Genuine Tuscan Country Life (incl. pool area)
Review Submitted: July 29, 2009

After many vacations in different holiday resorts we decided 4 years ago, to approach Italy in a very different way. We planed to rent a farmhouse, with a private garden and a pool - preferable in Tuscany. After some searching through the web I made a list of relevant houses and start calling the owner to ask for prices and to get a feeling about the owner.
4 years and 4 summer vacations at La Bozza, here is my first review: Positive: La Bozza is a truly old farmhouse. You can actually feel the history of the house. The rooms are individually furnished with antiques (among others a discarded old church bench of the owner family), on the walls you find beautiful black and white photographs of Cortonese people around 1920 – "the good old times". Also positive: the garden area of the house is very large, quiet and well kept – right outside of the garden area you see sunflowers and tuscan hills crowned by stone pines. The pool area is just wonderful; especially the kids enjoyed this part of the house. Negative: it rained one day.
The positive first impression I got from Mr. Catani on the phone, has been confirmed many times – beside that he speaks excellent English, he is a gentle smart man, discreet, very helpful and he solves problems subito :-) looking forward to be back next summer!!!
