We just spent a week at JJ's house in Tuscany over the Easter break. The house is beautiful, the rooms light and airy, all very typical of the area and nicely decorated. It was equipped with all the little things we needed, a hairdryer, washing machine. We bought cleaning/washing products and did not need to, there were loads when we got there. It was clean, the upholstery, decorations and mattresses where either new or with little use (I'm very allergic to dust and had no issues whatsoever - can't say the same about the hotel I stayed at the night before!!) JJ gave us lots of tips and helpful advice from the start and made us feel right at home. Olti is the caretaker and the nicest person, Google translate helped us with our Italian, and we got to try their lovely olive oil.
The house is nicely located for day trips to florence, siena, pisa, and other villages. I wished it had been warmer for us to use the pool more - JJ opened it especially, but it was a bit chilly. The kids still played there a lot and used the ping-pong tables. All rooms have a/c and heating. We used it to cut the chill at bedtime, but it would be equally handy to cool off in the hot summer days. Even my mum, who picks fault with everything, loved the house! We recommend!
