Wonderful experience!
The house and garden were lovely and relaxing. Vito and Katerina were amazing, welcoming hosts, ready with anything we might need and concerned for our comfort and experience. Vito spent an afternoon telling us of olive oil production processes and italian wines. We would most definitely plan to return!

Very disappointed.
We were greeted by Vito and his wife with a warm welcome. However, we were soon told that our stay did not include heat - that we would have to pay extra for heat. The apartment was cold - it was only 10 degrees and rainy when we arrived. We turned the heat on so we could warm up and left it on overnight, although we turned it down for sleeping. We were lectured on using the heat again the next day and told we were going to have a large bill at the end if we kept using the heat. As a result, we were cold and uncomfortable our entire stay. We left after only 4 days, even though we paid for 7 days.

A perfect stay
We have enjoyed our stay in this house very much. It's quiet, there is a lot of space in and around the house and it is a perfect location to explore the environment. The owners, Vito and Kate, are very nice and helpful. On request they cook for their guests and that is highly recommended. Margriet and Angela

Great accommodation
Great accommodation. The house is very quiet in the nature, the garden is very big and very well kept. You also have the possibility to buy fresh vegetables, homemade olive oil or eggs from the chickens, we even got zuchnini for free and had access to many different herbs in the garden. Vito and his wife were very nice and helpful hosts. who live right next door. But that was really not a problem, because you really had your privacy and could also turn on the music in the evening without any problems. Always happy to stay again!👍

Traumquartier
Den Aufenthalt bei Vito unsd Katy haben wir sehr genossen. Allein die Optik des Quartiers mit den großen, alten Balken und der gemauerten Kücheneinrichtung, wunderbar. Das Haus ist auch ganz liebevoll eingerichtet, mit vielen unterschiedlichen Lampen, vielen Bildern an den Wänden und großen Mengen Infomaterial. Es war uns möglich den ganzen parkartigen Garten zu nutzen, inklusive der vielen tollen Kräuter. Ganz besonders möchte ich die Gastgeber Vito und Katy loben, die immer für uns da waren, sei es mit Hinweisen zu unseren Ausflügen oder mit immer neuen Kostproben aus dem Garten, auch das biologische Olivenöl von den eigenen Olivenbäumen war spitze.

Toskana pur
Unser Urlaub war einfach toll. Lage super ruhig. Alles sauber und gepflegt! Grosse geräumige Wohnung im Toskana Stil. Unsere Gastgeber Vito und Katharina waren super nett und zuvorkommend! Supermarkt in der Nähe. Zum nächsten Bahnhof 15 min mit dem Auto. Von dort kann man ganz leicht Florenz,Siena, Pisa usw für kleines Geld erreichen. Sehr gut möglich, sogar sehr wahrscheinlich dass wir wieder diese Wohnung buchen.

Alles wat je wil
Het huis is een goede uitvalsbasis om Toscane te ontdekken. Vito en Kate maken je vakantie onvergetelijk. Ze zijn attent en helpen graag. De diners die ze voor ons hebben verzorgd waren zeer goed en erg gezellig. De aandacht die ze ons gaven was leuk.

Es war so erholsam und wunderschön
Vito und Katharine sind tolle und einfühlsame Vermieter. Wir wurden sehr herzlich empfangen und durften den großen Kräutergarten nutzen. Das fanden wir nicht selbstverständlich. Vielen Dank für tolle Rezeptvorschläge und gute Tipps. Wir haben die Ruhe auf dem traumhaften Grundstück sehr genossen. Um die Toscana zu erkunden ist das Haus ideal. Vito und Katharina: Gracie Mille!

Ein Ort der Entschleunigung!
Wir haben uns vom ersten Tag an zuhause gefühlt bei Vito und Katharina . Ein wunderschönes Haus , eingebettet zwischen hügeligen Feldern. Wundervolle herzliche Gastgeber, die man einfach mögen muß. So manches Mal haben wir mit den beiden ein Glas Wein getrunken und haben philosophiert über Gott und die Welt.
