A lovely fortnight spent here in the first two weeks of June. The property is charming, the pool sublime and the views of the valley are truly wonderful. We were fortunate to visit during the 2/3 weeks that the Tuscan fireflies emerge and they are a sight to behold, quite spectacular. The property is perfectly suited for visiting Florence, Assisi and Azzero. The owners were excellent hosts and made us feel very welcome throughout, and Maya the dog was very friendly and enjoyed the company of our 1 year old. Highly recommend.

If ever your heart longs for an iconic Tuscan getaway, La Calla will fill your every dream. From arrival, my wife and I were greeted by Lulu, Luca and Maya, our hosts well mannered family dog. The privacy of the house, property & grounds were more than described with very clean and comfortable beds & bathrooms (w oh so quiet AC), a well appointed kitchen (we love to cook), the best swimming pool ever & stunning views in all directions.Our host couple foraged in the local mountains and gave us some precious porcini mushrooms. Delicious. We told Lulu we were interested in visiting an olive press farm down the road and she called ahead. We we happened to make a visit the proprietor welcomed us and gave us a tour of her oil press. We happily bought 4 bottles that we brought home with us. So spicy and delicious.This is a multi-generational compound. While we were there the grandfather harvested grapes from his vineyard and then processed them, de-stemming the clusters, pressing the grapes and pumping the juice into a vat to begin the fermentation process. He was very gracious to allow us to watch. The location made for easy drives to Anghiari, Cortona, Siana, Sansepolcro (huge grocery store), Orvieto, Arezzo and may other nearby Tuscan & Umbrian towns. That being said, above all else the amazing quiet, serenity and views with our morning coffee. All this and 9 hours sleep every night!Needless to say, we loved our visit and would love to do it all again!

My sisters and I have agreed that this actually was our dream holiday come true at La Calla. We had high expectations and were used to having to adjust but La Calla was everything we had hoped for and more. The cottage/villa was comfortable, warm and welcoming. Full of character and beautifully decorated it felt less like an impersonal vacation villa and more our long-lost family home in Tuscany. The area is green and lush with endless rolling hills. We had expected to drive to all the surrounding hill towns but found ourselves draped around the spectacular pool area entirely satisfied and not needing to go anywhere. We had found our dream spot. We were very sad to say goodbye. Maya, the household dog, is often mentioned in the reviews. We now know why. She was our own personal bundle of unconditional love -- the holiday bonus you did not know you needed! Lulu was our gracious host who lives in the villa next door. She manages to be invisible but magically available if and when you need her. She spoilt us with trays of delicious fresh vegetables from her resplendent garden. We all came away feeling very lucky and somewhat blessed. Many thanks to Lulu for helping to make this sisterly reunion a dream come true. Apologies for all the gushing...

During our three week trip to Italy, we were fortunate to have stayed at this beautiful property for nine days. It was the perfect accommodation and location for the six of us. Lulu and Luca are wonderful hosts. Lulu greeted us and gave us a tour of the property and provided helpful information about the area. They were always available to answer questions and even made us a dinner reservation in town. We loved their friendly and well-behaved dog, Maya. She was especially good with our children and helped keep them entertained during our stay! The house itself is spacious, clean, and comfortably updated, while maintaining all of its Tuscan charm. While we loved the home itself, we chose to spend most of our time in all of the amazing outdoor spaces. The views are astonishing from every angle. There are lovely outdoor eating areas where we enjoyed many memorable meals. The kitchen had everything we needed to showcase the local ingredients we purchased in Anghiari, alongside fresh vegetables generously shared from Lulu’s garden. The pictures of the infinity pool don’t begin to do it justice. The pool and views of the valley have to be seen in person to really be believed. We all enjoyed countless hours in the pool. It was a great way to relax in between the times we were exploring the area. The property is very well situated. We loved Anghiari and visited many surrounding towns in Tuscany and Umbria. Sincerest thanks to Lulu and Luca for an incredible stay!
