What an amazing place to stay. This villa is stunning- it is beautifully furnished with unique and eclectic touches in every room. It is great to have the whole house to yourself, a real treat. The pool is a welcome bonus at the end of a hot sticky day.
Melissa, the owner was a perfect hostess: nothing was too much trouble for her. She went out of her way to make us feel welcome providing a fantastic spread on our arrival - salamis, crostini, pastries, a fruit tart and wine. She is a super cook and made herself available to come and prepare a wonderful homemade pizza for us, cooked onsite in the villa's own pizza oven. A real treat. Melissa was always available by phone if we needed anything. She was happy to answer any question we might have, or provide us with information to help us plan our travels, for example the best way to get into Florence or the location of various fiestas.
This villa is in a brilliant location if you are looking to explore Tuscany - every key city is accessible within 30 mins - 1 1/2 hour drive. We managed to explore Sienna, Florence, Cortona, Pisa and Lucca as well as some smaller but no less beautiful local medieval towns.
I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending a stay at this villa - I'm sure like us, you won't be disappointed.
