A place in the sun
We had a lovely 12 day stay in this charming little villa near Tuscany. Loretta was a wonderful host and the location was perfect for us. We enjoyed exploring Sienna, Florence and nearby Poggibonsi, but days in the pool at the villa were hard to beat (especially with the 40 degree heat).

Fantastic!!!
This place was great!!! First, Loretta was a great host. She made sure that we were comfortable and had everything we needed. She also provided insights into local stores, restaurants and places to visit.
The apartment itself was incredibly charming. Lots of room for the two of us and all the comforts of home. And having the pool was just icing on the cake!

The most beautiful place with an atmosphere full of friendliness and a great sense of aesthetics
We just loved having our holiday in Loretta´s beautiful house. The house and its surroundings are perfect for relaxation and for enjoying and exploring the beautiful Toscana. Loretta is a very friendly and helpful host. We are grateful, that we had the opportunity to enjoy this little piece of paradise in Tuscany near the historic Florence, and we will certainly return.

Consigliatissimo!
La casetta in cui abbiamo soggiornato è deliziosa. Loretta e la sua famiglia sono stati sempre disponibili, cordiali e discreti. L’aria fresca del mattino ad accompagnare la colazione a bordo piscina è qualcosa che sarà moooolto moolto difficile dimenticare!!!
Grazie Loretta, è stato un piacere!

RELAX .....
Siamo stati in questo cottage per 2 settimane con la nostra cagnolina. Splendida esperienza. Alloggio tipico toscano con bella piscina praticamente esclusiva circondato da un grande giardino situato in campagna. In pochi minuti di auto si raggiunge un fornitissimo supermarket e la sua posizione permette di visitare Firenze, Siena e San Gimignano con estrema facilità. Ma quello che ci ha colpito è stata la gentilezza e la disponibilità dei proprietari, rispettosi della privacy ma sempre pronti a consigli utili. Un luogo dove godere di tranquillità e aria buona. Consigliamo vivamente questo luogo. Grazie per il bel periodo trascorso.

Vacanza con carattere in un bellissimo ambiente
Abbiamo passato una settimana incantevole nella proprietà di Loretta, che e' stata molto gentile e disponibile, insieme alla sua famiglia fornendoci informazioni utili. La casa e' esattamente come si vede nelle foto, con un letto matrimoniale nel soppalco e due divani nella stanza principale, uno dei quali e' stato utilizzato come letto singolo. Tutta la casa e' stata arredata con attenzione ai piccoli particolari ed e' confortevole. Unico punto di attenzione e' la mancanza di aria condizionata o di un ventilatore per le notti più calde, anche se è possibile fare un pò di corrente con le finestre. La casa e' sulle colline ed e' quindi indispensabile avere la macchina anche per fare la spesa. La piscina e' bene organizzata e molto piacevole, la cui condivisione con la famiglia non e' stata un problema. Ci ritorneremo sicuramente

Perfect location
We had an incredible time in this beautiful and extremely clean house. Loretta and her beautiful family, her husband and daughter have been very helpful throughout our stay. The pool is the highlight, the water is very very clean. Although Loretta and her family are living very close, we had 100% privacy and they all have been so discrete and respectful. All most beautiful spots in the Toscany are very fast to reach, so the location is more than perfect.
All in all the house, the cleanness and the privacy you get in this house is incredible. 100 stars!

Paradiso
Un posto incantevole, una dependance unica, accogliente, come essere a casa propria ma anche meglio! Proprietari estremamente discreti che ci hanno regalato pomodori con cui abbiamo fatto un sugo strepitoso. Se la Toscana mi è rimasta nel cuore è sicuramente anche merito di Loretta e della sua famiglia. Non sono riuscita a trattenere le lacrime prima di andar via, mi succedeva da bambina quando andavo in vacanza con la zia.
Grazie di tutto, di sicuro torneremo.

Ein schöner Ort zum Entspannen
Alles da, was man braucht, einen entspannten und schönen Urlaub zu verbringen. Da wir sehr viel Glück mit dem Wetter hatten, konnten wir den Pool ausreichend und ausgiebig nutzen. Auch die Gartendusche war sehr erfrischend. Für Uns war es mal eine andere Art Urlaub zu machen, da wir uns auch selbst verpflegt haben, und die Zeit zu zweit genießen konnten. Kein Hotel mit Hektik und abends essen gehen, sondern einfach In gemütlicher Atmosphäre zu essen und zu schwimmen.

séjour de rêve au calme
La maison est jolie et décorée avec goût. Située au milieu de nulle part, entourée d'oliviers. Très joli jardin, et bien sûr la piscine !
Une chambre en mezzanine, et deux lits enfants dans la pièce à vivre ; pas de séparation entre les pièces.
Une cuisine équipée et une petite salle à manger.
Bref, tout le nécessaire, sans superflu : on aurait aimé quelques cuillères en plus, une bouilloire...
Séjour idyllique : environnement magnifique, piscine, et plein de choses à voir dans les alentours. Si Florence est à une heure de route, on rejoint San Giminiano en un gros quart d'heure.
