    Our stay was fantastic. Everything was perfect. The welcome was warm and the landlords very friendly, uncomplicated and helpful. The property is beautiful and leaves nothing to be desired, even if the interior is small and, in our opinion, not really suitable for four adults. But who wants to sit indoors in Tuscany? The outdoor area is very comfortable and well equipped and we had a very good rest. However, a vehicle is necessary. And yes, you can hear the road, but it didn't bother us. We would gladly stay again.

    The small house is in a secluded spot with fantastic views of Castiglione and the mountains, both from the terrace as well as the bedroom. The outdoor pool and jacuzzi were a really nice addition. The owners welcomed us with traditional food and wine, which was very unexpected but very welcome when we arrived in the late afternoon. They also provided us with a lot of recommendations regarding both restaurants and fun things to do in the area. We highly recommend the house and plan to be back.

    We spent three weeks in this lovely house with our two kids (9 and 13 years old). Everything was just perfect - the house is hidden in the forest, so it's really private. The pool is awesome and the whirlpool, too. The house inside is small but really nice, cosy, clean and has everything you need. The owners are very friendly and helpful. The welcomed us warmly and prepared some Tuscan food on the patio for us. The cleaned the pool every few days when we were not there (they always told us before) and we got new towels and linen every week. There are nice restaurants nearby (you can reach them by car within 5-10 minutes). We also tried the pizza oven in the garden a few times, really special! We definitely recommend the holiday house!

    We stayed here for one week , from September 9th-16th. When we arrived the owner greeted us, as we were slightly early. He was extremely helpful and the property/views were truly amazing. We could not fault our stay at this property, the weather also helped as it was sunny and warm everyday. Well worth a visit. Locally there are restaurants with amazing food, the owner has a list of recommendations. We particularly enjoyed the restaurant Il Pozzo in one of the local towns

    We had a great time with the Object. We were very warmly welcomed by the host and his family. There was great tiramisu, fruit, cold drinks and snacks to welcome us. This was followed by a brief info on all the important points around the house. The pizza oven, the pool and the fireplace together with the great and cozy outdoor area we liked very much. The property is a bit hidden so privacy is guaranteed, however the driveway is still a bit adventurous the first few times. Everything necessary can be found in the immediate vicinity, but a car is necessary. Many thanks to Gabriele, who was always helpful with questions, even via WhatsApp.

    We had a great stay at this little gem. We’ve never stayed in a cottage as beautiful, complete and comfortable as this one. And the large private swimming pool made it perfect.

    All great! The view, house and entire surrounding is very beautiful and special. The owner is very pleasant and helpfull in any regard, welcoming us increadibly warm with a platter of local food, wine and sparkling wine. The house is decorated with love to every tiny detail and all practical matters are thought through very well (even an electic pump for inflatable pool toys was there). We will surely come back!

    We spent one week in this lovely house and had a great time! The house itself is really cosy and has everything that you need. And the garden with the pool is just perfect for a relaxing holiday. The owner is very friendly and helpful, he answered all of our questions immediately. He also welcomed us very warmly together with bis family. The area around offers a lot to do, for example visiting one of the beautiful villages around, hiking or shopping. All in all we can highly recommend the house. It‘s the right place for a perfect holiday!
