Vackert restaurerad toskansk bondgård med enbart användning av pool i nationalparken

We had a lovely week at the property. The location is absolutely beautiful, nestled in the hills with stunning views - as long as you're aware you can't just pop to a local cafe or bar. We had no problem getting there or away with our little hire car. The house is furnished fine for the 4 of us - plenty of seating & all the kitchen equipment you need to keep a family fed. The outdoor dining furniture could be a little more stable, but is adequate. Really hot weather kept the large pool at a glorious temperature. The infamous dogs were very annoying on the first night, but the rest of the week they seemed to settle down! The only other sleep disturbance was due to the village party which went on till 3am one evening! I had some great morning runs up and down the local hills, and a lovely 5km loop for a family walk. The information and directions Fiona provided were great!

We really enjoyed our stay in Fiona's house. Fantastic surroundings and amazing views. When the weather was nice we made the most of the lovely pool .The place is a bit far from everything but that was just what we needed - a real get away.

Huset havde en dejlig beliggenhed, fredeligt og ugenert.

men, men, men - køreturen dertil var lidt af en prøvelse. Vi havde fået en beskrivelse af ruten fra Fabbriche di Vallico, og ved hjælpe af Google erth havde vi fundet koordinaterne, som vi kunne lægge ind på vores gps - uden det havde vi nok aldrig fundet det.

Da vi kørte der til første gang, blev vi flere gange enige om, at det måtte være forkert. Vejen havde bl.a. en MEGET stejl nedkørsel fra Fabbriche di Vallico, og vejen var værre end den værste markvej her hjemme, og flere steder - blandt andet mellem to bygninger var passagen så smal, at der højst var 10 cm på hver side af bilen.

Vi synes man burde have beskrevet den dårlige adgang til huset. Mange ville nok betænke sig på at køre på sådan en "vej" med en almindelig personbil.

Køkkenet var ikke rent. Der var fedtet og beskidt. Bla. andet på kanten af køkkenbordet ind mod vægen, og kanten rundt om vasken. Kedlen og komfuret var nærmest selvklæbende - det var renere da vi tog fra huset, end da vi ankom! Ud over dette var huset rigtig fint. Dejligt, rent badeværelse og gode soverum. Opholdsstuen brugte vi slet ikke - var på terrassen hele tiden.

Internettet virkede heller ikke optimalt, men det var dog til at leve med.

Alt i alt havde vi en rigtig god ferie, og nød især poolen og den fine terrasse. Dog kunne vi godt have ønsket os et vandtæt tag over terrassen.

Vi vil meget gerne sidde ude (spiste kun inde i huset to gange). Den ene dag regnede og tordnede det hele eftermiddagen/aftenen og da ville vi gerne have kunnet sidde på terrassen og kigge på lynene.

Jeg vil bestemt anbefale denne feriebolig til andre - men vil advare om det uvejsomme terræn.

We have just returned from a wonderful stay.

The property is approached via an unmade single track road, which when driving in the dark for the first time is a little daunting! But it is so peaceful and quiet here it’s worth the bumpy ride.

The accommodation is approached along a stone path with the pool at the bottom of the path behind a locked gate.

The accommodation was lovely and really well thought out. The upper terrace with dining area and sun loungers for the late evening sun along with a BBQ. Inside the bathroom is well equipped and the dining / kitchen / living area is spacious and lovely. The master bedroom was a good size and the bed comfy. The twin room was also a good size although we didn’t use this room. The accommodation stayed cool throughout the day as long as the breeze was allowed to pass through the open windows.

The pool was a very good size and the temperature was perfect for cooling off from the hot sun.

The view was amazing during the day and at night (no light pollution) so we were lucky enough to see the persids when we were there.

We really enjoyed our stay here and look forward to coming back again. Fiona was quick to respond to queries and kindly had some essentials available for us when we arrived late at night.
