Fantastic stay!
We had a great 5-day stay with our children (ages 7 & 9). The apartment had everything we needed, and communication was excellent both before and during and our stay. This a great basecamp for exploring—we did day trips to Pisa, Lucca, Bolgheri, and Volterra and then spent every afternoon at the lovely pool. Thank you Massimiliano & Roberta!

Lovely house and pool in the heart of Tuscany, surrounded by vineyards and olive groves.
Everything was great at Roberta and Massimiliano’s lovely house. Communication prior to booking was quick and easy, check-in was also trouble free as they live on-site. The house and garden had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay, perhaps the only other thing that would have been helpful was an electric kettle, but we were able to boil water for drinks on the stove. The shower was great and all the beds were really comfy. Massimiliano is very friendly and told us about everywhere that was recommended for a visit and he has even put together a tourist guidebook for residents to use. Thank you Massimiliano, if we are back in Tuscany, we will definitely return.

Perfect Italian base to explore Tuscany
Good communication with the owners from initial booking enquiry. Description and photos on advert are exactly as advertised. Massimiliano was extremely welcoming, informative and friendly, he shared his home made wines and olive oils with us, along with produce from his father's garden, all of which were greatly received and enjoyed. We had our own parking space alotted to us, which was fantastic. The pool is fantastic, clean and a perfect size, absolute delight after a day of exploring. The garden is immaculate and well kept, a joy to sit in the sun. The owners have also 2 tortoises which we loved to watch on our way to the pool. We also loved sitting on the balcony of an evening watching the sun go down over the Tuscan hills while savouring a lovely glass of wine. Great base for exploring the neighbouring cities of Florence, Pisa, Lucca, Livorno and the beautiful countryside. It has been a perfect Italian adventure for our family of four and would highly recommend this accommodation to everyone.

Perfect Tuscan Stay Experience
In the heart of a small village, this extremely clean and comfortable property had commanding views over the valley and to watch glorious sunsets, while dining or sipping Tuscan wine from the balcony. There was plenty of space for our family of 3, and sleeping was very comfortable (AC was a bonus). The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals through our week long stay. We explored nearby towns and cities (all within easy driving distance), during the days (aided by excellent recommendations from Massimiliano), before returning to cool off by the perfect, very private swimming pool late afternoon to dusk. We felt we got a true taste of small Tuscan village life, hilltop towns (San Gimignano, Terricciola and Volterra) and bigger cities (e.g., Florence and Livorno), as well as a Sunday beach visit to Cecina with all locals. We had a very memorable dinner in nearby (5 minute drive) Casciana Terme on our last night at Garibaldi Innamorato. We enjoyed the tour and wine tasting at nearby Azienda Agricola Castelvecchio. We thank Massimiliano and his family for allowing us to have this experience in their well maintained and thoughtfully laid out property. Massimiliano was very accommodating, very responsive to messaging and was easy to communicate with. We have no hesitation in recommending a stay here. We would return.

Urlaub in der Weinstadt
Wir haben unseren Familienurlaub in dieser tollen Unterkunft sehr genossen. Sie war besser als wir erwartet hatten. Die Klimaanlage (Wohnzimmer und ein Schlafzimmer) und der Pool sorgen für herrliche Abkühlung. Massimiliano säubert den Pool jeden Morgen und wir hatten den Garten immer für uns als Familie. Wir haben alle Annehmlichkeiten geschätzt. Auch die Empfehlungen von Massimiliano und die Weinverkostung waren wertvoll. Wir konnten sogar die Weinnacht miterleben. Für das selbstgemachte Olivenöl und den selbst hergestellten Wein sind wir dankbar und haben noch eine Flasche Öl gekauft. Die Kommunikation mit Massimiliano war einwandfrei. Wir würden wiederkommen. Vielen Dank für alles!

Eine empfehlenswerte Unterkunft
Unsere Familie mit vier Kindern hat den Aufenthalt in der Ferienwohnung sehr genossen. Die Wohnung ist sauber und liebevoll eingerichtet. Die Gastgeber haben uns sehr freundlich willkommen geheißen und unsere Fragen zwischendurch hilfreich beantwortet. Obwohl die Gastgeberfamilie direkt unten drunter wohnt, haben wir fast nichts von ihnen gehört. Der Garten und der Pool sind einfach klasse! Hier kann man wirklich zur Ruhe kommen. Unsere Kinder haben jede freie Minute dort verbracht. In der Wohnung gibt es ein großes Wohn- und Esszimmer mit guter Ausstattung. Einzig eine "normale" Kaffeemaschine haben wir vermisst, aber wir haben uns arrangiert. Das Elternschlafzimmer ist großzügig und neben dem Wohnzimmer ebenso klimatisiert. Es gibt ein weiteres Schlafzimmer mit drei Betten und ein Schlafzimmer mit einem Bett. Dieses Zimmer ist gleichzeitig auch das Durchgangszimmer um über eine schmale und steile Wendeltreppe in den Garten zu kommen. Das WLAN war manchmal etwas schwach, was für uns aber keinen Punkteabzug bedeutet, denn es aktiviert einen eher das Handy weg zu legen... Die Landschaft ist sehr schön, die Toskana, so wie man sie sich vorstellt. Die Wohnung befindet sich in einem kleinen Dorf, welches touristisch nicht überlaufen ist. Man lebt hier wirklich mit den Einheimischen zusammen. Die Gastgeber haben ein kleines Heft mit Tipps für Ausflüge und sonstigen zusammengestellt. Meistens waren wir etwa eine Stunde unterwegs zu den verschiedenen Ausflugsorten.

Tolle Wohnung in toller Lage!
Die Wohnung ist großzügig, sauber und einfach nur schön. Massimiliano hat uns mit selbstgemachten Wein und Olivenöl begrüßt, seine Tipps für die Pizzerien in der Nähe waren super. Die Lage der Wohnung ist perfekt für Ausflüge in die vielen wunderschönen Städte (wir waren in Lucca, Lari, Sienna, Pisa, San Gimignano, Volterra, Florenz). Dabei sieht man auch viel von der wunderschönen Landschaft. Das Meer ist auch nicht weit. Dank der Klimaanlagen in der Wohnung und des traumhaften Pools, ließ sich auch die Hitze gut aushalten. Also, volle Empfehlung!

Tolle Wohnung, sehr nette Vermieter und viel gesehen
Lieber Massimilliano, liebe Roberta, Vielen Dank das wir in eurer wunderschönen Ferienwohnung unseren 1Toskaner Urlaub verbringen durften. Die Wohnung ist wirklich so, wie in der Anzeige beschrieben und wir haben uns sehr Wohl gefühlt. Vielen Dank auch, für das sehr leckere Olivenöl und den Wein. Die Wohnung ist wirklich ideal um Tagesausflüge zu unternehmen, ohne extrem weite Strecken zurückzulegen. Alle Highlights wie zb Pisa, Volterra und Siena sind recht schnell zu erreichen. Tankstellen gibt es auch ausreichend in der Nähe. Selbst zum Einkaufen ist es nicht weit. Zu erwähnen ist noch der tolle Pool, an dem man wunderbar die heißen Temperaturen ertragen kann. Die Aussicht vom Balkon ist sowohl tagsüber als auch abends einfach Klasse. Alles in allem hätten wir es wahrscheinlich nicht treffen können und würden gerne irgendwann wiederkommen, denn wir haben noch einige Sehenswürdigkeiten auf unserer Liste.

Appartamento confortevole caldo ben accessoriato, asciugamani e lenzuola fornite dai proprietari. Abbiamo trascorso delle splendide vacanze. Pulito, ristrutturato e ottima accoglienza con informazioni sulle località da visitare. Consigliato davvero. Posto auto a disposizione. Noi eravamo tre coppie sistemate nelle tre stanze a disposizione e i letti erano comodi per tutti. Il posto è defilato, ma in poco tempo si raggiungono delle belle località toscane.

Danke für den schönen Urlaub!
Meine Freundin und ich waren zusammen mit einem befreundetem Ehepaar und ihren 2 Kindern (2 und 4) für 2 Wochen in Robertas und Massimilianos Unterkunft. Empfangen wurden wir mit leckerem selbstgemachten Wein und Olivenöl, von dem wir am Ende unseres Urlaubs noch ein paar Flaschen mitgenommen haben. Wir hatten sofort ein Gefühl von Geborgenheit und Entspannung. Alles an der Unterkunft ist mit so viel Liebe zum Detail gestaltet, angefangen bei der Küche, den Zimmern, inklusive Spielecke für die Kinder, dem Balkon, bis hin zum Garten mit Grill, Pool und kleinem Kräutergarten, alles war gepflegt und sauber. Massimiliano und seine Familie leben in der Wohnung unter der Unterkunft von wo aus er sich um alles kümmert. Wir haben uns jedoch nie in unserer Privatsphäre eingeschränkt gefühlt, da alles perfekt abgetrennt ist durch Hecken und Sträucher. Er war ein hervorragender und super sympathischer Gastgeber und stand uns immer zur Verfügung wenn wir etwas gebraucht haben. Die Unterkunft selbst liegt in einer kleinen Ortschaft von der aus man alles in kürzester Zeit erreichen kann. Wir haben mehrer Tagesausflüge unternommen, entweder zum Meer oder um die umliegenden Städte und Dörfer zu besichtigen, die uns Massimiliano empfohlen hat. Oft sind wir aber auch einfach in der Unterkunft geblieben und haben den täglich gepflegten Pool genutzt und die Sonne im Garten genossen. Es war der perfekte Ort um mal wieder richtig zu entspannen und die Schönheit der Toskana zu genießen. Für uns waren das 2 Wochen im Paradies. Danke Roberta und Massimiliano!

Relaxing Bliss In The Middle Of Natural Beauty
Communications with Roberta and Massimiliano were both easy and swift. I always had a reply within a couple of hours of sending a message and that is very impressive. The property is attached to their home but it is cleverly separated and you get your own front door (climbing one flight of stairs) and your own landscaped garden with a fantastic pool (reached via metal spiral staircase), Inside are three well sized bedrooms (double, double with single and a single), a well proportioned bathroom with shower cubicle, toilet, bidet and basin. They supply all towels and bedding and these are also good quality. They also provide toiletries like shampoo and there is plenty of storage space. The living room is a little unusual as it encompasses living room, dining room and kitchenette area. Big sofa but I'm not sure it could fit 4 people. The dining table is in the middle of the room and sits 4 and on one side are cupboards and hob including large fridge and separate freezer, microwave and oven. On the opposite side is a small alcove with sink and drainer facilities, Set up is a little odd but you soon get very used to it. The outside garden is reached through the small single bedroom and there is a lovely balcony that gets early morning shade and there is a table and four chairs for those who want breakfast al-fresco. Down a steel spiral staircase gets you to a cordoned off walk-through to the garden and pool. This area is well maintained and very peaceful during the day. Areas of shade are available for those who want protection and they also provide some sun loungers and chairs and table. Pool is good size and great fun. The actual village is small and compact with only a small store about 150m uphill walk away. However, there is a well stocked supermarket just a five minute drive away. There is public transport that is close to the property (bus stop 100m uphill) but we had a car and we had a dedicated parking space (even under a little tree so you get some protection from the blazing sun). This is over the road from the property and easy to get in and out of. The location is great and central with Pisa about 30mins away, Florence (Firenze) is just over an hour away and we visited Lucca which is recommended (40 mins). Tourist info book is also in the villa and details lots of local places to visit. Village has lots of dogs which sometimes we heard but noise was not excessive. We had a fantastic stay and Massimiliano & family are very welcoming.

Excellent - homely and well equipped
Our family of four (including a 4 year old and an 18 month old) settled in immediately. The apartment has everything we needed, air conditioning, an excellent shower, comfortable beds, spacious, well-furnished rooms and a beautiful garden and pool area. Massimiliano's welcome as host made us feel immediately at home. We were looking forward to cooking with fresh Italian ingredients and the kitchen is perfect for this. We have rented many holiday homes in the past and this has by far the best equipped kitchen - high quality cookware, a modern oven, gas hob, a large fridge-freezer and ample tableware, glasses and cutlery. Can't fault it. With the children, the apartment is perfect. One bedroom has a small play kitchen and games/toys - ideal when the heat gets too much for the kids to be outside and a safe haven to let them play while sorting food or preparing for their bed time! Location wise, it's a ideal base to explore the most beautiful of Tuscan towns and countryside. Adding to a previous visit to Tuscany, we visited San Gimignano, Volterra, Lari, Lucca, Bolgheri and Livorno, spending afternoons by the pool. We would love to come back again one day.

Remarquable
Massimiliano et sa famille nous ont très bien accueilli dans leur magnifique et coquette maison. Nous avons apprécié leur gentillesse et leur générosité. Nous étions un couple et deux ados, chacun a pu profiter de l'espace du gite (chambres agréables, spacieuses et bien décorées). La climatisation est impeccable, efficace et modulable. Le panorama de la Toscane avec vue du balcon (où l'on peut manger tranquillement) est vraiment sympa. Nous avons visité Volterra, Pise, Lucca, Florence, Lari et la mer à Terrenia (29 degrés). On espère pouvoir revenir afin de profiter de tous les jolis coins que nous n'avons pas pu voir......
