Wonderful traditional Tuscan experience
We (2 parents and 4 adult children) had an exceptional holiday at the Meriggio Barn. The house is a wonderful family home, superbly well equipped and extremely comfortable and spacious. The air conditioning is excellent on hot evenings to cool the bedrooms. Communications with the della Santa family were extremely courteous and professional - they responded instantly to any minor problem we had and were very efficient at replacing the WiFi router which had developed a fault. We just loved the house - it is full of character - so much more appealing than some anonymous holiday villas we have rented over the years. It sits in a small cluster of houses and yet is very private. This was a relaxing holiday for us so we tended to spend our time by the pool with occasional outings towards Lucca (25 mins drive). Each morning we went to an excellent bread shop for breakfast goodies (5mins drive) and in the evenings went to the town of Montecarlo (again 5min drive) which offered an amazing selection of restaurants and also to a great spaghetteria in Alto Pascio. The house overlooks lovely Tuscan countryside but it is very accessible from the Pisa Florence motorway and the supermarket (Esselunga - excellent opening hours) was around 15mins drive.
The Meriggio Barn experience was fabulous and we would love to return some time - we would not hesitate to recommend the property to others - you will not be disappointed.
