Quiet, relaxing, great location

Situated in the midst of beautiful Tuscan countryside it offered the best of both worlds – peace and quiet for lazy days by the pool but easy access to all the major sights – Pisa, Florence, San Gimignano and Volterra.

Wonderful!

Frank and Mara were wonderful hosts! We can't say enough about how welcoming and friendly they were. The property was spotless and very spacious! If you want a wonderful place that is rural, but close enough to go and take day trips to places like Florence, Pisa, Siena, or the coast, this is it!

Perfect get away. Awesome views and hosts

Just what we needed. Great welcome and first evening meal was not expected, Chilled around the pool or on the balcony of and evening (Remember bug spray) swam every morning before a brisk walk up the hill to buy fresh bread. Bar in the village is small but cheap and does fantastic ice cream. Great location for city visits Pisa Siena and Florence May be back one day

Marrona 2023 May

Excellent pre visit communication, lots of useful information provided by the hosts about the area and Tuscany in general. Hosts Marra and Franco were very welcoming, providing a delicious meal on our first night, fried artichokes, salumi and pasta alla norma(best we've had outside of Sicilia. We would highly recommend staying with Marra and Franco.

A wonderful week with Franco and Mara

We arrived early and Franco and Mara immediately made us feel very welcome while they worked hard to get our apartment ready early for us. Within the first day we felt like part of the family. The apartment was well equipped, clean and spacious with comfortable beds and very pleasant views. We spent a lot of time relaxing by the pool. A peaceful and relaxing location with great restaurants within close driving distance. An excellent stay and we want to return one day. Thank you Franco and Mara xx

Holiday in Toscana

We had a very nice holiday in Toscana. The proprietors Mara and Franco are very, very friendly and extremely helpful. The apartment was clean and spacious enough for two people. There were enough sunbeds by the pool for all guests. One evening, the proprietors invited all the guests for a meal, which they prepared themselves. It was a very lovely evening. Definitely recommendable. Thank you, Mara and Franco. Greetings from Germany.

Fantastic, relaxing rental

This property was wonderful. The description was accurate and the facilities were good. The pool was great and there was plenty of space to lounge around the pool. The property was clean and well maintained. The balcony/terrace was shaded (much needed in August) and the bedroom was spacious. I would thoroughly recommend this rental. One of the reasons for liking this rental was the friendliness and welcome of the owners; fresh pears and tomatoes were delivered to our apartment; the owner's wife prepared typical Tuscan dishes for our first night at the rental and on the last night, all the renters from the 4 apartments were invited to share a wonderful, home-cooked Tuscan meal in the garden!! Fantastic!!

Lovely Italian getaway in glorious countryside

Apartment Aurora had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. The owners were the perfect mix of friendly and helpful whilst respecting the privacy of guests. They supplied us with a number of home cooked treats which we really enjoyed and there was an air of simple homely relaxation. The apartment was spacious and clean and was well located for touring many well known Tuscan towns and also for exploring the tiny hilltop villages and even the coast. Despite this we found it hard to tear ourselves away from the lovely pool which was a godsend in the hot afternoon sun. Franco gave us a lot of useful information about the surrounding area including supermarkets, restaurants, markets and places of interest. He also gave us a map and an idea of driving time and the best time of day to visit.

De kamer is authentiek ingericht en schoon. De eigenaren zijn zeer vriendelijk en bij aankomt kregen wij een heerlijke Italiaanse maaltijd aangeboden. Er is een redelijk groot zwembad waar je in alle rust kunt zwemmen en relaxen. Het enige nadeel is dat er heel veel muggen zijn ( wij waren er in september )waardoor je zowel overdags als in de nacht veelvuldig gestoken wordt. Verder is het er prima vertoeven.

Soggiorno fantastico

Mara e Franco sono stati dei padroni di casa incredibilmente fantastici. Franco ha dedicato molto tempo al check-in e ci ha raccontato molte cose sulla zona e ci ha dato consigli. Mara ha cucinato per tutti gli ospiti una sera e il cibo era fantastico. L'appartamento aveva tutto ciò di cui avevamo bisogno e il cortile con la piscina era semplicemente fantastico. Ci piacerebbe tornare di nuovo. Grazie mille per tutto!

Sehr nette Vermieter

Die FeWo war okay, aber renovierungsbedürftig. Die Vermieter begrüßten uns mit einem leckeren, typisch italienischen Essen. Das erlebt man selten. Leider machten uns die Stechmücken einen Strich durch die Rechnung und wir konnten den Pool und den Balkon nicht nutzen, da wir fast gefressen wurden.Das hat den Aufenthalt getrübt.

Lovely Place!

Wir hatten einen wunderbaren (2-wöchigen) Urlaub im Podere Costantino. Die Wohnung ist sehr liebevoll möbliert und mit guten Fliegengittern an allen Fenstern ausgestattet. Lediglich ein bequemeres Sofa hat ein wenig gefehlt, so dass wir beide gemütlich hätten sitzen können. Der Pool ist wundervoll und Mara und Franco sind sehr herzliche Gastgeber, die jederzeit ansprechbar waren. Wir haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt. Vielen lieben Dank für die tolle Zeit, Mara und Franco!

Relaxing In The Tuscany

Nice, spacious, rustic apartment. We were met by the owner who was very gracious and made us a meal on the first evening which was really appreciated. You do need a car to stay here as most major attractions are at least 40 mins drive. You cannot really walk anywhere as the farmhouse is quite isolated which was the only down side. However, this does make for a relaxing break after Rome. The pool was lovely after a day out exploring. There isn’t any AC which at times made for an uncomfortable night in the summer heat. Thank you for a pleasant stay.

Stunning location

Best holiday ever. Mara and Franco brought fruit from the vineyard which was delicious. When we arrived they had bruschetta waiting for us which was beautiful. We had brought the wrong adaptor and Franco was so helpful and found one for us to borrow. My partner proposed to me on route to San Gimignano so this will be an unforgettable holiday. The only thing we wished was there was air con as the heat was 37 degrees. But apart from that this holiday was dreamy. Thank you Mara and Franco!
