The villa was wonderful. The hosts were responsive and helpful with recommendations. You can't beat the views and the pool in the warm weather.

Beautiful villa in a stunning location with probably the best pool in the world.

Perfect villa for a midweek with friends in Tuscany. Only the WiFi doesn’t cover the entire property but it gave us time to detox near the pool.

I will start with the good things: Beautiful grounds, amazing view, Big pool, beautiful gardening and clean outdoor surroundings. The owners and care takers were very prompt to assist with the issues that came up and extremely helpful. The bad: The issue that bothered us most was the smell in the house-especially in the kitchen. Combination of mold, gas and sewage. I hated going through the kitchen not to mention cooking. The cabinets held dirty plates and utensils, which were taken care of once we mentioned it. Take in consideration if you like to cook (and we were dreaming of cooking in Tuscany) - the kitchen is very basic when it comes to accessories. The most basic I ever encountered in houses I rented. Between that and the odor-we tried to stay away from the kitchen as much as we could. Another thing you should plan is buying EVERYTHING before you get to the house. By everything I mean even sugar, salt and dishes detergent. There was not even one drop of dish detergent. Not a grain of sugar. Honestly, after renting tens of houses and apartments it seems to me very cheap and humiliating to welcome tenants that rent in thousands of dollars without the basic cleaning accessories. Another issue, if you plan to stay there in the summer - there is no AC in public areas (which we new in advance from the listing). The house was extremely hot and we couldn't open the doors because of the mosquitos. Bottom line - I'm giving 3 stars because I feel bad to give less. They were extremely nice people. However, as is - I would not go back, nor would I recommend it to a friend. You can get away with the heat and the dirty dishes, but the odor in the kitchen and other parts of the house, the small, basic, not updated kitchen-was making our stay extremely unpleasant . Hope this is helpful.
