We spent a week staying in this beautiful villa. Myself and my three daughters. I don't really know where to start with a review of such a fabulous property. I would definitely recommend you have a car if you want to stay here, but that is part of the attraction. Cristiana and Claude are the perfect hosts. Always available, should you need them, but so so discreet. The house is incredible. Walking around the many rooms you actually feel a part of history. Nothing contrived or bland about this villa! I would have been quite happy to have spent the whole week at the villa. Relaxing by the pool, sitting outside on the elegant garden furniture, marvelling at the astounding view. Or just trying to work my way through the varied and extensive CD collection. However, we had many days out....... Florence, Pisa, Livorno, Volterra. I was nervous about driving in the bigger cities, so we drove to nearby train stations and then took the train into the city centre. Towards the end of our stay we experienced some dramatic thunder storms and Claude & Cristiana provided us with umbrellas, and Cristiana even baked us the most beautiful cake. I cannot recommend this villa highly enough. A huge thank you to Claude & Cristiana and already looking forward to coming back.
