We spent 10 days at Podere Jana for our wedding, with 30 guests ranging from ages 9-84. Put simply, the property and the whole area is breathtaking and definitely highly recommended. The pictures do not do the property justice at all, we were very pleasantly surprised.
The property itself is spread over 2 buildings, the main house with 7 apartments (spread over 3 floors) each with their own kitchenette and bathroom. There is also a second building with large dining room and games area, kitchen and a another apartment above. This gave our families room to spread out so you had some privacy. We opted for air conditioning which was welcomed!
The communal areas are spacious and the outside bbq area is fantastic for big groups with plenty of seating.
The pool itself is very large, not too cold and there were plenty of sun loungers and chairs for everyone. The hot tub was also a great addition, and very well used by the group!
We had our wedding at the property and it was the most magical setting, we used the services of Special Happenings and Oasi Dolce for the reception dinner who were brilliant.
The staff onsite are a credit to the owners, the cleaner came to site twice a day to ensure communal areas were clean and she is so helpful and friendly. Paola who also lives locally was a great help when we struggled with the language barrier and I was delighted when they came to watch the wedding ceremony, I was so pleased they had come along and they captured some beautiful details.
Every member of our party commented how much better the place is than the listing shows!
Vinci itself is a lovely day out and easy to reach by car. The main attractions in Pisa, Lucca and Florence are all easily accessible by train and there is ample car parking at the station.
There are lots of supermarkets locally and vineyards and restaurants.
One tip, bring insect repellent! The area is beautiful with lots of Olive trees and other greenery (the fig trees are amazing!) but you will need repellent.
Overall a perfect 10 days and I would like to say Thankyou to the owners and on-site staff for making our holiday so special.
