Perfect property for our group of friends with plenty of bedrooms & space for people to socialise. The view from the terrace & swimming pool is spectacular! We absolutely loved our stay at Villa Raffaelli and look forward to coming back soon.
Vacation with friends in an absolut gorgeous House
We had an great time in Fosciandorawith 10 friends. The House has everything you need including a Jacuzzi, Pool and a big terrace with amazing views of the Garfagana valley. We probably come again next year. Leonardo and his staff were great hosts. A big thanks for the great time.
Villa Raffaelli is located in a a highly elevated position offering great views over many valleys .The house has very large entertainment areas and the bedrooms have easy access to bathroom facilities. Suits large family or small group of unrelated couples . A great amount of history is associated with the Villa which makes the stay very interesting and enjoyable.
Unser Aufenthalt in der Villa Raffaelli war wunderschön. Wir waren eine Gruppe von 10 Freunden und die Villa bot ausreichend Platz für alle von uns. Auch der Außenbereich hat unsere Erwartungen übertroffen. Den Pool und die zahlreichen Liegemöglichkeiten nutzten wir aufgrund des herbstlichen Wetters eher selten aber dafür boten der Whirlpool, die Tischtennisplatte und die Fahrräder - welche zur Unterkunft dazu sind - tolle Möglichkeiten den Spätsommer vor der Villa zu genießen.
Leonardo ist ein sehr freundlicher, aufmerksamer und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber. Die Kommunikation mit ihm war super und er gab uns immer viele Empfehlungen oder Angebote für Aktivitäten. Ab und an schaute er nach uns, um sich zu vergewissern ob wir etwas bräuchten.
Die Villa ist ein absolutes Highlight für große Gruppen, die eine ruhige und entspannte Zeit in der Toskana genießen wollen.
Sehr schöner Aufenthalt in atemberaubender Atmosphäre
Leonardo hat dafür gesorgt, dass unser Aufenthalt unvergesslich bleibt. Das Anwesen ist wirklich schön und immer sauber gehalten.
Die Landschaft um das Anwesen taugt gut für Wander- und Radtouren.
Absolute Empfehlung! Vielen Dank, Leonardo und alle anderen!
Viel erwartet, noch mehr bekommen.
Perfektes Grossfamilientreffen. Haus, Garten und Poolbereich schön gepflegt mit Liebe zum Detail.
Vermieter jederzeit unkompliziert kontaktierbar ohne Kontrolle seinerseits. Schöne Weinprobe Vorort in der Villa durch Winzer aus dem Tal, durch Vermieter vermittelt.
Im alten und authentisch eingerichteten Palazzo fühlt man sich sofort verzaubert und in zurückliegende Jahrhunderte versetzt. Hoch auf den Hügeln hat man fantastische Ausblicke auf die Natur und den Sonnenuntergang von der riesigen Terrasse mit alten Pflanzen oder vom ruhig und abgetrennt liegenden Pool.
Man kann in größerer Gruppe Ruhe finden oder die umliegenden Dörfer mit tollen Lokalen und Kirchen oder Naturschauspiele erkunden.
Die Badezimmer sind einfach, die Küche komplett eingerichtet. Das Hausinnere pittoresk und ein durchaus interessantes Sammelsurium von Antiquitäten.
Leonardo und sein Team sind immer erreichbar und bemüht, Fragen und kleinere Probleme rasch zu lösen.
Vielen Dank!
