Our special wine-tasting, Our lovely house, an ancient renewed cottage with panoramic pool is located in the middle of splendid Casentino Valley countryside. From the pool a beautiful view on the Pratomagno mountains and the Casentino Valley with its famous National Park. Even if our pool is a share pool, every family has its own intimacy and privacy bacause our guests use our house also to organize daily trips to the art towns and use seldom our pool.

Relaxing place in Tuscany
This is an absolutely private place in the Tuscany’s hills. You can relax all day, but if you want the hustle and bustle of the city, Arezzo is the nearest big city (Siena 1.5 hours by car). There are several restaurants to choose nerby. A major shopping centre is 20-30 minutes away. The house is typical Tuscan style and well equipped, energy consumption needs attention but we had no problem. The big pool was our favourite, we spent almost the whole day there, there’s not much else to do on a hot summer day. We recommend the place for those who prefer relaxation and retreat.

Relaxing holiday in the hills with a gorgeous pool
We had a great two weeks staying in the house. It was really spacious and had everything we needed. Although there was no air conditioning it wasn’t needed, as the building is a traditional Tuscan farmhouse with really thick walls so no need to worry about the heat. The pool was a major highlight - really big and great for swimming properly in, as well as splashing around for the kids. There are four families who can stay altogether as the pool is shared with more flats but this wasn’t a problem and most of the time we were on our own in the pool. Great location for Arezzo, Florence, Poppi and some great walks in the hills nearby when it gets too hot. I can highly recommend it!

Casa Giannino
Thank you, Cecilia and Massimo, for your hospitality! We (2 adults, 3 kids (ages 15/13/8)) spent 16 wonderful days in the lovely Casa Giannino! The house and property are very well taken care of. The house is clean, the beds are comfortable, the kitchen has everything you need (except an oven; there is a toaster oven and we managed just fine), the covered breakfast nook was the perfect spot to start the day, the pool is clean and large, the grounds are well kept, and view over the valley is spectacular. It was a fantastic home base for our daily trips exploring the region and for relaxing at the pool, both in the morning and the evenings. We hiked a lot in the Foreste Casentinesi, explored the monasteries of La Verna and Camaldoli, went to Arezzo, Florenz, Anghiari, Poppi, and many more tiny medieval towns, enjoyed all the Gelato we could find and many dinners at various restaurants (Il Mulino in Rassina is a definite favorite). It was great to meet Marco and Greta, the vintners operating the Ornina winery, see their operation and purchase the wine made right there on the premises. All in all it was a fantastic vacation with many new discoveries, we would love to visit again! Cheers!

Ons verblijf was werkelijk prachtig. We hebben genoten van de vriendelijke mensen, de indrukwekkende natuur en de Italiaanse cultuur. Een parel in de heuvels. Dankbaar dat we hebben mogen genieten van deze prachtige plek.

Nice
Its a nice place but it is on top of a hill with a really small road to it...almost no place to pass another car. When we arrived the host thought we would arrive the day after, so we had to wait for another hour for the key. The house was fine, big enough, nice bedrooms and living room and kitchen is fine. The pool is great! The winery is super and really tastefull! We had a nice vacation.

Beau séjour Toscan
Nous avons passé 3 semaines très agréables à Ornina. Un décors magique et un calme total. La piscine pour les retours de ballades et superbe et le jardin très bien entretenu. La maison très agréable également, demande quelques travaux mais la propriétaire va les faire. Sinon c est très confortable. Attention toutefois les belles villes et villages ne sont pas à moins de 30 mn de voiture. 1h 30 pour Florence, 1h45 pour siene, 1h45 pour Perouzze. Mais le temps de trajet vaut le coup, tant le retour à la maison est sublime. A essayer absolument le restaurant se trouvant à Castel Focognano pour la qualité de l assiette et le village ( tout prêt lui par contre). Enfin passer par la Ombrie tout aussi magnifique que la Toscane et à equi- distance d autres beaux endroits Toscans ( gros plus de cette location ). Merci à Massimo !!!!! On recommande ++++++++++++

Ruhe und Natur
Wir, 2 Erwachsene, waren 14 Tage in diesem wundervollen Ferienhaus. Es ist sehr schön gelegen, mitten in der Natur, viel Grün, toller Ausblick auf die bewaldeten Hügel der Toskana, viele Tiere... Wer Ruhe und Entspannung sucht, ist hier genau richtig. Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen und der Kontakt zu Cecilia war verbindlich und sehr herzlich. Sie hatte uns vor der Ankunft schon viele Tipps per email geschickt, wo wir am besten einkaufen, essen usw. Das war super. So haben wir Angelio und seine Familie aus dem Restaurant Il Mulino kennengelernt und die beste Pizza überhaupt gegessen. Unbedingt hingehen! In der Umgebung haben wir uns viele kleine, tolle Orte angesehen, von Bibienna über Poppi bis Arezzo. Die größeren sehenswerten Städte wie Siena, Florenz, San Gimignano oder Pisa sind immer ein Tagesausflug , aber es lohnt sich und in Arezzo gibt es einen Bahnhof mit Direktverbindung nach Florenz. Im Haus selbst sind die wichtigsten Dinge vorhanden, die Küche ist vollständig eingerichtet, Öl, Gewürze etc. Haben wir vor Ort gekauft. Wir haben uns im Haus, dem geräumigen Wohnzimmer und auch an den schattigen Sitzplätzen um das Haus herum sehr wohlgefühlt, hatten einen guten Mix aus Entspannung am Pool und Unternehmungen. (Mückenschutz nicht vergessen!) Wir danken Cecilia und Massimo für den herzlichen Kontakt und den tollen Tipp bei Greta und Mario eine Weinprobe zu machen. Das war auch ein ganz tolles Erlebnis. Wir können diese Destination nur empfehlen und werden vielleicht nochmal wiederkommen, denn es gibt so Vieles in der Toskana zu sehen und zu erleben.

Ruhe in der Abgeschiedenheit
Es war genau das, was wir gesucht und erwartet hatten: eine geräumige Unterkunft im typischen Stil der Toskana abseits der touristischen Hochburgen und mit einem Swimmingpool. Die Unterkunft fanden wir dank ausführlicher deutscher Beschreibung, der Kontakt mit Cecilia war schon vor der Ankunft sehr hilfreich und sie hat sich um alles gekümmert, auch bei Nachfragen vor Ort. Wir haben uns in der sehr sauberen Unterkunft sehr wohl gefühlt, die Ausstattung der Wohnung ist hervorragend. Zu kämpfen hatten wir mit den Mücken und Bremsen, aber da kann der Vermieter nichts dafür und hat auch versucht, durch Versprühen von Mitteln die Lage zu verbessern. Die Abgeschiedenheit des Hauses ist Vor- und Nachteil zugleich, bei Ausflügen ist man schon immer eine Zeit unterwegs. In Erinnerung bleiben wird uns auch ein unglaublicher Nachthimmel, den man so in Bayern wegen der Lichtverschmutzung kaum mehr zu sehen bekommt. Danke Cecilia fü eine sehr schöne Woche!

Prachtig gelegen eenvoudig maar charmant huis
We hebben genoten! Eenvoudig maar ruime woning met een overdekt terrasje waar je ook bij warm weer kan zitten en eten. Het uitzicht is fantastisch en het zwembad ligt ook heel mooi. Er zijn voldoende ligstoelen. In de regio is voldoende te doen. We hebben Arrezzo, Assisie, Anghieri en Firenze bezocht en we hebben mooie wandelingen gemaakt in het natuurpark Casentino. Communicatie met Cecilia ging prima en ze waren zeer behulpzaam met tips. Een aanrader!

Un très bon sejour
Deux semaines très agréables dans une maison spacieuse et bien équipée quoique un peu vieillissante. La piscine même partagée est très agréable et calme avec une exposition idéal (du soleil et de l’ombre toute la journée). Attention aux moustiques, pour profiter pleinement des soirées et des terrasses réparties dans toute la propriété. À découvrir !

Schöne geräumige Ferienwohnung mit schönem Pool in einer herrlichen Landschaft
Uns (6köpfige Familie) hat die Ferienwohnung gut gefallen. Sie ist ruhig gelegen und gut geeignet um Ausflüge in die Natur zu machen oder auch in die nahegelegenen schönen Dörfer und Städte wie z.B. Arezzo. Der Pool ist gut gepflegt und man kann auch vorort tolle entspannte Tage verbringen. Die Vermieter sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Uns haben allerdings der Weg von der Küche zu den Essplätzen im Garten und die Insekten vor allem abends davon abgehalten öfter draussen gemütlich zu speisen, das war etwas schade.

De tuin is heerlijk om in te vertoeven. Huisje compleet ingericht, wat ouderwets maar dat vonden wij wel charmant.
