Such a lovely property and host. Apartment was meticulously clean. Especially loved the rustic Tuscan feel and the quality of the apartment finishes. Host was very sweet, attentive but discreet. Pool was cool and deep. Air conditioning cooled the space but it was still uncomfortable for us in the 36 degree plus heat; Host kindly provided a fan. Driveway a little rough but doable. Would return but perhaps in spring when it is a little cooler.

Great place

This place was beautiful! Probably one of the cleanest places I've ever stayed. Laura was so helpful with anything we needed. The pool was amazing, we used almost everyday. Very central location. We visited florence several times and also siena, San Gimignano and greve. All within 40 minutes driving. Laura also had some great suggestions for eating. I would love to come back again. Thank you Laura for sharing your wonderful home!

The house s very well located, especially if you plan to visit towns such as Florence, San Gimignano, Siena. It is next door to San Donato, a lovely Tuscan village and surrounded by vineyards and olive trees.The surroundings are truly stunning!The accommodation is a good size for 4 people (though the fridge is quite small for 4 if you plan to do regular cooking) and really pleasant and rustic. I was also really clean. The beds were a bit hard for us but Laura did her best to make us feel comfortable.The pool is fantastic and really enjoyable especially when it is hot!The hosts Laura and Sonia were very friendly, responsive, accomodating, and happy to offer recommendations. We hope to be back in the future!

Beautiful Chianti

This BEAUTIFUL, unique property made for a lovely 4 night stay. (Bring your slippers as the floors can be a bit rough on your socks, but otherwise a very beautiful, CLEAN property) Beds / pillows are a teeny bit uncomfortable, but the suite is incredibly clean, the hosts so friendly & AMAZING. We enjoyed the solitude very much after driving from a BUSY stay in Florence. Wineries nearby, as well as the beautiful town of San Donato. Owners are SO lovely, property/ pool lovely, it’s a win win. *Note there is no hot tub as listed. Beautiful bathroom with large sink, great shower. Wardrobes in both bedrooms & desks, each suitable for either a makeup table or computer desk. Washing machine on site worked great, drying rack provided outside. Wifi was a bit weak. For a peaceful get away this is the place for sure! Grocery store nearby Owner responsive to any & every question. Thankyou Laura & Sonia for all your help, so appreciated.

The house was near the small town of San Donato. 5 minute drive. I thought it was the best part of our trip. Tiny town, and if there were any tourists I couldn’t tell. Really authentic. And super neat and clean. One great little restaurant La Toppa, and a super pizza shop in the center of town. House was really nice, all the reviews were right. Only negative was the bumpy driveway.

Herrliche Ruhe

Alles wie beschrieben vorgefunden. Sehr sauber, Kücheneinrichtung ok und für uns ausreichend. Liegt etwas abseits , deshalb haben wir es auch ausgesucht um die sehr vollen Innenstädte von Florenz, Pisa und Siena ab Nachmittag am sehr gepflegten Pool ausklingen zu lassen.Sehr freundliche , familiäre Vermieter, gepflegtes Anwesen.Restaurantauswahl in der näheren Umgebung von Pizzeria bis Toskanaküche erreichbar, wer will auch über den steilen und steinigen Zufahrtsweg auch zu Fuß machbar, aber sportlich . 1 kleiner Supermarkt im Ort, der aber auch herrliche Oliven, frische Schinken und Käseauswahl bietetZum ausruhen perfekt,

Erholung pur!

Wir hatten mit unseren beiden erwachsenen Kindern herrliche 2 Wochen in der Ferienwohnung von Laura und ihrer Familie. Die Familie wohnt in einem separaten Haus auf dem weitläufigen Gelände, ist immer ansprechbar, aber zurückhaltend. Den tollen Pool (mit unterschiedlicher Tiefe) nutzen die Gäste der beiden Wohnungen und die Eigentümer gemeinsam, aber man kommt sich nie in die Quere, es gibt klare Absprachen. Wir haben es so genossen, zum Frühstück den in Deutschland sooo seltenen Wiedehopf (Upupa) zu beobachten und den Gesängen von Pirol, Zwergohreule und Zikaden zu lauschen. Sonst hört man nichts, außer ab und zu Verkehr von der nahe gelegenen Straße. Die Wohnung ist zweckmäßig eingerichtet, wer kochen will, sollte sich eine kleine individuelle Reise-Kochausstattung mitnehmen (ich habe immer Gewürze und scharfe Messer dabei). Die Gegend bietet so viele zauberhafte, schnell erreichbare kleine Orte abseits der "klassischen" Ziele Florenz, San Gimignano und Siena. Unbedingt San Donato, Greve, Castellina und Radda besuchen! Vielen Dank für die wunderschöne Zeit, wir kommen wieder!!! Und den Ausblick aus dem Schlafzimmer werden wir vermissen!

Wunderbares Feriendomizil in malerischer Landschaft

Wir haben zwei herrliche Wochen in einer gut ausgestatteten und geschmackvoll landestypisch eingerichteten Wohnung verbracht. Das Ensemble der Gebäude auf dem Anwesen verschmilzt harmonisch mit den Hügeln der Toskana. Wer die etwas steile und gewundene Zufahrt (mit normalen PKW befahrbar) gemeistert hat, wird mit sofortiger Urlaubsstimmung belohnt! In dem großzügigen Swimmingpool haben wir viele erfrischende Stunden verbracht. Die Gastgberin Laura mitsamt ihrer Familie hat uns freundlich empfangen und war jederzeit ansprechbar. Von hier aus nochmal vielen herzlichen Dank!

Détente au coeur du Chianti

Famille de 2 adultes et un bébé de 17 mois. Nous avons été très bien accueillis par Sonia. Super semaine au milieu des oliviers et des vignes. La maison est bien équipée et confortable. Extérieur très agréable avec la terrasse pour les repas, la piscine et le grand jardin. Point de chute intéressant pour visiter la Toscane à mi chemin de Sienne et Florence. Quelques commerces et restaurants à San Donato in Poggio à quelques minutes. Très bonne expérience.

Wonderful house with a nearly private pool and fantastic view

We booked this house for a week and enjoyed our very calm, relaxing and quiet stay a lot! Thanks to Laura the landlord - she was very supportive, helpful and a kind biz partner! The house is located on a small hill, the path (not street ;-) ) is a typical Tuscany landscape style - I wouldn't use a sports car to come to the house. However, being there we had so, sooo fantastic views around in the Chianti area and to the little village San Donato. Behind us were trees. The pool could be used for only the 7 people we were there in summary (with the other house) and the owners who live next to "our" house. We saw her every day in the best manner. The house itself is furnished with really nice, typical Tuscany / Italian furniture - it felt very cosy and warm from the very beginning. Dishes and pots are there, anything else you should bring with you, incl. salt & pepper, toilet paper and the fundamental things you need. Anything else you can buy in the Coop 5min per car. Net-net: I can't recommend this flat to anybody since we will definitely come back - alone and with friends for the other house! And we want to have the houses available for us and our next stay ;-)

Schöne Ferienwohnung in gepflegter Umgebung

Sowohl die Wohnung selbst als auch die gesamte Anlage sind wirklich schön und machen einen gepflegten Eindruck. Die Vermieter sind freundlich und bei Problemen gut erreichbar, wohnen direkt im Nachbarhaus. Bis zum Ort San Donato mit Restaurants und Supermarkt sind es nur 1-2 Kilometer. 2 kleine Abstriche gibt es: die Ausstattung ist relativ spartanisch (keine Mikrowelle, kein Toaster, keine Spülmaschine, keine Wäscheklammern, nur 1 Rolle Toilettenpapier...). Die Betten sind bei Anreise auch selbst zu beziehen, etwas ungewöhnlich - dafür ist der Mietpreis aber vollkommen angemessen. ...die Anfahrt ab der Dorfstraße zum Ferienhaus ist auf steilem, kaum befestigtem Weg doch etwas abenteuerlich. Insgesamt aber ein gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis!
