Beautiful property in our favorite area of Tuscany near Montalcino. The rooms are very comfortable and there is lots of space within the villa for a larger group. Beautifully furnished with antiques, the villa is very well maintained and there are lots of areas on the property to enjoy sitting outside or by the pool. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking and there are fresh herbs on the property. Mari, the caretaker for the property, is a wonderful cook and we enjoyed the dinner that she made for us the first night that we arrived at the villa. She was also very helpful to two in our group whose luggage was delayed arriving from the U.S. Mari is a wonderful hostess and makes this a special property.

This was our first trip to Italy and we took a chance on this location! This villa was amazing! Our party of 4 couples thoroughly enjoyed the entire stay. Spacious, comfortable, authentic Tuscany style and beautiful vistas from every location. The caretakers, Raphael and Marinella made everything comfortable and helped with everything from directions to recommendations! Marinella is a fabulous chef (better than any restaurant we tried!) and having dinner cooked for you at night is the ultimate in luxury! We even had a visit by the owner of the villa! He is a gem! We have nothing but positive comments about this villa and our stay. Make sure you rent an All Wheel Drive vehicle, as the access road is dirt and pretty bumpy! But it was worth it!

Very nice place to stay. Close to the main sightseeing places. Very quite, with incredible views on the surrounding land. The owner is very friendly and the apartment is clean and nicely equipped and functional. We had a very pleasant stay and would like to come back again.

Traumhafte Aussicht, tolle Lage!
Die Zimmer sind großzügig und es ist von der Kaffeemaschine bis zum Korkenzieher alles da, was man braucht.
Wir waren mit 4 Erwachsenen und. 2 Kindern da und haben uns seh wohl gefühlt.
In einem der Bäder war die Dusche nicht richtig sauber und der Toilettendeckel war nicht richtig befestigt.
Als wir abends ankamen, machte sich gerade eine Wildschscheinmama mit ihren Kindern über den Biomüll der Vormieter her.
Wildschweine haben wir auch am Tag öfter in dem Gebiet gesehen. :-)
Den Müll besser erst morgens rausstellen.
Er wird täglich abgeholt.
Zum Strand läuft man in einer Minute.
Es gibt ganz viele wunderschöne Strände wo man in kurzer Zeit hinlaufen kann.
Wir hatten die Strände im Oktober fast immer für uns allein. Traumhaft...
Stundenlange wunderschöne Spaziergänge entlang der Strände, auf Felsen klettern...
Wenn man mit der Fähre kommt, am besten in Olbia einkaufen.
Das Geschäft in Portobello ist teuer und hatte im Oktober nur morgens geöffnet.
Wir haben dort morgens Brötchen gekauft. Das Restaurand war im Oktober leider auch nicht mehr geöffnet. Ist aber klar, da nicht mehr viele Urlauber zu dieser Zeit in Portobello sind.
Uns hat das Haus und die Lage sehr gut gefallen.
Wir kommen wieder!
[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] Fantastic view, great location!
The rooms are spacious and you will find from the coffee machine to the corkscrew - everything you need.
We were with 4 adults and 2 children and we felt very well.
In one of the bathrooms the shower was not really clean and the toilet lid was not properly attached.
When we arrived in the evening, a wild boar mum with her children was just starting to make use of the organic waste from the previous tenants.
We also saw boars more often in the area during the day. :-)
Better put out the garbage in the morning, it is picked up daily.
You can walk to the beach in a minute. There are many beautiful beaches where you can walk in a short time.
We almost always had the beaches alone in October. Perfect ...
Hours of beautiful walks along the beaches, climbing on rocks ...
If you come by ferry, it is best to shop in Olbia. The shop in Portobello is expensive and opened in the morning in October only.
We bought bread there in the morning. The restaurant was unfortunately not open in October. But it is clear that there are not many tourists at this time in Portobello.
We liked the house and the location very much.
We will be back!

Thank you very much for the pleasure to spend a week in this Villa. Everything that was promised by your company and the owner has been provided. The only problem that has arisen is the supply of hot water. This problem was very quickly solved by your representative. And do Ian a huge thank you for the support meeting, the decision of all questions. As a small drawback I would like to note that the first time at the house is not easy to find. I'd pay attention to that! Thanks again!

Tolle Unterkunft!! Super Lage - etwas abseits - daher Auto unverzichtbar.
Anlage top gepflegt. Allein die Geschirr und Besteckausstattung für 4 Personen ist etwas dürftig, wenn man nicht 2 mal am Tag die Spülmaschine anstellen will....
Wir kommen wieder.
