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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
Wirklich tolle Unterkunft mit sehr liebenswerter Gastgeberin. Wir waren super zufrieden und haben sogar Salat aus dem eigenen GemĂŒsegarten bekommen. Bei Ankunft lag alles da fĂŒr ein Abendessen und sogar eine Flasche Chianti. Den Pool hatten wir ganz fĂŒr uns, der Garten ist wunderschön! Sehr empfehlenswert!
Wir durften 10 Tage bei Gianna auf ihren GrundstĂŒck verbringen ..
Sie ist eine tolle Gastgeberin hatte auch fĂŒr den ersten Tag Verpflegung bereit gestellt .. Wein Spagetti, Olivenöl usw.
Wir haben uns pudelwohl gefĂŒhlt .. Nur wer was gegen bellende Hunde hat( sie hat eine kleine Zucht mit etwa 20 Hunden ) fĂŒr denjenigen is es vielleicht nichts.. Uns hat es ĂŒberhaupt nicht gestört zumal sie ja auch tĂ€glich ins UmzĂ€unte FreigelĂ€nde dĂŒrfen..
Ein rundum toller Ort um Urlaub zu machen âŠ
Wir haben Gianna und ihre Familie in der Vorsaison besucht. Toll, mit wieviel Hingabe und Liebe der Hof gepflegt wird. Das Appartement hat Alles was man braucht. Dank der wunderschönen Umgebung macht sich sofort Urlaubs-Feeling breit. Gianna und ihre Familie ist immer ansprechbar und hilfsbereit. Wir kommen gerne wieder.
Wir (2 Personen) waren fĂŒr knapp 2 Wochen in dem Landhaus und haben es zu 100% genossen!
Anreise: "Check-In" war problemlos, alles sehr sauber, insbesondere auch Bad und KĂŒche, alles Wissenswerte gut vorbereitet in einem groĂen Ordner. Wir kamen an einem Vor-Feiertag, und Gianna - unsere Gastgeberin - hatte vorausschauend ein paar Basics zum Kochen eingekauft, weil ja die GeschĂ€fte nicht offen haben wĂŒrden - wow!
Haus: der Wohn-/Essbereich ist auch der Eingangsbereich - 1 groĂer Raum mit Couch und Esstisch. FĂŒr unseren Aufenthalt im November ein wichtiger Raum; im Sommer wird man sicher mehr drauĂen sein.
Nach oben geht's zur Galerie = KĂŒche. Voll ausgestattet - lediglich einen Backofen gibt es nicht. Wir haben ausgiebig gekocht - Töpfe, Pfannen etc. waren ausreichend vorhanden.
Ăber eine schmale Wendeltreppe geht es nach unten ins Schlafzimmer und ins Bad. Gerade bei der An-/Abreise ist es hilfreich, dass man auch von auĂen dort hin gelangt; im Alltag bleibt die Treppe - und die ist wirklich schmal. Wir haben sehr gut geschlafen; das Bad ist klein aber ausreichend; groĂzĂŒgige SchrĂ€nke - damit man nicht aus dem Koffer leben muss - sind vorhanden.
Umgebung: Man ist "ab vom Schuss"; wir fanden das super. Mit dem Zug ist man von Pontassieve in 20 Minuten mitten in Florenz, ansonsten mit dem Auto schnell "ĂŒberall".
AusdrĂŒcklich hervorzuheben ist die Herzlichkeit der Gastgeberin Gianna. Wir haben viel ĂŒber den Anbau von Oliven gelernt - vielen Dank auch dafĂŒr!
