Photos and Description of this Poppi holiday villa Private pool, near Firenze, 5 bedrooms, sleeps 12

Casa Fantone is a large detached Tuscan farmhouse, 300 years old, remodelled and updated with a wide private garden of 5 hectares and a private pool of 6 x 12 meters. The villa lies in a quiet hill near Poppi village, 30 km to Arezzo and 50 to Florence, and it has a good level of furniture. The villa has modern kitchen and bathroom facilities, but it still gives one the feeling of stepping back in history. The villa, made by stones, is exposed to the sun and it has a fantastic view on the Casentino valley. Absolute privacy and a maximum of security are guaranteed, also because the property is fenced in and the access is possible only through an automatic gate. A typical Tuscan terrace close to the kitchen can be an opportunity to have your breakfast or to drink a glass of Chianti with your friends looking down at the beautiful valley. In the terrace you will also discover an ancient baking oven which could hold at least 20 pizzas at a time. If only those walls could talk!

Absolutely Fabulous!

mk/jr Redondo Beach, California
Review Submitted: November 4, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
Casa Fantone is a Tuscan jewel. The setting is beautiful, the house is immaculate and Gianfranco and his wife are warm, charming and helpful. Our group of six consisited of four adults and two children age eight and eleven. Everyone found something fun to do including a lot of pool time and ping pong play off (be warned, the ping pong balls are easy to lose!) Day trips to Florence, Arrezo and Cortona were easy and there was the pool to cool off in when we got back. Gianfranco was available anytime we needed help arranging a surprise birthday party in Quota or just making dinner reservations in Italian for us. The breakfast was so delicious. It was nice to have time to visit with out host and hostess. The restaurant in Quota we found to be quite charming. La Torricella and Casentino in Poppi were both more upscale and enjoyable as well. All in all we would highly recommend Casa Fantone and are definitly planning to return.

Location für unseren Fotoworkshop 2009

Review Submitted: October 11, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
Es gibt sicher wenig schönere Alternativen wie dieses einmalige Ferienhaus von Gianfranco. Der große Garten mit Gemüse und reifen Früchten verwöhnte unsere Fotogruppe mit 10 Teilnehmern. Nicht zu vergessen das Willkommensfrühstück bei Gianfranco und seiner Frau zu Hause mit toskanischen Spezialitäten. Unser Srinter musste 2 Tage in die Werkstatt nach Arezzo. Hier organisierte und telefonierte Gianfranco und fuhr uns sogar nach Poppi zum Einkaufen.
Das Haus liegt in einer einmaligen Landschaft, ideal zum Wandern und Ausflüge ins Casentino zu unternehmen.

Review Submitted: September 27, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
The description of the house is correct. The house is clean and located in a beautiful landscape, without neighbors. The pool was great and the children did enjoy a lot.
But, the presence of the owner was a bit disturbing the romance of our holiday. He showed up every day at different moments without a plausible reason to us. The second but last day at 10AM he even stood on the terrace at the rear of the house. This made us leave a day earlier.
Owner's Response: This year we had no rain in July and August. So at the end of August I ( the owner ) had to give water to the young olive trees of the property, about 200 meters from the villa.
I spent at my village, Monday morning of that week, with my guests for the welcome breakfast. This means to be on familiar terms with them. So, as i wrote to them, if my presence was a problem, they had to tell me it.

Sehr schönes Haus in toller Lage

Review Submitted: December 31, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
Sehr gepflegtes Haus in absolut ruhiger Lage (keine Nachbarn) großem Garten ,schönem Pool und einer
fantastischen Aussicht !
Gianfranco-der Besitzer-ist ein ausserordentlich netter
und unkomplizierter Gastgeber der stets bemüht ist,
seinen Gästen das beste zu bieten-angefangen vom
"Willkommenfrühstück" bei ihm zu Hause bis zu
frischem Obst und Gemüse aus dem Garten.
Poppi (ca.4 km entfernt) ist eine sehr schöne "Kleinstadt"
mit allem was man zum Leben braucht...
Wir können das Haus nur empfehlen und werden sicherlich
dort wieder Urlaub machen.
