We had an amazing relaxing time. The hosts were excellent and friendly and also respected our privacy. The view from the house and pool was beautiful. The pool area is secluded and clean. The house was well equipped and the beds were very comfortable. The spare bedroom acted as a living room with big TV. The little village had a very good well stocked co-op and lovely resturants. We will be returning!
Had a wonderful stay at La Casina Delle Fate! The place was in a beautiful location, peaceful and idyllic. The home was extremely well equipped, comfortable and private. The hosts went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. The location is perfect for day trips to local cities and the small towns are also a pleasure to visit. The pool is kept spotlessly clean and we enjoyed lazing here in the day and the evenings on the terrace. Highly recommend!
Beautifully situated in a wooded hillside with nice views. The owners are very nice but do not speak English as the website suggested. Communication was sketchy but we got by. The pool area and garden is immaculately maintained and so peaceful. The dining area is equally nice. Only negative comment is that there are no cushions for any outside furniture. The second bedroom doubles up as a living room for when the weather changes! Cavriglia is a short walk away for shops and restaurants with plenty of parking too. Not too far to Siena, Arezzo, Florence (we went by train), Volterra, San Gimignano and Pisa. Le Balze is well worth a visit for a relatively easy walk with stunning and unusual scenery.
Gianna and Mauro were excellent hosts, they treated us like one of the family. The house is ideally situated overlooking a peaceful valley above Cavriglia with stunning views and, more importantly, peace and quiet. The house was perfect for our requirements and the pool, in beautiful gardens, was also great. The location allows for visiting the busier Tuscan areas, Arezzo and Florence are not too far away, Chianti is next door and there are lots of amazing castles, vineyards and olive groves to visit. We hired a car from Pisa airport and toured the area. As early as our second day of our stay we commented how much we'd love to revisit and just chill in the great surroundings. We will certainly be recommending La Casina Delle Fate to family and friends.
We came for Eroica 2023 and had a wonderful stay at Gianna and Mauros house. The house is small but is really well-equipped, there is literally everything you could need. And if something is missing Gianna will gladly help you out. It's situated above the little village Cavriglia, nicely tucked on a mountain-side. The pool, although fairly cold in October, was excellent to cool off after our bike rides.
Gianna and Mauro are really the best hosts and and we can highly recommend staying with them.
And since it has been mentioned before. Yes, the bathroom is small, but how much time do you spend in a bathroom? It's absolutely fine and very functional. I felt a bit bad that Gianna had to somewhat justify why it's so small. There's a toilet, a sink and a hot shower, what else do you need?! :)

Grazie ancora, abbiamo passato un tempo bellissimo da voi e speriamo di tornare negli anni prossimi :).

PS: Whoever wants to stay here for Eroica, it's about 11km from Gaiole (about 400m of altitude) and will roughly take you about 45 minutes. It is absolutely possible to ride there by bike and not worry about parking in Gaiole :)
Padroni di casa molto cordiali, molto accomodanti e accoglienti. La casa Ăš dotata di tutto il necessario per una vacanza all'insegna del barbecue e della cucina. La casa Ăš situata in una splendida posizione e dispone di un'area esterna molto curata con una bella piscina pulita. I padroni di casa hanno progettato il giardino in modo molto bello e amorevole. Ci Ăš piaciuto molto.
Wir wurden sehr herzlich von der Ehefrau in Empfang genommen. Sie hat uns alles im Haus erklĂ€rt. Im Haus selbst ist alles Notwendige vorhanden. Dann haben wir erst einmal eine AbkĂŒhlung in dem wundervollen Pool genommen.
Das Landhaus liegt am Ende einer kleinen, von der Anfahrt her etwas abenteuerlichen StraĂe. Es braucht ein wenig Mut, mir dem Auto den Berg runter zu fahren, ist langsam aber problemlos möglich. DafĂŒr wird man mit einer tollen Aussicht belohnt.
Unseren Wagen konnten wir ĂŒberdacht unterstellen, so dass er vor der prallen Sonne geschĂŒtzt war.
Alle Fenster sind mit feinmaschigem Insektenschutz ausgestattet, dennoch empfiehlt es sich fĂŒr draussen MĂŒckenschutz mitzunehmen.
In ca. 2,5 km ist ein kleiner Ort, in dem man Essen gehen kann und indem man seine notwendigen EinkÀufe gut erledigen kann.
Wir haben uns hier sehr wohl gefĂŒhlt und wĂŒrden jederzeit wieder buchen.
Het huisje is klein maar perfect voor 2 a 3 personen. Huisje is gezellig, superschoon, goed voorzien van spullen. Geen airco maar wel horren voor alle ramen waardoor het 's nachts prima was.
Het zwembad en het uitzicht is werkelijk fantastisch. Prima locatie om naar Florence en Siena te gaan. Gastvrouw is heel vriendelijk maar spreekt echt geen enkel woord Engels. Maar met Google translate prima te doen.
Badkamer is erg klein maar dat mocht de pret niet drukken. Echt een dikke aanrader!
Une petite maison au milieu de la nature toscane, de quoi se reposer et se ressourcer, des paysages magnifiques, une piscine rafraichissante...
Seul petit bemol, le matelas de la chambre pourrait etre plus confortable.
Sehr diskrete, aber dennoch liebe und hilfsbereite Gastgeber. Unterkunft bietet alles was man braucht. Wundervoll ruhige Lage mit einem traumhaften Garten und wunderschönem Pool zur alleinigen Nutzung. NÀchstes Jahr wir sofort wieder gebucht!
Das HĂ€uschen ist klein aber gemĂŒtlich. Das einzige Manko ist das Badezimmer. Wir, als zwei groĂe Menschen, hatten echt Schwierigkeiten beim Duschen. Die AuĂenanlagen sind topp mit einer Superaussicht.
Wunderbare Ferienwohnung und ein sehr schöner Garten inklusive privatem Pool. Sehr freundliche Gastgeber, die Sprachbarriere war kein Problem. Es stand alles zur VerfĂŒgung, was man brauchte, man erreicht alle bekannten toskanischen SehenswĂŒrdigkeiten in relativ kurzer Zeit mit dem Auto (1 Stunde Siena/Orcia-Tal; 1 Stunde Florenz). Auch in unmittelbarer NĂ€he gibt es WeingĂŒter, Restaurants etc. Ideal fĂŒr Paare, aber auch mit Kindern wahrscheinlich eine tolle Location. Wir kommen gerne wieder.
Gianna und Mauro waren sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend, mille grazie!
Dette lille dukkehus er perfekt. meget Rent, stille omrÄde og alt hvad du behÞver findes i huset. Dejlig swimmingpool og en meget fin terrasse som ligger helt ugeneret. Dejlig velkomst og god mulighed for at fÄ hjÊlp hvis vi havde behov.
Mit Gianna und Mauro hatten wir freundliche und hilfsbereite Gastgeber, auch wenn die Kommunikation etwas schwierig war (kein Englisch, Grundkenntnisse in Italienisch oder ein gutes Ăbersetzungsprogramm können helfen).
Die Lage des Objekts ist geradezu fantastisch, zumindest wenn man es gerne ruhig mag. In der Umgebung gibt es jede Menge WeingĂŒter, die auch gutes Olivenöl verkaufen. Die Wohnung ist zweckmĂ€ssig eingerichtet, der Privatpool sauber und erfrischend. Die Gartendusche ist hilfreich bei dem kleinen Bad. Man hat eine Aussicht bis in das Tal. Die Zufahrten sind steil, aber gut befestigt und die Garage gerĂ€umig.
Alles in allem ein wunderschönes StĂŒck Erde und absolut empfehlenswert!
A special place with a beautiful view and lovely swimmingpool
We had a great time! The terraces, view and swimmingpool were adorable. The beds very comfortable. The kitchen and seating area maybe a little bit smaller but fully equipped and the outdoor living space was huge and the environment breathtaking. The bathroom could have been a bit bigger but all worked perfect. Overall it was a great experience and we would highly recommend it, also to a family with kids.
