Beautiful little cottage. Clean, comfortable and cool. Had everything we needed with a lovely friendly host on site. Convenient location from exploring.
It was a wonderful stay in a beautiful area. The house is very clean and has everything you need for your everyday life. Gianna was a very warm host. She gave us her homemade olive oil and fresh vegetables from her own garden. It was very delicious. She also had useful tips about other beautiful towns in Tuscany that aren't visited by too many tourists.We would love to return to this wonderful holiday home. I can only recommend it to everyone.Distinti saluteSarah & Sascha
We had two wonderful weeks with our dog. The hostess is already waiting for you upon arrival. Just in case you haven't had time to do your grocery shopping yet, there's already everything you need to make breakfast or pasta. Fresh vegetables from her garden are also ready for you. The cottage is authentically furnished and equipped with air conditioning, which was definitely needed. It's wonderfully peaceful, and the pool is cleaned every morning. The whole family is incredibly friendly, and the cottage was fantastic. In short, a very successful holiday, highly recommended!
We had the most wonderful stay. Every thing is there plus some extras! Bottle of wine ,oil, coffee, milk the host also gave us eggs.There was also fresh flowers a lovely touch. Gianna was so helpful telling us places to visit and restaurants to eat at. You will not find a better host she really made us feel at home. We hope that one day we will be able to return.
Our host greeted us most warmly and treated us with kindness and consideration throughout our 2 week stay.
The pool was very welcome in the warm weather and the accommodation was excellent . We had a lovely holiday .
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.
Enjoyable stay in a lovely property in a beautiful area. Very convenient for Florence and other major cities by train. Car a necessity. Very friendly host and family who couldnât do enough for us . Highly recommended.
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.
We enjoyed our stay very much. Gianna and her family were such great hosts and lovely people. The accommodations were so quaint and cute. I would highly recommend!! Grazie, grazie! Until next time!đźđčđšđŠ
This property is just fantastic, with a very helpful and generous owner/family. I could not recommend this property highly enough. Great location for the local train station with free parking 20 mins trip into Florence. We had a fabulous stay and would definitely go again. Grazie mille Gianna
Our stay was absolutely wonderful. Our host Gianna was welcoming and so l accommodating ! Gianna had a bottle of Vine and pasta, coffee, milk, water and brought us fresh eggs from her chickens and lettuce from her garden. The property is beautiful! Our stay in Tuscany was all we could of hoped for and more! Thank you fir everything Gianna and family!
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.
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,
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. Itâs also an easy drive to lots of other Tuscany attractions and hill towns. Itâs an affordable family friendly atmosphere. We loved our stay.
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!
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.
Das Ferienhaus ist eine absolute Empfehlung. Wir waren 10 Tage mit unserem kleinen Hund dort und haben die Zeit sehr genossen. Es war ruhig und gemĂŒtlich alles ist sehr gepflegt. Zur BegrĂŒĂung gab es Verpflegung fĂŒr den ersten Tag und andere Aufmerksamkeiten. Alles ist sehr liebevoll hergerichtet. Der Garten war fĂŒr unseren Hund super und die Gastgeberin sowie ihre Familie waren immer freundlich und haben sich erkundigt ob wir etwas benötigen. Sie konnten uns gute Tipps geben was wir in der Umgebung unternehmen können. Der Pool war toll und viel gröĂer als wir anhand der Fotos vermutet hatten. Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit!
Unser Aufenthalt war einfach traumhaft. Gianna und ihre Familie waren super freundlich und zuvorkommend. Wir haben sogar regelmĂ€Ăig frisches GemĂŒse aus dem Garten bekommen und auch unser Hund wurde total herzlich empfangen. Sowohl das Haus, als auch der Garten Pool waren sehr sauber und gepflegt. AuĂerdem haben wir tolle Empfehlungen fĂŒr AusflĂŒge & Essen bekommen. Wir hĂ€tten uns den Urlaub kaum schöner vorstellen können und wĂŒrden jeder Zeit wieder buchen.
wir haben uns sehr wohl gefĂŒhlt. Das Haus war genauso wie beschrieben. Es war sehr sauber und alles da was benötigt wurde. Die Gastgeber waren sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend.
Dans 'La Casina' vous passerez des bon moment, comme etre dans dans votre maison, vous pouvez asseoir dans la paix et la pleine intimitĂš, sachant qui vous avez toujours quelqu'un prĂšs vous qui peu aider vous, et donner informations et conseilles sur la Toscaine et l'Italie.
