    ““An excellent week"

    We are a Swedish group of watercolour artists, which spent a very nice and memorable week at this beautiful and genuine wine & olive farmhouse from 1645!

    The farmhouse, with its genuine and ancient atmosphere, is well kept and newly restored, with nice and fresh rooms with comfortable beds and fresh bathrooms. The modern kitchen gave us sufficient place to cook and the large kitchen table had good space for meals and meetings. We also liked the nicely furnished living rooms - one of which with a huge, ancient wood fire place. The house is beautifully surrounded by wine plants and olive trees and a garden with shading trees and beautiful flowers.

    During this week we spent much time both inside and outside the house and in its lovely garden. The entire place is very well suited for painting, relaxing and playing!

    We recommend that you make your first drive here in daylight conditions, because the last part of the municipal road is narrow and winding. Due to an earlier heavy rainfall, the private road up to the property was unfortunately in a poor shape.

    We much appreciated the very friendly, service-minded and pleasant host family, which lives quite nearby. We can give our best recommendations for a nice, calm and interesting stay at this beautiful place!”

    “Wunderschönes Haus in wunderschöner Landschaft! Wir waren mit acht Personen in diesem so individuellen Haus und hatten mehr als genug Platz. Alles, was man braucht, ist vorhanden. Die Kinder konnten in Pool und Garten toben. Die Erwachsenen genossen den weitläufigen Blick, die Ruhe und Abgeschiedenheit. Alltag und Stress sind hier sofort weit weg. Die sehr sehr nette Gastgeberfamilie bereitete ein herzliches Willkommen, gab tolle Empfehlungen für Unternehmungen, Einkauf oder Essen und lud zu Olivenöltour, Weinprobe oder Honigherstellung ein. Der Garten ist eine Oase aus Blumen und Kräutern. Florenz und andere schöne Orte der Toskana sind mit Auto oder Zug gut erreichbar. Wir haben uns großartig erholt und würden wiederkommen! Danke Nanette und Tommaso für diese wunderbaren Ferien!”
