The family was very warm and extremely helpful. The room that we stayed in lacked privacy (located off of the kitchen) and did not have privacy.

Villa Fiorenzani is very good. The manager was pleasant and spoke English. The location is excellent and Radicondoli is a lovely 'hilltop' town off the tourist path but full of history and sites to see. The rooms were comfortable and the outdoors area pleasant (I think that the trees around the pool could be trimmed to allow the view!) There is a restaurant on the other side of the road and we ate there often. There was also public parking close by so we did not have to negotiate the steep driveway each day. The only negative is the washing machine which is old and needs to be replaced.
I would like to return to Radicondoli and the Villa one day; our week there was a delight and it was sad to leave. Thank you

Perefect location in the Tuscan hills . Very peaceful and suitable for Kids. Perfect for family with kids. There is a large garden with football pitch including goals. Swimming pool that is safe. If you are looking for a secluded villa where you wake to the sound of the birds and the sun comming though the bedroom villa. La Puzzola is perfect. The photos of the villa (inside and out) clearly show what to expect. The directions on the web site are perfect. We reached there no problem from Pisa. The kitchen and dining area are really very clean. There is an abundance of cuttlery and delf.

I Camini Castelfranco di Sopra is a wonderful villa with views that take your breath away. The internal layout lends to having private areas if required but the living area is very good for communal entertainment. The evening view over the valley and to the West would be spoiled without a glass of the local wine, both are very good for the heart. We really enjoyed our experience. Thank you.

The villa was more spacious than the photos portrayed it. The family who owned it was friendly and very accomodating. The villa and grounds were immaculate. I really appreciated use of washer with handy clothes rack dryer with clothes pins. The kitchen was new and most sufficient for 4 or 6 people. The location was great for exploring Pisa, Firenze, Lucca and surrounding Tuscany. The nearest town was Altopascio, there was all types of stores and services for your convenience. Most of all! The house was very safe, it is located in a community of lovely homes all gated with intercoms. Our villa had its own driveway with an electric gate that locked every time you entered or departed, you can sleep knowing it would be very difficult for an intruder to enter. That was a worry for me renting in an unknown place. I would definately return to this villa if I ever needed to be in that location again providing it was not summertime. We did not do well without air conditioning. I guess we are spoiled Americans. It was extremely hot and I thought I would do more cooking, but did not because of the heat. There was not access to a pool either so there was little relief from the heat. But if I returned for Fall or Winter or even Spring the house is great !

Had a lovely relaxing week at Podere Il Doccio. Casa Ocra was perfect for our family of four with the extensive balcony facilitating hours of eveving enjoyment. The poool area is great for families with space for other activities such as frizbee or football in addition to the great swimming facilities.

The villa was of top quality with breath taking views from most rooms. It is situated on the side of the mountain so when the weather was hot we still had a fresh breeze to cool us down. The pool was beautiful and the locals were friendly. There were a few villages near by with lovely restaurants. There were two families who stayed in this villa, 9 of us all together and there was loads of room. Both families enjoyed the holiday and would like to return to the villa in the very near future!!

We were staying at the Castle as part of a party for a wedding in the area so didn't pick to stay there as such. Our group was mixed in terms of ages including children and everyone fell in love with the place! We will definitely be going back.

The whole area is beautiful a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the scenery. A great place to go to for artists. Also plenty to do and see. Italian people so friendly and helpful. I would recommend Castello Di Montefugoni wholeheartedly and have warm memories of how well we were looked after condsidering that there were 83 people in our wedding party.

Camelia is a charming little apartment in a very densely populated family beach resort. My daughter, age 17, and I spent a week there as a part of a trip that included some time in Florence. The landlord was very nice and efficient. The apartment an extremely clean basic beach rental. Most of the tourists in this resort are Italian or German. We did not encounter one other American or other English speaking tourist for the first six days of the week we were there. There is bus trasportation in town, but you must be patient about train and bus connections from nearby Donoratico. The coast is lovely. There is one very good restaurant in the town and several excellent ones nearby. If you aren't into pizza, there are only two restaurants in the town. We greatly enjoyed the beach and rented chairs and an umbrella for the week at S. Lucia beach. If you are looking for a low key family oriented resort from which to explore a corner of Tuscany, this is an excellent choice. Castagneto Carducci was the most charming of the hill towns we visited and only about 7 miles from Marina del Castagneto. We had an affordable and very relaxing vacation. It was a pleasant contrast with the rushing about and intense sight seeing we did in Florence.
