Casa e padrone di casa meravigliosi

Padroni di casa molto cordiali, molto accomodanti e accoglienti. La casa è dotata di tutto il necessario per una vacanza all'insegna del barbecue e della cucina. La casa è situata in una splendida posizione e dispone di un'area esterna molto curata con una bella piscina pulita. I padroni di casa hanno progettato il giardino in modo molto bello e amorevole. Ci è piaciuto molto.

Un séjour idyllique en Toscane !

Nous venons de passer des vacances inoubliables en Toscane dans un cadre absolument magnifique ! Ce lieu est un véritable havre de paix, entouré par une très belle nature qui invite à la détente. Le logement était tout simplement parfait : propre, bien agencé, et offrant tout le confort nécessaire pour un séjour agréable. La petite piscine a été un vrai plus, très agréable pour se rafraîchir après une journée de découverte dans les environs. Mais ce qui a vraiment fait la différence, ce sont nos hôtes, Gianna et Mauro. D'une gentillesse et d'une attention rares, ils ont su nous accueillir chaleureusement et veiller à ce que notre séjour soit le plus agréable possible. Leur bienveillance et leur disponibilité ont largement contribué à rendre notre séjour encore plus mémorable. Nous recommandons ce lieu sans hésitation pour quiconque cherche à se ressourcer dans un cadre enchanteur en Toscane. Merci à Gianna et Mauro ainsi qu’à Mirko ami de Gianna et Mauro !

Peaceful and relaxing

We had an amazing relaxing time. The hosts were excellent and friendly and also respected our privacy. The view from the house and pool was beautiful. The pool area is secluded and clean. The house was well equipped and the beds were very comfortable. The spare bedroom acted as a living room with big TV. The little village had a very good well stocked co-op and lovely resturants. We will be returning!

A lovely little house in a beautiful area

Beautifully situated in a wooded hillside with nice views. The owners are very nice but do not speak English as the website suggested. Communication was sketchy but we got by. The pool area and garden is immaculately maintained and so peaceful. The dining area is equally nice. Only negative comment is that there are no cushions for any outside furniture. The second bedroom doubles up as a living room for when the weather changes! Cavriglia is a short walk away for shops and restaurants with plenty of parking too. Not too far to Siena, Arezzo, Florence (we went by train), Volterra, San Gimignano and Pisa. Le Balze is well worth a visit for a relatively easy walk with stunning and unusual scenery.

Casina delle Fate

J'ai passé une semaine seule dans cette petite maison en mai 2024. J'ai pu profiter de la piscine, du chant des oiseaux et du calme de ce site. Les propriétaires se sont montrés discrets et la maison est pleine de petites attentions du quotidien que nous ne prenons pas forcément dans nos bagages. J'ai découvert la Toscane et c'est magnifique. Merci pour ce séjour !

Perfect and quiet during Eroica 2023

We came for Eroica 2023 and had a wonderful stay at Gianna and Mauros house. The house is small but is really well-equipped, there is literally everything you could need. And if something is missing Gianna will gladly help you out. It's situated above the little village Cavriglia, nicely tucked on a mountain-side. The pool, although fairly cold in October, was excellent to cool off after our bike rides. Gianna and Mauro are really the best hosts and and we can highly recommend staying with them. And since it has been mentioned before. Yes, the bathroom is small, but how much time do you spend in a bathroom? It's absolutely fine and very functional. I felt a bit bad that Gianna had to somewhat justify why it's so small. There's a toilet, a sink and a hot shower, what else do you need?! :) ---- Grazie ancora, abbiamo passato un tempo bellissimo da voi e speriamo di tornare negli anni prossimi :). --- PS: Whoever wants to stay here for Eroica, it's about 11km from Gaiole (about 400m of altitude) and will roughly take you about 45 minutes. It is absolutely possible to ride there by bike and not worry about parking in Gaiole :)

Super accommodation!

Had a wonderful stay at La Casina Delle Fate! The place was in a beautiful location, peaceful and idyllic. The home was extremely well equipped, comfortable and private. The hosts went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. The location is perfect for day trips to local cities and the small towns are also a pleasure to visit. The pool is kept spotlessly clean and we enjoyed lazing here in the day and the evenings on the terrace. Highly recommend!

Peace and quiet in the Tuscan countryside

Gianna and Mauro were excellent hosts, they treated us like one of the family. The house is ideally situated overlooking a peaceful valley above Cavriglia with stunning views and, more importantly, peace and quiet. The house was perfect for our requirements and the pool, in beautiful gardens, was also great. The location allows for visiting the busier Tuscan areas, Arezzo and Florence are not too far away, Chianti is next door and there are lots of amazing castles, vineyards and olive groves to visit. We hired a car from Pisa airport and toured the area. As early as our second day of our stay we commented how much we'd love to revisit and just chill in the great surroundings. We will certainly be recommending La Casina Delle Fate to family and friends.

Wundervolle Tage in einer traumhaften Umgebung

Wir wurden sehr herzlich von der Ehefrau in Empfang genommen. Sie hat uns alles im Haus erklärt. Im Haus selbst ist alles Notwendige vorhanden. Dann haben wir erst einmal eine Abkühlung in dem wundervollen Pool genommen. Das Landhaus liegt am Ende einer kleinen, von der Anfahrt her etwas abenteuerlichen Straße. Es braucht ein wenig Mut, mir dem Auto den Berg runter zu fahren, ist langsam aber problemlos möglich. Dafür wird man mit einer tollen Aussicht belohnt. Unseren Wagen konnten wir überdacht unterstellen, so dass er vor der prallen Sonne geschützt war. Alle Fenster sind mit feinmaschigem Insektenschutz ausgestattet, dennoch empfiehlt es sich für draussen Mückenschutz mitzunehmen. In ca. 2,5 km ist ein kleiner Ort, in dem man Essen gehen kann und indem man seine notwendigen Einkäufe gut erledigen kann. Wir haben uns hier sehr wohl gefühlt und würden jederzeit wieder buchen.

Fantastisch

Het huisje is klein maar perfect voor 2 a 3 personen. Huisje is gezellig, superschoon, goed voorzien van spullen. Geen airco maar wel horren voor alle ramen waardoor het 's nachts prima was. Het zwembad en het uitzicht is werkelijk fantastisch. Prima locatie om naar Florence en Siena te gaan. Gastvrouw is heel vriendelijk maar spreekt echt geen enkel woord Engels. Maar met Google translate prima te doen. Badkamer is erg klein maar dat mocht de pret niet drukken. Echt een dikke aanrader!

Kleines Paradies in schönster Umgebung

Wunderbare Ferienwohnung und ein sehr schöner Garten inklusive privatem Pool. Sehr freundliche Gastgeber, die Sprachbarriere war kein Problem. Es stand alles zur Verfügung, was man brauchte, man erreicht alle bekannten toskanischen Sehenswürdigkeiten in relativ kurzer Zeit mit dem Auto (1 Stunde Siena/Orcia-Tal; 1 Stunde Florenz). Auch in unmittelbarer Nähe gibt es Weingüter, Restaurants etc. Ideal für Paare, aber auch mit Kindern wahrscheinlich eine tolle Location. Wir kommen gerne wieder. Gianna und Mauro waren sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend, mille grazie!

Ein wunderschönes Stück Erde

Mit Gianna und Mauro hatten wir freundliche und hilfsbereite Gastgeber, auch wenn die Kommunikation etwas schwierig war (kein Englisch, Grundkenntnisse in Italienisch oder ein gutes Übersetzungsprogramm können helfen). Die Lage des Objekts ist geradezu fantastisch, zumindest wenn man es gerne ruhig mag. In der Umgebung gibt es jede Menge Weingüter, die auch gutes Olivenöl verkaufen. Die Wohnung ist zweckmässig eingerichtet, der Privatpool sauber und erfrischend. Die Gartendusche ist hilfreich bei dem kleinen Bad. Man hat eine Aussicht bis in das Tal. Die Zufahrten sind steil, aber gut befestigt und die Garage geräumig. Alles in allem ein wunderschönes Stück Erde und absolut empfehlenswert!

A special place with a beautiful view and lovely swimmingpool

We had a great time! The terraces, view and swimmingpool were adorable. The beds very comfortable. The kitchen and seating area maybe a little bit smaller but fully equipped and the outdoor living space was huge and the environment breathtaking. The bathroom could have been a bit bigger but all worked perfect. Overall it was a great experience and we would highly recommend it, also to a family with kids.
