Review of Villa
This elegant villa is spacious with heavenly, breathtaking views. The pool and gardens are impressive and well-maintained. The different areas inside and out to work or be creative - including a Yamaha piano keyboard - were wonderful.
The breakfast service of coffee and croissants was appreciated. If it had included tea, milk, cereal and some fresh fruit it would have been ideal.
The main draw back was the loss of WiFi for much of the stay which resulted in eye watering roaming charges and missing deadlines as the stay had been planned with decent WiFi being available at the villa. This issue should be clarified on the website.
Also, a few more groceries on arrival including tea, bread, eggs, cheese and a few vegetables for example would have made for an easier start as it is a drive away from shops. (This has been done at other Invitation to Tuscany villas eg Villa Goga).
The pizza making option advertised on the website was not available and the cost of a chef coming to prepare a dinner was high for a large group. The meal was delicious but a simpler proposition of a light dinner at a more affordable cost would have been desirable. We were not able to eat the large quantity of food served.
We discovered the sizable train station down the hill in Pontichino (not apparent from the main road) and took the train to Florence which made for an pleasant day out.
Sofia, Sara and Corrado did their best to help us and we appreciated their efforts. Owner Arthur called as well which was also appreciated. Overall we had a special and memorable extended family gathering in a beautiful villa.
