Great vacation in the beautiful Tuscany

Visited here with my extended family. Cigiano di Sotto was a perfect place for us all. The house was spacious enough for 12 people as it's actually 2 apartments rented together, so lots of space for all of us including 2 dining patios! The views from the house and pool are amazing. The pool was really big and great for swimming lengths as well as play. There was plenty of pool furniture for us all. The lovely village of Castiglione is only a 2 minute walk and there are 3 restaurants and bars in the village (there's literally a pizzeria 30s walk from the house). This was a massive bonus. Silvano's bar was our favourite. It's also a shop so we rarely had to use the car to go anywhere. Highly recommend this place and can't wait to return!

Great Holiday!

I just got back from a week in this farmhouse and had a brilliant time. I stayed there with family to celebrate a birthday and there were 15 of us in total. The views are absolutely amazing and photos don't do it justice, literally breath-taking. The fact that you are within walking distant of the village is a great bonus and we went in every afternoon for our daily ice cream, delicious. There's also a small playground in the village which is shaded and secure so great for the kids. The pool at the house is a great size and many happy hours were spent splashing around. There's adequate outdoor seating and a barbeque which is great in the warm evenings. Also the shutters on the windows were fantastic if you wanted a lie in. The apartments had everything you would need, washing machine, dishwasher, coffee maker etc. The owners live next door but it still felt very private and they left us alone. The have no English but were extremely friendly and went out of their way to help us when necessary. There's a great drive you can do from here (takes around 1.5 hours) that goes through San Pellegrino where the views are outstanding. There's a restaurant right across the road which does lovely takeaway pizzas. I would highly recommend this farmhouse and this region of Tuscany and can't wait to go back.

Superschöne Aussicht

Das Ferienhaus liegt direkt an der Hauptstrasse und auf einem mit Traktoren befahrenen Bauernhofes. War nicht schlimm, aber man sollte es wissen. Die Wohnungen waren sauber und in gutem Zustand. Ein paar mehr Tassen im Schrank wären nett gewesen. An allen Fenstern waren Fliegengitter, was wir sehr geschätzt haben. Von dort aus hat man eine wunderschöne Aussicht in die Apuanischen Alpen. Die Kinder hatten viel Spaß am Pool. Wir können die Unterkunft auf jeden Fall empfehlen.
