Location, location: much privacy and great views. Comfort can be improved further.
This lovely house is completed surrounded by vineyards and top tourist attractions such as Florence, Pisa, San Gimignano, Sienna and Volterra are all within 1 hour driving’s distance. It is an old farm building, furnished with traditional furniture and a great, large outside pool. Beds are OK and everything is clean. The owners are living nearby and were extremely kind and cooperative without being intrusive. Room for improvement: water pressure and water heating is hardly up for the job. From time to time you smell the sewer a bit. And all bed rooms have only electric fans and no A/C, which was not so pleasant after hot days. Kitchen is small and especially the fridge is too small when 8 or more people are using the house. Having the garbage stored so close to the deck/patio is not great either: smelly and it attracts many flies. As everywhere in Tuscany, mosquitos are a problem. Especially in the bedroom on the ground floor. But the owners solved this issue swiftly for us by providing a mosquito net and electrical mosquito deterrents. But I guess this is all part of the country-side charm. We had a good time and enjoyed the stay in Villa Elisa a lot!
