La maroneta - family friendly property with Tuscan flair

We were very pleased with the space. We were concerned that the kichen might night be adequate based on the pictures, but it worked perfectly. The beds are comfortable. Lots of comfortable clean space. This was the perfect space to launch our visits to other cities by car and train. Florence, Lucca, Sienna, Montecatini Alto and more. Mosquitos were an issue so we didn’t spend as much time outdoors as we would have liked. Fortunately the living room is spacious and bright. We'd open the screened windows and door and have plenty of fresh air.

The villa is extraordinary. Big and beautiful rooms, with a very high-tech system for water and electricity. We did not experience any power interruptions, but I'm confident that this house would have continue to operate for a few days without any problem.We did find some insect material in one of the drawyers, but this is a semi-remote villa, and it is difficult to keep all pests out, especially during the off-season.The host was gracious, and an excellent communicator. We really enjoyed our time there.

We really enjoyed our stay at La Maroneta. The villa has been carefully and lovingly restored - excellent windows, different, beautiful lights in every room, lots of paintings on the walls. There's plenty of wood for the fireplace, the kitchen is well equipped (even a nice tea pot) and the garden is well maintained with enough lawn furniture. Each of the three bedrooms is individually and practically furnished with wardrobes, chairs and mirrors. The villa is not far away from Pistoia, yet secluded enough to enjoy the peace and quiet of the beautiful countryside. The communication with Jacopo was easy, the check-in very comfortable with a key box and the instructions we got prior to our arrival regarding the appliances in the villa were very helpful. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Beautiful traditional Tuscan farmhouse set in lovely peaceful landscape. The house is well equipped with everything you will need. The rooms are all large and airy and, importantly, every window has a mosquito screen. The beds are big, comfortable with nice quality linen and each bedroom has more than adequate storage. In particular we loved the covered terrace and spent most of our evenings there. The local co-op shop is a five minute drive away (you will find only basic provisions there)and there is a bar/cafe directly opposite. There is a a much larger co-op on the outskirts of Pistoia and also an Aldi. The host,Jacopo, is very helpful and full of information. We loved our stay in La Maroneta and hope to return later this year.

The house is large and well maintained with a quiet garden/recreation area and an orchard of olive trees and grape vines. It is in a peaceful, secluded location near forest, but is in easy reach of local places of interest: Pistoia, Florence, Prato, Lucca and Pisa. Our host was friendly and responsive to our needs. Highly recommended.

Beautiful house in quiet environment. The house is large and friendly. Excellent facilities including bathrooms and kitchen. A 10 minute drive to shops and Pistoia but the town is well serviced. 35 minute train to Florence.

My family and me stayed in La Maroneta at the beginning of July 2018... and we just loved everything about this beautiful house. Doesn´t matter what you need, the house has just everything to make your stay comfortable (the owner even organized a baby bed and chair for our 1 year old daughter). Vassilica did her best to help when we needed it and we could contact anytime with Jacopo who responded every question in short time. At the end of our stay we had the pleasure to get to know Domenico and his wife. They gave us a lot of information about Pistoia. So everybody was really interested in making our stay perfect. The location of the house was what we were searching for. Just a few minutes outside of Pistoia (where you find supermarkets, restaurants, shops...) surrounded by nature. It was really central to do some trips to most of the famous Tuscany cities: Florence (20 mins), Lucca (30 mins), Pisa (60 mins), Siena (80 mins). Thanks to everybody for making our holidays such a pleasure! We will come back for sure :)

The cottage is perfectly located for a base to your Tuscan holiday. It is so well located in fact, that it is close enough to a very well serviced town and far enough that your peace and tranquillity is assured. The cottage is simply fabulous with everything that you need to spend a perfect week / fortnight in beautiful Tuscany. There are all the creature comforts you need but on top of that there is the fabulous tranquillity and peace from the fantastic countryside that surrounds you. The owners Father and Mother live in the adjoining property ( certain times of the year) and they are simply wonderful sources of local knowledge and history. I can happily remember the fabulous mornings sharing a coffee and the time of day just chatting with both of these lovely people, all of us happy just sharing the wonderful experience of a fabulous Tuscan morning. There are no negatives from our stay in this wonderful place and I am sure that my family and I will return to sample this little piece of paradise again. Thanks to the owner, his wonderful parents and Homeaway for making our holiday such a great success.
