Nieuwe Recensie ingezonden voor La Madonnina gelegen in Camaiore, Toscane, Italië.

Huurperiode: zaterdag 11 juni 2011.
Beoordeling Huurder: 5/5.
Details Recensie:
[Owner reply: We have made many improvements and upgrades (including new sofas and chairs covers and replaced the linen) that could not be done during the rental season and the villa is now really in good condition.] We were generally disappointed with our stay at La Madonnina. A combination of the price charged, the photos published of the villa on the website and the description on the website had led us to believe that we would be staying in a beautifully appointed and luxurious property. The opposite was in fact the case. The general standard of the fixtures and fittings in the villa were shabby and well worn. For example, the sink in the kitchen leaked badly into the cupboard below resulting in an unpleasant smell and making that cupboard unusable. In addition, the linen in the property was stained, threadbare and mismatched. The sofas in the sitting room are badly stained and very uninviting. The cushions for the sunloungers were covered in cat hair and stains. The crockery and kitchenware in the kitchen was old, damaged and of poor quality. The washing machine and tumble dryer in the laundry were in a terrible state - they are old-fashioned and inefficient and rusting. None of these met the standard which I would expect given the price asked for this villa and the description it is given as a "luxury" villa. The photos on the website were obviously taken when the villa had been newly refurbished (and this must have been some time ago). The reality was very different from that shown in the photos.

The location of the villa also lets it down. The access road was far narrower and steeper than we were prepared for. In addition, there was no signage to indicate the villa's location which resulted in considerable confusion on arrival. We had also not been made aware that the villa was sited in amongst some other properties. This meant that the peace which we had anticipated was not realised. For example, we had to put up with the noise of a cement mixer in an adjoining property and the noise of howling and barking dogs (especially at night) from another property.

Great location ... the pictures to not do it justice. Owners were a pleasure to deal with and would book again.

Nieuwe Recensie ingezonden voor Maesta Dei Mori gelegen in Lucignano, Toscane, Italië.

Huurperiode: zaterdag 25 juni 2011.
Beoordeling Huurder: 4/5.
Details Recensie:
We considered ourselves lucky to have found this wonderful house close to the village of Lucignano! The location is excellent for days trips (Cortona, Siena, Montepulciano), but a peaceful oasis if you feel like going nowhere. The kitchen is not fancy, but had all the right tools for preparing meals with fresh local food. The bedrooms were all comfortable, and the bathrooms were spotless. The owners were lovely: friendly and helpful when we needed them, but unobtrusive. The pool area was beautifully kept with an outdoor dining area and lounges/umbrellas. Our only regret was that our stay was not longer than one week!

Great location, close to sienna and San Gimigano.
Especially the Rosa Bianca location is greatly refurbished, with authentic atmosphere in every room of the appartment.

Very suitable to hold 2 families, since the 3 bathrooms all are nice and spacious.

Nieuwe Recensie ingezonden voor Casa Di Vignolo gelegen in Pergine Valdarno, Toscane, Italië.

Huurperiode: zaterdag 18 juni 2011.
Beoordeling Huurder: 4/5.

This was a charming villa with a real Old World feel in a lovely little village. It was very hot during a couple of days but there was a nice breeze at night to cool the house when you sleep with the windows open. One drawback is the lack of screens or shutters. We were uncomfortable keeping windows wide open during the whole night (just a personal preference, because insects were not an issue), even though the village was extremely safe. We loved sitting on the front porch at night! The steps to the 2nd floor could be concern for older travelers or young children, as there is no railing. Overall, a wonderful place to stay with a good central location to visit Pisa, Florence, Siena, and the many wineries. The property was very easy to book and customer service with Easy Reserve was wonderful.
