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.

Lovely villa and grounds with nice views. Very good restaurants within a 5 minute drive. Little details that should be noted: sufficient bathroom towels available for all guests plus the toaster was not in good working order. Caretakers did not do a walk through of the house upon arrival and the security deposit was not collected. Rooms should have had a good vacuum before arrival. Upon saying this, I did my stay at Al Palazzaccio.

We had a very pleasant stay at Podere il Doccio. When we arrived we first wondered if we were at the right place. But going downhill brought us exactly where we wanted to be. The accommodation was everything we wished for. Basic, but clean. Quiet, but close to the village. One of the highlights was definitely the cooking lesson. A great diner with a great family. There were 9 kids in our company, from age 1 till age 16, they had a great vacation. What we really appreciated was the hospitality of the family Gren; they helped us out with every question we had, had the best tips for dinner, great pasta and the best ice cream at a unique location and were always very friendly.
