We had a wonderful stay at Ca De Tonco. The Villa is situated in a remote location up in the Tuscan hills.
The drive to the Villa along the steep and windy gravel track takes a bit of getting used to, but the rewards are considerable, as you find yourself truly secluded without any disturbances once you arrive at Ca De Tonco. I grew to enjoy the drive and there are some stunning views of the valley as you reach the higher ground along the path.
The views from the Villa need to be experienced to be believed. They are both breathtaking and peaceful. The Villa itself has everything you need to enjoy yourself, with a pool, table tennis table, hammock and BBQ available. The size of the Villa was perfect for a family of 4 like ours. Our host Giulia was helpful and friendly and the provision of coal and firefighters for the BBQ was a nice touch.
Florence is around 1 hour 20 minutes away, so were able to enjoy a day out there as a family (we recommend parking at Villa Costanza and getting the tram into Florence). Arezzo is also highly recommended and around 30 minutes drive from the Villa. The higher parts of Arezzo have gorgeous views of the surrounding landscape, and there was a buzzing atmosphere in the town square when we visited on a Friday evening.
There are plenty of supermarkets in the nearby area, including the gigantic Co op. The local ingredients are fantastic, with the watermelon and lemons delicious in August when we visited.
We had an amazing holiday and we would definitely stay again at Ca De Tonco.

Abbiamo trascorso settimana di ferragosto presso questa struttura; 2 famiglie di adulti complessivamente 10 persone e ci siamo trovati veramente bene. Posizione invidiabile, piscina superlativa, casa accogliente e ben attrezzata. Unico neo gli insetti fastidiosi. Punto privilegiato per diverse escursioni nella splendida Toscana è vicina Umbria

Pros: the pool is amazing and the owners were very helpful
Cons: it’s next to a busy road and another house is being constructed right next door so your view is obscured and I imagine once it’s finished the house won’t be very private. This isn’t shown on the photos so it’s a bit of a surprise when you arrive!
[counter comment from the owner] yes there is a one-storey house under construction, the works were suspended during the rental period and will start again from the end of September and will be completed by the end of this year 2023. The view will not be obscured, because it is only one floor and therefore the surrounding countryside will be clearly visible from the loggia of the villa.
Mooi huis, fijn zwembad (wel overal ondiep), fijne schaduwplekken in de tuin. Wij vonden het alleen heel erg afgelegen en de weg er naartoe is eigenlijk bijna niet begaanbaar (kuilen en keien). Heel slecht voor de auto. Dat maakte dat wij weinig uitstapjes hebben gemaakt.
[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] Beautiful house, nice swimming pool (shallow everywhere), nice shaded areas in the garden. We just thought it was very remote and the road to it was actually almost impassable (potholes and boulders). Very bad for the car. This meant that we made few trips.
Alles Bestens. Die Vermieter sehr nett. Die Unterkunft ist ideal für zwei Personen, es ist alles vorhanden, was man braucht. Waren zum zweiten Mal dort und würden auch ein dtittes oder viertes Mal dort Urlaub machen.
[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] Everything fine. The landlords were very nice. The accommodation is ideal for two people, everything you need is there. Were there for the second time and would also vacation there a third or fourth time.

la maison est tres sombre sans possibilité d'ouvrir les fenêtres a cause des moustiquaires fixes.. atmosphere un peu glauque dan la maison. Proximité de l'autoruute genere du bruit... au total très moyen
Ein wirklich schönes Feriendomizil.
Der Kontakt mit den Gastgebern war sehr gut, kleine Probleme wurden sofort gelöst.
Die einzelnen Wohnungen sind sehr unterschiedlich, daher beim Buchen darauf achten, welche Wohnung man bucht.

Estuvimos una semana y todo fantástico. La casa muy limpia, la más limpia en los años que llevamos alquilando.
Los propietarios muy acogedores y atentos a cualquier necesidad que pudiéramos tener. Siempre fácil comunicación.
Esta es la primera valoración que hago en años, porque en años que viajo, está ha sido con diferencia la mejor casa.
Felicidades propietarios!!
[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] We stayed for a week and everything was fantastic. The house is very clean, the cleanest in the years we have been renting.
The owners are very welcoming and attentive to any needs we may have. Always easy communication.
This is the first review I have made in years, because in the years I have traveled, this has been by far the best house.
Congratulations owners!!
