Casa Turchesa is in a wonderful location. The views are lovely. The house is spacious and it is a short walk into Greve with good shops, restaurants and market.Monica is very helpful. The house could do with a couple of comfortable armchairs for the evening time. Overall a great base for this part of Tuscany.

Our stay was everything we had hoped for in a villa in Tuscany. Great base for days trips round the region. Both apartments have wonderful decorative touches combining old world with modern convinces. The owners were friendly and inviting,the dinner they prepare for all the guests was wonderful. We will definitely come again

The apartment was wonderful and probably our favorite of the apartments we stayed in during our two week Italian vacation. The unit is very charming with the curved ceilings, rustic beams, and beautiful kitchen fixtures. The apartment's location is perfect, very close to the Leaning Tower, and close enough to the train station to walk (if carrying luggage, it might be better to take a taxi). It's best to close the windows in the living room and kitchen at night since they open onto a small street. There is some noise from people walking by or an occasional scooter. The windows and shutters block any noise when they are closed. We left the window in the back bedroom, that faces the courtyard open all night, and didn't hear any noise. The apartment is very peaceful, the washing machine is easy to use an the providing drying rack is large, which was very nice. The owner provided an internet hot- spot, which was great. However, connectivity worked best if you were near the unit. The walls are very thick, so reception wasn't great if you were too far away. The unit is portable and is about the size of credit card (but thicker) so it was easy to keep nearby. We would definately stay in this apartment again, on our next visit.

A lovely property. The rooms were spacious and the views from the patios were excellent. Good linens and the ladies were nice enough to procure a microwave for us. We were the only people on the property so they were able to raid the other apartments.
My complaint is that other than the olive oil and wines that were stocked for a price, we would have appreciated some basic stuff, like salt and pepper and maybe enough coffee for the next morning. We arrived late afternoon and there was nowhere to procure these things without making a trip to the village which we were in no mood to do after a long journey all the way from Rome. If we had been told in advance that there was basically nothing there, we would have planned accordingly. Surely these few things could have been provided considering what we were paying. Some paper towels would have also been appreciated.
We decided to leave a day early because my mother is disabled and thought we should spend the last night at a hotel near Florence airport. I asked about this several days in advance but was told that it was not possible because the owner had already been paid. I can assure you nobody was waiting for our suite. We are not rich and a refund for one night would have defrayed the cost of an expensive hotel.
I would hesitate to recommend the property unless some of these issues could have been resolved.

Vila was pretty much what we expected. The hydro/heat was not on when we arrived, the villa not as clean as we would have liked, and no basic supplies provided to warrant an excellent rating.

This place is wonderful and very quiet. The location for bus to Lucca is perfect. Flavia is a gracious and delightful owner and host. The only negative was arriving late Saturday and the bath rooms are not supplied with toilet paper and the stores are closed on Sunday.
