New Review Submitted for Santamargherita: Papavero located in La Chiassa, Tuscany, Italy.

Review Details:
Wij hebben ontzettend genoten van ons verblijf op Santamargherita! In het echt ziet het eruit zoals op de foto's en soms nog net even beter. Het is een rustige omgeving met alles erop en eraan en het ligt prachtig, even buiten het dorpje Castelluccio. In Castelluccio heb je een kleine dorpssupermarkt die alles biedt waar je als vakantieganger naar op zoek bent. Verder is in het dorp weinig te beleven. Maar Arezzo ligt op nog geen 10 km afstand waar je van alles en nog wat binnen handbereik hebt.

Tot slot: de eigenaresse (Claudia) en haar man (ben zijn naam vergeten helaas) zijn ontzettend vriendelijk en gastvrij. Ze hebben het kasteel (wat 50 jaar schijnbaar leeg heeft gestaan) erg mooi opgeknapt en zijn (naar eigen zeggen) pas gestart met de verhuur van de appartementen. Wat voor ons erg prettig was, is dat aan het zwembad veel geoorloofd is. Of je nu zelf je broodjes meeneemt of tijdens de lunch aan de luxe bar wat besteld, het maakt niet uit. Ook honden zijn er welkom, ze hebben zelf ook heel schattig beestje.

Wat eveneens prettig is, is dat je nauwelijks in de gaten hebt dat er andere gasten zijn. De een spendeert zijn dag bijvoorbeeld aan het zwembad terwijl de ander er op uit trekt.

In het weekend wordt het wat drukker vanwege de lokale bevolking die dan gebruik komt maken van het prachtig aangelegde zwembad en ligweide. Is juist leuk want zo is er net even wat meer rumoer en actie. Om vervolgens op maandag weer heerlijk rustig te zijn :-)

Voor ons in ieder geval een plek waar we graag naar toe terug willen. Prijs - kwaliteit is zeker in verhouding met elkaar!

Mocht je gaan: have fun!

Groet,
Myriam en Julius

[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] We really enjoyed our stay at Santamargherita! It looks like the pictures and sometimes even slightly better. It is a quiet area with all the trimmings and it is beautiful, just outside the village of Castelluccio. In Castelluccio you have a small town grocery store that offers everything you are looking for a holiday. Furthermore there is not much to do in the village. But Arezzo is located at only 10 km and here you have everything at your fingertips.
The owner (Claudia) and her husband (forgot his name unfortunately) are very friendly and hospitable. They renovated the castle (which has been empty for 50 years apparently) very nicely and just started renting the apartments. What for us was very nice is that at the pool a lot is justified. Whether you bring your own sandwiches or lunch at the luxurious bar, it does not matter. Dogs are welcome, they themselves have a very cute dog.
What is also nice is that you hardly realize that there are other guests. For example, one spends his day at the pool while other guests are out sightseeing.
During the weekend it gets a little busier because of the locals who come and use the beautifully landscaped pool and sunbathing area. It's fun because that's just a bit more noise and action. Then again on Monday very quiet :-)
For us at least one place where we like to go back to. Price - quality is definitely relative to each other!
If you go: have fun!
Sincerely,
Myriam and Julius

Rental Date: Monday 8th of August 2011.
Renter Rating: 4/5.
Review Details:
Schitterende villa, mooi tussen de bomen, met heerlijk uitzicht op de wijngaarden en Radda. Toscane en Chianti gebied zijn prachtig, en leuke plaatsen als San Gimignano en Siena zijn vlak bij. Behalve een zwembad en zitjes in de tuin is er niet zo veel te doen rondom het huis zelf.

[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] Superb villa, beautiful situation among the trees, with lovely views over the vineyards and Radda. Tuscany and Chianti area are beautiful and fun places like San Gimignano and Siena are near. Besides the swimming pool and sitting in the garden there is not so much to do around the house.

Review Details:
We enjoyed a relaxing week with our daughters family. the villa is well furnished and functioned very well for our family. Filippo was available when needed and very helpful. His girlfriend was our cook while we were there and the meals were superb. Our grandchildren enjoyed the expansive lawn area and spent daily time in the pool. the location is private and quiet with beautiful views of the countryside. the narrow gravel road is a little intimidating but we never had any ongoing traffic so it was not an issue. All in all a great location and property.
