Great holiday!
Perfect apartment in beautiful location. Stunning pool with vieews across to Volterra. Minor problem with the plumbing that was sorted out immediately. Apartment is bigger than the photos suggest - the ceiling is at least 10 feet high. Aparfment very well equipped.

Over the top!
This was our 2nd visit to this property and it did not disappoint. All the charm we had remembered from previous time was still there- bar a little hiccup in the weather on the first week - no one could do anything about that. Quiet surroundings, beautiful views, comfortable accommodation and a lovely pool. Altogether wonderful though definitely not the place for anyone with walking difficulties ( which we did not have) !! Splendid restaurant up the road at Il Castagno.

Beautiful surroundings and close to some awesome experiences. Car is essential.
This apartment was reasonably well equipped but could have used some more essentials like a cutting board. I am further always shocked by these costly rentals that only supply you with one or two rolls of toilet paper?? Even the cheapest motel supplies it for many days. Fridge was too small considering my wife and I love to cook and sourced out lots of local ingredients. Pool was fantastic! Bed was comfy and the place was clean however upon arrival we were greeted with an ant infestation. The manager quickly supplied ant spray which we did employ daily. Overall it was a beautiful place to stay but you certainly do require a car to get around.

Clean, beautiful property with beautiful views from the terrace & amazing pool
The apartment was ideal for two, in a beautiful, peaceful location. My daughter and I had a wonderfully relaxing time. We spent much of our time beside & in the lovely swimming pool. The apartment is also a good base for visiting local towns and villages from. Galina was very helpful and provided good information about the local area. Thank You! One day I would hope to return .

We weren't quite sure what to expect but when we arrived we found Il fico and its position charming.
Il Fico well equipped - air con a bonus - views stunning, very quiet and the shady bower much appreciated. Our hosts and their friend who welcomed us were helpful - especially when there was a power cut. We were able to explore some of the lesser(but no less lovely ) places nearby- Certaldo well worth a visit. Pool was a delight, especially to sit by at night. We could also have sat on our doorstep all day watching the butterflies and bees on the lavender. Interesting to see the hummingbird hawkmoth. We would recommend Il Mummiala without hesitation to the more discerning of our friends .

We love Il Fico
Second time we have visited Il Fico, in Tuscany. Annemie and i have stayed here for 2 weeks, and we love it even more then last year. Il Fico is privately owned, and is for 2 to 4 persons. The apartment next door (also 2 to 4 persons) is privately owned by the brother of Galina, so if you visit with friends like we did, and you need some more space, you can ask Galina to check availability of the other apartment for you. This place is wonderfull, we love the environment, the spectacular views up to Volterra which is more than 20 kilometers away. The swimming pool is unique / photo's say more than words! This year we have discovered some extra restaurants, we have visited San Gimignano (20min), Firenze (1hour), Lucca (1h15min), and tasted some great Chianti-wines. Love Tuscany, and definitely will be back at Il Fico. Gunther & Annemie

Casa il Fica
Casa Il Fica was lovely. It was very clean and cozy, and it was well supplied with all the items we needed. The grounds were immaculate, and the pool was amazing. We hated to leave. The owner provided us with excellent directions and information about the surrounding points of interest.

Erholsamer Urlaub in der Toskana
Romantisches Feriendorf in der Toskana über einen Schotterweg zu erreichen. Der Check-in,Dank der sehr hilfsbereiten Olga, lief reibungslos. Das Apartment ist geräumig und gut eingerichtet. Die Betten sind bequem und wir konnten während unseres dreiwöchigen Urlaubs sehr gut schlafen. Gerne haben wir unsere Zeit auf der kleinen Terrasse unter dem Feigenbaum verbracht. Traumhafter Natursteinpool mit Blick in die toskanische Landschaft. Ein Traum zu jeder Tageszeit. In der Umgebung gibt es viele Restaurants. Wir können das Apartment wärmstens weiter empfehlen und ein zweiter Urlaub in diesem Objekt ist nicht ausgeschlossen. Vielen lieben Dank und schöne Grüße von Nicole und René aus Berlin.
