Een hele karakteristieke vakantievilla. Wij hebben met onze hele familie een geweldig verblijf gehad in deze Toscaanse villa. Huis is mooi, zwembad is mooi, omgeving is mooi en alle bezienswaardigheden bevinden zich binnen 1 uur rijden vanaf de villa.

Review for stay from 15 May 2015 to 22 May 2015
This was a perfect villa for the six of us. There is lots of room, privacy and beautiful views. The villa was very clean and comfortable, with a fully- equipped kitchen. We would take a short hike up the hill to Castelvecchio for basic food supplies and fabulous cafe latte. We often ate at Da Carla's just down the hill for pizza & pasta, and highly recommend it. The on-site owners were helpful but non-intrusive, offering us homemade jam, rustic bread and fresh honeycomb. The only downfall was the intermittent internet. This was a holiday that we will always remember!
