An authentic Tuscan experience
The description of the property is exactly as described, only better! The hospitality provided by the owner was superb. A fully equipped kitchen, recommendations to nearby attractions and restaurants all added to this wonderful experience!

Una semana en la Toscana
Estuvimos una semana en la casa y fue genial. La casa es amplia y en medio del campo. Cuidado porque para subir a la habitación hay una escalera de caracol. Nosotros fuimos la familia (4 personas) y el perro, que se lo pasó genial. Cuidado que el jardín no está vallado. Nosotros no tuvimos problemas. Los anfitriones geniales, tanto Vito como Katerine muy amables y cercanos. Siempre dispuestos para lo que necesitábamos. Nos ofrecieron aceite que hacen ellos, pimientos y tomates de su huerto. Un placer la estancia en su casa.

Toller Urlaub mit leichten Problemen
Alles super außer das es kein Trinkwasser aus der Leitung gab, die Waschmaschine und der Geschirrspüler nicht funktioniert haben und die Klimaanlage aus der Beschreibung Aufpreis kostete….. das Haus,Wetter und Gegend waren super. Von ihrer Agentur habe ich bei meinen Anrufen mehr erwartet und überlege mir Rechtsmittel einzulegen da bis heute jegliche Antwort von ihnen fehlt. Das ist sehr enttäuschend!

Wonderfully situated little house
We spent two weeks in this small place in the middle of Tuscany. And we enjoyed it very, very much! Vito and Katarina are wonderful hosts. Always helpful and always with very great tips for excursions and places you wouldn't know otherwise. We were also allowed to help ourselves to their garden and always had fresh tomatoes and herbs. The house is a bit secluded in the middle of the hills. It is nice and quiet and relaxing. We loved it! For those who dare: There are also two bus lines from the main road to Empoli. You just have to look up the times on the internet, as the times given at the bus stop are not really correct. So you can also easily get to Florence, Siena or Pisa from here. Or you can listen to Vito and visit the less touristy places in the area and enjoy these little insider tips! Thanks
