Lovely apartment in unspoilt village with very helpful owner
We loved the apartment, quirky and interesting decor, very comfortable and clean with a lovely terrace overlooking the village.
Loro Ciuffenna is an old pretty little village with a couple of restaurants (fine for a three day stay) and small shops for food and hardware items if you happen to need them. No supermarket that we found but we didn't need it, we preferred the little shops in the village. There is a massive Coop 10kms down the road in Montevarchi if you need a big shop. There was a free concert in the village square on two of our three nights there in early August with a great communal atmosphere.
The apartment is just as described and we were very comfortable and pleased with our choice. The only thing I'd say is that I wouldn't want to cook a big meal there, the kitchen is quite small, but more than fine for a couple of days.
There is a river that runs through the village and you can walk a little way to the 'torrentes' to swim and lie on the rocks. It's really not a huge amount of water but you can get cool!
The owner Pietro was exceptionally helpful, he replied to any questions rapidly and gave as all the details we needed beforehand. Although he couldn't meet us when we arrived he arranged for his father to meet us and show us the apartment and help us with bags.
It was very hot (more than 40 deg every day) but inside the apartment was pretty cool even in the middle of the day. We just chilled!
