FIRST FLOOR APARTMENT

Myself, my partner and 3 sons had the most idyllic 8 days here. We had the upstairs apartment which was so spacious, clean, comfortable and had absolutely everything we could have needed and more. We where in need of a lazy, relaxing holiday and the peace and quiet here provided that. The boys loved the pool and when cool enough, made use of the tennis court and basketball. We enjoyed short day trips to Lucca, Vinci, Pisa and Florence. Our hosts where very friendly, and provided a delicious welcome tart, home grown tomatoes and olive oil. Our boys where sent regularly to the garden to collect the herbs offered for our use. A completely easy and relaxing place to be. Thank you!

We really liked the friendly good english (also french) speaking family that welcomed us with a delicious own made cake. And we also enjoyed our last evening with a homemade pizza diner! We stayed for one week on the first floor apartment with airco in the living and kitchen. It is very complete, you could actually live there instead of being on holiday. In the garden (back of the house) is a 5x10 clean (lighted in evening) swimming pool with enough sun-beds and a shaded place to sit. There is also a nice view and no traffic at the back. We also enjoyed the tennis court, table tennis, basketball and table football game. The bakery is 700m from the house, the closest supermarket is 6km away in Lamporecchio. A minor point of criticism could be the noise of cars at the street at the front of the house or the fact that you have other houses in the street. So if you have in mind to be alone on a tuscan hill surrounded with only vineyards book something else, but otherwise we really recommend this place. The location is perfect for making trips to Florence, Pisa, Lucca, San Gimignano, Chianti wine route; all around a one hour drive by car. We also visited Cinque Terre from La Spezia (from there by train) which is a 90 min drive by car.

A most enjoyable stay. An emmaculate accommodation, very spacious, loved the swimming pool, tennis courts and gardens. Good Central location to visit Pistoia,Vinci, Pisa, Florence and Montecatini Terme Alto etc. Mario and Francesca and family were very helpful and friendly. We would highly recommend this accommodation and we thank you for a great holiday.

The epitome of all the Italian we could wish for - really sweet and welcoming hosts, small olive grove, own tennis court, swimming pool, delicious apartment and much more made our holiday unique!

The apartment is very spacious and well maintained. The pool was one of the highlights of our holiday and the owners are very friendly and welcoming.

We have had a fantastic 2 week stay here in Tuscany. Thank you to Mario, Santina and family for making us so welcome and for all the home grown produce, homemade tart and the wonderful Pizza Party during our stay. The villa was lovely - very well equipped and spacious and we were especially grateful for the air conditioning! We all enjoyed the fantastic facilities - pool, tennis court, ping pong and table football. The villa is in a beautiful location, easily accessible and well situated for visiting the cities - Pisa, Florence, Lucca etc as well as beaches and the local area. There is so much to see and do and we definitely hope to return.

The apartment was large in size, beautifully decorated inside, with quality fixtures and fittings and all that you could need on a holiday with in it. The outdoor pool with sun beds, BBQ area, tennis court and small children's play area were kept to Hugh standard too. The personal touch of home made produce on arrival and a pizza mid week meant so much and really was appreciated. A great location to explore local area, only 45 mins from Piza and 55 mins from Florence. Very Close to Vinci. You need a car if you wish to explore. The host family were so friendly and were there if anything was needed (not that we required them at all) and their English was good. We would return to the Villa again and highly recommend it.

As the previous reviews mentionned, we were greeted by Mario and Santina with fresh fruits and homemade pie. Olive oil (from their own olives!) was graciously refilled (our daughters liked it so much, we used a whole bottle !) Both of them were so welcoming, ready to do anything to make our stay confortable/memorable. Santina even made us fried zucchini flowers on our last night ! Ideal location to visit Toscany (within one hour drive of every city you want to visit). The apartment is even better than it looks on the pictures ! Roomy, amazingly clean ! The pool was the place to cool down after a busy (hot) day visiting the countryside. Thank you so much Mario and Santina for the best week of our trip ! Genevieve and Marc

We truly enjoyed staying at this lovely apartment for 2 weeks, located close to many fabulous cities such as Siena, Lucca, Firenze, San Miniato and Vinci. The apartment was very silent, spacious, comfortable and clean, also the pool, garden, tennis court and table tennis were really well maintained. We have never met such nice, extremely friendly and helpful hosts, Mario & Santina. At our arrival we received a homemade pie and almost every day we received fresh herbs, tomatoes and vegetables from their own garden. Special thanks for their homemade pizza's, they were delicious and very much appreciated. The photo's on the site are accurate. We highly recommend the apartment for couples and families. The children also adored La Casa delle Rondini. Thank you Mario & Santina, our vacation in Lamporecchio was great !
