Beautiful quiet location, lovely helpful hosts

This was an excellent central location for a visit to the quaint Tuscan hilltop towns of Volterra, San Gimignano (not to be missed) and the medieval town of Certaldo. The property was in a rural area, very beautiful and quiet. Maria Luisa and Giuseppi maintain a lovely home with a gorgeous view of the Tuscan hillside. There are many places on the property to sit, relax and take in the stunning view. Unfortunately, the apartment, small though clean and modern, is a basement apartment, with few windows and no view--a real disappointment for us. Also, there are many steps to navigate to reach the apartment. Our other complaint was that , unlike other VRBO properties, there were no supplies in the pantry (coffee, sugar, tea etc.), although Giuseppi did present us with a bottle of local wine. With this said , we could not ask for better hosts than Maria Luisa and Giuseppe. They were lovely people and very welcoming. They went out of their way to help us whenever we needed them. For these reasons, I would recommend this property to other VRBO guests.

They Rescued us. Such kind people.

We were eating in a restaurant in Certaldo and trying to contact the B&B where we had a reservation. The staff were very kind trying to help us contact them. After no luck a gentleman came out of the kitchen and told us his family had a B&B close by. He took us here and it is so charming! We are in the smaller apartment. It has everything a person could need. Highlights are a large, well equipped bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub. Very nice kitchen with a washing machine. The host is lovely and has already called to check in on us this morning. Terrific price.

Excellent sejour.

Quel super accueil ! Grand merci. Nous nous sommes tout de suite sentis a l'aise. Le logement n est pas trop grand mais en toscane on vit dehors. Deux endroits pour nous avec la location mais de nombreux autres pour nous poser dans cette belle propriété. A ameliorer : le descriptif du gite sur le site. On ne s attend pas q il soit au sous sol mais au niveau de la terrasse que l on peut voir en photos. Le gite est bien équipé et bien situé pour rayonner dans cette belle Toscane. Encore bravo et merci à nos hôtes.

10 Day Stay in Tuscany

Had a great stay! Very warm and welcoming host and a great appartement that stays nice and cool during the hot summer days. Pool was always accessible and everything around the perimeter was being maintained nicely. Perfect location if you want to travel to other cities in Tuscany such as Sienna, Pisa, Firenze & many more!

très bien

Appartement trés agréable. Propriétaire sympathique et très accueillant. L'emplacement est excellent : proche des principaux sites à visiter, au coeur du Chianti, très calme, et proche de toutes les commodités. Au niveau de l'appartement : propriété très bien tenue, propre, et très bien située. Les photos correspondent parfaitement à l'annonce. Toutefois, à préciser qu'il s'agit d'un gîte, situé dans une villa (très belle), avec 3 autres gîtes. Mais tout a été fait pour favoriser le confort de chacun. L'annonceur précise qu'il n'y a pas de clim : en effet, l'appartement restait toujours assez frais, malgrés des chaleurs très élevées. Nous recommandons cette adresse. Que du bonheur !

Aucune hésitation à avoir!

Nous garderons un très beau souvenir de ce séjour dans un cadre magnifique. Joseph, qui parle très bien le français, a été un hôte chaleureux, bienveillant et toujours disponible. Tout est fait pour qu'on s'y sente bien! La maison est très bien située pour visiter la Toscane, au centre des principaux points touristiques. Certaldo est un très joli petit village. A recommander!

Nous avons bien apprécié la piscine et l'espace barbecue. Enfin nous avons eu un très bon accueil de Giuseppe et Maria Luisa, très à l'écoute et généreux.
