Reviews

“ Coming up short of our expectations ”

If you are looking for a "classic Tuscan farmhouse" in a beautiful setting in Tuscany and perfectly situated to visit other parts of Tuscany, this villa would be a good match for you. It is well taken care of by the caretaker, Angela, who is a lovely person. It is a good villa for a group bc each bedroom has an ensuite bathroom.

However, the brochure describes it as "a stylish and elegant villa." It is not. All of the fixtures in the bathrooms and the kitchen are antiquated. All of the showers but one are European style meaning they are handheld. Europeans may be accustomed to these showers but Americans are not. There is only one shower where the shower head is attached to the wall. The hot water situation was problematic: some days we had none, some days we had enough for a few showers and in both cases, it was necessary to wait 5-10 minutes for the hot water to make an appearance.

The living room which should have been an inviting place to sit and chat, read, have drinks and appetizers, etc was severely compromised by the overly worn and uncomfortable furniture. And last, but not least, the lighting throughout the villa is completely inadequate. When we came home after dark, we turned on every light in order to feel at home there. It is close to impossible to apply make up in the bathrooms due to the inadequate lighting.

Bottom line: if these shortcomings don't dissuade you, then this is a good rental property for the price.


Dan says: "Thank you for this balanced review. You've fairly captured both the property's charms and its traditional (rather than modernised) character. I've added a note about the showers to our description and discussed the hot water with the owner. Glad you enjoyed your week and found Angela so helpful."
