Our group rated this property excellent in all categories. The owners were delightful people who tend their property beautifully, including the garden and the pool and they supervise the housecleaning with very good local workers. It was a real pleasure to be in such a beautiful house in that lovely natural setting with a well tended garden and pool. The nearby town of Monterchi had a restaurant and wine cantina and pottery store in the main plaza which was of especial interest to us with very kind, generous owners who cooked very well.

San Romolo 1 was a truly lovely property and the highlight of our two week tour of Italy. The villa is very nice inside - neat and clean with all the general conveniences and the views are spectacular! The owners are two of the sweetest people you could meet and though they speak little english, we were able to get along just fine. Suzanna, a resident of the property, speaks fluent english and was a great help to us as a friend and interpretor. I would hiighly recommend this property to anyone looking for a nice, comfortable place to stay away from the hussle and bussle of Firenze. We are so appreciative for the opportunity to stay here and felt right at home.

Sehr schöne Ferienwohnung im toskanischen Stil, sehr gepflegt und sauber. Die Lage in San Casciano ist ideal um Ausflüge nach Florenz, Siena,Pisa, etc. zu unternehmen. Die Küche könnte etwas besser ausgestattet sein - das morgendliche Kaffekochen gestaltete sich als mühevolles Unterfangen, da der typisch italienische Kaffeekocher für 4 Personen viel zu klein ist. Sehr nett fanden wir auch den "Begrüßungskorb" mit Wein, Olivenöl, Nescafe, Zwieback und anderen Kleinigkeiten. Ganz dringend zu empfehlen wären auch Mückennetze, o.ä.! Wir waren zwar mit Autan und Insektenspray ausgestattet, was die toskanischen Mücken aber nicht wirklich interessiert hat...Dieser "Mückenterror" wäre der einzige Hinderungsgrund, nicht noch einmal nach San Casciano zu fahren (nach 5 Tagen sahen wir aus, als hätten wir Windpocken)
Alles in Allem kann ich die Wohnung weiterempfehlen...

[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] Very nice apartment in the typical Tuscan style, very neat and clean. The position in San Casciano is ideal for excursions to Florence, Siena, Pisa, etc. The kitchen could be a bit better equipped - in the morning coffee cooking proved to be an arduous undertaking, as the typical Italian coffee maker (moka) for 4 people is far too small. We also appreciated the "Welcome basket" with wine, olive oil, instant coffee, biscuits and other snacks. We would very strongly recommend to provide the apartment with mosquito screens! We were equipped with Autan features and bug spray, but this was not really interesting for the Tuscan mosquitoes ... Only this "mosquito terror" would hinder us not to go again to San Casciano (after 5 days we looked like we would have chickenpox). All in all I can recommend the apartment ...

Simply Fabulous!

I'll tell you about how great is Suite d'Artista, but I must start by mentioning the absolute best of all, and that's Lisa and Andrea, the lovely couple who owns the property. Not only are they LOVELY, but they treated us like friends from day 1, they checked on us every day to make sure everything was alright and to make sure the property was in optimum condition.

They also welcomed heartedly our Labrador puppy. We were hoping for a place where dogs were tolerated and we found one where they are loved!

Now, the property and amenities are perfect: great deco, quality furniture and excellently fitted apartment (recently refurbished). The bed was very comfortable and spacious and the overall living area cosy and welcoming. We literally felt like we could live there for any length of time.

The shared garden and swimming pool area is a Zen dream come true; our goal was to chillout (letting go of the cumulated stress of the last 6 month) enjoying the tuscan weather, food and wine... To be honest we couldn't really have picked a better setup to achieve it.

BIG BIG thanks to Andrea and Lisa for their attention to detail, flexibility, kindness and for being such good sport with our little dog.
