wij zijn net terug van een vakantie in vakantiehuis La Sodera in Barberino di Mugello. Wat een geweldig(!) huis. Je kan bijna niet geloven dat alles erbij hoort. Een fantastische keuken, lekker ruim, je past met 10 personen aan tafel, voldoende uitgerust met pannen, borden en dergelijke. Vooral de aankleding is zo leuk, authentiek en passend bij de woning. Wat ons vooral enorm aansprak was de immens grote tuin die bij het huis hoort. Wij vonden het een absolute aanrader! Ook de familie Tagliaferi, de huiseigenaren zijn bijzonder vriendelijk en behulpzaam!

Renter: Pavlina J. (, Slovenia).

Renter Rating: 3/5.

I visit Pornelleto in the beginning of August with 5 of my friends. We stayed in appartment Borgo. The apartement was nice, rooms were nice as well, for the price payed. We really missed one nice terase, because the one that is there is very small, dirty and equiped with not very nice plastic chairs and table. Since we were staying in the Borgo, we had to walk cca 7 minutes to the pool, because it was on the other side of the property, which was not mentioned on the web page or before our arrival. It was no problem for us, because we are young, but definitely it is a problem for older guests. The good side is the very nice owner, but unfortunately she did not tell us anything about the region, as she said the first day. The family living on he property was very nice and as well the dinner, they cooked for us one night was very delicious. I reccomend this property, but better choice is definitely Alari appartments. The location of the villa is just perfect, and the nearby villages Cetona and Chiusi are amazing, with no turists. Peruggia, Sienna and all the other nice villages and cities are very near.
