Dear Jamie, thanks for your revue, we have considered buyng an electric kettle, but since the water in the pubblic aqueduct has a certain amount of limestone, the electric keetles deteriorate quickly. Best regards.

This property blew us away. Tucked away in the Tuscan hills with a gorgeous pool. The house was so well equipped and all the 5 bedrooms had en-suites which was perfect for our group.

Lucca Villa

Lovely villa just outside Lucca. Kitchen and bedrooms all lovely and the outside eating area is fantastic if the weather is good (which it was). Inside living rooms would be a bit dark/small for a house party of 10 people if you needed to spend a long time indoors. But overall very good.

We stayed at this villa for 7 weeks. It was a perfect base for exploring the region. The property is well set up for families/groups - 5 bedrooms, all with ensuites. The pool is large and was a swimmable temperature until the end of September (around 27 degrees Celsius in August, dipping to 21 degrees by early October). Lots of mosquitos in the area, but the villa has fly screens which is great. Our hosts were exceptional - friendly and attended to any issues promptly. We were very sad to leave! Highly recommended.

A lovely venue for a holiday in the Toscana

Everything was accurately described on the website. We particularly enjoyed the outdoor eating arrangement with grill and lounge area with a view of the countryside. Fully fenced in grounds for accompanying canine friends. Great pool. Etc. Etc. Last but not least our hosts were very nice and helpful. Six stars if I could give it that many.

Great pool, good bedrooms with dito bathrooms. Clean house. Very private location. A bit hard to find the first time (dont trust your nav system). Florence is about an hour drive (1,5 to city centre), Pisa 45 mins. Lucca is very nice to visit. Large supermarket 15 min. Minus: Wifi is slow and only in and close to the house (not at the pool).

Nella descrizione è chiaramente indicata la posizione della casa che è situata in campagna a due Km. dalla cittadina più vicina che offre tutti i servizi. Per quanto riguarda "l' infestazione di zanzare" non dipende da noi e tutte le finestre e la porta di cucina sono dotate di retini anti insetto, per quanto all'esterno esistono molti prodotti che tengono lontane le zanzare! Per quanto riguarda le altre sue osservazioni, bastava farcele presente ed avremmo provveduto. Mi dispiace della sua valutazione della casa che mi lascia stupito in quanto è ben diversa dalle altre valutazioni.

Lovely holiday in the Tuscan countryside

Villa Pieve is spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is well-equipped with dishware, with a large table for dining in. All the bedrooms are of good size, with plenty of storage, and en-suite bathrooms. We found our bed to be comfortable, and by opening all of the upstairs windows, we only needed to run our air conditioning two nights, despite abnormally hot weather. We spent most of our time outside, having breakfast and dinner out on the covered terrace, and sitting out there in the evening to play games. During the day, we spent our time cooling off in the pool, which is large, deep, and clean — and a lovely temperature for the hot weather. A few issues came up during the week, as they always will, but we received quick responses from Barbara, Vittorio and their son, and found them all very kind, helpful, and easy to deal with. We would gladly stay here again, and highly recommend it.

Toscana ferie

Et sted som fungerer fint for en vennegjeng på 10. Fine soverom/bad og kjøkken. Utestuen var uvurderlig, alle måltider ble inntatt her. Verten var veldig behjelpelig med innkjøp da vi kom sent på kvelden. Man bør nok ha en bil, da det var et stykke til supermarkedet og flere restauranter. Bassengområdet var flott.

Belle propriété proche de Lucques

Villa très bien équipée avec de très beaux extérieurs. Idéale pour un groupe. Nous étions 8 dont 4 ados de 13 à 17 ans. Le fait que chaque chambre dispose de sa sdb est très pratique de même que la zone repas extérieure proche de la cuisine. Une location spacieuse et de grande qualité. Deux petits bémols (il en faut bien 😉): 1. toutes les chambres ne sont pas équipées de moustiquaires donc impossible de dormir fenêtres ouvertes mais climatisation en supplément 2. « Pompe » assez bruyante si fenêtres ouvertes. Hôtes très accueillants.

Grazie per le indicazioni e consigli, purtroppo le 4 finestre lato sud non avevano le zanzariere perchè si erano rotte ai clienti precedenti e sono in riparazione. Comunque con l'aria condizionata è stato possibile rimediare al problema.

Excellent Multiple Family Holiday Villa

This is an excellent venue in idyllic Tuscan countryside. The rooms are all of more than adequate size with en-suite bathroooms and air con. Large kitchen and dining area, but the real plus is the outside barbecue and seating. The pool is a good size and was regularly cleaned. The property (locally called Villa Pieve) is in a secluded location off a gravel road, you can walk to the local town where there are some nice restaurants, the local supermarket is about 2k from the villa. Excellent location to visit Lucca, Pisa and Florence, all in all a villa you will find hard to beat for the price.

Molto tranquillo e confortevole. Personale molto gentile e preparato.

Soggiorno piacevole, rilassante in un bel contesto. Proprietari molto cortesi e personale gentilissimo. Sicuramente da consigliar. Noi eravamo in quattro più due bambini e ci siamo trovati benissimo. Il periodo di due settimane che abbiamo fatto a cavallo di ferragosto ci faceva pensare a rumore e confusione. Nulla di tutto questo ma sole, pace e relax.
