Was waren die Highlights Ihres Urlaubs? Die Mille Miglia, die wir hinter Sancepulcro an dem Freitag in einer Kurve in den Bergen bewundert haben. Aber auch die Städte Arezzo, San Gimignano, Radda in Chianti, Greve in Chinati und Castellina in Chianti waren ein Besuch wert. Ein Spaziergang nach S. Sano und Lecchi durch die Weinberge war ein weiteres Erlebnis und der Abschlussabend in der Tatorria in S. Sano war wahrlich ein Genuss.
Wie war Ihr Gesamteindruck der Unterbrungung? Die Lage der Unterkunftr war sehr schön, der Blick über die Weinberge, die drei Terassen, wo sich jeder auch einmal bis auf die unterste Terasse zum Lesen, Träumen, Zeichnen zurückziehen konnte. Die Wohnung war geschmackvoll ausgestattet, die Küche für italienische Verhältnisse perfekt. Auch die zwei Bäder für zwei Pärchen waren sehr gut. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Den Swimmingpool haben wir nachmittags ein paarmal genutzt, was nach einer Tour sehr angenehm war.
Gab es unangenehme Überraschungen? Nein.
Haben Sie andere Anmerkungen? Es gab zwei winzige Kleinigkeiten, die in der Wohnung gestört hatten: die Toilittenspülung in dem Bad, wo die Waschmaschine stand, hatte getropft und das Fliegengitter in dem Schlafzimmer mit den bodentiefen Fenstern war kaput. Wir haben ersteres lösen können, da es ja wir zwei Bäder hatten und abends nur noch das zweite Bad genutzt. Das bodentiefe Fenster haben wir abends nicht geöffnet, was auch in Ordnung war, da der Raum sehr hoch war.

What were the highlights of your stay? Hearing a cuckoo call in the morning; dining at La Grotta de la Rana; walking through the vineyards; relatively easy access to the places we wanted to visit; the peace & quiet we luxuriated in after a day's sightseeing.
What was your overall impression of the accommodation? A great location, with a spectacular view over the vineyards; well equipped; a bedspread & rug which enabled us to remove the duvet. This was invaluable, as we both find the duvets generally provided in rental accommodation far too hot, which means a poor night's sleep.
Did you have any unpleasant surprises during your stay with us? Getting a flat tyre on the way out over the dirt road & finding a narrower spare tyre in the boot! Noone had told us that this is common practice in Europe.. we thought Hertz had made a mistake in fitting the spare.
Do you have any other comments regarding the accommodation or service? Forewarn people about the practice of supplying inferior spare tyres in Europe. Internet access would've been useful e.g. to reserve seats on the flight out. There was very little for English speakers to watch on the TV apart from BBC World & Al Jazeera English, not that that was a great problem.

What were the highlights of your stay? Ohhh sooo many. Loved all the nearby towns, the view of the the vineyard from our terrace.
What was your overall impression of the accommodation? Very clean and exactly what the pictures and description showed us.
Did you have any unpleasant surprises during your stay with us? We had some ants in our place but went out and bought some spray, nothing major. We have them sometimes at home too....it didn't reflect anything negative on the place.
Do you have any other comments regarding the accommodation or service? It would be great if you oculd have the option of buying sample sized bottles (250ml's) of laundry detergent, dish washer soap, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper. To go and but those items in the grocery store is a waste because you have to get such a large bottles of everythnig that you don't end up using them and more than likely they are thrown out.

What were the highlights of your holiday? Motoring through Chianti.
what was your overall impression of the accommodation? The villa was clean and satisfying. Some comments include no soap/shampoo holder in the shower recess which was an inconvenience. Our strongest complaint was carrying our heavy luggage from the car park to the villa Pesci R which was situated some 100 metres away and accessed by a soft gravel path making extreme hard work of transporting the luggage on a trolley. It resembled trudging through quicksand. We would advocate this path to be sealed with hard paving.
Did you have any unpleasant surprises? Weather during our stay was rainy and cold for this time in May.
Do you have any other comments? The internet was welcomed.

Was waren die Highlights Ihres Urlaubs? San Gimignano die Weinverkostung auf dem Weingut Casa Nouva di Ama
Wie war Ihr Gesamteindruck von der Unterbringung? wunderschön. liebevoll und etwas kitschig eingerichtet. ausreichend geräumig. tolle Terrassen, wundervoller Ausblick
Gab es unangenehme Überraschungen? leider war unser gesamter Urlaub so verregnet, dass sogar im Haus nach einer Woche die Kleidung auffallend klamm war, so dass wir unseren Urlaub - auch aus gesundheitlichen Gründen - abbrechen mussten. Im Haus gab es den Hinweis, dass Ofen und Mikrowelle wegen der geringen Absicherung des Stroms nicht gleichzeitig genutzt werden dürfen. Leider flog dann die Sicherung raus bei gleichzeitiger Benutzung von Waschmaschine und Mikrowelle. Insofern sollte der Hinweiszettel erweitert werden :-)

What were the highlights of your holiday? San Gimingmano, Siena, and Florence ... but we did really enjoy Radda. Additionally, we enjoyed both the wine and food of Tuscany.
what was your overall impression of the accommodation? It was very nice. Well decorated and complete with all of the necessities for our vacation. The only problem that we had was a lack of extra pillows and the shower. The water pressure was on the weak side and the hot water never got really hot.
Did you have any unpleasant surprises? Our rental car breaking down, but we were very happy that the staff was able to help us in our communications with the rental car company.
Do you have any other comments? I will recommend the site to others looking to book accommodation in Tuscany.

What were the highlights of your holiday? Too many to count - but during this week, the art tour at Castello di Ama was a highlight for us
what was your overall impression of the accommodation? Very nice, updated (we had just spent a week in a medieval village without a coffee pot or microwave); spacious, clean, great views - very like the photos on the web
Did you have any unpleasant surprises? The fact that there weren't any screens on the doors/windows was a bit unpleasant at times
Do you have any other comments? Enjoyed the stay, the grounds; location was a bit remote but would consider again and recomend for others

What were the highlights of your holiday? Local vineyard visit, trip to Siena, outlet shopping..(!)
what was your overall impression of the accommodation? Super - clean, great location, exactly as descibed on the website. Only 1 minor drawback - accommodations were close together and very quiet outdoors - almost felt the need to whisper! However that has positives also, tho maybe not ideal for all families etc.
Did you have any unpleasant surprises? Insect bites! - totally unrelated to our To Tuscany accommodation!
Do you have any other comments? This is our second time booking with To-Tuscany and both were excellent experiences. The service offered is superb and we will hopefully be booking with you again in the near future and actively reccomend your site to friends and colleagues.

What were the highlights of your holiday? We had two weeks away, one in hotels, one in your accomodation. It was the first time we had done self catering and we loved it, and what a wonderful view.
what was your overall impression of the accommodation? loved it. Excellent facilities, did need to go out. Nice pool as well.
Did you have any unpleasant surprises? The mosquitoes. We knew there would be some and bought some stuff in the UK to combat them but the wrist bands and sprays did not work at all. The chemist in Sienna was wonderful and after that first day we had no trouble.
Do you have any other comments? Would love to go again sometime

Scorpione
What were the highlights of your holiday? Chianti valley beautiful; the setting was wonderful. Just driving around & visiting the nearby villages / castles. Florence and Siena fantastic.
what was your overall impression of the accommodation? We stayed in Scorpione. Better than expected - website pictures were good but we were pleasantly surprised with the space and the standard of furnishings.
Did you have any unpleasant surprises? Florence was further away thatn expected - with reasonalble traffic its still about 90 mins. The weather !
Do you have any other comments? The apartment could really do with an oven or at least a grill or toaster / toasting machine. We didn't plan to eat in much, but cooking (especially breakfast / lunch) would have been a whole lot simpler with these facilities.

Bacco
Was waren die Highlights Ihres Urlaubs? Nach einem erlebnisreichen Tag unterwegs in Florenz oder auch am Pool bei einem leckeren Abendessen auf der Terrasse sitzend den Ausblick und die Abendsonne genießen.
Wie war Ihr Gesamteindruck von der Unterbringung? Das Haus Bacco war sehr gemütlich und komfortabel eingerichtet. Die Terrasse mit dem herrlichen Ausblick war sehr großzügig und liebevoll am Rand bepflanzt. Insgesamt war die Unterbringung sehr sauber. Die Fenster und Türen konnte man einwandfrei schließen. Die Duschen und Toiletten waren ebenfalls einwandfrei. Kleine Extras wie Wäscheständer oder Staubsauger fehlten auch nicht. Die Einrichtung selbst war in einem sehr guten Zustand.
Gab es unangenehme Überraschungen?
Haben Sie andere Anmerkungen? Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder!!! Die ruhige Lage und die liebevoll eingerichteten Häuser mit dem zentral gelegenen Pool war für uns genau das richtige Urlaubsdomizil. Wir hatten nicht weit nach Siena und Florenz und in Radda konnten wir Lebensmittel einkaufen. Es war wirklich ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt. Bis bald!

What were the highlights of your holiday? Lots of swimming and visiting the surrounding area.
what was your overall impression of the accommodation? The accommodation was comfortable and when talking to staff all were very helpful but of course that was only when they were available. The bedding provided and changed at the end of each week was good quality. The kitchen facilities were good as well as the layout of our unit both externally and internally.
Did you have any unpleasant surprises? Television supposed to have a DVD player but none was available. The unit only had one small fan so one room had no air circulation which was most unpleasant due to the hot weather and mosquitoes. Larger power fans would also have helped to drive the mosquitoes away - we were all badly bitten after the two weeks.
Do you have any other comments? It would be nice if at the end of each week even when staying for longer, someone could come in and do a bit of cleaning. I do not know what the extra cost would be to provide an aircon unit during the peak hot weather period - we would have been willing to pay for such a facility if available.

Scorpione
What were the highlights of your holiday? Trips to Siena, driving around enjoying the countryside.
what was your overall impression of the accommodation? Great! Clean, modern, all amenities provided for.
Did you have any unpleasant surprises? Yes, in the office there was a notice that there are scorpions! Luckily we did not see them. On the first day one of the workmen closed off the area where the bbq and the wash line are put. That wasn't too clever...We had to undo some of his work in order to get to the washing line! The owner (not the guests who arrived later in the week!) of the neighbouring apartment (we stayed in La Scorpione) used our frontyard to get to his property. That invaded our privacy somewhat.
Do you have any other comments? - In the bathroom of La Scorpione install shelves for putting things (shampoo, soap) on. We had to place ours on the floor. - A bigger television perhaps? Though we did not come all the way to Tuscany to watch telly, due to bad weather we were at times forced to stay in. - Overall; great location, great apartments. Would definately recommend.

Pesci
What were the highlights of your holiday? We've just returned from Italy, where we stayed with you for a week between the 6th and 13th June, in your Pesci accomodation. We'd just like to say that we found the whole experience to be excellent, from the lovely villa to the beautiful gardens it sits in. We particularly enjoyed the wine tasting trip on the Wednesday.
what was your overall impression of the accommodation? The accomodation was fantastic, and well equipped. Only issue was, whilst the Pesci garden is lovely, there were some quite tall trees/bushes to the left of the terrace, which didn't offer any more privacy, but did cut off a lot of the view as well.
Did you have any unpleasant surprises? only the temperature of the pool! But it did warm up towards the end of the week.
Do you have any other comments? With the relative distance to Radda and Lecchi, it may be a good idea to install a vending machine in the information centre, I'm sure enough people would use it for soft drinks/water that it would be worthwhile having it. I know there were several times when we ran out of soft drinks and had to drive into the nearest town to get some more. The wine tasting afternoon seemed to be a huge success, and I thought maybe it could be run on the Monday or Tuesday instead of the Wednesday, purely because it gives all the guests a great chance to meet each other. It might be useful to have some more information about where you are allowed to go within the hamlet. It wasn't until the last day or two that we discovered the pool over by the tennis courts, and even then we weren't sure if we were allowed to use either, as they weren't mentioned anywhere. Lastly, the 'net' for our pool didn't always seem to be there to scoop out all the bugs and leaves that kept falling into the pool, which did make it slightly unpleasant to swim around in.

What were the highlights of your holiday? The wine tasting tour was well organised and a very pleasant break. Also gave achance to meet others on the site.
what was your overall impression of the accommodation? The overall site was well maintained, clean and cared for. The villas were nicely mature and strategically positioned not to overlook others. Very good. Access to the internet was very convenient. It would be useful to have access to printer. Ryanair requires preprinted boarding cards now. Several of us searched an internet cafe in one of the towns.
Did you have any unpleasant surprises? No unpleasant experiences. WHilst not your responsibility, walking to Leche is mentioned, however the last third of the track could be a challenge for some not too adventurous. Would be helpful to mention this or better to see if the local community, which benefits from the grocery shopping etc., could be encouraged to make a slight adjustment to make the walking through briars less challenging????

What were the highlights of your holiday? My whole holiday went like clockwork - for me, that was the biggest joy! The ease of travelling around Chianti was quite surprising - though I did have a satnav! I must have saved so much time not having to navigate from a map. I planned my itinery carefully to include Sienna, Florence and the medieval villages. Everything was stunning and met all my expectations. (Parking for the key sights was easy).
what was your overall impression of the accommodation? Fantastic - just as I imagined and hoped it would be. I did alot of research on the intenet before booking so I knew what I wanted. The views were gorgeous and the grounds very well kept. The location was excellent for travelling in all directions.

Overall impression: We fell in love with Tuscany and our villa was a big part of that. We were very fortunate in that we were pretty much the only people there but I think the layout is such that even if the villas had all been occupied you would still have privacy and quietness.
Highlights: Too many to choose. The location was very central which meant we could do day trips and see a very good variety of countryside and cities in Tuscany. We had great onsite assistance - eg we were advised not to drive into Florence but to catch a train instead. Also, the villa itself had a book with a number of trip ideas and suggestions which was useful. An added bonus that we didn't excpect was access to the internet - would have been good to have access to a printer as well (minor point) We loved our time so much we stayed an extra 4 days and were grateful that that request could be met.
Unpleasant surprises: None at all - we have recommended to-tuscany to a number of friends and would love to return ourselves.

Thomas (accommodation: Taglialegna)
Overall impression: Very comfortable and cozy. The view was spectacular. I was only sorry the weather wasn't great for sitting out on the patio. A light in the kitchen would have helped. The only issue -- the walls were very thin between units, but not a big problem, although I could see if there were noisy people next door, it could spoil the experience.
Highlights: Montepulciano, Volterra and Siena, although I think one of the best days was hiking through Chianti from Radda to Volpaia. Exquisite. This hike was described in the binder left in the villa. Very good directions.
Unpleasant surprises: Just the thin walls between villas. The light in the kitchenwould have helped.

Overall impression: We were very happy with the apartment - it was very clean and had everything we needed. I would definitely recommend staying there to friends/family.
Highlights: The wonderful food (and owners) at the restaurant in San Sano.
Wine tasting at Castello Tornano, Le Micchine, Rocca di Castigilione, Castello Nueva di Ama
Unpleasant surprises: The DVD player didn't work, which was a letdown as we'd actually brought DVDs all the way from the States with us.

Overall impression: The accomodation was lovely, although we were a little disappointed that the view from the upper terrace was interrupted by ugly bars.
Highlights: Dining in the local restaurants. Management on site was very friendly.
Unpleasant surprises: I didn't bank on the hamlet being so family orientated. There was a familty next to us with 4 very small kids and our day was really dictated by when they got up and if they were in...also, there wasn't much peace around the pool....
I would have like to have been told about this and it did marr our holiday.
Also, although the property was nice i thought it was old and was surprised it was a purpose built hamlet. this wasn't obvious from the marketing.
Thankyou however, for helping us with our holiday...

Dear Dympna,
Everything was great and it all ran very skoothly. The computer room was an added bonus which was great so our son could check his e-mails. Which turned out to be important for his forthcoming departure to Bath Uni.
We didin't dislike anything! And the web site was very true to what we found.
The cottage was fantastic for Italian standards, we have stayed in a lot of places and this was the best equiped (apart from a choppin board) cottage we have ever had. It is usually on the primitive side but here all was there and functioning!!!! Thanks for all. We had a great time and visited lots of beautifull places and the highlight was Siena by night!

Overall impression: It was simply wonderful and more than I could have hoped for!!
Highlights: Our villa was in such a lovely location - tucked away in the quiet hills, but close to every Tuscan site we could wish to visit!
Unpleasant surprises: Only that our bank put a "security caution" on our ATM card...even though I had phoned them before we left the US to explicity let them know we'd be in Italy! This presented a hardship for a day when we were trying to get from Venice to Florence to pick up our rental ca. We were low on cash, and with the time difference, we had to wait 8 hours for the security department of our bank to open! My recommendation to any US traveller in Italy (and especially in the Tuscan countryside) - never carry less that 150 - 200 Euros in cash!

Highlights: Our villa was in such a lovely location - tucked away in the quiet hills, but close to every Tuscan site we could wish to visit!

Overall impression: The accommodation was truely excellent. Presentation was perfect. Very well equipped (although a tray would be good to carry food and drinks to the terrace for dining al-fresco). There was a b-b-q provided but it was so rusty as to be difficult to use without special cleaning materials. We would have liked to see mugs rather than cups (lots of trips to the kitchen). But these are really small points - the building was charming, the bed comfortable the price competitive and we really enjoyed ourselves.
Highlights: As this was the 3rd trip to Tuscany we did not do anything new and never found the time to even get to Florence. Basically we pottered round the villages meeting charming people, eating superb food, looking at beautiful countryside and enjoying fantastic weather. For us there is nothing as relaxing and free as pottering round the Chianti countryside.
Unpleasant surprises: No nothing of note happened. On the first day we saw a 3ft snake crossing the road near the accommodation (which caused my partner to be nervous at walking at night). We also wondered why the Hertz desk was so busy at Pisa when the Sixt desk was completely empty. Getting the car took longer than ever before and I will consider changing company next year.

From Chris and Claire Hall, Western Australia (villa Taglialegna, early May 2006).
As this was our first visit to Italy, we had no idea what to expect in the way of accommodation and the best location from which to visit the various places of interest. From that point of view, we very much appreciated the excellent service provided by Linda Page. She spoke from personal experience, and nothing was too much trouble for her. We met other travellers at Hamlet Montefiorile near Lecchi who said the same thing - so she must be doing something right! She went the extra yard and gave us information about other areas as well, even to the point of providing a suggested itinerary; so heartfelt thanks to Linda.
We were extremely happy with our accommodation, and the early May weather was just like a Perth autumn. The unit Taglialegna was just the right size, and had a nice view across the valley to the hills. The nearest village, Lecchi, had everything we wanted, including well-priced wine - we bought a very acceptable red for 3 euros! - and a quality restaurant.
Tuscany is just like the advertisements - it's impossibly beautiful, with views at every turn. However, having driven many miles around the countryside, we both agreed that the most stunning Tuscan views were to be had along the road from Castellina in Chianti to San Donato - just breathtaking.
For those thinking about taking the plunge: Italy is nowhere near as expensive as people would have you believe. It is possible for a couple anywhere in the country to self-cater on the most magnificent local foods for $Au30/day, including wine. But if you intend to drive, we would suggest a portable GPS navigation system such as a Tom Tom. The main roads are well signposted, but one can get seriously lost on the country roads. The locals were wonderful to us when we were lost, even driving us miles out of their way to our turnoff.
All in all, it was a wonderful month. Thanks to To-Tuscany for a lovely experience.

Thank you for our stay in Tuscany. The villa was very beautiful. Too bad the weather was a little cooler than expected. Had you been in charge of the weather, it would have been beautiful. The place was spotless and comfortable. The organized wine tour was the best!!!! Thanks again. We hope to return.

Hi Michela,
Sorry for the delay in responding. Has taken a little while to get organised after the trip.
We loved our stay in Tuscany and in particular at Pesci. It was well equiped, very comfortable and a lovely outlook. Was great having internet access available. We didn’t seem to be able to get the TV working (probably a grey moment) however that didn’t really matter.
Overall we had a great stay and we have some very envious Aussie and English friends so I think you can expect more custom over the next few years.
Linda provide great assistance at this end in helping us to select Pesci and providing links to other sites of interest regarding the area. To-Tuscanys web site is very good.
A couple of general points - we got lost trying to get thru Sienna as we picked up a car at Rome airport and then drove up the coast road before cutting across to Sienna. We ended up coming via Castellina (I think) which worked out ok. We also got a parking fine in Sienna. Thought we had parked legally but we were in a residents only area. Bit of a warning for future guests.
Thanks again to you and the staff for making our stay so enjoyable.
Regards,
Roger & Marg Hilton (Accommodation: Pesci)

The accommodation overall was lovely.It was a good size for a couple, although we noted when we arrived that it would be too small for four people (as it is advertised as being suitable for), particularly as the sofa bed is in a room with no curtains, allowing little privacy and a lot of light through.
The balcony had beautiful views and we found the furniture in the villa all comfortable and clean.The kitchen was surprisingly well equipped and we liked the open plan living area. Added extras such as a CD player, iron and ironing board aswell were all appreciated. The communal tower area which allowed us use of the washing machine and free internet access were big bonus points for us, aswell as other guests because the computers were often
being used.
Whilst we were surrounded by quite a few other properties, quite closely packed in, this didn’t really bother us, we could go for a lot of the day without seeing other guests and when we were in and around our villa it was incredibly quiet.Most people were very friendly there anyway, which created a lovely atmosphere in the hamlet.

Absolutely excellent! The standard of build, the facilities and the location were lovely. The design layout of the units ensured total privacy so that we were never aware or disturbed by our neighbours. The grounds were lovely with lots of different plants which encouraged wildlife and were well looked after. The views were just spectacular! Although it was, for we townies, quite remote, the nearest of Lecchi and access to other villages and towns around was excellent.

Quite nice and homey, everything about the room itself was just as represented to us. The kitchen was quite useful and we loved our balcony (when it was not raining!). Beautiful area. We enjoyed being so close to so many wineries and especially loved the tour of a nearby farm, Castelnuevo d' Ama.
