Wir waren eine Gruppe von 10 Freunden und die Villa bot ausreichend Platz für alle von uns. Auch der Außenbereich hat unsere Erwartungen übertroffen. Den Pool und die zahlreichen Liegemöglichkeiten nutzten wir aufgrund des herbstlichen Wetters eher selten aber dafür boten der Whirlpool, die Tischtennisplatte und die Fahrräder - welche zur Unterkunft dazu sind - tolle Möglichkeiten den Spätsommer vor der Villa zu genießen. Leonardo ist ein sehr freundlicher, aufmerksamer und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber. Die Kommunikation mit ihm war super und er gab uns immer viele Empfehlungen oder Angebote für Aktivitäten. Ab und an schaute er nach uns, um sich zu vergewissern ob wir etwas bräuchten. Die Villa ist ein absolutes Highlight für große Gruppen, die eine ruhige und entspannte Zeit in der Toskana genießen wollen. ##### Anne Sophie H.

Hoch auf den Hügeln hat man fantastische Ausblicke auf die Natur und den Sonnenuntergang von der riesigen Terrasse mit alten Pflanzen oder vom ruhig und abgetrennt liegenden Pool. Man kann in größerer Gruppe Ruhe finden oder die umliegenden Dörfer mit tollen Lokalen und Kirchen oder Naturschauspiele erkunden. Die Badezimmer sind einfach, die Küche komplett eingerichtet. Das Hausinnere pittoresk und ein durchaus interessantes Sammelsurium von Antiquitäten. Leonardo und sein Team sind immer erreichbar und bemüht, Fragen und kleinere Probleme rasch zu lösen. Vielen Dank! ##### Daniel Z. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023
