Charming and Relaxing

With the apartment, it was set up with friends that also had their own Privacy. Remote location but enjoyed in the evening after a busy day. The property is clean and comfortable. Our host was attentive to our needs.

Family Vacation

We enjoyed our stay at the Tuscany Farmhouse. The host Liliana was very helpful with all my questions. The house was perfect for us since it was 4 apartments. The pool is shared, but we were the only ones there for the week so it was all ours. It was perfect for our grandchildren after a day of sightseeing. The only challenge is the driveway and parking. We had a van since there were 7 of us and we ended up with car damage. There is a parking lot directly across from the house that I wish I would have known about before we arrived. I would highly recommend parking there when you arrive and take a look at the driveway. The town is wonderful and we ate at the restaurant 3 times.

Drömställe i Iano😀👍

Ett helt fantastiskt hus att bo i om man som vi skulle fira min mans 75 årsdag! Vi var 11 vuxna o 5 barn så vi hyrde alla 4 lägenheterna o kunde ändå vara tillsammans o äta perfekt! Fantastisk trädgård med stor pool där vi var mycket! Ägarna var hjälpsamma o trevliga tog emot oss när vi kom! Trevlig trädgårdsmästare som kom varje dag! Liten affär tvärs över gatan o restaurang med god mat! Nära till många sevärdheter! Vi var där två fantastiska veckor! Rekommenderar verkligen detta för familjesamvaro!

Beautiful Villa in tiny hamlet of Iano, close to many Tuscany sights

Lovely property with incredible views. Everything you need for a property close to all Tuscany has to offer. Property management very responsive and quick to deal with questions or issues. 2 places to eat and a mini mart out back gate of Villa. Villa offers stocked pantry on property. Also had fresh organic produce available to us during our stay. Massimo, the ground keeper, was there every day and helped with anything we needed. Internet worked great. Apartments clean and comfortable. It was very very hot during our stay. No air conditioning at property at this time but fans provided. Mosquitoes were pesky. Overall wonderful experience for all.

Tuscany villa

The villa was better than we expected and there was plenty of room for all of us. We found the hospitality excellent and all the little extras provided such as the farm produce, the well stocked farm shop and the little things like sparkling and still drinking water on tap just made it all the more enjoyable. Nothing was a problem and our hostess was very helpful with local knowledge when we wanted information regarding getting somewhere. We found the surrounding area very interesting with easy access to some well known tourist destinations. Our best day was probably when we helped with the grape harvest and then were invited to share their post harvest lunch. Being farmers ourselves, we found we had plenty in common. The wonderful old villa was very clean and well cared for with everything we needed for a two week stay. We found the local restaurants quite good. Being a family of 9 we mostly used the well stocked local supermarket in Montaione and cooked for ourselves. I would definitely recommend this villa to anyone wanting to experience life in rural Tuscany.

This I love to share with my guests...
