The owners made sure we had all we need and more, they are very nice people. The property is very private with beautiful gardens, we enjoyed eating outside under the patio, there are 2 barbecues and there is no shortage of space. The location is perfect for day trips to Florence, Pisa and Siena, do not miss the lovely hill towns like Voltera e Sangimignano.

Review for stay from 16 July 2022 to 23 July 2022

Fantastic pool! And the owner kept it clean every day. Nice, clean, spacious house with excellent air conditioning (important in the very hot summer of 2022) in beautiful surroundings. The house is located in a quiet spot, but ideal for trips to e.g. San Gimignano, Siena and Montepulciano. Ideal house for a family vacation. The gravel road leading to the house was a bit of a challenge and I would not like to drive to the house for the first time in the dark (or at all when dark).

Es ist eine wundervolle Unterkunft. Wir waren hier für circa eine Woche mit einer weiteren Familie untergekommen und wollten einige Tage unsere Ruhe, was in dieser Unterkunft in jedem Fall möglich ist. Es ist sehr sauber der Vermieter ist sehr freundlich und hat auf jegliche Kommunikation direkt reagiert. es ist eine wundervolle Aussicht drum herum und auch den Pool kann man super genießen, der jeden Tag am Morgen gereinigt wird. Der einzige Nachteil, den man aber in Kauf nimmt, ist die Entfernung zu einem weiteren Supermarkt oder generell zum nächsten vor Ort. Die zwei Wohnungen, die übereinander sind sind identisch. Dadurch können zwei Familien super an diesen Ort Urlaub machen. Waschmaschine und Klimaanlage sind vorhanden. Die Waschmaschine ist außerhalb der Wohnung, so dass beide Familien immer Zugriff hatten. Die Klimaanlagen und die Waschmaschine funktionieren einwandfrei. Wir waren sehr glücklich und erholt und kommen sehr gerne wieder.

Veldig mye bra. Noen små ting: Sengene var harde, det var ikke ekstra toalett papir i huset eller tørkepapir, og ingen støvsuger eller vasketing tilgjengelig. Vakkert området veldig rolige folk, men minst 15mkn til nærmeste mini marked. Må ha bil. Deilig basseng.

Una perla nell’ immenso spazio delle colline toscane, facilissimo da trovare, l’ospitalità del proprietario è stata, oltre che professionale, molto ma molto cordiale e amichevole! Vicino a tutte le più belle location nei dintorni! Sicuramente ci torneremo! CONSIGLITISSIMO per gli amanti della tranquillità.

Il soggiorno perfetto, 5 stelle su tutto. Unica grande nota negativa il wifi praticamente inutilizzabile in più di una persona connessa, al contempo, tuttavia, mi rendo conto della difficoltà di una rete efficiente in mezzo alle colline. Proprietari molto gentili e disponibili, posizione top, panorama stupendo, piscina ben tenuta, cucina ben fornita. Interni un po' antichi che rendono in prezzo più che onesto. Ci ritornerei sicuramente

ottima la posizione della casa all'interno di una vallata che ci si arriva dopo aver percorso una strada sterrata con un panorama davvero spettacolare, il silenzio che si gode dalla posizione della casa, il cielo stellato e i suoni della natura che ti accompagnano sono davvero cosa unica. Gentilissimo il padrone di casa.

Nous avons passé un très bon séjour à il Piccio. Plutôt central en Toscane. Hôte accueillant et très serviable. Les 2 apparts permettent à 2 familles de se restaurer ensemble mais de se reposer séparement. La piscine est un atout indéniable! Petit moins: très peu d'electroménager (pas de bouilloire, grille pain, four ou lave vaisselle)

Très belle propriété au calme. Idéale pour deux familles. Belle villa situé dans un lieu calme. Elle est équipé simplement mais c'est largement suffisant.Organisation parfaite. Le propriétaire est très disponible mais il parle principalement italien. La cuisine est simple. Il manque juste un lave vaisselle pour les paresseux ;-) Les chambres sont suffisantes pour les vacances. La villa est située au milieu de la campagne. Il fait très calme mais l'accès se fait par une route en gravier. La villa correspond parfaitement à la description. Belle piscine entretenue tous les jours. Tant le propriétaire que posarelli villas ont été très disponibles et ont répondu à toutes les questions.

Volterra est situé au centre de la Toscane, et nous avons donc pu visiter Pise, Sienne, San Gimigiano, et la côte très facilement en voiture, tout en appréciant beaucoup de temps de détente dans la maison et à Volterra lui-même. La maison est très paisible et avait tout ce dont nous avions besoin, avec beaucoup d'espace pour notre groupe de 10 personnes. Fortement recommandé pour des vacances en famille!

Review for stay from 30 August 2020 to 05 September 2020

We enjoyed our stay here. Located in the middle of the Tuscan countryside, 2km drive on a gravel road. Volterra is 10-15 mins away, San Gigmiano about 30 mins, Siena less than an hour. The house was clean and ready for us as we arrived and the caretaker of the property was welcoming, check in process was easy and fast. There are 2 separate self contained identical apartments, one on the ground floor and the other on the top floor, with an outside desk and BBQ area for each. We rented both and had the place to ourselves. A big lovely pool with reclining chairs and parasols. The house is surrounded by olive trees and a few other houses, part of an olive oil farm. The inside was clean, but it is rather basic (as expected). Good value for money if you don't want to spend thousands but still have a whole house with a pool to yourself (houses 2 families or 8 people comfortably, 4 in each apartment).

Wer es ruhig, abgeschieden und rustikal mag, dem sei „il picchio“ („Der Specht“) herzlich empfohlen. 2km abseits der Regionalstrasse mitten in Weizenfeldern gelegen bietet es Toscana pur. Die Vermieter sind sehr herzlich und berichten gerne über das Leben in der Landwirtschaft. Die Einrichtung ist einfach und rustikal, aber ausreichend. Der grosszügige Pool wird täglich gereinigt und ist gerade mit Kindern der Trumpf. Im grossen Garten mit vielen Bäumen, Büschen und Hecken gibt es zu jeder Zeit schöne Schatten- und Sonnenplätze. Und Schliesslich lädt auch die eigene Bocciabahn zum gemütlichen Spiel. Einkaufen in Volterra oder Val d‘Elsa braucht pro Weg eine gute Viertelstunde, nach Cecina Mare an den Strand gegen 5/4 Stunden. Trotz sehr hoher Temperaturen war es sehr angenehm - fast immer geht in den Hügeln (knapp 300 müM) ein Wind.
