Wonderful stay in the Tuscan Hills
We enjoyed a wonderful fortnight's stay at this beautiful home in the hills outside the village of Monterchi. The house sits on a ridge with far reaching views across the surrounding valleys, particularly stunning from the swimming pool. The owners were kind and thoughtful and there to offer assistance whenever needed. Their recommendations were spot on, especially the gelateria at the end of the Ponte Vecchio in Florence!!! There were so many beautiful places to visit within easy reach that the house was a perfect launch pad into Tuscany and Umbria. A lovely circular walk from the house towards an elegant castle, allows you to enjoy the setting of the house in this rural paradise. The pool, with its kitchen and shower set in gorgeous gardens, was the the star of the show, the only problem was dragging the kids away! We visited in late July/early August when a music fesitval was on and we enjoyed a wonderful evening of open air jazz in the square in Monterchi, filled with locals rather than tourists.
