"Beautifull place, ideal location for visiting town of Volterra and other places in Toscany. Very friendly atmosphere. Really enjoyable stay."
Ausstattung der Küche war für deutsche Mieter leicht ungwöhnlich, uns fehlte z.B. eine Kaffeemaschine oder Kaffeefilter, insgesamt aber nett und individualistisch
"Séjour excessivement agréable avec des hôtes d'une grande gentillesse et d'une très grande disponibilité.La maison est excessivement bien situé à quelques minutes de Volterra et à moins d'une heure de Florence, Sienne, Pise...Je recommande sans aucune réserve cette maison à quiconque veut passer un beau séjour en Toscane.
