Pietra
What were the highlights of your holiday? Just being able to relax and enjoy the breathtaking views.
what was your overall impression of the accommodation?    Lovely - more than we had expected. Paglia's upstairs was very roomy however the downstairs TV area was a little small for the 4 of us when it wasn't hot enough to sit outside. Pietra was gorgeous for the two of us.
Did you have any unpleasant surprises? Only that on the 2nd week, we were woken by the noisy gardners mowing and strimming at 7.45 am to midday for our last 4 mornings. They seemed to take an awful long time to do the mowing!!!
Do you have any other comments? We had very nice 'neighbours' throughout the holiday and we would definately consider using To Tuscany when we next book a holiday in Italy. Mauritzio was very helpful and it made me feel safe knowing that we could call him at anytime if we had an emergency.

Paglia
What were the highlights of your holiday? We enjoyed all of it from the walks evry morning to st appiano, to the lovely drives in the country side and all the different local places we ate at, particularly in st barberino, vico, both recomended by Maurizzio the owner of the property. His personal interest and helpfulness was most appreciated.
what was your overall impression of the accommodation?    very good. lovely views from main bedroom particularly and also nice to sit out for meals overlooking the garden. comfortable bed/s. Lighting in the lounge could do with improvement so as to brighten up the place when needed. At times found it dull and made one feel like not staying indoors in the evenings. So we ended up being out for dinner evry night!
Did you have any unpleasant surprises? Not really.
Do you have any other comments? Most definitely recomend it, especially Paglia the accomodation we stayed in facing front garden and great views to wake up to every morning. Pity we could'nt make use of the pool in 2nd week due to the weather, which kinda dampned the spirits and we made up by travelling all over by the rental car which is a must really. Kkep up the good service but bear in mind the pricing in this economic climate!

Paglia
What were the highlights of your holiday? Siena market is great, as is that lovely city. The sunsets from our cottage were wonderful, hearing chickens and roosters and sheep in the distance. The tranquility of the location and the views. Proximity to some fabulous attractions.
what was your overall impression of the accommodation?    Very neat and clean. Had everything we needed. Very welll kept grounds, especially liked being able to pick some sage and rosemary for cooking!
Did you have any unpleasant surprises? Whilst we had a map of the area, had some trouble getting out of Poggibonsi to return home (twice), so a map of the town would be helpful. The washing machine stopped working, but it was fixedd in a day, some filter problem
Do you have any other comments? Mauritzio and Beatrice were great. We were late in, dark and raining and he was there to help in every way. Both very personable and welcoming. This is the second time I have used To-Tuscany and would do so again and recommend to all friends and family. Excellent!

Fabulous location, beautiful villa, wonderful escape from it all. Exactly what we had hoped for but didn't believe we would get due to lateness of booking.
Peace and quiet. It was truly away from it all - if we had stayed in the villa and its surrounding area we would barely have seen another English person, which was perfect. At the same time the villa was excellently located for exploring some of the must-see parts of the region - Florence, Siena and San Giminagno all within 15 minutes drive.
The local village, Sant Appiano, was beautiful, producing a delicious Chianti and serving wonderful local cuisine at Il Pipolino.

Excellent, very clean and the modern utilities made the holiday very relaxing.
The attention to detail in the construction of the apartment, and the excellent guide produced by Sean (invaluable for restaurants). The picturesque yet  tranquil surrounding countryside needs no words.(excellent)
Thanks again for such a wonderful break, we really did get to see and experience the real Italy.
Gary Ellis (accommodation: Paglia)

overall impression: Very good. It exceeded what i’d seen online. It was spacious, clean, comfortable, quiet, everything we wanted. However, i wouldn’t have wanted to have slept in the windowless small second bedroom if there had been three of us. It was a perfect size for the two of us, and we could use the second bedroom as a store room.
highlights: Whilst we were staying at the Villa: we enjoyed our proximity to Siena and San G, as well as Florence. We found you could access the cities/towns so easily, but also the beautiful chianti countryside, either towards radda, or more locally. We loved the pool and its quiet location, and sitting watching the sunset outside the villa - wonderfully relaxing. Having had a week touring round in hotels, we found the villa the perfect antidote, it exceeded my (high) expectations, and we had a wonderful week. Thanks again.
unpleasant surprises: None... we just struggle with Italian opening times, no matter what we do, we always seemed to arrive at places when they were shut! Part of the charm of the holiday/italy though!
Alison (Accommodation: Fieno)

Thank you. We are very pleased with the service in To-Tuscany. The websites is very honest to the places and give you a Good indication about the locations. This time it was a very elegant place, just enough for the two of us. The owner spoke exellent english and was very helpfull. The pool and surroundings was perfect and the huge garden in exellent shape. All in all it was more than you can expect and for a fair price.
We feel now that we know our way around and we dont use so much time not finding our way. We managed to visit two wine festivals (Greve and Panzano) We went to Montalcino and bought a couple of Brunellos and one day we visited Isole e Olena for tasting. Perfect.
We are now looking into another place to hire for next year (If the websites is as correct as before we think about Fieline de Villole)But mind you, we could easily og back to Pietra or Molino the Rogante
Jon (Accommodation: Pietra)

Overall impression: Fantastic! it was important for us that in the house there were two different bedrooms with their own enters. Also two bathrooms was really good.
Highlights: Lying by the pool, barbequeing, having dinner outside....all the things!
Unpleasant surprises: Nothing
Elina  (Accommodation: La Balla)

Overall impression: Wow better than the pictures
Highlights: Having meals with my family (all 20) in the main communal area and the kids loved having night swims before bedtime and the location was perfect near Sienna and Florence.
Unpleasant surprises: the mossies I got bitten every night but it doesn't effect all persons some didn't get bitten at all take mossie spray.
