Lovely, spacious house with a great view. Communication went without a problem. Unfortunately the house was not clean enough on arrival, but during a long stay we'd clean anyway, so all in all it was not a huge problem. The house is equipped with everything one may need for a longer stay. The house and the village is definitely not for anyone who has any issues with cobblestones, stairs, or walking up and down. There was always an empty space or two at the communal car park. Oh and once more: great views.

It was a wonderful time in this beautiful little tuskan village in the mountains. The view from the terrace is breathtaking and we soaked it up every morning for breakfast before we explored the area and at night with a colorful aperitivo and fresh food you can find all over the area in little market stands and which makes every dinner on the porch a real plesure! The children had a lot of fun exploring the villages little valleys and hidden corners- though the place might not be convenient for very small children or people with problems walking, because you need to be able to manage the steep and bumpy old stone alleys (which make the charm of the village) as well as the house´s many stairs. For us it was no problem though. The apartment is well equipped, there wasn´t anything missing- all in the nice traditional tuskan style. The people in the village were all very friendly and open (in the typical grumpy tuskan way :)) and there are a lot of events going on during the summer months- from pizza session in the little old piazza allmost behind the house to live music events in the circolo down at the edge of the village. There is a beautiful beach an hour drive away from Vellano and also many interesting places with lots of arts, food and history to be explored. Stuart, the manager of the place is a wonderful person, always helpful and providing lovely suggestions, we felt very cared for. All in all: thank you very much, it was a marvelous time in Vellano!
