Tuscany - May 2024

We stayed entire month of May. Had a fantastic time. Used as a base to travel thru much of Tuscany. Hosts' Christiano & Alessandra were great and very accommodating. The drive from Marliana was always an adventure!! Would highly recommend.

A relaxing location

The property was really nicely presented, small but with everything we needed. Access to the pool was as and when we required and it was just right for our family. The hosts were helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely little home in the hills

My husband and I together with our two girls 8 & 10 have just spent a lovely week here. The house was well equipped with everything we needed including towels, cleaning products and condiments. You’ll definitely need a car to get about but otherwise it’s perfectly located for day trips to Pisa, Florence, San Gimignano, Lucca but the bonus for is was being able to come home to our little place of paradise and jump in the pool all to ourselves. Would definitely recommend!

Calm and relaxing

We had a wonderful stay at this place located in the mountains between Florence and Pisa. Perfect for relaxation, painting, easy cooking and listening to audio books. Extra plus for the pool and the aircondition upstairs because it was pretty warm weather during this period.

Erwartungen waren wohl zu hoch

Um das Objekt zu erreichen ist es zwingend erforderlich, ein Auto zu haben. Das Haus liegt sehr weit oben und ist nur mit einem Auto über eine sehr enge, steile Straße zu erreichen. Wir haben jedes Mal gut 20 Minuten für die ça. 8km gebraucht. Man kann nicht mal eben noch in ein Restaurant oder eine Bar gehen, um den Abend ausklingen zu lassen oder ähnliches. Auf den Fotos ist ein großer Garten/Außenbereich mit tollen Sitzmöglichkeiten zu sehen, diese gehören jedoch nicht zur Unterkunft. Am Haus selbst gibt es 4 weiße Plastikstühle, die teilweise kaputt sind und einen kleinen Tisch. Der Pool darf zwar genutzt werden, steht aber auf dem Grundstück der Vermieter und man fühlt sich beobachtet. Wenigstens war er sauber. Ich habe 2 Pfannen im Backofen gefunden, diese waren jedoch so fettig (mit großen, alten Fettaugen drumherum) und haben nach altem Fett gestunken, dass einem der Appetit vergeht. Auf den ersten Blick sieht es innen sauber aus, guckt man genauer hin, findet man aber überall alten Staub. Wir sind 2 Tage früher abgereist. Das einzig positive ist eben der Preis und die Klimaanlage im Obergeschoss. Für uns leider ein Reinfall.

La fienile di Penelope

Es war ein herrlicher Aufenthalt in absoluter Ruhe, Natur pur zum genießen. Die Unterkunft war sehr sauber, alles sehr schön und gemütlich. Alle Sehenswürdigkeiten sind prima zu erreichen, am Haus gibt es einen Pool, sowie Sonnenliegen und einen wunderschönen Sitzplatz. Die Vermieter sind sehr freundlich und helfen bei allen Fragen. Wer Leben und Unterhaltung braucht ist hier sicher falsch, aber für uns war es genau richtig und wir haben uns wunderbar erholt. Wir kommen sehr gerne noch einmal wieder!

heerlijk genoten in dit mooie huisje

Dit mooie huisje staat op een berg waar je eerst wel met smalle weggetjes naar toe moet, maar eenmaal aangekomen kun je heerlijk genieten van alle rust om je heen.In het zwembad konden we af en toe heerlijk afkoelen. De eigenaren zijn vriendelijk en gastvrij. Dit is een prima uitvalsbasis om naar verschillende plaatsen en bezienswaardigheden te gaan.
