Staying at one of Chicca and Arnaud’s apartments was such a treat! Being situated so close to the Mediterranean Sea and nearby villages makes it a perfect destination! They are wonderful hosts who are happy to share recommendations for restaurants, places nearby to visit, and if you’re able, take advantage of signing up for one of Chicca’s cooking classes! Her love of good food is evident as she leads the class through making pasta, sauce, dessert, or whatever is on the menu. Our days with them went swiftly but gave us wonderful memories!

Thank you so much for the beautiful review! It was such a treat having you stay with us and spending time with you both. We are so lucky to love where we live, and it’s always a joy to share the beauty of the Mediterranean coast and our favorite local spots with our guests. I’m so glad you enjoyed the cooking class, too! Sharing my passion for good food, pasta, and sweet treats is one of my absolute favorite things to do. Time really does fly when you're having fun, but we are so happy we could help create such wonderful memories for you. You are welcome back anytime! Chicca

Beautiful setting, friendly hosts

Highly recommend these apartments! We stayed several weeks and would go back in a heart beat. Well appointed in a beautiful setting, just a small hike up to the tiny hillside village of Castagneto Carducci and easy to walk/bike/drive to olive groves, wineries, and other villages. We enjoyed cooking in the kitchen with all the amazing ingredients from the local Coop, which was a nice bike ride away. Wifi is available, signal was weaker in some areas of the house, but usually fine. The hosts are very friendly and laid back. If you want a true cultural experience, try a private cooking class with Chicca in her home kitchen downstairs - a memorable time with lots of amazing food!

Beautiful tuscan stay among vineyards and olive groves

What an incredible place in lovely setting, close to many places for daytrips but also perfect to just relax and cook at home. I traveled with my spouse and two teenagers. Chicca communicated so well with us in advance and while we were there… offering and making some reservations for us and giving excellent suggestions for daytrips. The place itself feels so authentic, furnished with family heirlooms and interesting art, but also a thouroughly stocked kitchen and modern/thougtfully updated bathrooms. The setting is a small farm surrounded by walkable paths through vineyards and olive groves — just rambling the quiet paths after dinner was a delight. We also loved being taught Petanque and playing on the property at sunset. The home is a short distance down the from the mountaintop town of Castegneto Carducci which we enjoyed exploring. My son, a runner, would run up the paths through the groves to the town most days! We also did trips out to Volterra, Lucca and other hilltop medieval towns. We also spent a day on Elba, swimming in some magical rocky coves tucked in among gorgeous cliffs and also enjoyed some sandy beaches. After hot and busy days, the washing machine and air conditioning were both SO appreciated as well. Our only regret was not having a few more days to stay and just relax! We actually didn’t find out about the amazing Bolgheri wines until we arrived! But no regrets… we know what we’ll be doing when we most certainly come back in the future!

Rather old than vintage

Let's start with the positive. The bedrooms are quiete large, each with its own modern bathroom. If you have some early birds and some owls in your family, it might be a problem.The baths are ok, but not very clean.The blankets were also not very clean. Everything was obviously washed, but there were some dirt stains. The beds are rather new. Other furniture is truely vintage. It looks quite nice, but it also smells a little bit.The worst part of the house was the living room with the kitchen. The couch stands to close to the table, so that the fifth chair was difficult to use.You can't really sit on the couch because there is no foam any more.The kitchen has no tea cups, only four espresso pots and four water glasses. In general, it was quiet difficult to use the kitchen, since e.g. also scissors are missing.The house has a washing machine. It is ok, that it is old. But it is quite strange that it is rosty. Furthermore, it is quiet dirty with rests of old washing powder.The garden and the bedrooms have a very nice view.The living room is rather dark, with a view on the garden itself. It might be a nice house for others. It wasn't for us.

Thank you Richard, We're always grateful when guests take time to share their experience, and we’re pleased that aspects like the spacious bedrooms, the garden, and the unique character of the home were appreciated. For future guests considering a stay: this is a traditional Tuscan country house, furnished with family antiques and full of personality. It is not a modern apartment, and we make this very clear through both our description and photos. Our home is best suited to those who value charm, authenticity, and a personal, cultural touch. Our apartment has consistently received 5-star reviews, particularly for cleanliness and atmosphere. We take great care to maintain both, and your remarks about the condition of the bathrooms and linens are not in line with the positive feedback we've received from dozens of previous guests. Cleanliness has always been one of our highest priorities, and we are meticulous about hygiene. All linens and towels are washed and disinfected to a professional standard. The bathrooms and kitchen were fully renovated just a few years ago and are maintained with great care. The living room is around 25 square meters, and the kitchen is well-equipped for a self-catering stay. We provide coffee for the first day as a welcome gesture, beyond that, guests are expected to shop for their own needs. Moka pots and coffee powder are always available, in keeping with Italian traditions. That said, we also rely on mutual respect to ensure a pleasant experience for everyone in the house. Leaving garbage behind, and allowing young children to create disruptive early-morning noise that impacts others, reflects a mismatch—not only in expectations, but in basic courtesy. We take great pride in hosting and in maintaining a warm, welcoming home. We understand that our space may not be right for everyone—but for those looking for a stay rooted in authenticity and care, it continues to be a well-loved destination. We wish you all the best in your future travels and hope you find places better aligned with your needs and lifestyle.
