We had a wonderful holiday. The house, with its private swimming pool, is fantastic, and in Stia you can find all the necessary groceries within a short distance of the property, which we considered a major advantage.Our only comment is that the amount of kitchen equipment is somewhat limited for larger groups. We would recommend checking the kitchen inventory. Given the warm weather, we would also recommend providing a fan in each bedroom to improve comfort during the summer months.

Thank you for your review. Regarding the kitchen equipment, we thought it was adequate for groups of 12—I hope you had a chance to look inside the cabinet under the TV in the basement, where we keep extra plates and trays! Either way, we will double-check everything at the next check-out just to be sure. ​As for the temperature that week was indeed very hot. Where I live in Stia, we've never needed air conditioning, but this year has been exceptionally hot! Usually, it’s much cooler in the evenings and fans have never been necessary, but if summers continue like this, they might be really useful. I’ll definitely keep this in mind for the upcoming guests. Arrivederci!

Spacious house with full Tuscany experience

We had a great time in the house. It was very clean and spacious. We enjoyed the nice pool area, the pizza oven and the amazing views from the different terraces. You will find everything you need in walking distance in Stia and can also enjoy the beautiful nature around. On top of that Lucia was a great host.

Absolutely perfect and authentic Italian

Such a beautiful and authentic villa. A setting no less than perfect for a proper stay in the Italian country side. Just a 10-minute walk from Stia and yet fully private. Lucia was the perfect host - always willing and able to help with any questions we had. We've been spending holidays in Italy for near on 20 years, always agri turismo and this place is up there among the very best. Five-star ratings from me are few and far between, but Lucia and her place definitely earns all five stars.

Tuscany small town charm - Il Cuculo

Our Stia stay was exactly what we were looking for as a family of 2 grandparents, 4 adult children and 2 grandchildren, age 2 and infant, plus 3 other adults at times. We enjoyed a walkable town and excursions throughout Tuscany. Lucia was top notch and made our two weeks extraordinary - she booked a private chef, a pizza night at the home pizza oven, suggested wineries and helped with some transportation needs. She was attentive to all our requests! It's a beautiful property with a lovely pool and home. Florence and Arezzo are an hour away but there are many places to explore. The house accomodated our large group. The beds were hard but we really enjoyed our stay and recommend.

Rustic large house, great pool, close to hikes and village

We were a family group of 7 so had plenty of room. The standout was the lovely well-maintained pool with large surrounds for sun loungers. All in a large private garden. The house is basic but well equipped. The internet was intermittent. An evening breeze keeps the house cool despite the very hot temperatures when we were there. It's a windy scenic drive from Florence but a world away from the crowds with a lovely old square to walk to and enjoy morning coffee and pastry. An authentic experience. We had a great time at "Il Cucolo".

Great Family holiday

My family and I recently had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful villa.The villa provided an ideal setting for our extended family holiday, accommodating all of us with ease. The location of the villa was fantastic, nestled ijust the village of Stia that was just a pleasant walk away. We enjoyed the shops, bars, and restaurants in the area. The surroundings were undeniably beautiful, with picturesque views that made us feel truly immersed in the tranquility of the countryside. One of the standout features of the villa was its spaciousness, making it perfect for a large group. The house itself was well-designed and felt like a family home rather than a ‘beige’ holiday rental. The kitchen was exceptionally well-equipped, providing everything we needed for a large group. We particularly loved the brilliant pizza ovenand spinny outside dining table The kitchen equipment was impressive. We found everything from utensils to appliances, ensuring that cooking and dining at the villa were an absolute pleasure. Whether we were preparing a feast or simply enjoying a morning coffee, the kitchen had us covered. It is worth noting that having a car is essential when staying at this villa, as it served as an excellent base for exploring the surrounding areas. We appreciated the convenience of being able to easily reach nearby attractions and take day trips to nearby towns. Lastly, we cannot speak highly enough of Lucia, the host of the villa. She was incredibly friendly and

The house is great and huge. We were a party of 12 and had plenty space for all. The pool is big and gets cleaned every second day. Lucia was extremely kind and very responsive - and suggested places to visit and for a cook to come and cook a delicious local dinner with 4 dishes and plenty (!) of food. We had such a pleasant stay in Stia. Very recommendable and great price!

Lucia is erg vriendelijk, het contact was goed. Het huis is groot, lekker veel ruimte in en om het huis. 2 keukens waarvan 1 wel wat verouderd. Niet alle bedden sliepen even lekker maar Lucia zei blij te zijn het te weten zodat ze er wat aan kunnen doen. Het zwembad ligt op een hoger deel, wat verder bij het huis vandaan. Bij het huis is een groot terras met uitzicht op Stia. Wat wij als heel leuk hebben ervaren is dat je vanuit het huis naar Stia kunt lopen voor een ijsje, vers brood of cappuccino op n terrasje, Stia is een heel leuk plaatsje.

Det er et super smukt sted huset er meget stort. Man skal dog være opmærksom på at det ene soveværelse med 4 sovepladser har gennemgang i et soveværelse med 2 pladser. Der er alt i køkkenerne og 2 stuer og mange fine terrasser samt rigtig hyggelig by tæt på. Den sidste aften kunne vi høre opera fra udendørskoncert i landsbyen - det var magisk. Vi havde også kok den ene aften og det var utrolig lækkert og billigt . Skønt sted hvor vi gerne kommer igen.

Nur die Größe des Hauses war toll

Das Haus war sehr schön gross aber Zum Haus gelangt man nur mit einem hohen Auto , mit einem normalen PKW setzt man auf und reist sich den Unterboden des Autos kaputt. Die Möbel sind sehr sehr alt , die Betten zusammen gehalten von Panzertape. Von 6 Schlafzimmern ,wie beschrieben, sind nur 5 vollständige Zimmer, 1 Zimmer ist ein Durchgangszimmer mit klappriger Couch zum Bett umgebaut!! Die Kamin Couch überzogen , weil sie darunter komplett kaputt war. Unter der Wohnzimmer Couch 3. Nester mit vollen Spinnen Eiern ( wenn es geht füge ich Bilder hinzu) , haben erstmal das Haus von Spinnen , Ameisen und anderen krabbel Tierchen befreit und das nach 16 Stunden Autofahrt. Im Inserat stand Wäschetrockner und Badewanne, leider waren diese nicht vorhanden!! Weit ab von größeren Städten man braucht 1 Stunde vom Berg runterzufahren!! Leider sehen die Bilder besser ( bearbeit ) aus als in Wahrheit!! Das Grundstück auch sehr ungepflegt, viel Unkraut und der Weg zum Pool ein Abenteuer mit klapprigen Steinen !! Für den Preis für 9 Übernachtungen waren wir enttäuscht 😞

La grande table ronde sous la terrasse nous a permis de partager tous nos repas en famille, à l’ombre. Lucia était très réactive aux messages que je lui ai transmis durant le séjour.

Wunderschönes Haus in Stia

Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt in Stia!! Die Kommunikation mit Lucia verlief immer einwandfrei. Sie war sehr hilfsbereit und zuvorkommend. Das Haus ist sehr viel schöner und größer als im Inserat dargestellt. Außerdem ist man innerhalb von 1 1/2 Stunden in Florenz! Vom Haus überblickt man Stia und ist ganz für sich. Wir können das Haus nur weiterempfehlen!!
