Details Recensie:
I agree with other reviewers that the photos on the website don't do Le Pergole justice. I've posted additional photos to give a better sense of the beautiful grounds and the amazing views. The location is private and serene, with its own olive grove, cherry trees and two small fish ponds. The view of the Chiesa in Volterra at sunset is spectacular, and goes well with a nice bottle of wine. The spacious, beautiful pool area is set below the level of the house and surrounded on 3 sides by walls, stones and tall trees, combining a real sense of seclusion with a spectacular view of the valley below.
The house is simple, spacious and comfortable inside. It could sleep 6 easily, 8 reasonably well, and 9 at a pinch. That said, we found it the perfect size for just 2.
The kitchen is small but well appointed, and combined with the grill outside, is more than sufficient to cook a beautiful meal for two. Storage space is limited so, for a larger group, you might need an additional trip or two to the market. There's a brick oven in the grill area, though we didn't use it.
There is a small TV with HDMI in the sitting room, if you decide to spend an evening in or need to keep tired kids occupied.
Le Pergole, like the houses in the surrounding valley, is a working farm, so there was a bit of farm noise throughout the day, but never enough to disturb the serenity. If anything, it added to the sense that Le Pergole is a real and special place.
The owner was gracious, friendly and extremely responsive, and welcomed us to La Pergole with a nice bottle of wine from the family's vineyard. The family maintains a small apartment above the wine fermentation shed adjacent to the property. During our visit, it was only occupied in the late evening. It is screened off by a fence, accessed by a separate gate, and during our visit did not interfere with the sense of privacy.
Le Pergole is a rare place and is highly recommended. We will definitely return.
