06-2011 Like being in paradise Tim and Friends

Over the years we have stayed in many beautiful villas and cottages in France and Spain, but nothing compares with this.

Set in amazing countryside, within easy driving distance of Pisa, Lucca, Firenze and the coast, the property is full of charm and character with every conceivable amenity.

The enormous garden is immaculately maintained with a gorgeous swimming pool and a great 'al fresco' catering area (a huge barbie).

Paola and Stephano are the friendliest and most helpful hosts you could wish to meet and Paola has some great tips on places to visit.

If you like the countryside, great weather and Italian cuisine, truly friendly hosts and a place to relax an unwind, this is the place to be.

Our only complaint is we didn't stay long enough: so we are returning in September for another slice of paradise.

We would recommend the experience to everyone.
