Nice location, quiet but not too far from the main sightseeing venues. Nice owners, they gave us some good advice for sightseeing but overall they were a bit too "present". The domain is closed off by a fence which gave us a safe feeling to leave our car or bikes. The appartment was correctly equipped, beautiful view from the terrass.

Tassinaia is a beautifull villa tranquilly located on top of a hil near Castelfiorentino. Breathtaking views over Tuscan hills from garden and swimming pool. There is always a small breeze and temperature in the evening falls to an agreeable level. One hour driving from the airport of Pisa (cheap flights). 50 minutes train travelling to the centre of Florence. In the village a well equiped supermarket (coop). The house was restored in 2006 and is well maintained. It is nicely decorated. There are a dishwasser and a washing machine for your convenience. Remarkable although that the kitchen furniture lacks tablespoons and a bread knife (we bought it and left there). The swimming pool is quite large. Owner and family are nice and helpfull. Nevertheless we discovered the owners dogs turd in the neighbouring of the swimming pool. In summer there are lots of mosquitoes in Tuscany. Fly screens or mosquitoe nets would be nice.

Castore and Polluce is een perfect huis. Twee grote woonkamers en volledig uitgeruste keukens. De slaapkamers hebben goede bedden. De badkamers zijn klein maar fijn, de douche is prima. Er zijn wel veel kleine trapjes in het huis wat een probleem zou kunnen zijn als je slecht ter been bent. Onze kinderen vonden het geweldig, zoveel ruimte in het huis. Pino en Orsola zijn de beste gastheer en gastvrouw die je kan bedenken. Bij aankomst was er fruit en wijn en kregen we meteen een rondleiding door de tuinen en voelden we ons super welkom. Pino kan je alle informatie geven over de omgeving en evt. reserveringen voor je regelen voor restaurants. Alle belangrijke touristische plaatsten liggen op 1 1/2 a 2 uur rijden. s'Avonds kijk je uit over de berg en zie je de lichtjes van Lucca. Enig minpuntje waren de muggen, niet zozeer s'nachts maar vooral s'avonds. Dus, antimuggen middelen meenemen, overigens veel mensen op diverse plekken gezien met muggenbulten dus dat lag niet aan deze plek alleen.
Pino en Orsola, nogmaals bedankt voor alles en ik hoop tot ziens want het voelde als thuiskomen.

We spent a beautiful week at Mercatale 4. The property was what we expected from the website. The property owner was very nice and we had a lot of privacy. She was very helpful in directing us to the nearest grocery store and prior to arriving she gave us information so that we could book a cooking class.
I would suggest bringing a radio as there is no TV on site if you wish to have some music while you are there. The value was great for the property and the access to main highways and other towns was 100%.

The directions/GPS cordinates need to be updated on the Easy Reserve confirmation as we found that they were not as accurate as they could have been.

Highly recommended from...
