We had a fantastic stay. The accommodations and property are beautiful, and the pool was perfect. We used it almost every day. We couldn’t have asked for more. Andrea was a fabulous host. He was always available if needed. We even purchased his olive oil to take home and share with extended family. We hope to come back sometime. Thank you!

Our stay was absolutely amazing. Andrea made the stay so much more personal by buying us groceries for our very late check in, recommending restaurants and driving us to places we would otherwise have struggled to get to. The accommodation was perfect and we could not have asked for a better time!

Wij hebben heerlijk genoten van het ontspannen verblijf in deze vakantiewoning. Fijn onthaal door Andrea met de nodige tips voor de omgeving maar vooral genoten van de mooie vergezichten en de rust.
Een aanrader!!!

This apartment had all that we could have hoped for a stay in the beautiful Tuscan countryside. The property itself was charming, quiet, and very comfortable, and the organic olive farm in which it is situated is beautiful with stunning views of the hills surrounding Florence. Of course, the olive oil produced on the farm was delicious. It really did feel like staying in a little slice of paradise.
The apartment is located outside a lovely village that is outside the beaten tourist path; going to the shops and fantastic restaurants, we felt like we were the only non-locals there, which made us feel like we were truly experiencing the local culture.
Andrea, Sandra, and Lorenzo are very friendly and welcoming hosts who provided all the comforts and advice we needed for a relaxing stay. The instructions Andrea provided for arriving were very detailed and his recommendations for exploring the area were well considered. We really enjoyed chatting with them and hearing Andrea's beautiful piano playing drift into the patio as we sat outside.
Our only regret is that we had to return home! We hope to return to this special place one day.
