Great place for relaxing break
Everyone in our group enjoyed staying at the beautiful property during a holiday with my wife's family (8 adults and 6 children).
The house is plenty big enough with good size bedrooms and good living spaces as well as useful outdoor space.
It was a shame that no welcome pack was provided unlike the ones you get at other properties - maybe a bottle of wine and some milk and bread would have been a nice touch.
During our stay (August 2023) the temperatures hit 38-40 degrees centigrade and it meant the bedrooms (no air conditioning) were really hot at night even with ceiling fans. We did request freestanding fans but none were made available.
The swimming pool is large and clean and warm - the children and adults loved spending time in the pool to cool off!
As we were on holiday in August the mosquitoes and flies were a big nuisance and the whole group got bitten plenty so I'd recommend good bug spray and burning a candle at night!!
The walk into town is via a dusty track and the local town has a basic shop. To go to good eateries you will need to drive. That said the property is a great location for getting to Florence.
The tennis court and football pitch was fantastic and enjoyed by many of the family.
The view from the property was breathtaking also.
In summary if the property had air conditioning in the bedrooms (you pay for electricity during your stay anyway!) then it would be 5 stars.
Certainly the host Tomasso was really friendly and full of good tips!
