Wonderful!

The cottage and its location are simply beautiful with direct view at Seggiano. There are a lot of fun activities and trips near Seggiano so we could fully enjoy every day. Peri and her husband have also been really kind hosts who helped with problems but also led us full freedom to the cottage so we could completely feel at home.

A little bit of heaven!

My partner and I spent 8 nights in the Cassetta, and we had an idyllic vacation. First off, the cottage is so beautiful, very well appointed, and extraordinarily picturesque with views of the village of Seggiano, an elegant garden, and iconic olive groves. Our kind and knowledgable host gave us great recommendations for restaurants (Sergio's place is a must!) and hot springs. We explored 4 different springs, went wine tasting, spent a night in Florence, and also spent time at our lovely cottage, walking the property through the olive trees, and exploring Seggiano on foot. We highly recommend this sweet spot, especially for those who wish to explore off the beaten path, and make new discoveries not written about in tourist guides. It's a great location for visiting the many gorgeous hill towns of Tuscany, and the hot springs -- the highlights of our stay! Kate and Robert, San Francisco, CA

I think the varied choice of things to do in southern Tuscany do make our casetta a great base for exploring. As long as you are up for driving a bit, there's a lot to see and discover. Your host, being a thoroughly discerning eater, will always give you top tips for the best places to eat!

We can't say enough wonderful things about what a great month-long stay we had, what a great host Peri was, and the lovely location of Seggiano. The listing and photos are all accurate, the casetta is incredibly charming and very well equipped. It is nestled in a beautiful and picturesque olive grove on the outskirts of the mountain village of Seggiano. An easy 10 minute walk through the grove brings you to the main town square where you can find a nice restaurant in Bar 60 and the very well stocked COOP grocery store. Further up the winding streets in the village are another local bar, Bar Tino, with fabulous views from their outdoor patio and an excellent restaurant and bar, Antico Borgo, where you can have a great meal or drink while watching the local kids play in the street. Staying at The Casetta puts you in the best spot to enjoy the views and the countryside in this less traveled area of Tuscany. From the numerous walks and hiking trails nearby to just sitting on the patio to watch the sunset, staying here provides for a magical experience.Peri is a wonderful host who was always accessible for questions and information or recommendations on local attractions or restaurants. Even though the main house is close by, our privacy was always respected and Peri went out of her way to make sure we felt at home. Overall, this is a truly unique and beautiful place to spend a holiday!

Tranquility, Beauty and Plenty to do Nearby

We visited in August to escape the heat of Greece and could not have been more delighted. The house itself was perfect for our needs. It was charming and fully appointed with everything one might need in the kitchen or otherwise. The view from the guesthouse was really unbelievable as it looked out over a tiny valley and right to the hill top medieval town of Seggiano. There is plenty to do nearby including walks on Amiata the largest dormant Volcano in Italy which hosts a ski resort which in the summer is used by hikers. Bagno Vignoni is only a 25 minute drive away where you can experience the hot springs and dine by the ancient hot spring pool used by popes and pilgrims. The owners were very helpful, gracious and real. They answered all of our questions and helped us to find new things to do. They were always reachable but not over your shoulder. The information and maps left in the cabin were also especially helpful and David even showed us a couple of towns south of us that were well worth the drive! In all we would highly recommend this beautiful slice of Tuscany. One didn't get the sense of a packed tourist destination but rather one gets a real Tuscan feel. There are also convenient grocery stores nearby which was useful as we cooked at home many nights and picnicked most afternoons. Great Value for Money too!

Wunderbarer Ort für eine Auszeit mit sehr netten Gastgebern und schöner Natur. In der Realität ist es noch schöner als auf den Bildern. Die Matratzen sind etwas fester und sehr bequem. Besonders hilfreich waren die Moskitonetze vor jedem Fenster, da es einige Mücken gab. Die Wendeltreppe hoch zum Schlafraum ist etwas eng, aber noch ok. In ein paar Gehminuten erreicht man den kleinen Lebensmittelladen, in dem man auch Brot kaufen kann, ebenso sind Restaurants fussläufig gut erreichbar. Insgesamt hat uns die gesamte Gegend sehr gut gefallen, die „Sehenswürdigkeiten“ (Pienza, Pitigliano, Sorano, Grosseto etc.) sind gut erreichbar (zwischen 30-70 min. Fahrzeit) und definitiv eine Reise wert (unbedingt den nur 3 km entfernten Garten von Daniel Spoeri besichtigen). Auch wenn die Gastgeber selbst auf dem Grundstück leben, bekommt man nicht viel voneinander mit. Wir können die Unterkunft definitiv empfehlen.

Wunderschöner Ausblick auf Seggiano. Zum Coop fußläufig durch alte Olivenbäume. Olivenölverkostung quasi nebenan. Abends draußen zu sitzen aufgrund vieler Moskitos leider ungeeignet. Das Haus hat Fliegengitter an den Fenstern. Sehr zugewandte Gastgeber. Viele wunderbare Ausflüge in der Umgebung möglich.

We hebben een heerlijke tijd gehad. Ook onze hond heeft genoten. Het huisje staat achter het huis van de eigenaren en bood veel privacy. Uitzicht op de bergen, op het standje en een heuse olijven boomgaard. Het huisje is van alle gemakken voorzien. Peri en David zijn erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam met uitleg over de prachtige omgeving. We hebben veel wandelingen gemaakt, zijn naar Siena geweest en naar het Bolseno meer, mooie plek met voldoende schaduwplekken. We hebben veel restaurantjes aangedaan, overal was het eten goed, maar tip om als je hier verblijft een keer naar Non Solo Eat Art te gaan, op nog geen 5 minuten afstand. Zouden hier zeker nog een keer terug willen komen! Rust, stilte, prachtige omgeving en toch dichtbij het stadje....nu al heimwee

Wunderbares Wohlfühlambiente

Das kleine Haus in wunderschöner Lage war für uns sofort ein Wohlfühlort. Der gepflegte, herrliche Garten mit seine vielen Blumen, die Oliven, Zypressen und Eichen drumherum haben uns total begeistert - wie natürlich der Ausblick auf Seggiano. Die Ausstattung ließ keine Wünsche offen. Wir haben uns über die gute Ausstattung, die schöne Bettwäsche und die vielen Lichtquellen sehr gefreut, weil so etwas oft zu kurz kommt. Die Kommunikation vorher und während des Aufenthalts war exzellent. Vielen Dank an Peri für die für uns wunderschöne Woche. Michaela & Uli

We had such a great time at this cottage. It’s nestled on the outskirts of this small hilltop village. Perfect for relaxing and disconnecting from the world. Peri and David are wonderful. And Beastie the cat takes her job seriously protecting the cottage and welcoming you home every day.

Two perfect weeks in Tuscany

We loved staying in this charming very comfortable house . It is situated on a picture perfect property of mature and blooming gardens and olive groves . The views all around are magnificent, including the hill top town of Seggiano across the cascading valley. It was a pleasure to see young deer and rabbits hopping among the olive trees, and we liked taking our meals outside. Often we would walk down to the local supermarket, through the olive groves. What a treat! This property is simply to be enjoyed by being here. The aromas, the sounds of bees and butterflies and birds, the colours , will awaken your senses and leave you feeling very tranquil . Katja was most gracious and attentive in welcoming us , and we felt that way for our whole stay. Two weeks was too short in this lovely corner of southern Tuscany. There is much to visit and do in the local towns as the region offers ancient history, architectural gems, superb cuisine and wineries, and the most magical vistas. Yes, this place has it all. And we are already making plans to return.

Ein wunderschönes kleines Haus

Auch wenn die Vermieter nicht persönlich anwesend waren, wurden wir bereits vor der Ankunft mit vielen nützlichen Informationen versorgt und erwartet. Hausübergabe (und Rückgabe) verliefen dank K. problemlos. Das Haus ist ein kleines Juwel. Sehr gut ausgestattete Küche, liebevoll ausgesuchte Accessoires. Alles sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Der Außenbereich geht übergangslos in den Olivenhain über und bietet schattige Plätze zu jeder Tageszeit. Obwohl das Haupthaus der Eigentümer recht nahe ist, hat man durch die Anordnung der Gebäude ausreichend Privatsphäre. Wären wir Frühaufsteher, hätten wir uns über einen Sonnenschirm gefreut. Das Vordach bietet erst ab ca. 11:30 Uhr Schatten. Alles in allem ein schöner Ort zum Entspannen. Vielen Dank für eine wunderbare Woche.

So good it hurts to leave

What a beautiful place to chill and explore southern Tuscany. The small but perfectly adequate property is set next to the owners house overlooking Olive groves and the unspoilt village of Seggiano. We ate in the taverna at the very top of the village three times and found the food very nice and the atmosphere welcoming, we did walk it once but managed to find car parking closeby twice. Bar 60 which is easily walkable we did not like although maybe it’s more attractive when it’s warm enough to sit outside. Peri and David are excellent hosts offering help and advice prior to our arrival and the delightful Katja looked after us very well throughout our stay. We found a simply stunning restaurant in nearby Vivo d’Orcia, Taverna Del Pian Delle Mura which is now our favourite in all of Italy but others in neighbouring towns were also of a very high quality. We used the house as a base to explore the surrounding hilltop towns plus Porto Santa Stefano on the coast which is definitely worth a visit. Fantastic holiday thank you Peri David and Katja

Thanks Sean - so glad to hear your enthusiasm and that you enjoyed your time here. Thanks for the feedback on the Borgo up at the top of Seggiano and I'll add the Taverna Del Pian Delle Mura restaurant to my top tips. The cook Stefania at Bar 60's has just become a grandmother and has been away from time to time. Her stand in sous chef is not the best .... it sounds like you might have eaten there when Stef was away. Sorry that it was a disappointment. Loved the photos you sent - they're great!

Our third visit to this beautiful location and surrounding countryside

This is our third visit to this beautiful little house. In a stunning peaceful location. Well positioned to travel North or South. We visited Siena twice this time, which is about 80 minutes away. Enjoyed a lovely walk up to the top of Seggiano. Also visited Pienza and Cortona. Lovely little towns. The countryside is stunning. Beastie the cat also kept us company a lot of the time that we were relaxing in the garden. Most evenings we looked a meal and eat outside in the garden Thanks to Katja who was contactable if there were any problems (there weren't any) if the owners were not staying nearby. 10/10. Just planning our next visit..........

Charming, quaint, comfortable, spectacular views!

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time during our stay in the charming little cassita in Seggiano! The accommodations were so charming, comfortable, clean, and above all, offered the most spectacular views of the Tuscan countryside. Peri was a marvelous host. We had daily visits from the cat, Beastie, whom we enjoyed. This was our first visit to Italy and our stay was exactly as I had pictured it to be.

An oasis amongst the olives

This is a delightful stone cottage, beautifully furnished, set amongst mature plants and flowers beside a picturesque olive grove that sweeps down to the village below. We enjoyed the quietness of the surroundings and the fabulous view of Seggiano nearby. "Beastie", the resident cat adopted us when we arrived and made us feel completely at home, as also did Peri, the owner of the property. All in all, we had a wonderful few days here and were very sad to leave. Nearby are the gardens of Daniel Spoerri, which are a curiosity to visit, but well worth going to, especially on a sunny day. But do wear your walking shoes. Castel del Piano is the closest place to go for a mixture of shops, bars and restaurants and a local market. We had a delicious meal at Taverna del Loggia. All in all, thoroughly recommended.

Schöne Unterkunft im Olivenhain

Normalerweise sind wir keine Freunde von Internetbewertungen. Bei dieser Unterkunft machen wir eine Ausnahme! Alle, die Ruhe und Inspiration in einer wunderschönen Landschaft geniessen möchten, finden hier den richtigen Ort. In einem renovierten Backsteingebäude mit einem malerischen Blick auf Seggiano, befinden sich zwei Räume, die sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet sind. Die Wohnküche ist sehr gut ausgestattet. Wir frühstückten inmitten einer blühenden Landschaft. Peri und David sind wunderbare Gastgeber mit nettem britischen Humor. Wir empfehlen diese Ferienwohnung gerne. Eva und Bijan

Fabulous place to stay, well equipped kitchen, stunning views and location, helpful and kind hosts.

Overall a brilliant holiday cottage in a fabulous unspoilt location in Toscana. We had not visited this part of Italy before and Peri our kind host gave us lots of valuable information both in advance and while we were at the cottage to enable us to enjoy our stay to the full. The surrounding countryside is amazingly beautiful and has lovely walks from the cottage, and further afield, as well as a wealth of historical churches and lovely hill towns. The fantastic Daniel Spoerri sculpture garden is very close and is exceptional, as is its restaurant! In fact amazing locally produced foods, pecorino, fresh pasta and other local delicacies are readily available just a short walk through the olive grove which surrounds the cottage. We had a wonderful relaxing time in Seggiano.
