Great place to stay in Tuscany
Everything was as promised. The photos are exactly what you get. We were a party of six adults and the accommodation was perfect for us. Everyone had their own room with ensuite. The living rooms were ample and comfortable. Pool was great and the outdoor areas brilliant. If a couple of things didn't work it hardly mattered as they were beyond what we expected anyway, and they'll probably be fixed by the time anyone else gets there. Posarelli Villas (property managers) are terrific and nothing was too much trouble for them - advice on local wineries, restaurants, where to find beaches. They even organised a chef to come in and cook dinner for us all - which was FABULOUS! The owner lives next door but he was fine. Available if needed (for emergencies - of which there were none) but kept away otherwise. We would highly recommend the villa for its ample accommodation, service and great location. Easy access to Florence (park at the station in Empoli and take the train), Tuscan hill towns (Sienna, San Gimignano, Volterra, San Miniato etc), tourist destinations (Pisa, Lucca, Vinci, Collodi) all within about an hours picturesque drive, local shops (Coop in Pozzale you can walk to, Casenuove or Empoli) and restaurants (try Sciabolino in Casenuove 10 mins away for the very best Bistecca alla Fiorentina or Ritrovino in Villanuova 10 mins the other way for genuine Tuscan specalities and great atmosphere). And don't let anyone tell you "Empoli is 'orrible"; Italians have a thing about it, but we thought it was lovely.

Excelent Villa, We really enjoyed our stay. The Villa was very clean, the sheets and blankets are new, the dishes and glasses in the kitchen are beautiful. It should have in the kitchen, a scissor and a coffee machine, the Italian coffee machine that was there, was broken. Another point is that all bathroon could have towel dryer. It is important to notice that the owner's office is in a part of the house, but it didn't bother us. And that there are some cameras in the garden. The outside is very beautiful, but we couldn't enjoy it, because it was winter time.

We were six adults and three children who stayed in the villa for a week in June/July. Everything lived up to the high expectations we had from the presentation on the web site. We absolutely loved the garden, the swimming pool, and the pool area. There are many outdoor seating options to choose from, whether you want to stay in the sun or in the shade. We particulary liked the stylish lounge area. The kitchen is spacious and very well equipped. (The only thing we missed was a whisk.) We prepared most of our meals "at home", and enjoyed them at the dining table in the outdoor kitchen area. The barbecue also worked well. The airconditioning in the bedrooms and kitchen had more than the capacity needed to keep up with outdoor temperatures above 35 degrees Celsius. (Just had to remember to switch them off while running the dishwasher or washing machine.) The wardrobes in the bedrooms don't have rails or hangers for dresses or shirts. The bedrooms were cool with comfortable beds, and everything in the stylish bathrooms were functioning well. The nearby secondary road is narrow with limited space for pedestrians. Luckily, there are quiet minor roads and paths running parallel. We enjoyed walking these to reach a couple of the local wineries for tasting. Also, the dry river bed of the Omre river was excellent for jogging. The owners were easy to reach, always very friendly and helpful. They quickly responded to every request we made, like finding open restaurants on a Monday, or removing wasp nests under construction. In the absence of a chef to prepare the in-house dinner we had booked, Nora and her daughter stepped in and served a superb four-course home made dinner that we'll never forget. The fried vegetables for the starter were by far the crispiest and lightest we've ever tasted, and the children absolutely loved it. We definitely recommend staying at Villa Nora, and we hope to come back another time.
