It doesn't get any better than this.
Wow. If I could click 10 stars for a review I would. What a fantastic stay with super fantastic people. Our visit was at the end of March and it was beautiful. I can't imagine how beautiful this place would be later in the year. As for the hosts..... they could not have been more friendly and accommodating. They made us feel more like family then guests. I recommend 100% anytime of the year. Not to mention... there is not a more beautiful part of Tuscany.

We will definitely be back, and look forward to seeing Johns new Powerboat 🙄

Real Tuscany
Great location in rural Tuscany. Stayed for 10 nights. Getting out every day to visit Tuscany takes time, roads are not the best, but the views are breathtaking. Have patience going down the unpaved road, looks ugly first time, but for a convertible with aft wheels drive it made no problem. We found wirst roads in many places. Beautiful place to stay, quiet. And the hosts....great people, exceptional. They tell you anything you need to know. Verry rare to find such friendly hosts while having entire privacy. A place to return many times. Thanks John an Dianna for the excellent vacation we had

So wie beschrieben
Genauso haben wit uns es vorgestellt. Ruhig, einsam und traumhaft schön.
Dianne und John sind sehr aufmerksam und fürsorglich, und nie aufdringlich.
Es war ein rundum gelungener und wunderschöner Urlaub.

gemütlicher Sommerausklang
wir waren Mitte/Ende September zu Gast bei John & Dianne und haben es sehr genoßen!
Das Cottage liegt sehr abgeschieden mitten in der Natur, der Ausblick ist atemberaubend!
Auf dem Grundstück der Gastgeber gibt es viel Platz und genügend Privatsphäre, aber es ist dennoch immer schön den beiden zu begegnen.
Wir freuen uns schon auf unseren nächsten Urlaub in Arezzo :-)

Gastfreundschaft
Wir kommen aus der Altmark und gehören zur "älteren" Generation. Nach einer langen Anfahrt holt uns John mit seinem SUV beim Straßenschild, das in die Richtung San Biagio weist, ab. Dianna empfängt uns und geleitet uns zum Ferienhaus. Ein schönes Anwesen. Nützlich und mit Kunstverständnis eingerichtet. Bewegend so. Erregend die Details. Wir fühlten uns sofort wohl. Ein Platz zum Ausspannen und Erholen von den Unwegsamkeiten des Lebens. Besonders für die, die Ruhe und die Natur mögen. An die Zeit bei Dianna und John werden wir uns gern erinnern.
