My husband and I were recently traveling through Italy with another couple for 2 weeks. We stayed at La Querce for 4 nights which was the absolute perfect place to relax and unwind after 4 crazy, action packed days in Rome.
Prior to our arrival, Tom (the host) was unbelievably helpful and responsive, providing us with detailed directions to the property, restaurant suggestions, instructions for our stay, and ideas for touring around the area.
The property itself is beautiful, set into the side of a hill with breathtaking views high above Pescia. Although the villa is hundreds of years old, it had all of the necessities (i.e, gas cooking range, great bedding, good plumbing, washer / dryer) that a modern house would have. Out favorite parts were the outdoor patios - one with a long table perfect for al fresco dining and the other with 2 lounge chairs to soak up the sun. We enjoyed the patios at night as well with a glass (or 2) of great wine, gazing at the stars and watching the fireflies float around us. It was truly idyllic.
Stuart, the house manger was there to greet us when we arrived and was extremely helpful throughout our stay. He was able to accommodate a couple of last minute requests and checked in daily to make sure we had everything that we needed.
All in all we couldn't have asked for a better experience and hope to return one day in the not too distant future!
