Exclusive villa near Vinci in private grounds with amazing views and great pool
Beautiful villa built to very high standards with plenty of space for families or friends ideally between 7 and 12 persons. The property is set in 3 hectares of grounds with mainly ancient olive trees. Large open air spaces with swimming pool and cooking and barbecue facilities for relaxing "al fresco" living. On the gentle Montalbano hills near Leonardo Da Vinci's birth place in the middle of a secular olive grove.
Our group of 9 thoroughly enjoyed staying at this property, and interacting with the excellent host. It was a beautiful base for relaxation, and day trips to other destinations.
We rented a villa in Lamporecchio â Vinci in week 32 via VRBO. Booking was easy. The house was clean and ready for 6 adults and 4 children. Itâs located on a steep plot, making it unsuitable for ball games. The house is split into two apartments without a shared entrance; only half is rented, as the host lives in the other part. This should be clearly stated in the listing.The pool area was great and clean. The outdoor kitchen worked but was worn and needs upgrading. Sunbeds, chairs, and parasols were of poor quality and broke during use. The host replaced parasols when asked. A playground was listed but no longer existsâonly an old swing set. Photos showed a terrace with a view, but it belongs to the host and isnât accessible.Furniture and kitchenware were outdated. Kitchens need renovation, and several fridges didnât work. Kitchen items were incomplete and inconsistent.Suggestions:â Clearly state hostâs presence and rental scope.â Remove or update misleading photos.â Replace broken furniture, parasols, and appliances.â Provide complete, matching kitchenware.â Renovate both indoor and outdoor kitchens.â Restore or remove mention of the playground.Overall, the place was clean, and we had a good holiday.
Everything was perfect, the area, the house and Natalia who was very nice, helpful and informational. All these contributed to our family having a very pleasant stay.
Thank you!!!
We where two families in total of 10 people. The villa has a remarkable view and pool area with outdoor kitchen. A table big enough for all of us to sit next to the poolarea and eat breakfast/dinner. The way up to Olive Tree Suites was a bit tricky with narrow turns. I would recommend to arrive if possible when its light outside. At least the first time. We had a great vacation.
The spaces are great for larger groups to have space away and privacy for breaks. The pool and outdoor dining area was amazing. As expected, water pressure in these older homes can be inconsistent, but was not a problem. The home is a bit away from major highways, so day trips were a little more local driving, but didnât limit us. Host family is nearby for support, but non intrusive and very accommodating. We had a wonderful dinner prepared our final night and everything was very hospitable.
We had a very nice week in the villa. We did different trips every day but had nice mornings and evenings in the pool area. We used the cooking area for cooking and barbequing. The first days were quite cool, also inside the house. But the weather become better for each day.
What a DISAPPOINTMENT. We seriously considered formally complaining & searching for a suitable alternative but this was prevented by the lack of reliable/sometimes non-existent Wifi, as well as the logistical nightmare of finding & making a last minute booking in the vicinity. After 30 hours travel from Australia we reluctantly decided to stay, the only saving grace being the pool & adjoining outdoor entertainment/kitchen but even there only the freezer section of the fridge worked. To sum up, the property is TIRED/NEGLECTED & the website omitting or misleading including:- The last 2 klm of access to the villa is via a steep, narrow, winding, rough road culminating in a tight parking area & turning circle- The âvillaâ building comprises 3 semi-detached self-contained dwellings under 1 roof. One dwelling (approx 1/3 of the building & grounds) is occupied by the undisclosed resident host - The website lead photo (balcony with the view of the Tuscan valley) is attached to the hostâs private dwelling NOT accessible to guests - Air con is not available to all guest areas but limited to 2 of 4 brms in the main guest dwelling & kitchen in a separate semi-detached guest dwelling. Instead pedestal fans only are available - no insect screens on windows or doors- All bed mattresses are decades old âlumpyâ or sagging inner-spring or thin foam & pillows old thin & saggy- 2 small TVâs donât work.- After a week, host provided a replacement Wifi modem with limited range
Vi var 3 generationer bestÄende af 10 personer i alt.
Alt fungerede perfekt under vores ophold pÄ olivengÄrden herunder stor og lÊkker pool med tilhÞrende grill og kÞkkenfaciliteter, hvor vi opholdt os det meste af tiden.
Vi blev mĂždt med stor og venlig hjĂŠlpsomhed fra vĂŠrtsparrets
side, som ogsÄ bidrog med gode rÄd og ideer under opholdet.
9 adults had a great week in Tuscany with Olive tree suites as a base. Nice spacious house with a really good pool and outdoor kitchen area. Thanks to Natalia that was very friendly, helpful and made us feel very welcome. Only negative was 2 bedrooms without AC.
Wir waren drei ganze Wochen in Lamporecchio und haben es sehr genossen. Nach der etwas beschwerlichen Auffahrt kommt man in ein tolles Haus und ein sehr groĂes GrundstĂŒck mit vielen alten OlivenbĂ€umen. Die Aussicht ist am besten von der dritten Ebene, auf der sich der tolle Pool, ein groĂer ĂŒberdachter Essbereich, Liegen und die wunderbare AuĂenkĂŒche befinden. Der Pool ist riesig, es fĂŒhrt eine breite bequeme Treppe hinein und es gibt ein extra Kinderplanschbecken.
Auf der zweiten Ebene gibt es ein Schlafzimmer mit drei Betten (mit mobilem KlimagerĂ€t), einem Bad und eine groĂe KĂŒche mit Sofa und Tisch und eine Terrasse. Hier wie auch auf allen anderen Etagen gibt es hervorragende KĂŒhlschrĂ€nke.
Auf der untersten Ebene steht der Teil des Hauses mit den meisten Zimmern. Im Erdgeschoss ein Doppelzimmer mit Bad sowie ein Zimmer mit vier SchlafplĂ€tzen (zwei und zwei getrennt durch einen Vorhang und drei Stufen), ebenfalls mit eigenem Bad und KĂŒche. Im oberen Stockwerk liegt ein Kinderzimmer fĂŒr zwei sowie ein weiteres Doppelzimmer. Diese beiden Zimmer teilen sich ein Bad. Im oberen Stock gibt es keine Klimaanlage, allerdings kann man im Doppelzimmer nachts querlĂŒften. Das Kinderzimmer ist nur schwer lĂŒftbar und bei hohen Temperaturen zu warm. DafĂŒr sind die Zimmer in der unteren Etage mit sehr guten, modernen Klimaanlagen ausgestattet, so dass wir mit unseren Kindern am Ende in dem Viererzimmer geschlafen und auf das Kinderzimmer verzichtet haben. FĂŒr alle nicht klimatisierten Bereiche stehen Ventilatoren bereit.
Unten gibt es noch ein groĂes Esszimmer, die Sauna und den Sportraum. Die Sauna hat eine sehr schöne groĂe Dusche, die anderen BĂ€der sind eher klein. In der gesamten Anlage herrscht ein sehr guter Wasserdruck.
MĂŒcken gibt es hier leider viele, elektrische MĂŒckenstecker werden gestellt. Die Zimmer, BĂ€der und Terrassen werden wöchentlich gereinigt und auch die BettwĂ€sche gewechselt. Eine Waschmaschine fĂŒr die eigene WĂ€sche ist vorhanden, ebenso BĂŒgeleisen und Fön sowie BadetĂŒcher am Pool.
Wichtig: Das GelĂ€nde ist nicht geeignet fĂŒr Menschen mit FuĂ- oder Knieproblemen, alle drei Ebenen sind mit einem recht steilen Weg verbunden. FĂŒr Internet-Junkies wie uns: Wlan gibt es nicht im Haus, wir erhielten aber als Ersatz einen stationĂ€ren LTE-Router. Die Besitzerin Natalia lebt unterhalb des unteren Hauses auf dem GrundstĂŒck â sie ist sehr diskret und in jeder Beziehung hilfreich. Jedes kleine Problem wurde umgehend gelöst, vielen Dank dafĂŒr!
La casa Ăš davvero bellissima e molto grande, noi eravamo in 8 ma ci stanno comodamente 10 o 12 persone. Io ho soggiornato con mia moglie e mio figlio di 1 mese in una parte della casa separata con tutti i comfort: cucina, camera da letto, sala e terrazzo ampio molto comodo per addormentare il pupo nel passeggino.
Ci sono 3 cucine di cui una a ridosso della piscina con un super camino dove abbiamo grigliato con grande soddisfazione. Ci sono 3 grandi frigoriferi davvero ottimi per quando si Ăš in tanti e fantastici per fare il ghiaccio.
Siamo stati praticamente sempre nella zona piscina immersi negli ulivi e con una vista mozzafiato sulla Toscana. La zona cucina Ăš vicina alla piscina ed ha un'ottima copertura che mi ha permesso di stare all'aperto anche con il neonato.
L'accoglienza e la cortesia dei proprietari Ăš stata una chicca in piĂč che ha reso il nostro soggiorno indimenticabile. La casa ha anche una sauna che ci ha permesso di rilassarci ancor di piĂč.
Wir waren mit 11 Freund:innen in diesem wunderschönen Haus. Der Pool und die Aussicht sind fantastisch. Es waren genug Betten fĂŒr alle da und die Vermieterin war wirklich toll. Sehr hilfsbereit wenn wir fragen hatten und sonst wirklich unauffĂ€llig. Ich kann nur jedem und jeder empfehlen hier Urlaub zu machen. Egal ob man einfach relaxen will oder ein bisschen mit den Freund:innen feiern mag. An die Auf- bzw. Abfahrt muss man sich etwas gewöhnen, aber das sollte kein Problem darstellen. Wir kommen gerne wieder.
