Villa stupenda, da migliorare la pulizia e sostituzione dei forni elettrici (uno non funzionante l'altro non saliva a temperatura e quindi non cuoceva). Beatrice (persona addetta all'accoglienza) molto disponibile .

belle demeure Toscane très rustique
La villa a beaucoup de cachet. elle est très grande ( 6 chambres , 6 sdb et 5 salons!) le cadre est tres agreable. Mais il y a un manque d’entretien, problème de siphon et d’odeur dans 2 sdb. Plantes en pot assoiffées.Déjections de souris dans les placards de la cuisine, dans la vaisselle.

Review for stay from 17 June 2023 to 24 June 2023
The property is so beautiful and we loved the pool and the outdoor eating areas. The rooms were beautiful and the bathrooms are all updated and lovely. My only negative comment is that given how expensive the house is we were expecting to have soaps, hand soaps, toilet paper, shower gels, etc. I also suggest ensuring your guests have cleaning supplies in the kitchen and more than 2 dish towels. Additionally, laundry detergent for the laundry room. These seem like pretty basic things. We rent homes and villas when we travel and are accustomed to having these be well stocked wherever we rent. This was the only disappointment.

Ideal for large group but needs attention and updating.
Generally okay but a bit of a hotch potch of unmatched crockery and glasses. No shaker to make cocktails, airconditioning units not working, bulbs missing or not working and often no hot water. Lots of trip hazards. Housekeeper very pleasant but we were a bit disappointed.
