Villas in Tuscany & Umbria Since 1998

What were the highlights of your holiday? The highlights were mornings on the verandas and patios and getting together at the end of the day over a glass of great Italian wine to eat dinner and talk about where we had visited that day. The local towns were great and visiting restaurants and wineries near Montalcino,Pienza and Montepulciano were the most fun.
what was your overall impression of the accommodation?    Excellent overall impression. Everyone enjoyed the villa. The kitchen was more than satisfactory. Everything was very clean and did not look overused or worn out. The pool was very clean. Everything worked well.
Did you have any unpleasant surprises? No, absolutley not. The owners were very freindly and helpful with any questions we had.
Do you have any other comments?

Was waren die Highlights Ihres Urlaubs? Immer wieder nette Unterhaltungen mit Leuten vor Ort, insbesondere Einheimische in einem kleinen Cafe ganz in der Nähe (Torreneri) und das direkt in der Nähe gelegene Montalcino. Besonders erwähnenswert auch die Nähe zu Siena und dort ein paar kleine Spezialtiätenläden zu besuchen und den Tag zu genießen.
Wie war Ihr Gesamteindruck von der Unterbringung? Sehr angenehm, freundlich gestaltet, sehr sauber, jegliche Informationen vorhanden.
Gab es unangenehme Überraschungen? JA- die Zeit verging zu schnell, das nächste mal sicherlich 2 Wochen Urlaub.
Haben Sie andere Anmerkungen? Vielen Dank für alles, wir werden beim nächsten Urlaub sicherlich wieder auf sie zurückkommen als Reiseanbieter.

Overall impression: Very good. The house was even better than we expected. Actually, the pictures on the website do not give good enough impression on the house.
Highlights: Relaxing at the house. Dinners outside when the night started to fall.
Swimming was definitely the highlight for the kids (altogether 5 of them). Daily trips to San Giovanni for gelato.
Unpleasant surprises: No
Overall, this was a very nice way to visit Tuscany and we were very pleased with everything. We're looking forward to return in 2 - 3 years time.
More suggestions on shops and other services around the house. E.g.
- co-op supermarket in Torrenieri, a big co-op in Buonconvento (not open on Sundays)
- I can recommend restaurant La Compagnia in Torrenieri
- gelaterias (part of tabacs) both in Torrenieri and San Giovanni

Very good; it was fairly represented by the web site. Authentic working farm setting, friendly owners, day trips to the wine regions, sight seeing in the country, dining out, had home cooked Tuscan meal at our villa, relaxing at the villa/swimming pool.
