We had a very nice time in Alice. We stayed there for a week with 6 adults and 3 children. It is a nice, large, house, with a very pleasant,large garden and a nice swimmingpool. It's is very central in Toscany, which makes it easy to visit Florence, Siena, San Gimignano and Pisa.

The house was great to stay! There is a nice swimming pool and the view is very nice. The house is big and the bathrooms are clean. There should be a dog but we did not see him. Only there wasn't wifi, but we could use it from the house boss if we went outside. It was a great pleasure to stay at Pozzo Dei Desideri!

PLUSES:
•Early booking price was reasonable. Extras figured later did not detract from overall cost of unit. Thanks EasyReserve!

•Situated very well for day trips to Pisa, the Cinque Terra region, etc
•Well stocked kitchen, kitchen appliances worked well.
•3 bathrooms and 4 bedrooms a plus.
IMPROVEMENTS NEEDED
(First year of renting is noted.)
•Description of ground level bedroom misleading. It was in finished basement down marble stairs.
•The official description and the contract had some noticeable wording differences that took investigation to sort out.
•Bathroom in basement had broken hrown pump. Took a 2 days to get it fixed. Could not use this bathroom until then. Glad there were three!
•Outdoor washing machine did not cycle properly. Had to take wet cloths to service.
•Needed trash supplies and directions on first day. Did not get until end of week. Had to figure out ourselves.

Mit kleinen Mängeln für Deutsche Gäste. Es gibt keine Kaffeemaschine, keinen Wasserkocher, keine Heizquelle von April-Oktober, (wir hatten Ende April 10 Grad), keinen Backofen, Toaster nur auf Nachfrage. Bis San Gimignano ca. 3km, im Ort ist es immer knapp an Parkplätzen. Am Besten Früh in die Stadt. fahren. Achtung an alle Hundebesitzer, es gibt wahnsinnig viele Zecken!
Es wird nur Englisch o. Italienisch gesprochen

We spent a delightful week in April 2014 at Borgovallesanta in Duddova Italy. We arrived in the afternoon. The directions given were a bit vague but soon realized to stop in the restaurant for help finding our villa. We were greeted by Leonardo, the owner, whose family runs the restaurant. We rented the two bedroom L'Uliveta apartment. The furnishings were charming and the beds quite comfortable. The kitchen was small and required unplugging one appliance in order to use another but we were not there to cook. There were dishes and pots provided so you could cook if you wanted. Our favorite spot was breakfast on the little balcony. We were out touring late most days so we only had one chance to have dinner at the restaurant one night. The dinner was delicious. Our one regret was our failing ability to speak Italian. I am sure Leonardo’s father has a wealth of information on the history of the village of Duddova. The village is beautiful. Very few buildings make up the town. There was some sort of restoration going on at the church. Since it was April the pool was closed so I can’t comment on that.
General thoughts on the location- our GPS took us up this narrow road going for several miles. On our first trip we both were worried that the location may not have been the best as a home base for touring. We later stumbled on a better route. This made the location fine for us for seeing several parts of Tuscany and even Umbria.
Personal thoughts on the location – we are indebted to Leonardo for his help. After checking in with him and finding our villa we discovered our rental car wouldn’t start. He aided us by contacting the rental car company (won’t use budget again!) finding us someone to tow the car and transport us back to pick up a new car.
Overall we had a wonderful stay at L'Uliveta.

We stayed at the Villa Carolina the last two weeks in April. Our experience was absolutely the best! The owners, Lucia and Gabrielle we so friendly and conscientious about making sure all our needs were met. Lucia even surprised us one evening by bringing over a wonderfully cooked Italian meal, dessert and all! The location of the villa was perfect for our day trips into the Tuscan hill towns and really close to Poggibonsi where there was a great grocery store (Pam) and a fabulous wine bar where we became fast friends with Luca and Francesca. We highly recommend this place and we will definitely be back!

Traumhaftes Haus in perfekter Lage!
Das Haus ist perfekt für 2 Personen plus Kind. Bis nach San Gimignano sind es etwa 5 Minuten - zwar bergauf aber es lohnt sich. Besonders das Eis beim ehemaligen Gelato Weltmeister in San Gimignano ist einfach nur zu empfehlen.
Die Eigentümer sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Das Haus hat alles, was man braucht. Es gab Wein und Öl aus eigenem Anbau als Begrüßungsgeschenk. Sehr lecker.
Einfach eine perfekte Unterkunft für einen traumhaften Toskana Urlaub!

My daughter and I had a wonderful time and Villa 3 Colli Gardenia was exactly what I imagined it to be. A lovely villa in Tuscany surrounded by vines in a beautiful countryside. We will be back definitely and recommended to our friends and family. Thank you
