Our group of 9 thoroughly enjoyed staying at this property, and interacting with the excellent host. It was a beautiful base for relaxation, and day trips to other destinations.
Everything was perfect, the area, the house and Natalia who was very nice, helpful and informational. All these contributed to our family having a very pleasant stay.
Thank you!!!
Natalia and Alberto our hosts were amazing. From the moment we booked all the way through our departure they were so accommodating. The recommendations Natalia provided us was so helpful. She responded immediately to any questions we had. The property was absolutely gorgeous. More amazing than the pictures. There were 6 of us adults staying at the property and we all had plenty of private space and lots of activities to share from cooking to games to swimming in the amazing pool while looking out over the amazing view of the valley and mountains. We enjoyed the walking tour in the hills just behind the house to a small village which Natalia suggested to us. The coffee shop that she suggested there has excellent selection of coffee and pastries as well as variety of grocery needs. Monica was very kind and welcoming as well as the locals who were at the shop. We really enjoyed sharing in conversation with them. The property has so much to offer with the best views and plenty of amenities. Wonderful 500 year old olive trees and stone walls with walking paths. We are eager to return to this incredible property hosted by Natalia. Everything was amazing. Thank you so very much Natalia and Alberto for having us and we look forward to our next booking with you. Truly a number 1 pick for 5 star property.

Dear Ed! Thank you so much for your warm and wonderfully positive review. I was truly delighted that people like you chose to be my guests.
Our conversations gave me many valuable insights. Meeting you has been one of those rare, life-changing encounters that stay with you.
I am so happy that I was able to share with you those breathtaking landscapes stretching to the horizon, the spectacular 360-degree views, and the history of these places and the paths where little Leonardo Da Vinci once ran.
I wish you every happiness, good health, and success in everything you do!
Very nice and comfortable. Awesome Pool and Outdoor kitchen. Easy comunication, very polite, fast and helpfull host.
We might come back again!

Family holiday in Villa with wonderful view
We had a very nice week in the villa. We did different trips every day but had nice mornings and evenings in the pool area. We used the cooking area for cooking and barbequing. The first days were quite cool, also inside the house. But the weather become better for each day.
The spaces are great for larger groups to have space away and privacy for breaks. The pool and outdoor dining area was amazing. As expected, water pressure in these older homes can be inconsistent, but was not a problem. The home is a bit away from major highways, so day trips were a little more local driving, but didn’t limit us. Host family is nearby for support, but non intrusive and very accommodating. We had a wonderful dinner prepared our final night and everything was very hospitable.
We where two families in total of 10 people. The villa has a remarkable view and pool area with outdoor kitchen. A table big enough for all of us to sit next to the poolarea and eat breakfast/dinner. The way up to Olive Tree Suites was a bit tricky with narrow turns. I would recommend to arrive if possible when its light outside. At least the first time. We had a great vacation.
We rented a villa in Lamporecchio – Vinci in week 32 via VRBO. Booking was easy. The house was clean and ready for 6 adults and 4 children. It’s located on a steep plot, making it unsuitable for ball games. The house is split into two apartments without a shared entrance; only half is rented, as the host lives in the other part. This should be clearly stated in the listing.The pool area was great and clean. The outdoor kitchen worked but was worn and needs upgrading. Sunbeds, chairs, and parasols were of poor quality and broke during use. The host replaced parasols when asked. A playground was listed but no longer exists—only an old swing set. Photos showed a terrace with a view, but it belongs to the host and isn’t accessible.Furniture and kitchenware were outdated. Kitchens need renovation, and several fridges didn’t work. Kitchen items were incomplete and inconsistent.Suggestions:– Clearly state host’s presence and rental scope.– Remove or update misleading photos.– Replace broken furniture, parasols, and appliances.– Provide complete, matching kitchenware.– Renovate both indoor and outdoor kitchens.– Restore or remove mention of the playground.Overall, the place was clean, and we had a good holiday.

Dear Benny, thank you for your review. We are very happy that you enjoyed your holiday. We are also pleased that you raised some minor concerns since this allows us to address the issues straight away and improve our services. We are already updating the cooking facilities by the pool with new appliances and new matching sets of kitchen ware, and all other matters have been attended to.
We hope to welcome you and your family again in the future.

TIRED and NEGLECTED
What a DISAPPOINTMENT. We seriously considered formally complaining & searching for a suitable alternative but this was prevented by the lack of reliable/sometimes non-existent Wifi, as well as the logistical nightmare of finding & making a last minute booking in the vicinity. After 30 hours travel from Australia we reluctantly decided to stay, the only saving grace being the pool & adjoining outdoor entertainment/kitchen but even there only the freezer section of the fridge worked. To sum up, the property is TIRED/NEGLECTED & the website omitting or misleading including:- The last 2 klm of access to the villa is via a steep, narrow, winding, rough road culminating in a tight parking area & turning circle- The “villa” building comprises 3 semi-detached self-contained dwellings under 1 roof. One dwelling (approx 1/3 of the building & grounds) is occupied by the undisclosed resident host - The website lead photo (balcony with the view of the Tuscan valley) is attached to the host’s private dwelling NOT accessible to guests - Air con is not available to all guest areas but limited to 2 of 4 brms in the main guest dwelling & kitchen in a separate semi-detached guest dwelling. Instead pedestal fans only are available - no insect screens on windows or doors- All bed mattresses are decades old “lumpy” or sagging inner-spring or thin foam & pillows old thin & saggy- 2 small TV’s don’t work.- After a week, host provided a replacement Wifi modem with limited range

This is a serious complaint and I am very sorry for any inconvenience caused.
The main point was the lack of internet, and as you know, when I went to see the local internet provider, they said that during the recent storm a falling tree damaged the main internet cable.
This was unfortunate and totally out of our control.
I must also address your other complaints. The drive to the villa is a typical Tuscan country lane in the midst of olive groves. It might be something you did not like but most guests treasure its beauty.
I live in a completely separate part of the building and the layout of the property with its plans are made available at the time of booking. When I am on site, at the time the guests are away or at night, I do the daily chores, such as checking the pool water, disposing of the garbage, watering the gardens. I am also available for anything that the guests might request.
The day that you left I found out about one of the four refrigerators partially not working and that has been immediately replaced with a new one. It would have been replaced earlier should you have reported its malfunctioning. I always promptly deal with any request from the guests, and my mission is to make everyone happy. That's what makes me happy!
Nous avons passé 2 magnifiques semaines dans cette belle maison idéalement placée pour visiter toutes les plus belles villes de Toscane. La maison est isolée,très au calme ,et notre hôte était adorable

Thank you so very much for your wonderful review, and thank you for such a lovely compliment!
I will also cherish the very best memories of your stay here. I’m truly happy that I was able to share with you some of my own joy and fascination with this place — the breathtaking views that unfold before you from these beautiful Tuscan hills, the scent of rare wild herbs, the distant bark of a dog, or the sound of the church bell in Porciano, and that wonderful sense of peace created by the almost ringing silence and tranquillity of the countryside.
I hope that one day you will return here again, and I will be delighted to do everything I can to make your stay as rejuvenating and enriching as possible, filled with energy and aesthetic pleasure.
Det var et fantastisk sted. Hvis man er flere familier afsted, er der både mulighed for at alle kan sidde og spise og hygge sammen, og at man kan trække sig og få lidt privatliv hver for sig. Det var en fantastisk vært, der både før og under besøget var utrolig hjælpsom i forhold til indtjeningen og oplevelser i området. Vi nød det store overdække område oppe ved poolen utrolig meget. Vi lavede mad sammen, spillede spil og snakkede.

Dear Christian,
it has been a real pleasure having you and your family to stay in our villa.
I wish you all the best and hope to meet you again in the future.
Your host Natalia.
La propriété est en hauteur, avec une vue magnifique. Très belle piscine, avec une terrasse ombragée et une cuisine d’été. Natala est une hôtesse charmante et de bon conseil. Notre semaine de vacances a été très agréable, trop vite passée.
Nous sommes partis en vacances en famille à 3 couples dont 2 avec enfants. Chacun avait son coin pour dormir dans le calme. Les 2 chambres de l'étage ne sont pas pourvues de la climatisation.
L'espace piscine est très appréciable, prévoir plus de vaisselle dans la cuisine d'été.
Natalia est accueillante, de bons conseils.
Vacances très agréables dans cette grande maison.
Nous prenions nos repas sur la terrasse ombragée près de la piscine.
L’altitude de la maison nous permettait d’avoir toujours une fraîcheur bien agréable.
Natalia est une hôtesse discrète et charmante.
Séjour impeccable, villa très vaste et spacieuse, piscine très agréable et Nathalia a été disponible pour nous renseigner. Un sans faute. Seul petit bémol: le wifi qui serait à améliorer.
Vi var 3 generationer bestående af 10 personer i alt.
Alt fungerede perfekt under vores ophold på olivengården herunder stor og lækker pool med tilhørende grill og køkkenfaciliteter, hvor vi opholdt os det meste af tiden.
Vi blev mødt med stor og venlig hjælpsomhed fra værtsparrets
side, som også bidrog med gode råd og ideer under opholdet.
