Fantastic Vrbo stay
Posted Aug. 17, 2024 on HomeAwaySanta & Giovanni were wonderful! Anything we needed help with they were always available. Even gave us a ride to the train station! Fresh fruit & vegetables were plentiful! The air conditioners worked very well. It was very hot while we were there for 5 1/2 weeks. The pool was very refreshing. They even cooked for us along with their son & daughters help. We would definitely recommend you staying at this lovely home. It was very private, but the town was only 5 minutes away.

Ciao Chris, ti ringrazio molto per la bella recensione che hai fatto sulla casa e su di noi.
Per quello che possiamo naturalmente, noi cerchiamo sempre di poter soddisfare il tempo di vacanza dei nostri ospiti.
Ma questa vacanza con te e Mike è stata un pò diversa dalle altre, dato che un pò mi mancheranno le nostre piccole e piacevoli chiacchierate che facevamo spesso.
Perchè tu e tuo marito siete delle persone molto sociali e gentili.
Un grande saluto a te e a Mike.

A fantastic Villa in Tuscany
Posted May 14, 2024 on HomeAwayThis is a well contained villa with a beautiful garden surrounding the property. As a group of friends we enjoyed all the comforts of the property including the swimming pool. Spent relaxing times in the porch beside the kitchen. The bedrooms are well furnished and clean. The kitchen is well equipped. The hosts Santa and Giovanni are lovely and stocked the kitchen with complimentary essentials and drinks. They also provided some vegetables from their allotment which was very kind of them. We spent a comfortable long weekend in the villa and highly recommend for rental.

Un altro capodanno da ricordare
Posted Jan. 8, 2024 on HomeAwaySiamo voluti tornare nuovamente per un altro capodanno, soprattutto grazie all'esperienza fantastica che abbiamo vissuto l'anno scorso. La casa è impeccabile come sempre, fornita di qualsiasi cosa e soprattutto pulita. Ci teniamo ancora una volta a ringraziare i proprietari, che hanno soddisfatto le nostre richieste e che hanno saputo aiutarci nel momento del bisogno.
Io e i miei amici siamo ancora più soddisfatti dello scorso anno!

Quiet place for time with family
Posted Sep. 2, 2023 on HomeAwayBeautiful grounds. We were blown away by the outdoor space. Very nice hosts too. We were gifted a box of home grown vegetables and some basic items when we arrived. A great place to spend time with family.
The only negatives are that the photos of the property makes it look like 2 separate buildings. It is actually 1 big house with 3 bathrooms and 4 bedrooms. The master bedroom doubles as a hallway from the main build, through to the 2nd kitchen and bed/bathroom, so it’s a little awkward. None of the bedrooms are fully enclosed. The master bedroom is overlooked from a balcony by one of the double bedrooms, which also looks over the single bedroom. It would be great if each bedroom were private.
The only air con units are in the 2nd kitchen and the master bedroom, so the other bedrooms do get hot.
Still a beautiful place and we enjoyed our stay.

Ciao Heather, ti ringrazio tanto per la valutazione che hai inviato.
Ti informo che le foto delle camere e di tutta la proprietà, sono veritiere.
I due appartamenti sono dotati di tre bagni, di due cucine e di due ingressi, per accedere internamente ed esternamente alla piscina, al patio ed a tutto il resto della proprietà.
I due appartamenti sono stati resi comunicanti in un secondo tempo, tramite una porta insonorizzata, per facilitare gli spostamenti interni per gli ospiti (quando sono una sola famiglia), ma quando queste sono due, questa porta si può tenere chiusa, (anche a chiave) quindi non fungerà più da passaggio.
In seguito verrà aggiunto anche un video per vedere meglio la casa.
L'aria condizionata è stata posizionata in modo da arrivare sui soppalchi.
(tutto questo è descritto anche sul sito).
Per il prossimo anno, abbiamo previsto di fare nuove modifiche, le quali poi verranno rese note.
Cordiali saluti.

Amazing house and great host
Posted Jul. 10, 2023 on HomeAwayMe and my family 4 adults and 3 young child stayed at this amazing house. The pool and garden are great perfect for a family.
Santa and her husband really are great hosts they're very welcoming. They delivered us amazing vegetables for there garden. Santa was always available if we need any help with anything.
They both and the house really where amazing and i would highly recommended staying. I recommend learning some Italian even a like will go along way.
For other guest something that might be useful when stating in the area.
Best option when traveling to Florence is the train from San Giovanni 10mins drive away. Its very cheap and there is a free car park at the train station. if you can, get the 30min train as it only stops a 2 stops before Florence the other train takes 1hr and stops at all the stations.
Food shop the Co-op has a great selection and there are a few other options in like Lidl lots of options.
As most guest will have a car, Siena is a must visit is only 1hr drive (make sure to take motorway route).
This was a great holiday and I can wait to visit again in the future.
Grazie Santa per un fantastico soggiorno, ciao

Great property to experience and explore Tuscany. Beautiful property that easily accommodated our family of five. Quite, secluded property but only minutes from restaurants, shopping, and the train station. Centrally located for easy driving day trips to Florence, Pisa and other Tuscan cities or a train ride to Venice. The real jewels of the property are the gracious hosts, their beautiful garden and the artwork thoughout the house painted by the hostess.

Just amazing!
Posted Jun. 7, 2023 on HomeAwayWe stayed 5 nights, 2 families (4 adults and 2 kids). Love the house! Nice outdoor, BBQ grill, swimming pool, ping-pong table, and swing. We've had meals and drinks under the covered patio everyday. Hosts (older couple) were great, always available and took care anything you asked for. Due to the language barrier we had to use google translate, and they has a translator for check-in and check-out. Kids did not want to leave the house and
we had to threatened them to go sightseeing during the day, LOL!

Amazing, perfect stay
Posted Jul. 17, 2021 on HomeAwayWe are so so SO happy that we booked this house. The house itself was clean, spacious, and had every amenity you would need for a relaxing, carefree vacation. The pool, cabana, outdoor activities and entire garden area are so spacious and the definition of 5-Star comfort and relaxation. You will have amazing sunsets while you enjoy a meal under the covered terrace. The property itself is set in an ideal location. You are in the center of all major Tuscan towns to visit. You have complete privacy as the rental house is set further back from the main road. Finally, the hosts, Santa & Giovanni, are fantastic. We had arrived a little later than expected due to traffic delays, and they were so understanding and welcoming and even had some essentials ready for us so that we didn’t have to worry about anything. Communication with them was perfect and they added such nice personal touches in so many ways. I truly felt at home and didn’t want to leave this house. I would stay at this house again in a heartbeat and hope to come back again in the future.

Wonderful owners and property
Posted Sep. 5, 2019 on HomeAwayWe stayed at several properties in Italy this past summer and Santa and Giovanni were the best owners we stayed with. They are extremely nice and make you feel like part of their family. The house was in a good location for us to visit Siena, Florence and Arezzo. The inside is modern, very thoughtfully put together, very clean and the owners provided us with everything needed during the stay. The biggest surprise was the basket not of just fresh vegetables from their garden but also a couple other grocery products to help for a first day. Our kids enjoyed playing with the family little cats and had fun eating a couple of fruits from the fruit trees on the property. The wifi was excellent and youtube/netflix as well as an xbox were big sellers for the kids as well. Ilaria and her sister who helped with the checkin/checkout process were extremely knowledgeable about the property and made sure all our questions were answered. While the property does not have air conditioning the windows were thoughtfully installed to provide mosquito nets and outdoor shutters which close securely so you can sleep with the windows open. We really hope to be back at some point and stay here for more nights. Thank you Santa and Giovanni for a wonderful stay and for making us feel so welcome and like a part of your amazing family! See you next time!
