Aurora apartment, Charming Farmhouse with Private Pool and Private Outside Area

An absolutely intimate, warm and inviting nest. The apartment Aurora has a private balcony on the first floor. The living room and connected kitchen have a panoramic view of the countryside trough the balcony door.
The apartment has the following features:
- wide living room with a kitchen and a sofa-bed,
- 1 bedroom with double bed,
- bathroom with a large shower.
Free wifi internet access.
The parquet floor of our olive trees is throughout the apartment.
It's an ideal space for a couple seeking peace and quiet in a romantic setting away from everyday life.
The special atmosphere is further exalted by the beautiful view from the windows, where the eyes seem to reach out to infinity.

Four lovely apartments and a spectacular pool enjoys a stunning Pisa’s hills view. In an excellent location situated on the ground and first floor in a nice villa-farmhouse with beautiful swimming pool (12x6m), away from traffic. Podere Costantino is located at the heart of Tuscany, it gives access to the best the region has to offer: beauties of nature, unique artistic treasures of cities such as Pisa, Volterra and San Gimignano (30 km), Florence, Siena, Lucca (45km) and at only 40km from the seacoast. Podere Costantino can host you in one of its four comfortable and relaxing apartments. The apartments are wide, spacious and bright, provided of all comfort, self-standing heating system, wireless, kitchen with oven, barbecue, satellite TV with all the usual Italian channels, plus CNN and BBC 24 and private parking lot. Each apartment is direct on a private garden with table and chairs to enable dining and relaxation.

Wonderful!
Frank and Mara were wonderful hosts! We can't say enough about how welcoming and friendly they were. The property was spotless and very spacious! If you want a wonderful place that is rural, but close enough to go and take day trips to places like Florence, Pisa, Siena, or the coast, this is it!

Quiet, relaxing, great location
Situated in the midst of beautiful Tuscan countryside it offered the best of both worlds – peace and quiet for lazy days by the pool but easy access to all the major sights – Pisa, Florence, San Gimignano and Volterra.

Excellent pre visit communication, lots of useful information provided by the hosts about the area and Tuscany in general. Hosts Marra and Franco were very welcoming, providing a delicious meal on our first night, fried artichokes, salumi and pasta alla norma(best we've had outside of Sicilia. We would highly recommend staying with Marra and Franco.

Relaxing In The Tuscany
Nice, spacious, rustic apartment. We were met by the owner who was very gracious and made us a meal on the first evening which was really appreciated. You do need a car to stay here as most major attractions are at least 40 mins drive. You cannot really walk anywhere as the farmhouse is quite isolated which was the only down side. However, this does make for a relaxing break after Rome. The pool was lovely after a day out exploring. There isn’t any AC which at times made for an uncomfortable night in the summer heat. Thank you for a pleasant stay.

Perfect get away. Awesome views and hosts
Just what we needed. Great welcome and first evening meal was not expected, Chilled around the pool or on the balcony of and evening (Remember bug spray) swam every morning before a brisk walk up the hill to buy fresh bread. Bar in the village is small but cheap and does fantastic ice cream. Great location for city visits Pisa Siena and Florence May be back one day

Stunning location
Best holiday ever. Mara and Franco brought fruit from the vineyard which was delicious. When we arrived they had bruschetta waiting for us which was beautiful. We had brought the wrong adaptor and Franco was so helpful and found one for us to borrow. My partner proposed to me on route to San Gimignano so this will be an unforgettable holiday. The only thing we wished was there was air con as the heat was 37 degrees. But apart from that this holiday was dreamy. Thank you Mara and Franco!

Fantastico ! and great hosts
Mara and Franco could not be more helpful, friendly and great hosts. The constant supply of fresh fruit was amazing - cherries to die for ! The location is ideal for visiting small medieval hill top towns and the large cites of Pisa, Florence etc. Although we did not get to as many of the large towns as their place is so relaxing. The meal for all the hosts was a fantastic spread and Franco keeps appearing with various alcoholic delights ;-) One of our best holidays and we cannot praise Mara and Franco enough - Thanks again

Lovely Italian getaway in glorious countryside
Apartment Aurora had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. The owners were the perfect mix of friendly and helpful whilst respecting the privacy of guests. They supplied us with a number of home cooked treats which we really enjoyed and there was an air of simple homely relaxation. The apartment was spacious and clean and was well located for touring many well known Tuscan towns and also for exploring the tiny hilltop villages and even the coast. Despite this we found it hard to tear ourselves away from the lovely pool which was a godsend in the hot afternoon sun. Franco gave us a lot of useful information about the surrounding area including supermarkets, restaurants, markets and places of interest. He also gave us a map and an idea of driving time and the best time of day to visit.

Beautiful Tuscan countryside
We were lucky enough to spend 3 weeks at Franco and Mara's wonderful farmhouse and it could hardly have been better. Accommodation is very comfortable and we were made to feel almost part of the family with gifts of melons, apricots, figs, pies and more! Great pool. Fantastic location for visiting Florence, Pisa, Livorno, Sienna and the beaches.

A wonderful week with Franco and Mara
We arrived early and Franco and Mara immediately made us feel very welcome while they worked hard to get our apartment ready early for us. Within the first day we felt like part of the family. The apartment was well equipped, clean and spacious with comfortable beds and very pleasant views. We spent a lot of time relaxing by the pool. A peaceful and relaxing location with great restaurants within close driving distance. An excellent stay and we want to return one day. Thank you Franco and Mara xx

Delightful and Charming Farmhouse Apartment
Lovely apartment! Quiet, rural setting. The hosts are absolutely delightful! On our arrival they provided us a bottle of red wine from their own vineyard and one evening cooked us a delicious Tuscan meal which we enjoyed al fresco on the balcony outside our door. Short drives to many picturesque hilltop villages as well as to Pisa, Volterra, and San Gimignano.

Lovely, rural many faceted farm with delightful hosts.
Beautiful setting in the midst of "the real rural Tuscany". Fruit trees, apricot, apple, pears, cherries, as well as grapes and olives (for their own olive oil and wine; we found a bottle of each in our apt. on arrival). Franco and Mara were lovely hosts. The spot was an oasis after visiting nearby walled cities. Take a book down to the lounges by the pool, along with local wine and life is good! Little walled town of Morrona ( not on any map we had) was our morning uphill walk for coffee and pastry and maybe a few groceries. Great way to begin each day.

Sehr nette Vermieter
Die FeWo war okay, aber renovierungsbedürftig. Die Vermieter begrüßten uns mit einem leckeren, typisch italienischen Essen. Das erlebt man selten. Leider machten uns die Stechmücken einen Strich durch die Rechnung und wir konnten den Pool und den Balkon nicht nutzen, da wir fast gefressen wurden.Das hat den Aufenthalt getrübt.

Lovely Place!
Wir hatten einen wunderbaren (2-wöchigen) Urlaub im Podere Costantino. Die Wohnung ist sehr liebevoll möbliert und mit guten Fliegengittern an allen Fenstern ausgestattet. Lediglich ein bequemeres Sofa hat ein wenig gefehlt, so dass wir beide gemütlich hätten sitzen können. Der Pool ist wundervoll und Mara und Franco sind sehr herzliche Gastgeber, die jederzeit ansprechbar waren. Wir haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt. Vielen lieben Dank für die tolle Zeit, Mara und Franco!
