A Dream Holiday in Tuscany

Review Submitted: September 15, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
We arrived in Sinalunga under a typical Tuscan blue sky as the bustling market was just getting into full swing - and what a market! The range of produce and the friendly people was only the beginning of a beautiful 2 week experience in this special town. Once parked we found the apartment building nestled in the 'old town' with views to die for - this gave us our first clue of what to expect knowing that the apartment was one floor up from the cobbled narrow streets. However, on entering the large and beautifully furnished living room/kitchen the window opposite revealed a dream view of the countryside - what a start! The rest of the apartment was a delight with modern bathroom fittings complimenting hand picked antique furniture and oil paintings by the owner.

We throughly enjoyed the company of the owners Laura and Rosalbo who told us of special restaurants to visit and places to see - the place was an absolute find. The only disappointment was how the time just sped by but we will be back without any hesitation. A dream experience that gave us a dream holiday - go and see for yourself and you will not be disappointed!!

Owner's Response: These wonderful reviews have made me feel that my work here in Sinalunga has been, and is, truly worth while. I look forward to welcoming new guests and old whenever possible - you are welcome.

"Too short a Visit"

Review Submitted: May 5, 2011 Date of Stay: April 2011
Laura - Our visit was too short, the scenery, too breathtaking, the food too delicious, and our departure was entirely too painful. Thank you for your hospitality. Listing sights /smells/ tastes/ adventures in Tuscany serves only to lessen them - but we could not fail to mention our serendipitous meeting with Paul the 'mad Professor' and our daily encounters with Giuseppe the delicatessen owner/language coach.
Not goodbye, we will meet again - John and Dana

"What a Spot!!"

Review Submitted: April 26, 2011 Date of Stay: April 2011
Wonderful accommodation, wonderful host.
In the hub of Tuscany, sooo much to see and do. Don't miss the Forcillo
restaurant for it's great food and warm family atmosphere, the Tuesday market in the centre, and Perugia is well worth a visit.
Whatever you do or see - you are guaranteed to enjoy.
A magical place. Thank you,
Lindsay, Peter and Laura

"How Can You Beat That?"

Review Submitted: October 28, 2010 Date of Stay: October 2010
We arrived quite stressed after our first day of driving our rental car in Italy. But quickly settled in and relaxed with helpful hints from Laura.
The scenery in the countryside was awe-inspiring and the wine delicious! Enjoyed the Grotte one evening, sharing a bottle of wine and appetizers,1st and 2nd course (rabbit) all for €35. How can you beat that? Thanks Laura, for keeping such a clean, spacious and comfortable apartment and many many thanks for the free laundry service.
Loved all of it.
