A real chill-out time in beautiful surroundings
Review Submitted: August 24, 2009

A very secluded property set amidst olive trees and vines. The ideal spot for a couple or family who enjoy the countryside. We were a couple for the first week, then our daughters (23 and 25) joined us for the second week. We had already visited the area before and had seen Siena, Pisa, Florence etc...so just chilled by the big pool, sunbathed in the tranquil gardens, barbecued and sampled the local wine. Casole D'Elsa was a picturesque hilltop village which provided any evening entertainment and diversions. Husband hired mountain bike and also took many arty photos of scenery, while I swam in pool and read. Daughters enjoyed walking to village to buy provisions to barbecue. (We did find that the food costs had risen steeply since our last visit 2 years ago...not just to euro/pound exchange rate.)But, all in all a wonderful holiday in a beautiful setting.Property was very good and fine for the four of us, however...narrow spiral staircase linking 3 floors may not be ideal for those with small children or the elderly. Daniela was very friendly, and helpful. We would recommend this to like-minded travellers.
