New Review Submitted for Le Balze located in Camaiore, Tuscany, Italy.

Rental Date: Saturday 11th of June 2016.
Renter Rating: 5/5.
Review Details:
This villa is excellent from a bedroom to pool to facilities perspective. However, please be cautious that the driveway into the villa is along a very narrow alley and with a few angles to navigate. We got our rental car scratched so, this holiday cost is 50% more than we intended to. I didn't read about this anywhere on the documents we were sent, nor from other reviews.

New Review Submitted for Villa Carolina located in Barberino Val D'elsa, Tuscany, Italy.

Rental Date: Saturday 18th of June 2016.
Renter Rating: 4/5.
Review Details:
First off, I believe that honest reviews are the best. People spend a lot of money sight-unseen and it is critical to help set proper expectations.

Overall, we were most pleased with the accommodations. There were seven of us (5 adults and 2 teens) and we were more than comfortable. We felt more than welcomed by our wonderful hostess, Lucia.

The view could not have been more scenic and the pool (note, unheated for those traveling in the offseason) and patio area were quite nice.

Of course, it is difficult for any rental location to live up to the expectations set by the website photos and this one was no exception. The place was just a little bit more "lived in" than the photos would indicate, but that's just good marketing! Just set your expectations accordingly. We had some minor issues which I'm certain the owner would have tackled had we asked (a few ants in the kitchen and an A/C unit in one of the bedrooms wouldn't work). But, certainly we experienced nothing that should cause a person hesitation in booking this villa.

As advertised, the village of Poggibonsi is quaint and has a lot to offer. However, be aware that nothing is within walking distance. You need a car. That said, the location is perfectly nestled between Siena, Florence, and San Gimingnano---an easy drive to all places.

All told, I felt that I more than received a value for my money. To put 7 in a place like that for a week was a winner, in my mind and I would recommend it to anyone who asks!

The villa and staff made this Tuscan vacation. The location, service and food all amazing. Miley's, Tuscan mama, pizza, pasta making, daily breakfasts and Tuscan BBQ perfect. There was a couple little restaurants and winery nearby delicious and convenient. We had 14 people, adults and children. Hope to come back and visit this wonderful place. Grazie!

New Review Submitted for Relais Villa Belvedere - Tipologia Mono: Relais Villa Belvedere - Tipologia Trilo 900.2 located in Figline Valdarno, Tuscany, Italy.

Rental Date: Saturday 11th of June 2016.
Renter Rating: 5/5.
Review Details:
I was very pleased with our experience. We stayed for a long time (2 weeks) and the apartment was very good. It was convenient to Florence and other sites. The local town (Inchisa) is small but we could easily walk to the market or to take the train to Florence or other cities. We especially enjoyed the pool since it has a 25 meter length so we could swim laps properly.
Staff people helpful.
