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.

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.

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!
