Was waren die Highlights Ihres Urlaubs? Familienfest und Familientreffen in einer wunderschönen Landschaft mit kulturellem Hintergrund, mit adäquater Wohnmöglichkeit in einer typischen Villa
Wie war Ihr Gesamteindruck von der Unterbringung? Wir waren sehr zufrieden (Familie mit 3 erwachsenen Kindern, deren Partner und 1 Enkelkind im Alter von 6 Monaten). Theresa kümmerte sich fürsorglich um uns.
Das Haus und die Lage entsprach dem aus dem Internetauftritt gewonnenen Eindruck einer gepflegten Unterkunft. Angenehm war auch die ca 500m entfernte Osteria La Fornella (davon nur 100m auf einer öffentlichen Strasse)
Gab es unangenehme Überraschungen? nein
Haben Sie andere Anmerkungen? nein

What were the highlights of your holiday? The owner Theresa couldn't have been more helpful, for example, reserving a table for us at a local restaurant she had recommended, as our grasp of the language wasn't conducive to a successful telephone booking! She even made us a tiramasu - delicious.
Lazing by the pool, we had a beach day at Viareggio, only about 45 minutes from the villa, and easy to park - expensive but worth it for the Italian beach experience. However, we preferred the complete 'get away from it all' feeling we had at the villa, we felt we really were in rural Tuscany - phrase book essential - perfect!
what was your overall impression of the accommodation? Fantastic - we stayed at La Piaggia. The villa was beautiful and the surroundings were stunning. The outside games room was a great hit with our children, especially in the heat of the day.
Did you have any unpleasant surprises? Perhaps a little too far to walk into the village, also the road was unlit so wouldn't have been a good idea at night. However, we were able to use some bikes which were at the villa.
Do you have any other comments? Plan to eat in on Sundays - we did struggle to find a restaurant.

Dear Dympna,
We came back with some wonderful memories and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. What could you have done better?
You could have brought the sunshine to Florence on the Thursday and stopped the rain from falling so heavily. You could have warmed up Friday a little and you could have warned us just how delicious the local produce was especially the tomatoes as we munched our way through kilos of the things.
I couldn't criticise one thing and we knew the weather would be changeable because of the time of year but we did get together for a celebration and we had a fantastic time with the family.
The property was even better than we envisaged and whilst we can all pick up on certain points e.g. a larger kitchen with more light and work surfaces would have been preferable, this is a an old property full of
character and it suited out purposes exactly.
I wouldn't recommend the use of Europcar despite the apparently cheaper prices because the wait at the collection point was very frustrating and next time we will use another supplier. By the way the recommendation
was via Thompsons and not you.
Teresa at the property was a delightful person and was extremely helpful. She cooked a meal for us on Tuesday evening and it was splendid.
Everything lived up to expectations and whilst I am not certain when we will be returning to Tuscany, when we do we will certainly be contacting your organisation at the outset. In the meantime we will not hesitate to
recommend you to others.
Keep up the good work!
Yours sincerely,
Peter and Liz Riley and family (UK)
