Vacation time in the Tuscany Region

This VRBO and its surroundings are absolutely beautiful. The herbs growing along the wall, the olive trees and beautiful potted flowers just add to the ambiance. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful. A rental car is needed for the area.

The nicest host in Italy

What a pleasant and exceptionally helpful host Gianna is. Property is located on a small farm, you will feel part of the family. It is quite compact so really best suited for a couple. Property is ideally placed for travel around Tuscany, esp Florence, . The local train station is only a few kms away. Many thanks Gianna, we especially enjoyed the fresh eggs and Garden produce.

Lovely people and location

Gianna and her family were so welcoming, friendly and helpful and did everything possible to ensure that we were having a great holiday, from suggestions for restaurants to sights to see. Gianna was always available, but not intrusive. We enjoyed a lovely welcome pack, including a bottle of her own olive oil, wine and beer, plus essentials such as milk, butter and eggs. The garden had lovely views across the valley and to the hills beyond. The kitchen was well equipped, though without an oven which wasn't a problem for us. The spiral staircase from the living room down to the bedroom and bathroom, though quaint, may be a problem for people with mobility problems. A car is essential to get around, including to the railway station at Pontassieve [10 minutes drive and free parking] for journeys to Florence and beyond, saving the hassle of parking in town. It would also be convenient to drive to Siena, which is well worth seeing, but can also be reached by train. We found a great restaurant just off this carpark called Bastian Contirario, plus another in Pelago called Leonia Bistrot. Both reasonably priced.We would thoroughly recommend staying at La Casina with Gianna.

Amazing vacation

We had an amazing vacation in Tuscany at La Casina. The owners are very friendly and helpful. On our arrival there were groceries available so you can cook a simple pasta, perfect for when you arrive late. You can get some fresh eggs from the chickens or fresh vegetables from the garden. The house is a perfect base for a city trip to Florence. The surrounding areas are also great for cyclist. After a city trip or workout, the pool is an excellent way to cool down,

Lovely property, great location

My wife and I stayed here on a recent trip to Tuscany. The property is beautiful and quiet and you could not ask for a nicer hostess in Gianna. She gave us fresh eggs from her chickens, rustled up and adapter so we could charge our phones and answered every dumb question we asked. We picked this place because we wanted an easy way into Florence and it is perfect for that. The train station is literally five minutes away and the journey to Florence just 20 minutes. It’s also an easy drive to lots of other Tuscany attractions and hill towns. It’s an affordable family friendly atmosphere. We loved our stay.

Delightful quiet Tuscany Farm House

We will be back! Gianna and her family made us feel so welcome. Very clean, Comfortable bed, comfortable sofa! Everything is just as described and the family even shared some of their own olive oil from their orchard. Fresh eggs and vegetables at our door were so generous! The turn from the road to the driveway is hard to see but Gianna helped us find it no problem! We will miss the countryside there!

Real Toscany experience

I stayed here almost three months. If you want to see real Toscany life, this Is the place to be. Whole family was very kind and helpfull. I did not have a car and I managed very well. There are many amazing hicking paths just nearby (starting from your doorsteps) and very good public transportation to Pontassieve and Florence. If you want to know what Is Toscany life, this Is the place to be. I will certanly come back.

Wunderbar

Wir durften 10 Tage bei Gianna auf ihren Grundstück verbringen .. Sie ist eine tolle Gastgeberin hatte auch für den ersten Tag Verpflegung bereit gestellt .. Wein Spagetti, Olivenöl usw. Wir haben uns pudelwohl gefühlt .. Nur wer was gegen bellende Hunde hat( sie hat eine kleine Zucht mit etwa 20 Hunden ) für denjenigen is es vielleicht nichts.. Uns hat es überhaupt nicht gestört zumal sie ja auch täglich ins Umzäunte Freigelände dürfen.. Ein rundum toller Ort um Urlaub zu machen …

Perfekter Ort zum Herunterfahren!

Wir (2 Personen) waren für knapp 2 Wochen in dem Landhaus und haben es zu 100% genossen! Anreise: "Check-In" war problemlos, alles sehr sauber, insbesondere auch Bad und Küche, alles Wissenswerte gut vorbereitet in einem großen Ordner. Wir kamen an einem Vor-Feiertag, und Gianna - unsere Gastgeberin - hatte vorausschauend ein paar Basics zum Kochen eingekauft, weil ja die Geschäfte nicht offen haben würden - wow! Haus: der Wohn-/Essbereich ist auch der Eingangsbereich - 1 großer Raum mit Couch und Esstisch. Für unseren Aufenthalt im November ein wichtiger Raum; im Sommer wird man sicher mehr draußen sein. Nach oben geht's zur Galerie = Küche. Voll ausgestattet - lediglich einen Backofen gibt es nicht. Wir haben ausgiebig gekocht - Töpfe, Pfannen etc. waren ausreichend vorhanden. Über eine schmale Wendeltreppe geht es nach unten ins Schlafzimmer und ins Bad. Gerade bei der An-/Abreise ist es hilfreich, dass man auch von außen dort hin gelangt; im Alltag bleibt die Treppe - und die ist wirklich schmal. Wir haben sehr gut geschlafen; das Bad ist klein aber ausreichend; großzügige Schränke - damit man nicht aus dem Koffer leben muss - sind vorhanden. Umgebung: Man ist "ab vom Schuss"; wir fanden das super. Mit dem Zug ist man von Pontassieve in 20 Minuten mitten in Florenz, ansonsten mit dem Auto schnell "überall". Ausdrücklich hervorzuheben ist die Herzlichkeit der Gastgeberin Gianna. Wir haben viel über den Anbau von Oliven gelernt - vielen Dank auch dafür!
