From the moment we arrived we were so happy with this place.

The apartment had everything we could possibly need and was very clean and comfortable.

The pool area was amazing, very peaceful at times and great fun at others.The pool was of such a good size that it was never crowded.

The play area was a great shady retreat for our youngest who could have played in the sandpit forever.

The estate with fields full of race horses was nice to walk around in the evening as the sun was going down.

The outdoor seating areas were perfect for lunch or a bottle of wine in the evening.

Paola the owner was so helpful and went out her way to ensure everyone was looked after.

When one of the kids needed hospital treatment she led us to the hospital in Pisa and stayed with us all the time to ensure we got seen to quickly and got the right treatment.

We can not thank Paola enough for a wonderful stay.

Normally after a 2 week holiday we are ready to come home but we could have stayed here forever.

We didnt feel the need to do too many day trips as the place was so relaxing and enjoyable but we did venture to Lucca twice, Florence, Volterra and San Gimignano, all were within easy reach and well worth visiting.

There wasn't a huge amount of restaurants in the immediate vicinity to chose from for evening meals but this didnt bother us and one in a neighbouring village surrounded by fields of sunflowers served us very well with excellent pizza, pasta and steaks cooked to perfection.

We would highly recommend this place to anyone young or old it was perfect for our family of 5 so thank you Paola we hope to meet again.
