Bottino is even more beautiful than the photos. It's a very comfortable home, with picturebook views, and lots of interesting places to visit nearby (if you feel like tearing yourself away from the terrace and the beautiful setting). Of the places I've rented, this is tops for bathroom joys (water pressure, hot water and giant bath sheets).

The property is basic, but clean, safe, comfortable and brilliantly placed to explore Northern Tuscany, by train and by car. The owners were very friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay there again and would strongly recommend it.

Having booked Villa Limoni 7 months previously we arrived to start our rental to be told that the property had been damaged in a storm and was not habitable, but that we could use the other villa owned by the same family, Zurli, located less than 1 km away. Unfortunately this was a bare-faced lie, and another family were enjoying Limoni for the next week as it had been double-booked. Even then we were not told the truth until every possible untruth had been tried. We were upgraded to a better villa with the promise of nothing further to pay, but this was also untrue. I would not recommend this company to anyone, as despite the villa-owner's dishonesty, our contract was with the agents.

My wife and I and another couple rented this villa for one week. We enjoyed Massa and its proximity to towns in the area we wanted to visit. The villa, however, was disappointing. It was represented to us as having three bedrooms but it's actually two bedrooms and a loft (which has no privacy). And before we arrived there had been a water leak in one of the bedrooms, making it unusable so all we had access to was one bedroom and the very open loft. Then we had to endure the jackhammer that was used for several hours during the repair of the water leak.
The view could be spectacular but is mostly blocked by trees. Perhaps the trees aren't on the owner's property.
Finally, we didn't have the privacy we expected since we weren't informed that the lower area of the villa is rented also, apparently to a permanent tenant family with a small child and a cat. We never met the owner of the villa, only her daughter who was very helpful.
