Had a fantastic stay! As the host mentions, you should definitely stop by the grocery store in Volterra (or elsewhere) on your way. Very clean and the host was extremely responsive (including check in and check out times).

Beautiful location, short drive to Volterra and surrounding villages. Appreciated the cleanliness and use of iron and ironing board. It was nice to do a load of wash and host had drying rack. We didn’t use the kitchen except for refrigerator. The view from the front room was gorgeous. Enjoyed the quiet ambiance. The host was great at communicating with us.

Wanted to visit for a long time and we were not disappointed. The area is lovely. The house was lovely too and in a superb central location. Very quiet and relaxing. Thanks very much to the owner for her attentive support.

Great location, cosy cottage

At the end of a typically long gravel Tuscany road (this one is in good condition, btw) you will find a quiet, snug cottage in a great location for touring around Tuscany. Laundry availability was much appreciated on our multi-stop trip, they even had an iron for air dried or suitcase wrinkled items. The views… like a postcard!

Gorgeous property.

We loved our stay. The property is gorgeous, tucked away in the beautiful hills of Tuscany. The view in the morning with the sun coming up was incredibly picturesque. Worth noting that the property is located in the hills and out of the way of any amenities but it does have a Conad (supermarket) about 25-30 mins away. Place is clean and well organised, plenty of towels etc.

Beautiful home and scenery

Very tastefully done home in Tuscany near Volterra. Every morning the views are like you would see in a magazine. Close enough to many of the must see cities in Tuscany, Volterra, San Gimignano, Sienna & Pisa among others. Only downside is that it is 20-30 minutes away from restaurants (that were open during our stay). Kitchen is minimal. (could use a microwave so quick meals could be prepared). Communication was good.

Great stay in Tuscany

We are a couple without pet. To summarize, we enjoyed the stay from the first minute to the last. The house is equipped with all the things you need to feel comfortable and to have a great time. The response for any questions came immediately and on-site support was very fast and super friendly. It has been very quiet and relaxing for us. Just like you wish for your vacation. We would come back whenever we are in the area. We had a great and relaxing time.

Good for the price

The house is located in a small spot with 3 other houses and 2 being built. Some have mentioned the road in, but if you’ve been to Italy it’s not a big deal, typical gravel road, easy to navigate. The property has great views and is in a good place to explore northern Tuscany. It is a small house, perfect for 2 ppl. But I wouldn’t recommend for a family (there’s only one bedroom). The kitchen is small but usable, the host was very responsive and replied quickly to texts. For the price it’s a great stay.

Unstable Internet Connection

The advertising on stable internet connection is inaccurate. This left my partner and I in a pretty terrible situation because we both work remotely and had to find a last minute accommodation elsewhere. We left after only 2 nights of our 7 night reservation was completed, and unfortunately never received an apology for the inaccuracies in the advertisement, or any sort of reimbursement for the nights we did not stay. I was disappointed with the lack of accountability and would not recommend this accommodation.

Dear Ally, as you know after your complain we immediately contacted the provider. They checked and told us that the connection was working properly. We didnt check once but many times during your stay. The provider kept saying the same thing over and over. Nobody has ever complained about our connection and what we advertise is what we offer and it is not inaccurate. We also sent you several times the screen of the remote speed test and remote check of the connection. We did whatever was in our power.

Wir waren 17 Tage bei Alessandra in ihrer sehr schönen Ferienwohnung. Wir hatten unsere zwei Hunde dabei ,die sich sehr wohl in dem Garten gefühlt haben. Man hat da wirklich seine Ruhe und kann super gut entspannen. Volterra erreicht man in ca 25 min was wirklich eine schöne Altstadt ist. Super gutes Essen und viele kleine Läden wo man super gut shoppen kann und Souvenirs kaufen kann. Florenz Siena und weitere Städte erreicht man auch relativ schnell mit dem Auto. Das einzige was nicht so toll ist, sind die 3 km Schotterweg zur Unterkunft. Den kann man nur mit Schrittgeschwindigkeit fahren da schwere Kettenfahrzeuge fahren und dementsprechend der Weg beschädigt wurde und teilweise große Steine liegen. Mit einem Jeeb oder Geländefahrzeug ist es aber kein Problem. Die Kommunikation mit Alessandra war hervorragend.

Die Fotos zur Unterkunft sind sehr realistisch. Es ist sauber. Super Kommunikation mit der Gastgeberin. Anfahrt sehr abenteuerlich über unbefestigte Straßen und Lage sehr weit weg von den nächsten belebten Orten. Durch die benachbarten Häuser aber sehr angenehm. Tipp: Anfahrt über Prato d‘Era.

Wunderschöne Unterkunft, tolle, zentrale Lage

Die Unterkunft war sehr schön. Die Ausstattung der Küche war hervorragend, alles sehr sauber und gepflegt. Selbst Handtücher und Bettwäsche waren ausreichend vorgehalten. Die Lage war sehr zentral und die Aussicht und Umgebung wunderbar. Der Garten gepflegt und für unseren Hund ideal. Alles in allem war es für uns ein perfekter Urlaub.Alessandra war als Ansprechpartner für uns jederzeit erreichbar. Sehr symapathisch.

perfekter Relaxurlaub in wunderschöner Umgebung

Wir haben ein ruhiges,sehr ordentliches Haus mit Garten vorgefunden rund 20min. von unserer toskanischen Lieblingsstadt Volterra entfernt. Wir haben 12 Tage verbracht und haben exakt das vorgefunden, was auch in der Objektbeschreibung zu lesen war. Die Gastgeberin ist jederzeit erreichbar und der Kontakt war sehr freundlich, unkompliziert und schnell. Die Lage war genau unsere Wahl,da man von Volterra aus alle von uns bevorzugten Städte in sehr überschaubarer Zeit erreichen kann.

Ruhige Lage abseits im Hinterland von Volterra

Achtung: Die Wohnung liegt im Hinterland ca. 8 km Luftlinie entfernt von Volterra, davon ca. 3 km auf staubiger Schotterpiste, der Hinweis zur "ausgezeichneten Lage ... ist dieses Ferienhaus zu Fuß gerade mal 5 Minuten entfernt von: Medici-Festung, ..." ist also falsch. Wer Ruhe und ländliche Idylle sucht, wird sich wohlfühlen. Die Wohnung ist für 2 Leute gut geeignet und gut ausgestattet. Etwas wenig Abstell-/Aufbewahrungsraum, da der Kleiderschrank im Schlafzimmer und die Küchenschränke zum größeren Teil bereits vollgestellt/belegt sind. Manko: kein einziger Müllbehälter in der gesamten Wohnung! Auf Nachfrage hat die Vermieterin mitgeteilt, man solle allen Müll direkt zu den Tonnen vorm Haus bringen. Dazu müsste man aber jedes Mal durch den gesamten Garten bis vor zum Schotterweg laufen - wir haben uns mit einem Putzeimer in der Küche provisorisch beholfen.

Tip top in orde

Het efficient ingerichte huis is in prima staat en beschikt over alle voorzieningen die wij nodig hadden. De pizza oven en mooi omheinde tuin zijn een pluspunt. De andere huizen rondom het pand creëren een buurtgevoel, waardoor je niet volledig afgezonderd bent van de bewoonde wereld. Het is echter wel een eindje rijden tot bij een dorp of stadje (ongeveer een half uur) en dat voor 3 kilometer via een niet aangelegde weg. De ondersteuning en informatie bij het inchecken en doorheen het verblijf waren uitstekend.

Erholung inmitten toskanischer Felder

Die schöne Doppelhaushälfte liegt mit 4-5 anderen Häusern auf einem Hügel, umgeben von Feldern. Der Garten und der Ausblick sind wunderschön. Im Haus ist alles vorhanden, was man für einen entspannten Urlaub benötigt. Der Kontakt mit Alessandra ist sehr nett, sie antwortet umgehend auf Fragen und steht mit Ausflugs-Tipps und Hilfe zur Seite. Wir hatten eine tolle Woche in der Toskana, vielen Dank!
