Lovelly place Ideally localised to visite Toscana.Loretta is very kind and helpfull, she provided good advises about the area.The place is very nice and quiet.
We had the most wonderful week at this beautiful holiday home in the heart of Tuscany! The location is absolutely stunning – peaceful, surrounded by rolling hills, olive groves, and vineyards. It truly feels like a little slice of paradise.The house itself was cozy, clean, and very well-equipped with everything we needed. It had a lovely rustic charm while still offering all the modern comforts. We especially loved sitting outside in the evenings, enjoying the breathtaking views and the sound of nature.This place is fantastic for children! Our kids had so much space to play and explore safely. Loretta is a perfect host, we hope to come back soon!
Thank you so much. It was a lovely meeting you and your family. You are so kind and have a wonderful family. I hope to see you again soon. Kisses to the girls and my best wishes a te e Lina .Bye Bye Loretta
We had a lovely holiday in Tuscany. The landscape is stunning — full of vineyards, rolling hills, and natural beauty. The outdoor area of the property, especially the clean and well-maintained pool, was absolutely beautiful and where we spent most of our time. Every other evening, we tried a different local restaurant or pizzeria and were never disappointed. The walking trails around the house were peaceful and relaxing.The house itself, however, was a bit of a contrast. Being an old stone building, it heated up significantly during the day. There was only one fan, which helped a little, but a proper air conditioning system — or at least mosquito screens — would have made a big difference, especially at night when ventilation wasn’t possible without letting insects in.On arrival, the kitchen wasn’t as clean as expected, so we washed all the dishes and cutlery before using them. Despite keeping the house tidy, we regularly noticed ant trails in the kitchen and bathroom.We chose this place because of the outstanding reviews, so we wanted to share a few details future guests might find helpful: the owners live just a few meters away on the same property and walked past the house several times a day. While this didn’t bother us, there was little interaction, no local tips, and the language barrier made communication a bit limited.Overall, we had a wonderful stay — just a few things to be aware of that may help future guests manage expectations.
Hi Lea. Thank you for your visit. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we will definitely keep your review in mind to improve. Our amenities are listed in the ad, along with a description of the shared garden. I'm sorry I couldn't advise you on your vacation; we want to respect your privacy. Thank you so much. Bye Loretta
Unusually hot week in Barberino Val De Elsa for everyone. We how ever had no air conditioning. One fan was provided. The sleeping loft was upstairs so it was warm. We managed, then we bought two other fans for the remainder of our stay. This helped . We also bought at the local appliance store an American coffee maker. This really helped our mornings. The bed was comfortable, bathroom clean, towels and linens nice. We brought all our cooking spices and purchased olive oil locally. There needs to be a grill, especially in the summer months to enhance the stay and allow for some dining at home. The pool was the best part of the cottage stay. We swam 2 times per day just to get out of the 90degree living space . The grounds are stunning and well maintained. It’s a beautiful property! Loved the olive trees, flowering plants and lavender! The surrounding area is amazing. We are agritourism folk and we be returning next 10/2026. Lord willing… The cottage could benefit from 2 ceiling fans. Just to move the air around in the lounge space and sleeping loft . We appreciated our experience and will not book in the summer likely again , without air conditioning. Some wire screens on the windows upstairs would help with the insects from entering the space. The heat was humbling .. the pool was the gem . Thank you Ms Loretta and family. We appreciate you all. Thank you for your kindness to us .
Thank you very much for your visit and your review. The services provided by the house are highlighted in the announcement itself, but we will take note of your feedback.It's been nice know you and your Michael.Bye Bye Loretta
In linea con le nostre aspettative di vacanza estiva. Giunti per un soggiorno breve a fine agosto abbiamo trascorso e apprezzato momenti davvero piacevoli; la struttura è accogliente, riservata, rustica e confortevole incastonata con armonia tra le tante bellezze naturali del Chianti, offrendo la migliroe tranquillità e il giusto relax circondati dalle colline e i vigneti di questa parte di Toscana. Oltremodo è un posto strategico e ben collegato anche per raggiugere in auto altre località e borghi limitrofi che raccontano tanta storicità locale, soprattutto per chi, come noi, ha voluto dedicare tempo alle bellezze di questi luoghi del Chianti, come San Gimignano, Radda, Volpaia, Castellina, Panzano ed altri ancora. Tutti perfetti per godersi suggestivi panorami, uniti a tante esclusive cantine da visitare per apprezzare dell'ottimo vino e altre tipicità culinarie e gastronomiche locali. Si suggerisce la prenotazione anticipata per eventuali visite guidate in cantina con possibilità di percorsi di degustazione. Consigliata la visita al Castello di Brolio.Punti da migliorare: la percorribilità dell'ultimo km, per raggiungere la struttura, in quanto strada boschiva non asfaltata e parecchio dissestata. Loretta e Roberto hanno rappresentato la cornice affascinanante e garbata del tutto, sempre disponibili. Bravi!Da ritornarci quanto prima.
Grazie infinite Salvatore e Olga . E’stato un piacere ospitarvi .Siete veramente una bella coppia e siamo felici di aver contribuito alla riuscita della vostra vacanza. A presto Loretta e Roberto
Thank you so much Katia it was a pleasure to host you and your family you were really nice. I will keep a warm memory of your visit as I hope you will take good memories of this holiday. A warm greeting to all of you Loretta
Grandioser Aufenthalt bei der supernetten Gastgeberin Loretta. Wunderschönes Häuschen mit schönem Pool auf einem großen, schönen, gepflegten Grundstück.Ca. 40 min nach Siena, Volterra oder Florenz, wenn die Toskana ein Herz hat, ist es genau hier..Man merkt kaum, dass die Gastgeber auch auf dem Grundstück leben.Absolute Empfehlung.Der letzte Kilometer zum Haus verläuft auf unbefestigter Straße.
Hi Gerald and Caroline, thank you so much for your wonderful review and for choosing to stay with us.
We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your time at our guest house and that your experience met your expectations. Your kind words mean a lot to us and are a great source of motivation. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we would be thrilled to welcome you back to Tuscany whenever your travels bring you this way again.
Thank you once again for sharing your experience.
Loretta & family
Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt in der Toskana! Die Unterkunft war super gemütlich und hatte alles, was man braucht. Loretta war eine tolle Gastgeberin, sehr hilfsbereit und stand uns immer zur Verfügung, wenn wir Fragen hatten. Obwohl Loretta und ihre Familie auf dem selben Grundstück wohnen, hatten wir das Gefühl, alleine dort zu sein, was wir sehr genossen haben. Vom Pool aus hat man einen schönen Blick und der Garten lädt zum entspannen ein. Das Ferienhaus ist gut gelegen, sodass man viele Ausflüge machen kann.
