Tuscany Villa Rental Guest Reviews

We rented the “Torre del Cielo” from 28 August to 4 September, 7 nights (my wife and I with a baby and a toddler, along with the two (single) brothers and my wife's parents.

We had a truly great and memorable week. The house is ample and charming, the grounds huge and lovely (particularly the pool area, with its gorgeous green surroundings and first-class Tuscany scenery views), and the owner and his parents the sort of warm, decorous and attentive people you want to keep in touch with afterwards. (For example, they learned that my wife had a B-day during the week, and they baked us a delicious traditional pie and brought us a nice bottle of bubbly!)

The near-by little medieval hill-top town, Monterchi, the jewel of the valley in the center of which it sits, is in full view from the house and a few minutes by car. It has a quiet square at the top, with a small tratoria straight out of a culinary dream.

As for the daily excursions around Tuscany and Umbria, within anywhere from half an hour to an hour and a half you can reach a multitude of enchanted destinations that take your breath away (sort of a theme park on the ‘wow’ factor, only REAL and centuries old!)

Since it is mandatory to list at least one complaint, we were expecting to find internet connection at the house, but when we asked about it we were told that the connection was very slow but that there was proper internet available in Monterchi (however the owner told us that there will be ADSL connection available from next season on!!!). As for the lovely pool, the otherwise exquisite balance of sunshine and freshness at the point of the year we stayed there made the water just a touch on the cold side, at least for the little ones (who never the less had a blast around the property and with the swing set installed thoughtfully for young ones).

In conclusion, we want to go back, and we will try to, and of course that is the best recommendation possible.

Geweldig, de gastvrijheid van Pauolo en Laura! Wat een geweldige lieve, echte mensen. Locatie ligt wel iets afgelegen met moeilijk stuk begaanbare weg maar daar ben je binnen 2 dagen aan gewend. Prachtig appartement, schitterend ingericht met alles erop en eraan.
Firenze (Florence) in de nabijheid (15 min) maar daar is het heerlijk rustig en adembenemend mooi. Wij hebben genoten.

[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] Great, the hospitality of Pauolo and Laura! What wonderful sweet, real people. Location is a bit secluded with a strech of difficult road but within two days you get used to it. Beautiful apartment, beautifully furnished with all the trimmings.
Firenze (Florence) in proximity (15 minutes) but it is very quiet and breathtakingly beautiful. We have enjoyed it.

The house is wonderful, the swimming pool is a dream and always prepared perfectly.
We have three comments:
- the description of the way should be changed. The house isn't
named "casa gabriella" at the gate.
- the mosquitos got on our nerves, depending on daytime
- the garden is not for single-use. Every afternoon there is a man
looking after his garden. Therefore he has to walk nearby the pool
and he did it several times a day. Sometimes he met visitors in
his part of the garden.

Appartementen op zich niets mis mee alhoewel veel te weinig servies en pannen ed aanwezig. Maar het meest absurde is dat dit huis bijna aan de grote weg grenst waardoor slapen met open ramen onmogelijk is.
Constante herrie door voorbijrazend verkeer. Niet echt een ideale plek om even te ontstressen!

[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] There is nothing wrong with the apartments, although far too few dishes and utensils provided. But the most absurd is that this house is adjacent to the main road so to sleep with open windows is impossible.
Constant noise from passing traffic. Not really an ideal place to de-stress!
