Further details for this holiday apartment rental in Capannoli, Italy

So much to See and Do!!: Tuscany is renowned throughout the world for its breathtaking landscapes, its classical art and its rich history. The rolling Tuscan landscape is punctuated by florentine cypresses, terraces of olives, bursting vinyards and stunning hilltop towns and villages. The cities are packed with cultural attractions, whether you want to browse and photograph the beautiful architecture, visit many of the churches or galleries to appreciate the wealth of medieval and rennaissance art and sculpture. Driving around Tuscany is a visual feast to be enjoyed at leisure. There is so much to appreciate within 45 minutes of Soiana alone. The drive to Volterra, a fabulous hilltop Etruscan city to the south of Soiana, is a beautiful experience. You may want to just stop and paint it!!

So much to Eat!!: Food is one of the great Italian passions and Tuscany is full of fantastic Restaurants, Cafes and Bars. The cuisine is based in simple peasant food relying on basic staples such as olive oil, for which the region is renowned, tomatoes, beans, hams and salamis. Pasta is followed by grilled or roast meats or pan fried fish. Cheeses include Pecorina and Ricotta. Delicious snacks like Bruschetta are a must! The raw materials are all available in the markets and shops - so start cooking!

So much to Drink!!: Tuscany is a great wine producer and probably the most famous is Chianti. Although Brunnello di Montalcino and Sassicaia are considered Tuscany's primo wines, there are many others that are superb. Aperitivos are another wonderful pastime! Enjoy a glass of Prosecco or a Campari Orange at a bar in an old piazza and watch the world go by!!

Other Activities: Relaxing By the Pool!

Sunny Days in Soiana

JMMP Sussex
Review Submitted: September 8, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We had a superb ten day family holiday in August in Soiana.
It was sunny and very hot every day but the air conditioning kept us comfortable inside the apartment. Outside the swimming pool was refreshing, especially after our sighseeing trips.
The property details provided on the website were accurate
and directions we were given from the airport enabled us to find the apartment without any problem.
When we arrived the property was spotlessly clean and we were delighted by the fantastic views from each window.
The owner was extremely friendly and helpful at all times.
Our favourite place was Volterra which is approximately 30 km from Soiana. We also enjoyed Florence and found that travelling by train from Pontedera avoids car parking and driving after a long day sightseeing.
We enjoyed eating at the Pizzeria in the village which is only a two minute walk fron the apartment.
For shopping we always used Coop in Ponssaco which had an amazing selection of cold meat and cheese etc.
We would recommend this property as a base for discovering Tuscany.

Tuscan Paradise!

Review Submitted: August 6, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We have just returned from a week in this wonderful apartment – it was everything we had hoped for and more. We found it a stunning place to stay and loved eating breakfast looking out over the Tuscan countryside. The views were amazing from every window and it really was more beautiful in the flesh.

We loved the lovely soft towels, guide and cookery books! The air conditioning was also a real bonus as the weather was very hot. If you are a light sleeper it can be slightly noisy outside, but the beds were lovely and the apartment had every luxuy you could want and we were extremely comfortable. We ate in some amazing restaurants and highly recommend Ristorante Beni in Casciana Terme – the best by far – you need to book at weekends. There were also some other great restaurants in Casciane including Il Merlot, Sapori D’Oriente, La Carrabachia and Il due Laghi. We also loved Villa Arianna in Lari (lovely people – superb food) and La Vecchie Cantine in Chianni.
There were also some great markets - Ponsacco on Tuesday, Casciana Terme – Thursday (very small – some clothes and food), Pontedera – Friday (fantastic and very big!) and Forte Dei Marmi – Saturday (upmarket).

A very big thanks to Nic - a superb holiday and we can't wait to return!

Ideal base for discovering Tuscany

Dadsk Bebington, Wirral, UK
Review Submitted: August 4, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Apartment was clean and accommodating - photographs are a true reflection of the high standard indicated.
Excellent communication with the owner who provided all details in a friendly and timely manner.
Would have no hesitation recommending this property, and the area, to anyone wishing to visit Tuscany.
Village amenities are in short supply (small shop, newsagent / tobacconist and restaurant); however, several shops and restaurants are within a short driving distance.

Tuscan dream in Soiana.

Kew berkshire
Review Submitted: August 13, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
Property even more lovely than the pictures suggest.
It was exactly what we hoped for.
Fantastic views from each window across the countryside.
Beautiful rooms in an old palace, high ceilings and very spacious.
Spotlessly clean and beautifully furnished, all bedding and towels provided. The kitchen was well stocked, although there isn't an oven, just a hob to cook on.
Quiet air-con in each room which was very necessary in the heat of the summer.
The pool was gorgeous, and it was cleaned every couple of days.
Restaurant 100 yards from the garden where the freshest Italian meals we have ever had were prepared for us-wonderful. Every local village has restaurants so there is plenty of choice.
40 stairs upto the property so you need to be able to cope with that every time you to and fro!
An excellent base to stay in whilst visiting Siena, San Gimignano, Volterra (by far our favourite, as beautiful as the other places but far less touristy), Lucca and Pisa.
Thoroughly recommended.

Herrliches Apartement für Familie mit Kinder

HelmutundAndrea Klein-Pöchlarn,NÖ,Österreich
Review Submitted: April 16, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
Diese Ferienwohnung in Soiana mit 2 Schlafzimmer , 2 Bäder und überkomplett ausgestattete Küche war für unsere Familie (2 Kinder 8 und 9 Jahre) der ideale Ausgangspunkt unserer Tagestouren.Die Wohnung ist sehr rein und neuwertig.Pisa,San Gimignano, Siena, Casciana Therme und die Westküste waren unsere Ausflugsziele und sind innerhalb einer Stunde mit dem Auto zu erreichen.
Soiana, ein Ort mit einigen hundert Einwohnern liegt auf einem Hügel umgeben von Olivenbäumen und Weinbergen.Das Lebensmittelgeschäft von Lea liegt gegenüber.Post und Fleischhauer sowie ein einfaches Restaurant (geöffnet ab 18:00) sind 100 Meter entfernt.
Der Kontakt mit dem Vermieter war sehr freundlich.Eine genaue Wegbeschreibung sowie Details zur Schlüsselübergabe machten uns diese Ferienwohnung schon im Vorfeld vertraut.Auch die Bezahlung mit Banküberweisung und Kaution Vorort wurden vom Vermieter akzeptiert.
Für uns war es ein herrliche Woche in der Toskana mit schönem Wetter und freundlichen Leuten in Soiana.
Zur Zeit sicher noch ein Insidertipp!
Für Personen denen das Stiegensteigen schwer fällt nicht zu empfehlen.
