    The house is great and very well équiped. The garden and the swimling pool are fabulous. If you are looking for a quiet place go for it! Reading a book under the figs and olive trees is Very relaxing. The instructions are very clear and the people looking after the house are discret and Nice. The children were very happy. We can see the hard work that has been done since 1990.

    Three of us stayed at Vasciano 9 for two weeks. A wonderfully curated traditional tuscan farmhouse just the right size for our little group. The vision and execution of the gardens are exceptional. There are so many thoughtful spots to rest and enjoy. And, the pool, is soooooo nice after a day walking around the local towns. The owners have a complete set of notebooks introducing local businesses and necessities. A very special experience.

    Vasciano is a lovely haven and Hilary a thoughtful and responsive host. The house is charming and well-equipped. The garden is a real joy, mature and well-maintained - the photos do not do it justice - with banks of flowers, the pool set apart, table in different locations and a built-in barbecue. The situation is peaceful with some local views. Given the rural location, few journeys other than to the nearest village are less than half an hour; there are attractions in every direction, though staying put is also very appealing! Highly recommended for a family or small group.

    We had a wonderful week - the sort of place you almost don't want to tell people about in case everyone discovers it! Beautiful garden, pool, views, well-equipped and spacious farmhouse which was ideal for our family. All communication was perfect and lots of helpful information in advance and at the house. We feel very grateful to have found it and hope to return. Thank you Hilary and Jack.

    We traveled as a family of three and had a great stay. The villa is very well equipped and lovingly restored and has a beautiful well maintained garden. The Pool was fantastic. We had some small issues with insects around the pool, but the owner helped us to find some solutions quickly. We did some kovely trips to nearby historic villages. Great holiday.
