Nieuwe Recensie ingezonden voor Monsignor Della Casa: Suite gelegen in Borgo San Lorenzo, Toscane, Italië.

Huurperiode: zaterdag 19 september 2009.
Beoordeling Huurder: 5/5.
Details Recensie:
Our welcome to the villa was warm and friendly, even though we arrived very late at 11.45pm. We were brought to our villa where there was champagne and a basket of fruit waiting for us , which was a really lovely way to start our honeymoon.
The villa was cosy and the resort itself was beautiful. The resort was quiet with a charming rustic feel. We spent a few of our days relaxing by the pool by the wellness centre. As there was no children allowed at this pool it was always quiet, most days no one else was there. Sometimes there was not a sound which was so peaceful and the view form the pool was amazing.
The restaurant was quaint and again had that rustic country feel. They served a different Tuscan special each night.The dinners were expensive however it was worth it to stay on the gorunds and have a quiet evening with wine and good food.
The staff were more then friendly and ever so helpful.
There was not much at all to complain about and as the overall place was beautiful the complaints we had did not bother us muchat all during our stay. The villa itself was spacious, apart from the bathroom which we found quite small. There was no bath in our particular villa and the shower was very small. We also assumed that your villa would be cleaned maybe once a week and any EXTRA cleaning you had to pay for. However, it turned out the villa was never cleaned unless you paid for it. They left clean towels in the villa maybe twice a week, however, did not take the old towels away, so we had quite a build up of dirty towels and 2 dirty table cloths-there was no basket or anything to leave them in - as far as we were aware.
Also, when you lit the fire, the villa smelled of smoke for the rest of your stay. It did not bother us a great deal though as it sort of added to that country rustic feel. The Spa was beautiful,however,we would have spent more time there if you did not have to pay 20euro a go each. We thought this was a bit much, especially if you only wanted to soak in the jacuzzi for half an hour.We went twice in our 2 weeks due to the price. As part of the resort I feel this should be a free facility. Tennis and cycling was free though.
Overall, we would rate our stay at Monsignor della Casa about 7/10. The only things that brought this down were the things mentioned above, mainly the cleaning and the spa usage. As a finalist for the great hotels of the world in 2009, we would expect that it should be 9/10 at least - a better cleaning service would definitely bring it up to 8or 9.
I would most certainly return , but maybe only for 1 week at most and I would definitely recommend it for a relaxing break. Thank you to all at Monsignor Della Casa.

Nieuwe Recensie ingezonden voor Villa Fabbroni: Il Padronale gelegen in San Polo In Chianti, Toscane, Italië.

Huurperiode: zaterdag 12 september 2009.
Beoordeling Huurder: 5/5.

We were all extremely pleased with Villa Fabbroni and our stay there.
Stephano was wonderfully helpful, keeping our wine jugs filled, making two beautiful, delicious large pizzas for Tuesday night dinner, and arranging a fabulous birthday dinner for fourteen of us on Friday night. We enjoyed the beautiful Tuscan scenery, visited wineries and explored hill towns during the day; had social time in the lovely large living room and cooked Tuscan meals in the more than adequate kitchen at night. A perfect holiday.

Nieuwe Recensie ingezonden voor Torre Del Cielo gelegen in Monterchi, Toscane, Italië.

Details Recensie:
Our party of 8 stayed at Torre del Cielo from 12 Sep to 19 Sep 2009. The wesbite photos cannot possibly show the charm of this villa. The grounds have multiple seating areas, 2 for dining & others for sitting or strolling. The landscaping is magnificent as is the inground pool. The views from the pool & gardens areas are breathtaking. The Apennine Mountains can be see in the distance as well as the small villages nearby. The night sky has so many stars unable to be seen from any urban or suburban area. Ripoli was a very small town but the nearby residents were so friendly, even with a language barrier. If you rent a car, be sure to visit the small towns, they are charming. The rooms in the villa are terrific. Each bedroom & bath with shower was comfortable & very roomy & clean. The common areas had pleanty of seating & the dining room easily accomodated all 8 of us. The kitchen has all necessary items for cooking/eating. Our host/owner (Signore Rosado Rosadi) was most helpful & very kind. He speaks English very well & is very knowledgeable about the surrounding areas. He was a gracious host. Also, the freezer had ice cube trays (for any Americans interested)---believe me, it is not easy to find them in many places! Signore Rosadi had even stocked some staple food items for our arrival. The washing machine worked fine & we hung our clothes on drying racks to dry. An ironing board & iron are also in the laundry room. We would rate this as a Five Star place to stay (the highest rating in America). We would highly recommend this villa to anyone thinking of staying in this area. It was well worth the money & the fun we had was priceless & the memories endless...

Grazie, Signore Rosadi
