Wow, wow, wow!
This really was amazing: words can not fully describe this beautiful Tuscan, mountain-side villa with stunning views of the Mugello Valley. Where do we begin to even try to do it Justice? We were blown away by the hospitality, kindness and generosity of the delightful Italian owners. As very experienced travellers, we can safely say, they are the most accomodating hosts we have ever stayed with.
The description and the photographs, although impressive, do not do this property justice: rarely will you get a chance to stay in a rental property of this quality. Not only is it beautiful but it has every modern convenience such as: wi-fi, washing-machine and hair-dryers in every ensuite bedroom.
The property was immaculate as were the gardens: including the private garden which goes with the apartment. Even the bed-linen was beautiful: nothing had been over-looked.
We unreservedly recommend this property: it is a rare find in an incredible location, convenient to local amenities and within an hour's drive/ 50 minutes via the train (5 euros) to Florence. While here, we visited: Lucca, Siena, San Gimignano; we stayed in Venice for the night (3 1/2 hours drive); we visited quaint, friendly Tuscan villages within a short drive away; there is an outdoor swimming-pool in the town (5 minutes' drive); massage at Villa Campesteri (5 minutes' drive); we visited the Designer clothes outlet at Barberino; we went to a fantastic little lake-side beach at Lake Bilancino (stop at the beach sign for 'Bahia' (there's pedalo rides, a cafe-bar and facilities for changing and for children)); we lazed around the beautiful garden and had barbecues and Prosecco and great food: we had an incredible time!
Thank you so much to this wonderful family for making this a true Tuscan summer.
