Gab es unangenehme Überraschungen? Nein
Haben Sie andere Anmerkungen? Nein.

What were the highlights of your holiday? Cooking class with Luciana, what a terrific experience. We cooked up a five course meal and dined like kings that evening. We celebrated our 30th anniversary here at L'Agrifoglio and couldn't think of a better place to be. Market day at Panzano, day in Sienna, lazy afternoons in the main piazza of Gaiole in Chianti. There were so many highlights. The best highlight of this accommodation though is Holly herself.
what was your overall impression of the accommodation? Wonderful, wonderful accommodation. Holly, Lucca, Chiara and Giarda were a joy and couldn't have been more helpful. They treated us more like friends than guests. The villa was so comfortable, lovely and warm. The beds were to die for, lovely soft feather pillows and warm snuggly feather doonas. A beautiful atmosphere in the hamlet, with cats and dogs to say hello to each day. To say we enjoyed staying at L'Agrifoglio would be an understatement.
Did you have any unpleasant surprises? No!!
Do you have any other comments? Highly recommend L'Agrifoglio to all. I would go back tomorrow!

Michela - just thought I’d drop you a quick note to say that our accommodation at L’Agrifoglio was absolutely superb. Holly and Luca were great hosts and we’re very grateful for your help too.
many thanks again and kind regards, Jo Andrews
Met our expectations - the property matched up with the photos and was of a very high standard. Beautiful, quiet setting and friendly proprietors.
Gary Clarke
overall impression - It was exactly as we pictured it. Beautiful surroundings and VERY clean accommodations.
holiday highlights - The hosts, Holly and Luca, were so incredibly kind and hospitable. They were the absolute best part of the holiday.
unpleasant surprises - Everything was FANTASTIC - the only thing I might mention is that there were quite a few bugs (very large bugs with lots of tentacles) that, of course, are part of the nature of Tuscany; but they were sometimes inside the apartment which was, at times, a little off-putting.
Comments of clients from California
Overall impression: We loved our Tuscan villa. It was definitely our home away from home. The villa was exceptionally clean and had all the basic accommodations. Our hosts, Luca & Holly, were extremely kind and made sure we were comfortable and happy.
Highlights: We spent two days in Venice, then a week in Tuscany, a night in Florence, and three days in the Cinque Terre. Tuscany was our favorite and a place which we will return to SOON!
Unpleasant surprises: NONE! Your description of the villa was right on target which resulted in having our expectations met upon arrival. You had no "false advertisements" which we greatly appreciate and respect. Thank you for your services and we will use your service again. We have already recommended "To Tuscany" to several friends.

Michela-to add to your service questions. all the directions were fine the frist time into the property was the only time we did not get lost in Italy!!!

Overall impression: amazed..it was even more beautiful than we had
imagined. accomadation was superb with 2 large bedrooms and a fab bathroom with power shower for each, very well equipped kitchen with a sofa to chill out on, super outdoor dining room perfect for late night drinking and card playing, plus the most stunning secluded swimming pool...this was all surrounded by vines,olive groves or woods... and with the lovely family on site and holly's fab attention to detail it took it to from very comfortable to perfect.
Highlights: my highlights included... laying by the beautiful
pool gazing at the clouds,listening only to the birds surrounded by woods and olive trees.....photos of me running through field of sunflowers..... the owners in the house next door...such a lovely family who had renovated the place themselves and were so friendly and an amazing source of local info.holly taught me to make tirimasu and even had a bbq for us and the hamlet so we could watch the world cup final.
Unpleasant surprises: mozzies and horseflies!
you do have to drive to get anywhere on unlit dirt tracks..but the place is so fab we tended to go out in the day ie siena,markets,lunch in the sun or wine tasting then spend late afternoon by the amazing pool, cook and just relax at the villa so no-one had to drive!

Overall impression: The location of the accommodation was fantastic. The setting was so beautiful that each morning I would wake up and exclaim: "Yep, another day in paradise!" L'Agrifoglio had everything we needed, was well laid out and perfectly comfortable.
Highlights: We were within an hour's drive of everything we wanted to see and do.
Driving around the countryside and exploring the towns in the Chianti hills was a definite highlight. The same feelings came flooding back to me on a return trip to Sienna. That town takes my breath away.
Our hosts Holly and Luca were terrific and very generous with the attention they gave us. We felt very much at home.
Unpleasant surprises: There were absolutely no unpleasant surprises.

Overall impression: EXCELLENT! IT WAS EXACTLY WHAT WE EXPECTED. YOUR WEBSITE GAVE AN ACCURATE DESCRIPTION OF THE ACCOMMODATION AND THERE WERE NO DISAPPOINTMENTS.
Highlights: THE WONDERFUL PEACEFUL HIDE-A-WAY OF L'AGRIFOGLIA AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT ALL THE WELL KNOWN AND LESSER KNOWN SIGHTS IN THE AREA, I.E. SIENA, AREZZO, CORTONA, VOLTERRA, SAN GIMIGNANO, VERTINE, ETC. WE DID IT ALL AND LOVED IT.
AND OF COURSE OUR SUPER FRIENDLY HOSTS, HOLLY AND LUCA MADE OUR STAY MEMORABLE. THIS IS CERTAINLY A PLACE WE WOULD RECOMMEND TO OTHERS.
Unpleasant surprises: NO

Dear Dympna Docherty,
We enjoyed our holiday in L'Agrifoglio, it was just perfect.
Here are our comments on the questions you asked us to answer:
The villa was really what we expected it to be, beautifully furnished
and homely, very well kept, too. The rooms were comfortable and there
was enough room for four people in the house. The kitchen was well
equipped for our needs. The surroundings with the vine yards and olive
groves were so peaceful. We also enjoyed the large terrace.
Highlights: Luca and Holly, the hosts, were unbelievably friendly and
helpful and made us feel at home. We did a lot of sightseeing driving
along the small country roads and visited Sienna, San Giminiano,
Cortona, Pisa, Florence (by train) and many small towns and villages.
The villa is conveniently situated for visiting places. For me the
absolute highlights were the days spent by the pool painting and
enjoying the Tuscan colours and sunshine. The town festival in Gaiole
was also an nice experience. We spent a wonderful Sunday afternoon with
our Italian friends who came to visit us.
There were no unpleasant surprises at all.

Overall impression: Absolutely charming! It was immaculate, had everything that we needed right down to the most amazing views from our bedroom windows. The grounds were impeccable with huge pots of shrubs, flowers, and herbs artfully placed on the patios and around our villa. Holly and Lucca, our hosts were delightful. They were accomodating, helpful, friendly and went above and beyond to make our stay pleasant and memorable.
Highlights: Lucca's pizza. Our hosts had us for supper one evening and Lucca made the most amazing pizzas. We were happily surprized and pleased to have been invited into their home and treated as friends.
Unpleasant surprises: Not really. The traffic in Florence was an eye-opener! And the parking or should I say the lack of parking in all of the cities was a challange to say the least. We solved this by driving to the nearest train station and taking the train into the bigger cities. Much more relaxing and not as stressful. All part of the Italian Adventure.
Linda (Canada)
Overall impression: The host and the lovely weather.
Highlights: When the host invited us to dinner the last evening.
The wonderful roads in Tuscany and the lovely small cities like San Gimignano, and of course the Italian food.
Unpleasant surprises: No.

Our Italy vacation was truly outstanding in many ways thanks to you and your excellent service. We have been showing pictures of our trip to many of our family and friends and we've heard this comment more than once, "How did you find this gorgeous place?" Of, course we readily give out your web site.
Your service was wonderful. I particularly liked your prompt responses to my e-mails and your detailed instructions and suggestions. As to our accomodation, I can only say that it's not often that an accomodation exceeds my expectations. This one did! Also, our hosts were absolutely wonderful.
You get an A+++
