Fabulous

Livia was extremely helpful in making the holiday a success , well supported by Patrizia her housekeeper. The house is amazing given its location such a short walk for the centre of Cetona, a fabulous garden and pool and such an interesting property. Lovely and relaxing we didn’t need to move far with local restaurants, food shops and Saturday market within easy walking distance in Cetona.

This property is amazing!!!

Beautifully presented, spotless, with a stylish, relaxed and welcoming feel. This is truly a unique property, in a special location, offered by the perfect host. We stayed in this home for the month of November, mixing work with pleasure. The views are incredible and the broadband is extremely fast and reliable. The house is organised over several floors, with a bedroom and bathroom on each level. Being only 2 of us (+ dog), we mainly used the ground and 1st floor. The bedroom was spacious and the bed was very large and very comfortable. There was plenty of closet space/storage too. The bathroom has a large walk-in shower (great water pressure), a deep separate tub, another window…and another view! This property, feels more like a “home”rather than a rental property; full of warmth and personal touches, books and art. Even the kitchen has been carefully considered, and is perfectly stocked with everything you could possibly need. Absolutely everything! The beautiful terrace can be accessed from the kitchen and the lounge. It has plenty of seating and dining space and overlooks the large garden and beyond. Just stunning! Being November, we didn’t use the swimming pool, but we’d regularly journey down the steps, pass the olive & fruit trees, the second terrace, then down to the pool and the flat grassy area. There are over 100 steps, but the journey is enjoyable and the dog loved this morning run around! So much space! Cetona centre is just a 10 minute uphill walk. It is a lovely town with a large piazza. The people are friendly, generous, and kind. We ate at most of the restaurants, wine bar, pizzeria and cafe. All were very dog friendly! All of the food, wine and coffee was excellent. I mean really excellent! As was the local bakery, and deli. The host, Livia, was extremely helpful, very quick to respond and quick to offer help and advice. She went above and beyond to ensure we found some of the local walks and was generous with her time, information and assistance. We really can’t thank her enough for making our time in Cetona just perfect! After spending only a month in this property, we have truly fallen in love with this home, and with Cetona itself. We hope to return very soon!

Beautiful property in the Italian countryside

We really enjoyed our stay at Livia's villa. She and Patrizia were extremely responsive and helpful to our requests and went above and beyond to ensure we felt at home. The property was gorgeous and it really felt like we were emerced in the town itself, as it's central to everything and the local shops and restaurants are easily walkable. The bedrooms are spacious and the beds were extremely comfortable - but it's important to point out that all bedrooms do require a stair climb (something I wasn't sure I totally realized prior to booking). They being said, the stairs were pretty easy to navigate and my 82 year old father in law did so without any problems. Highly recommend this VRBO - you literally could not ask for a better host!

About the host

Why they chose this property

Because it is a spectacular part of Tuscany. Because of it's unique location, completely immersed in the countryside and so close to the village. Because the house is lovely and unusual: a 14th century house, with one bedroom, bathroom and closets on each floor, and a large living room on the ground floor.

What makes this property unique

The proximity to the village allowed my children to grow up here free to come and go by themselves, enjoy an ice cream in the village square or a tennis match. As for myself, "Ombra's house" is and ideal "writer's retreat", secluded by not isolated, and if I don't feel like driving, I can forget the car for a whole week. There are very few things sweeter that coming back from a dinner in the village at night, and walk home under the stars, in total safety and beauty.
The proximity of my two housekeepers make also life easier. On request, they clean, wash, iron, cook for you and they also provide fresh vegetables from their vegetables gardens.
The house terraced garden with olive grove leads to the swimming pool area. Mind that there are many steps: stairs both to reach the bedrooms and to go to the pool. A terrace shaded with vines an wisteria offers a place to eat, with wonderful views over the Val di Chiana and Città della Pieve.
