Guest comments
"We're a danish family of 5 who rented Joes house in the summer of 2009. We have rented many houses in Italy before but the welcoming we received from Cecilia was outstandingly warm and we felt at home immediately. The house is fantastic, extremely well interior decoration and suppliance. Marvelous bathrooms. The garden and pool areas are with the most beautiful views over the Tuscan hills. The house is a bit isolated, but on the other hand it gives you absolute peace and privacy. The small village of Casole d´Elsa is nearby, 15mins by car, and offers lovely small authentic restaurants. We will certainly recommend it to family and friends.'

Dear Joe and Cecilia, thank you so much for the fantastic time we just had in your beautiful home, the BBQ was a great hit with us and made the most of it.
We also loved the fact that the kids were safe at all times.
We are looking forward to returning sometimes soon.
