We spent seven nights here and it was one of the best holidays ever! Communications from Katia from our arrival at Pisa and throughout our stay were excellent. Both her and her sister in law provided great customer service. The little cottage was warm and inviting, perfectly equiped for a self catering holiday. The furnishings reflected Tuscan style, dinning table and chairs, a comfy sofa and on the olive tree shaded terrace a bistro table and chairs along with two perfect sun loungers, just right for a relaxing al fresco lunch or dinner. There is one bedroom with a comfortable king size bed. Lastly there is a small batheroom with a great and powerfull shower (towels provided) A nice welcomming touch was the complimentary bottle of the farms own white wine! There is a large unheated swimming pool on the estate equipped with plentyful sunloungers, deckchairs and parasols. There is a bar within walking distance (5 mins) that serves great pizza (to be expected) and the nearby hilltop village of Casole d Elasa has some great restaurants, a museum and art galleries. We had a great relaxing time there and would highly recommend Agriturismo Agresto

Noce’s view from the dappled terrace is good for the soul: past the vineyard - harvested while we stayed- across the pool, and then to the wide beauties of Tuscany. Don’t expect sophistication here; it is simple easy rural living, with cheerful unobtrusive hosts, and wonderful quiet. However we were charmed by Casole d’Elsa, the nearby village, a maze of twisty streets full of art, and with a couple of seriously good restaurants. Live jazz on my birthday at Casolani restaurant, with Montepulciano in hand, was a treat! Lots of other delights are within easy reach: Volterra and Siena for stunning art and architecture of course, but lots of medieval hilltop villages of great interest too. If you’re in Colle Val d’Elsa, try the glass museum, but definitely do not miss Barbagianni, a stunningly good restaurant in the old town. We loved our stay at Noce and would recommend it to anyone wanting a simple happy cottage.

Perfect for a couple wanting a quiet relaxing holiday. Lovely pool and easy walk into Casole D’Elsa where there are a few bars and restaurants. Ideally positioned for visiting Sienna, Volterra, San Gimignano and other beautiful places. Cottage fulfilled our basic needs although the mattress was extremely hard!
