Sassalbo vacation rentals

Great way to appreciate the breathtaking views and amenities of this lovely property. We were 2 families (4 adults 4 teenagers) and had such a wonderful time. If you remember only one comment from me, it’s that, the pictures don’t do it justice.

We just came off a one week stay at this property and had a fabulous stay! The villa itself is very spacious and we had more than enough room for my husband and me on the upper level and our four adult children plus 2 more family guests for a couple of nights. Everything was provided for us so we didn’t need to purchase anything other than food for the week. Simonetta and her dad Antonio were awesome and spoiled us all week! We arrived to a fully stocked fridge full of beverages and pizza and a dessert. When I told Antonio I didn’t drink coffee, the next day I found my favourite tea. The following day he picked fresh berries off of their farm and dropped them off and another day we had fresh hazelnuts also picked from their property delivered. Whenever we had a question, Simonetta answered us right away. She also gave suggestions on some fun things to do in town. On our final day, my son-in-law needed to find engine coolant and because it was a Saturday the gas stations were closed. He ran into Antonio in town and he took him to see his mechanic who ensured he got him what he needed. On our final night Simonetta made us a delicious lasagna and tiramisu complete with limoncello and more red wine to complete our wonderful vacation. These personal touches will never be forgotten by this wonderful family who owns this villa. They live at the villa but you never see them except for Antonio who comes first thing in the morning to clean the pool. The drive to get to the property was full of beautiful scenery and mountainous, winding roads. So much beauty all around us. The nearby midieval villages were nice to explore too and one was within walking distance. We did day trips to Cinque Terre and Florence as well as Forte De Mari with its beautiful beaches. We also enjoyed having some local gelato from Lago Gramazzolano which was the most beautiful lake about a 10 minute drive away. One of our highlights was also the night we hired Chef Alessio to cook for us! What an incredible meal and experience for us. Even his table setting was beautiful. What a lovely eve we had dining al Fresco under the Tuscan hillside. Incredible stay and such special moments enjoyed by our family. Will be remembered forever.
