[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] A very pleasant stay, functional accommodation, very well located for Florence, Pisa, and the Cinque Terre. The owner was very welcoming and offered helpful advice! Highly recommended!
Beautiful location and great accommodation. We were a big family of 8 adults, 6 children and 1 infant, and we easily fit in the rooms provided. Everything was great, everyone was very happy with it.
Do not expect a lot of nearby sightseeing, though. Most roads to and from the accommodation are quite narrow and winding. We mostly stayed in the house and by the pool, which also was very well managed. If you're planning to mostly stay in the house, it is perfect. Stia, which is located 5-10 minutes by car from the house, is a quiet little town that provides everything you need. It is also a nice place to spend some time.

Thank you for your review, we're really happy you like our property!
One of the reasons why our guests choose this house for their holidays is to enjoy a real tuscan experience far from places crowed with tourists to rediscover the beauty of a slow relaxing life. They want to savor authentic moments like spend quality time with family or friends in a peaceful place at their complete disposal and connect with nature...
Winding (and narrow expecially in little villages) roads are a tipical feature of tuscan countryside...
And what about nearby shigtseeing?
The house is located in the heart of tuscan countryside despite being close to the main tuscan cities. It's midway between Florence and Arezzo both reachable by car in about one hour, while the other big cities like Siena, Chianti, Montepulciano, Pienza, Lucca, Pisa can equally be reached by car in about two hours... Not so far away, after all!
Then of course there's Casentino valley that has nothing less then most popular places...
To say nothing of the many local wineries that organize wine tasting and home cooking restaurants where to taste tipical food...
Very close to the house there are a lot of historical and cultural sites that worth to be visited... like for example the medieval "borgo" (village) of Stia where there is also the "Wood art Museum" known for "panno Casentino" a tipical woollens product in Casentino valley weared by Audrey Hepburn "Colazione da Tiffany”.
Porciano Castle with its museum and the Romena Castle and Ancient Roman Church where you find also a bar/restaurant and a green equipped area with tables where you can relax.
Poppi and Raggiolo two of the Most Beautiful Village in Italy. In Poppi you can visit the Castle where lived Dante Alighieri and that was the prototype of Palazzo Vecchio in Florence.
Or even the sacred Hermitage and ancient Monastery of Camaldoli and again La Verna Sanctuary a big and beautiful church bild on the rock and usually known like the place where St. Francis lived for some period of his life and received the stigmata.
If you like nature and hiking you can enjoy activities organized by environmental tour guides like walking, e-bike tours or horseback ridings to discover the medieval villages of Casentino valley and the Casentinesi Forests National Park (UNESCO world heritage). They also organize activities for kids like water trekking in Arno river, trekking with the donkey or to see fireflies...
The Villa was lovely, the bedrooms large and most had a bathroom either on suite or close by. We loved sitting out under the wisteria where we could eat or just read and look at the beautiful view. The pool was great and we all enjoyed it, Grand-parents, parents and young children. We did have a problem with mosquitoes , there were mosquito plugs in the bedrooms but they still managed to get in - take anti-mosquito cream etc with you. Also, there needs to be a key pad on the gates as they only supply 2 clickers which is not enough for 3-4 cars. You must have cars as there are no buses and taxis are not ready available - the village is about 3 kms away.
We booked a chef for one meal which was marvelous for the price. All in all, a great success. (we were a family party of 13, all ages)
