Amazing property. It doesn’t get better

This was the best, most lovely and most beautiful place you can imagine! We were a family with 6 adults and four children. Grandparents with children and grandchildren. They all loved it! We had a wonderful time in the house, fantastic garden and pool!The wonderful owner of the house is such a lovely lady. Thank you for this moment in life. Sabine with family from Sweden

Casale Tagliafune is an absolutely breathtaking home in a stunningly beautiful location. Our 3-generation family enjoyed every minute of our stay, from the cypress-lined drive to the stunning views, from the amazing pool to the dreamy bedding. This was an wonderful spot from which to explore Tuscany…. Or to just stay and enjoy the house. Lordana was a lovely host and made us feel welcome right away. We had an incredible week and highly recommend everything about this home.

The property is beautiful and in that way matched expectations. The host, Loredana, is wonderful. Easy to get into Florence, just a twenty minute drive to the parking lot at Costanza and a quick tram ride in. Unfortunately, the week we stayed the temperatures were 95 - 100 degrees every day, cooling down to the low 70s at night. The villa is made of stone and thus it retained the heat. The villa has no air conditioning and the first floor interior temperatures reached the low 80s during the day. The second floor, where the bedrooms are, was even warmer. We kept the windows closed during the day and kept the lights off to try and keep it cool. Around 8:30pm we opened the second floor windows to begin to get some cooler air in; this helped, but it took several hours to get down to the low seventies....and, mosquitoes had a field day on arms and legs. Again, the property is lovely, but given the weekly cost I would have expected the host to have several portable wheeled air conditioning units available to help keep the indoor temperatures, especially for sleeping at night, bearable. Electricity costs for the week are passed on to the renters anyway (98 euro for our week....seems high given we used lighting very little?), so increased electrical consumption wouldn't adversely affect the host. I very rarely post anything other than positive reviews, but wanted to present the possible challenging conditions you might encounter if you are considering booking in summer.
