I hired the whole villa for my family of 4 as we wanted privacy and that's exactly what we got. The villa is incredibly gorgeous, with everything you could possibly need, the views are spectacular and Claudia and Enrico are superb hosts.
Claudia cooked an evening meal and breakfast for us when we arrived, we have not stopped talking about how delicious it was!
I misunderstood the dynamics of the villa and didn't realise that my children (9 and 12yrs) would have their own apartment, with kitchen and their own front door key! My children were thrilled with this but I was apprehensive with them locking themselves in their rooms at night and me not being able to get in. Claudia quickly resolved this by getting me an extra set of keys cut to put my mind at ease! To be honest though, it was just me overreacting as the villa is extremely secluded and gated!
The pool is simply fantastic, deep enough to dive in with plenty of loungers. We didn't leave the villa for days on end, it was a perfect way to relax.
One thing that you must realise when booking this property is that it's deep in the countryside so you must expect lots of wildlife, which mostly for us was a delight with birds, lizards, deer, hedgehogs and donkeys but obviously lots of mosquitos. We were bitten quite a lot and Claudia gave us a mosquito net which did help. I would highly recommend you are prepared for this though. In the UK, when my children see a fly or bee in the garden, they go running inside, in Tuscany however there is no getting away from it and after a day or so I found them completely ignoring anything that flew their way! Definitely did them the world of good.
I cannot recommend this villa enough, definitely our best holiday ever!!
