The property sits in a very quiet area off the local roads accessed by a mile or so of gravel track. The owner Loredana, has been hosting for 25 years and has created a very comfortable apartment next door to her family home. The gardens are peaceful, packed with pomegranate, pear, apple and olive. The two dogs, the chickens and cats are friendly without invading your peace and quiet. The pool was great and just what we needed after the day trips. We arrived in the middle of a heatwave with temperatures up to 40 degrees. Despite this and with careful instruction, the old building remained cool enough without air conditioning to get a good night’s sleep. Centrally located we visited Lucca, San Gimignano, Sienna and Vinci. We shopped at the local grocery store in Corazzano and at Lidl in Castelfiorentino. We tended to eat out at lunch time and eat at the apartment at night. The only local meal we had was at Casa Lucullo about 3 miles away; excellent food and the only English family amongst many, many Italian families. We are a family of four; 50-something parents with 21,18 and 15 year old daughters. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would highly recommend this property for its relaxing nature and central location. Things we didn’t do that are local options are wine tasting very close at hand and cycle hire in Castelfiorentino.

We had a great time here and Loredana is a great host. Relaxing house and clean rooms with nice pool and outdoor seating areas.

My wife and two kids had a lovely stay with Loredana and Massimo at their farm. It was exactly as expected. The pool was clean and plenty big enough for us. We went swimming in the pool at least twice a day, we are food grown at the farm, our kids fed the chickens and played with the two black labradors, we barbecued and drank good wine, and we explored nearby towns and cities as we pleased. A fantastic rustic Tuscan getaway to unplug.

We had great holidays! Everything was perfect for us and our 2 children.
