"Pros: Beautiful house surrounded by greenery with a large and clean swimming pool. Free parking in the shade of pine trees. Rooms - clean, spacious, air-conditioned, perfectly furnished and equipped - comfortable and functional, but also with great taste. Some details sometimes need repair (leaky shower hose etc) but this is normal wear and tear and will not spoil the overall effect. In the rooms at the back of the building (from the pool side) silence and a beautiful view of the nearby hills, in the rooms with windows at the front of the building you can hear a little noise from the road. Excellent location near beautiful and clean beaches, 15 minutes’ walk away (no pedestrian path but we checked - access is not difficult and safe) or access by car (large paid parking lot), there are several nice restaurants by the beach. Nearby (max 20 min drive) several towns worth visiting (we recommend Piombino, Suvereto, Massa Marittima, Populonia, Baratti) Cons: We only thing missing are bikes for guests - the area is perfect for exploring by bike :)" ~Adam

"Pros: There are many positive things to say about this piece of heaven that Riccardo and Donatella are running for 7 years. The tasteful way they designed the garden, refurbished the villa and its apartments is lovely. They managed to combine the old with the new amazingly well and, despite preserving the old so well, no modern amenities were left out. Therefore, we enjoyed the fully equipped kitchen (including dishwasher), the super fresh bathroom and the AC in both rooms, just in case it might get colder, the way it did for us, off season. The view from the villa is amazing wherever one is looking: the beautiful garden, the sea (1km away) or the Toscan hills are on sight. The on-premise parking was a good addition. Last but not least, the bed was great, paired well with the window blinds and the overall silence in the settlement in order to enable the greatest of sleep. We found the owners to be somewhat inspirational as they are matching fully what they created and they are warm, service minded and a long standing couple. All on all, this place was so good that it definitely convinced us to come back one day, not too far ahead in the future. Cons: The hot water installation had a glitch, so hot water was not running; this was solved right away once we flagged the issue. The temperature of the hot water was lower than what we are used to back home, though. But that's more of a personal taste. One needs a car to get to the villa and to reach nearby supermarkets and other attractions. The beach is walking distance away - roughly 15' away, but it will require walking on the side of the road, with no sidewalk. Between the villa and the seafront there are a road, a highway and a railroad track, which becomes obvious with the windows open but not a problem with the windows closed." ~Mitica
