This was a lovely,
quiet situation with good, easy access to Florence, the Valdarno and Arezzo,on
the edge of a small town. It was a converted farm buiding but completely
separate from the other buildings.
Not really walking
distance to anywhere, so you would need a car.
The buiding was the
converted rabbit house, newly done and everything tip top. It was large,
luminous and very well appointed. There were 3 other such apartments in the
group as well as a larger house.
A small, paved
terrace but no garden. An excellent large swimming pool that we had to
ourselves for the whole of our stay. Super views whilst you swam!!
The studio was very
comfortable, in pristine condition.
We had a
comfortable, antique bed in part of the main room. The bathroom was state of
the art with a great shower, fixtures and fittings all new and top of the
range.
A lovely kitchen,
small but with everything you need for feeding a family let alone a couple. It
was set back from the main room and very nicely done with a full size fridge,
cooker etc.
Some baying dogs at
night was the only problem we encountered. The surprise was the size of the
studio and the quality of everything particularly at the price. Lovely.
We found the agency
to be excellent, they are my reason for commending this property and our
experience. This property is no longer in their portfolio but they do feature
an excellent portfolio of interesting properties particularly in the Lungiana.
Their emphasis is on small village houses and their properties are always very
affordable.
The brochure
understated everything but this is the best way by far. It is an English
company. I will be using them again, possibly for part of our trip this
September.
I would stay there
again but you now have to book direct with the owner at greatly increased
prices.
Easy access to most
of the joys of Tuscany with an easy train ride to Florence. We enjoyed local
trips to the Casentino and Valdarno as well as to the monastery of
Vallombrossa.
