Le Terrine - belle ferme en Toscane avec piscine et offrant de superbes vues

Das Ferienhaus liegt etwas abseits und sehr ruhig in der Nähe von Monterchi. Wir waren eine Woche mit 2 Familien dort. Es war ein sehr schöner Urlaub der allen Erwachsenen und auch den Kindern von 9 bis 17 Jahren sehr gefallen hat. Wir hätten die Woche auch gut und gerne nur im Haus und an dem großzügigen und sauberen Pool verbringen können, hatten aber im Vorfeld doch einige Ausflüge geplant. Das Haus ist liebevoll eingerichtet und mit allem ausgestattet, was einen einen Urlaub besonders macht. Es waren Bücher, Tischtennisplatte, Kicker und Spiele (in englisch) da. Arezzo und Florenz sind günstig zu erreichen. (Florenz ab Arezzo mit dem Zug in circa 1 Stunde). Ein Erlebnis ist der Besuch des kleinen Supermarktes in Monterchi oder auch des Wochenmarktes. Das Kochen in der riesigen gut eingerichteten Küche hat großen Spaß gemacht und das Ausklingen des Tages auf der Terrasse mit einem gigantischen Ausblick war ein Erlebnis. Wir würden gerne nächstes Jahr wieder kommen.

Comfortably accommodating 4 adults and 6 children we spent a relaxing two weeks in summer 18. The pool was large enough and clean and welcoming and the grounds and views beautiful. The lavender around the grounds gave off the most amazing smells.

Inside comfortably housed us 10 . The rooms all have fans but no air con but we coped

Monterchi isn’t a huge town and only a few restaurants so if you want more from the nearest town you might look elsewhere but there was enough for us and the restaurant at the top of the walled town was very atmospheric with great food.

We arrived to find a welcome pack of food and essentials in her fridge which was lovely - and lots of inflatables for the pool

A wonderful holiday .

We had two weeks in this fabulous villa and what an amazing place this was. Not sure how we managed to drag ourselves away from the vista down the valley or from the pool (which is where I spent most of my day). There was nothing missing from our time in the house - everything we could have needed or even thought of was provided. There was shade for my husband who behaves as if sunlight will melt him and a TV for the foot ball for my cousin as this was absolutely the most important thing.

The family joined us for the second week along with our 15month old grandson who spent most of his time 'walking' up and down the steps as was his wont. There was ample space for us all to enjoy whatever area of the house and grounds suited us best and all the rooms were cool enough that we were able to sleep very well indeed.

For me it was the unforeseen pleasure of watching the wildlife from the grand position of the upstairs loo window - hares, deer and many many birds including golden oriels which I have never seen before. At night we were serenaded by nightingales, also something I'd never heard till then. The walks around the house are not to be missed either as we also saw wild boar!

So basically this was the perfect holiday in the perfect location - thank you.

Situated on the border of Umbria and Tuscany. Although we experienced some minor issues the caretakers tried to assist as best as possible. The house is well equiped and easily caters for larger groups. We particularly enjoyed:

Cortona

Cita di Castello

La Verna (spectacular in quiet time) and little restaurant at the top was great

Anghiari

Monterchi, restaurants (trattoria) and deli at top of village.

Monterchi, just outside, restaurant la pieve vecchia was sensational (book in advance). Excellent waiter who replaced a slightly corked bottle of Chianti Reserva Classico on his own initiative. Top class.

Thanks Harriet and James for sharing your place with us.

Firenze is a 90min drive.

Ruhig gelegen und sehr ordentlich, mit Versorgung zur Begrüßung, es hat an nichts gefehlt. Poolpflege hätte zwischendurch stattfinden können.
