What were the highlights of your holiday? The large and beautiful house with so much space for my whole family. Quiet and beautiful surroundings, wonderful meal at the restaurant in Saint Appiano and a great time at the wine tasting just around the corner from the house.
The closeness to Firenze, Siena and the stunning San Gimignano.
what was your overall impression of the accommodation? Very good! Beautiful house with lots of space inside and outside, large garden, nice pool-area, and plenty of chairs and sunbeds. Wonderful service from Mauritsio.
Did you have any unpleasant surprises? We had some trouble with finding the house when we arrived, because I thought we were suppose to pick ut the keys somewhere else. From the information we received it looks like the key is to be picked up at another destination. But no big deal!
Do you have any other comments? I have no problem with recommending the house or To Tuscany to anyone I know! And I will probably rent the same house, or another, again.

I like To Tuscany, partly because it has a tremendous range of villas, and partly because (unlike many companies) it has an excellent website that provides what you really want when choosing a villa.

Our accommodation, which cost less than £800 for the week, is in a converted stone farmhouse next to a 12th Century Franciscan chapel. There is a pergola shaded by vines round the back here we quickly settle into a rhythm of eating long pasta suppers while the shadows lengthen.
