Was waren die Highlights Ihres Urlaubs? Das Highlight ist und wird es bleiben - Valliole selber. Für das Alles gilt unser großer Dank dem Eigentümer für sein Vertrauen.
Wie war Ihr Gesamteindruck von der Unterbringung? Das schönste, bestausgestattete Haus in der schönsten Lage, die man sich nur wünschen kann. Besser geht wirklich nicht. Das I-Tüpfelchen war der vollständige Gemüse- und Kräutergarten. Es war alles da, was man zum Geniessen und Wohlfühlen braucht. Von der Jura-Kaffeemaschine bis zur Grillkohle samt Anzünder. Vom Mückenstecker bis zur Profiküche, von der großen CD-Sammlung bis zu den vielen Aufmerksamkeiten und Kleinigkeiten, die das Leben und Kochen in diesem schönen Haus zur unbeschwerten Freude werden liessen. Ein übervollständig und sehr hochwertig ausgestatteter Haushalt mit stilvoller und exklusiver Architektur. Es fehlt wirklich nichts! Und für italienische Verhältnisse noch ein Zuckerle - mit guten Matratzen. Auch der freundliche Service der Hausdame, die zweimal pro Woche zum Wäschewechsel, war zudem sehr angenehm.
Gab es unangenehme Überraschungen? Nein.
Haben Sie andere Anmerkungen? Bitte Valiole geheim halten ;-)

What were the highlights of your holiday? Meeting up with all our friends and family and all the wonderful restaurants.
What was your overall impression of the accommodation?    Overall, the accommodation was very good. The windows were to have screens and most did but there was at least one that did not. Better written instructions for the appliances would help. Also, there were several coffee makers but, I believe, only one was in working order.
Did you have any unpleasant surprises during your stay with us? Not really.
Do you have any other comments regarding the accommodation or service? Overall, we were very pleased. My main suggestion is that the property managers and owners go over everything at Valliole and fix little things. One small example, the door to the annex (copola?) had to be closed very hard to stay shut and the handle had come loose. There are many things like that at Valliole---not big things but a number of small issues that could be improved.

What were the highlights of your holiday? The accomodation was one.
What was your overall impression of the accommodation?    Excellent - better than we had imagined. Very clean, too.
Did you have any unpleasant surprises during your stay with us? Being asked to pay Eur18 for logs to use in the fireplace! Left a bad taste before we left.
Do you have any other comments regarding the accommodation or service? Would use the website again.

What were the highlights of your holiday? Visits to Sienna and Lucca, the wine-tasting afternoon at Casanuova di Ama, just walking the lanes to the local villages and lunch in San Sano
What was your overall impression of the accommodation?    Wow factor! It was beautiful, very tastefully furnished, very clean and cool. Wonderful views.
Did you have any unpleasant surprises during your stay with us? I was a bit upset that on the two days we planned to stay around the house and pool, the gardeners came and were strimming the whole day - that should have been done when no visitors were there.
Do you have any other comments regarding the accommodation or service? Some help with local walks would be useful, we found our way around by trial and error but it was hard to find the way down to Lecchi and there were no signs. Even some sketch maps in the house would help - we meant to do some ourselves but ran out of time.

what was your overall impression of the accommodation?    Excellent. Much better than expected.
Did you have any unpleasant surprises? Only mosquitos!
Do you have any other comments? TV could do with an upgrade, but TV shouldn't be high on the list of things to do in Tuscany...

What were the highlights of your holiday? The highlights were the day trips to the small towns in in Tuscany. We especially enjoyed Siena and Montalcino. We also loved spending time at the villa. We cooked several meals there, and enjoyed local wine and the gorgeous scenery all around us.
what was your overall impression of the accommodation?    It was absolutely beautiful. We were thrilled with the location and the villa. It was very modern yet also rustic. The entire property was well laid out and we felt very secluded.
Did you have any unpleasant surprises? The front gate malfunctioned the first day, but it was repaired immediately the next morning. Also, we had requested firewood for the outdoor fireplace, but it was not provided. Finally, I would recommend a guide book for operating the oven! It was very complicated.
Do you have any other comments? We had a very positive experience, and would strongly recommend to tuscany to our friends and relatives. Thank you for a memorable experience. We plan to return.

Dear Michela
What did we like about your service.
I found it excellent. You kept me well informed on our booking and l never had to give it a moments thought prior to our departure. You e-mails had all the information we required and there was never a need to seek further information. 10 out of 10!

What was our overall impression of the accommodation.
It was beyond our expectations. You can only see so much on an internet site. When we first arrived and viewed the setting and walked thru Valliole we were so thrilled. Maria Louise greeted us so warmly and we instantly felt at home. We left our luggage (as we were early) and headed down to Lecchi were we had a late lunch with Paulo. We thought we had died and gone to heaven! What a stunning village (including Paulo!)
Must mention Katia who greeted us when we first arrived. She was so welcoming, warm, helpful and enthusiastic. We met her when we went to pick up the keys. She was not concerned that we were early and encouraged us to leave our bags at the villa and advised us where to have lunch. She was delightful.
We were happy with our rooms and found the beds very comfortable and it was great having our own bathrooms. We made the most of the three eating areas. And did we cook some amazing meals all inspired by Italy! The villa was so clean and it was great having Maria Louise come 3 times a week and clean (and take away all the wine bottles!) We wanted to take her home with us back to Australia!
We were encouraged to use the herbs and salad items in the garden which was a huge bonus to our cooking.
The accommodation got a 10 out of 10 also.
One thing we felt could have been provided was dish washer machine tablets. Some of us have rental houses in Australia and we provide the product we want for our dish washers. We feel that people do not want to be bothered having to get detergent. There was also no black pepper grinder which we all missed!

What were the highlights of our holiday - so many! Here are a few.....
Villa and its setting and the location in Tuscany.
The village of Lechii and San Sano were perfect for our local shopping.
The meals we had at lunchtime everyday at different restaurents, especially at Badia a Coltibuono and Ristoro Di Lamole.
The fun and laughter we shared as 4 couples especially preparing our "Babetes Feast" each evening. The kitchen had everything we needed.
The pool was beautiful to swim in as so clean and excellent water quality and what about the view!!!
Daniellas wine tour were we all got a bit too much vino and became best friends with some of the others on the tour. It continued on our terrace and there was much joy and laughter - a fun night and also yummy food.

Did we have any unpleasant surprises?
None what so ever except we got very lost going to the village of Tonnie. Instead of it being a round trip of 76kms we managed to make it over 200kms. The good side of it was we saw a lot of extra country!

Having the free use of the internet was a great bonus.
I am hoping one day to return to Valliole as it is a very special place and we have all left a part of our hearts there.
Thank you for your contribution in making it such a wonderful holiday
Yours sincerely

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.
