La Torre at Pretaccione

Rustige en mooie locatie. Ruim en gerieflijk appartement, met 2 badkamers. Leuk terras en barbecue. Groot, net en mooi onderhouden zwembad, evenals de tuin.

Interessante, rustige en mooie streek met veel kleine dorpjes en mooie vergezichten. Wel wat afgelegen als je de kunststeden frequent wil bezoeken. Reken zeker anderhalf uur voor Firenze. Siena ligt dichter. Maar de rust was welgekomen na de drukte in de steden.

We stayed at La Torre at Pretaccione in July 2016 for a family holiday (6 adults and one child). The apartment was clean, provided ample room for all of us to stay comfortably, and is found within a beautiful and relaxing setting. We really enjoyed dining al fresco each evening and swimming in the pool to cool off. The apartment is well equipped and has all the amenities you need. It is accurately represented on the To Tuscany website. I would recommend staying at La Torre, and would definitely stay there again. It is a bit quite and remote, but we preferred this, as it allows for a more rustic and relaxing Tuscan setting.

We enjoyed exploring the towns of Gaiole, Radda, Lecchi, San Sano and Greve. We especially liked Castellina. Siena is a very short drive away, and makes for a nice day trip. We also explored Florence and Pisa, but they are considerably further from Pretaccione than Siena (but still doable on a day trip).

Had such a lovely time at La Torre. The house was very spacious and well equipped. We didn't miss or want for anything. Pool and tennis courts are a great bonus and the kids had a great time playing in both....as did the adults. Thanks for having us we would definitely recommend it.

This was our second trip to Pretaccione, we stayed in the the resort in Fornaio 9 years ago. Beautiful villa with all amenities. We were very comfortable and had plenty of space as a family of four.

Restaurant Malborghetti in Lecchi and the cookery class- perfect. Days trips to San Gimignano and Sienna were great.

Mooie vakantie. Op een rustige plek en toch dichtbij veel bezienswaardigheden. We hebben wel veel moeilijkheden gehad om de weg te vinden. Een stafkaartje of een een detailkaart van de omgeving zou geen overbodige luxe zijn. Gelukkig kregen we hulp van de sleutelbewaarder. We vonden de wegbeschrijvingen aanwezig in het huisje niet ideaal en vaak langs kronkelige binnenwegen. Uiteindelijk hebben wij ons op de S408 vanuit Siena gericht met bordje n°17 als afslag. Neem zeker naast je Gps ook een kaart mee!
Het was 's avonds koud dus liep de gasrekening hoog op. Dat was toch een beetje een verrassing.
Voor de rest vooral positief commentaar. Huisje is goed uitgerust, in de keuken is echt alles aanwezig. Er is speelgoed, boeken (Engels), spelletjes, ligstoelen en een BBQ. Voor ieder wat wils. Je kan vanuit het huisjes mooi wandelen door de wijngaarden en langs de rivier. Er zijn bewegwijzerde wandelingen maar daar was geen info over aanwezig. Het zwembad was nog koud maar de kinderen zijn er toch een paar keer ingedoken. We waren op vakantie met 5 tieners en iedereen heeft genoten. Overdag Firenze, Siena en zelfs Pisa bezocht en dan 's avonds lekker rustig, eventjes in het zwembad, een BBQ, een goed boek bij het haardvuur. Genieten...

Siena is heel aangenaam. Het is er vrij druk maar er is een ontspannen sfeer. Het is ook interessant om net aan de afrit van de snelweg boodschappen te doen in de grote Coop. Ze hebben er echt alles, ook veel verse vis en groenten. Firenze is heel druk, ook in de paasvakantie maar zeker met oudere kinderen de moeite waard. Er is zoveel te zien, zelfs als je niet aanschuift voor een museumbezoek. Pisa is iets verder en heb je wel snel gezien maar het nabij gelegen Lucca is echt fantastisch om te kuieren en winkelen. De outlet in Foiano, dichtbij hetTrasimenomeer vonden onze dochters ook een fijne bestemming met interessante prijzen voor merkkledij. Het meer zelf was een beetje een tegenvaller. Het is een prachtige plek maar leek nogal verwaarloosd en zelfs vuil.

Ciekawie zorganizowane miejsce odpoczynku z basenem i kortem
Dojazd po cieżkiej szutrowej drodze, brak dobrego internetu.

Zdecydowanie wszystkie w całej okolicy.Przede wszystkim oferowane wina.

The size of the villa is perfect since we had 5 kids with us and this is the 2nd time we've stayed at Pretaccione but in a one bedroom villa back in 2013.
It didn't have a coffee machine & electric fan it was really hot when we stayed end of August but nothing to dislike about the villa. They did eventually provide these things just need to request it the office.

Siena town centre has a great Pizza place for take aways and Creme Gelateria for yummy gelato also there's Coop for food groceries and if you don't fancy cooking then there's McDonalds too kept the kids happy 😁😊😉

Cisza, spokój - możliwość kąpieli w czystym basenie oraz pogranie w tenisa. Duża wygoda.

Pizza w Gaiole in Chianti i tamtejsze restauracje.

We were a two family group with two teenage children, the Torre was kitted out with everything we needed for our stay, we had a super time and loved this spacious villa.
The games compendium was put to good use and much enjoyed.
Our fourth visit back to Pretaccione but our friends first time but doubt it will be the last. We celebrated our last evening by having Orietta (in house chef) come to the villa to cook an amazing italian meal. Fantastic. Thank you
The biting insects! Recommend use of mosquito coils and insect repellant

Radda for ice-cream and handbag shopping! Sienna for it's beauty and atmosphere, Tuscany for the sunshine, wine and peace.

We stayed in La Torre with 7 adults and 2 small kids (5 and 2 years old). The house was perfect for us. It is beautiful situated with amazing views in very quite surrounding. There is great pool and tennis court. The house was specious, nice and cosy. Kitchen was perfect equipped. We found in the kitchen everything we needed. Outside terrace is a nice place with table and BBQ. We spent amazing time there and we will recommend the place to everyone! We would also love to come back there!!!:)

Villa confortable, spacieuse, bien équipée!
Accès à la piscine

Beaucoup de vignobles! (Le Miccine, Volpaia, Méléto, Brolio, etc.

The apartment was good quality and spacious. There was plenty of space for our party of two couples, two teenagers and one younger child. This would suit two families travelling together, or a medium-size, or multi-generational group. The bedrooms are separate enough for everyone to have privacy and the small terrace garden offered a further area to relax in.

The apartment was comfortable and very well-equipped. The open-plan living/dining/kitchen area has a nice flow to it and plenty of seats and dining space. Importantly, for self-caterers and keen cooks like us, the kitchen is very well-equipped – we were never minus anything.

The bedrooms were nicely furnished, with a good amount of storage space and the two bathrooms were clean and well-equipped. For us, the curtained-off bunk area was the perfect place for our youngest to sleep, one flight of stairs below us.

The communal pool was clean, the large sun terrace nicely set out with beds and umbrellas, and the tennis court was a great bonus.

The welcome pack provided was incredibly welcome when we turned up starving at 10pm.

What a great holiday – we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this apartment and To Tuscany

Light-sleepers should be aware that one bedroom is directly off the living area and another is at the top of the open-plan staircase in the tower, with no doors between it and the rest of the communal space. This wasn't a problem for us – visitors with children are likely to be up early anyway. But it's probably worth guests knowing in advance.

We loved the cookery lesson with Simone at his restaurant in Lecchi - and the rest of the group loved the lunch we cooked for them. One of our party really loved the road-cycling opportunities. We all enjoyed our visit to Siena, just 30mins away. And we enjoyed lunch in the sunshine, with delicious gelato, in Gaiole.
