We wanted to rent a real old Tuscan villa with our children, grandchildren, family and friends. Already a year ago we were in love with the photos we saw of Villa Silvia, however the arrival with 12 degrees and rain in the very cold villa, was a bit disappointed. The typical Italian uninviting white (dentist) lighting did not make it more atmospheric apart from some minor defects. Now 1 month later we look back on a fantastic period that exceeded our expectations; what a beautiful villa, richly equipped with cupboards, paintings, books and other decorations and what a pleasure to sit in the large attractive garden where there is always shade and sun with a beautiful view. The Tuscan sun heated up the large pool fairly quickly and the same for the temperature in the whole house, because it was cold in the beginning. With great pleasure and gratitude we look back on a month of Villa Silvia, “a place to love”.

We spent a lovely week in Villa Silvia in August 2018 - the house is just amazing and spacious and well equipped. Silvia the owner is smiling, very nice and helpfull. Highly recommended for children because the pool is great for them as well as for adults. The house is located in calm place in private area, you do not have to be worried. With car you can easily get to small shop nearby or bigger one in town. We highly recommmend restaurant Sasso Matto (10 km) - Serena the owner is very nice, speaks very good English and their food is simply amazing - also the enviromnent around restaurant is very nice. Potencial hosts should know that owner lives in the house nearby and visit villa every day for taking your rubbish out, filling and cleaning the pool etc. My comment is that sometimes the man just appeared very suddenly (when you think you are alone...) There should be some time settled at the beggining of our stay so we knew in advance he was going to show up ... Also he filled the pool each morning when we wanted to have a shower but the water pressure was low and we did not have any water available... Even though you are on vacation be ready for waking up with owners dog barking or grass cutting from 7 a.m. We understand it was hot during the day for grass cutting but it bothered us quite a lot. There is no air conditioning in the house which means you sleep in about 30 degrees in the middle of hot summer. And the most annoying were mosquitoes. There are nets in windows, we brought some plug repellents or spray repellents but nothing stopped them - especially the children were terribly chipped from the mosquitoes. The wifi was brokend when we came - my husband repaired it. The washing machine was broken too - the technician came on Wednesday and fully repaired it on Friday - the day before we left. There are some limits, but everything is balanced by the beauty of the house. We really liked our vacation in Villa Silvia. Thank you. [counter comments from the owner] The water pression has been fixed, it wasn't filling the pool but there was a water leak which has been fixed.

Schitterende locaties een mooie villa en een mooi zwembad.
