Stay: August 2016

Großzügiges, perfekt ausgestattetes Haus mit sehr großem abwechslungsreichen Gelände und sehr schönem Swimmingpool. Es fehlt wirklich an nichts! Der einzige kleine Kritikpunkt ist die Anfahrt zum Haus: die letzten 5 km sind teilweise nicht asphaltiert (ist aber auch kein Problem). Wir (11 Personen) haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt!

Stay: June 2016

The property is very attractive and well maintained. Key holder very helpful and ensured that everything was done to make the stay as comfortable as possible. The villa was extremely well appointed and it was difficult to think of what else we could have wanted. The Pool area was large and superbly located with great views over the valley.

The main issue was the lengthy and quite difficult road down to the bottom of the valley which took between 15 and 20 minutes and one that were somewhat reluctant to drive after dark. Although we enjoyed the villa and the holiday, the location/approach was a restricting factor.

We enjoyed Lucca, Cortona, Sansepolcro, Citta di Castello and Arezzo. Pisa was horrendously busy. If you are flying in then Perugia or Florence are easier and shorter drives than Pisa - so worth paying a bit extra for these flights if you need to.

To Tuscany team comments for this review:

31.08.2016

To Tuscany recently visited the property and can report that the road down to the valley is 3.6km. 60% of the road is cement, the other 40% is dirt but is flat and in good condition. Monterchi is 6km away and can be reached in 10 minutes.
