What a beautiful property in a stunning setting close by incredible hiking trails with amazing sunsets! Tiziana has thought of everything you need inside the house as well. Very relaxing to come 'home' to after a day of sightseeing. We were even able to enjoy the pool in October!Thank you Tiziana for making our stay wonderful. I will remember you kindness in showing me all of your beautiful plants and flowers as we walked around your gardens.

Great lady owns the place. It is a little hot upstairs and there are mosquitoes, but that is part of being in Italy. I’ll definitely be back.

Lovely house and beautiful gardens in a fabulous part of Tuscany. A very restful property after longs days touring Tuscany, and also fabulous for relaxing days around the house and gardens. The surrounding countryside is also fabulous with plenty of opportunities for good walks and cycling. Tiziana was the perfect host.We would love to stay again if we come back this way.

Lovely stay, loveliest hostess

The cute little cottage is surrounded by a big garden full of flowers and a nice and cool (not too big) swimmingpool which is in the sun most of the day. It has loads of character and is fully equipped. For me the big bed was a little bit sweaty because of the memory foam. By car lots of Tuscan villages and sites are easily reached. Our hostess mme Tiziana was wonderful and very helpful.

Sorry I do not speak French. This was a wonderful place to stay in Tuscany. Excellent communication with the owner, comfortable house, good kitchen facilities, beautiful garden areas all around. Very central location for our day trips throughout Tuscany. Good suggestions for sightseeing and dining in the area. Very warm and friendly reception from Tiziana and Marzia. A perfect experience!

Beautiful villa in a quiet setting

My girlfriend and I had a great time at this house. Conveniently located close to Sienna, so that we could drive to all the Tuscan attractions. The house is beautiful, with all amenities we wanted. The owner is a very sweet, happy lady and she ensured that we had everything we needed. Special thanks to her friend Marzia, who was quick to respond to any queries in English and she gave us a nice tour of the house when we arrived too. We recommend this house. Anil

Charming Farmhouse

This rental oozes charm. The location is ideal for exploring Sienna and the surrounding areas. The road into the property is a bit rough and be careful on the right side of the drive...there is a rock that can cause tire damage. Our host was enthusiastic, friendly and helpful. Her lack of english was not usually a problem with a bit of assistance from google translate. We loved this property and it was more than spacious for our needs.

We unfortunately got held up with our tental car so arrived at the property in the dark.It was a little hard to find and I couldn't get a respnse from owner.Saying that when we did finally find it the beautiful Tiziana had put out a note and left the lights on. When she saw us arrive she came and welcomed us with a big hug.The property is exactly as featured and was perfect for our needs.So happy with everything. It wasnt warm enough to use the pool but it did look nice.Having a drink and cheese platter most evenings on the little patio with its beautiful view was the highlight of our stay. Great location to travel around Tuscany. You definatley need a car.

Lovely rural home.

Pros: Very pretty home, with a beautiful view! Very quiet. Fully equipped kitchen was great. We enjoyed the pool and taking walks along the road. The property manager was communicative and very patient with all our questions and booking changes as we planned our trip. Washing machine, laundry soap, basket, and rack were very much appreciated. Cons: Directions to the property were very difficult to follow. 20 minute drive from Siena (which, to be fair, we knew when we booked it). The beds are not comfortable. Narrow driveway with low wall that is not visible when entering the property and which damaged our rental vehicle. Screens and screen door have gaps which allow mosquitoes inside.

6/10 Okay

An unloved holiday home.

Geographical location is excellent for touring Tuscany, but sadly the facilities are a bit tired. Bathroom is looking rather sad now, with suspect plumbing and taped up shower screen. Not ideal for self catering, just two badly mis-matched mugs and just 3 teaspoons is not a good start and no kettle is provided. The towels provided are very thin and barely do the job they are supposed to. In short more love and care is required which is a shame as Marzia was so helpful when we needed to take our dogs to the local vets. It would not take much time and money to turn this into a little gem as there is an excellent holiday home waiting to be realised.

Ein sehr schönes Ferienhaus auch im Sommer bei Hitze. Fenster und Türen sind alle mit Fliegengaze gesichert, so dass man nachts gut lüften kann. Das Haus ist zweigeschossig und die Betten stehen unten. Dadurh hat man es immer etwas kühl. Der Pool ist sauber und reicht für eine Abkühlung. Hat alles gepasst, gerne wieder.

Wir haben uns zu zweit sehr wohl in dem Ferienhaus und dem wunderschön angelegtem Garten gefühlt. Der Pool ist eine Oase der Erfrischung und die Aussicht von dem überdachten Essplatz ist absolut beeindruckend. Mit dem Auto sind viele bekannte Orte im Chianti Gebiet gut zu erreichen und man ist auch schnell in Siena.

Hier kann man wirklich die Seele baumeln lassen. Tiziana ist eine großartige Gastgeberin. Die Lage ist sehr gut geeignet für Ausflüge nach Siena, Radda und Castellina. Wir kommen gern wieder.

Jardin bien entretenu et piscine très appréciable. A savoir: la dame passe tous les matins et tous les soirs pour la piscine et l'entretien du jardin.

Dieses kleine Haus liegt wunderschön ruhig und die Fotos spiegeln den fantastischen Garten überhaupt nicht wider. Der Garten ist riesig und wird liebvoll von Tiziana gepflegt. Viele wunderschöne Orte ( Siena, Florenz,Volterra, Montepulciano, uvm.) sind nur 1h oder weniger entfernt. Wir hatten einen ganz tollen Aufenthalt und waren traurig nach 10 Tagen wieder fahren zu müssen.
