Guest Reviews for Podere Il Doccio - Casa Acqua
Would you recommend this property to a friend? Yes
My family and I stayed here for a week at the end of August. For us, it was perfect. The property is a charming, rustic Tuscan farmhouse, but is comfortable, spacious and well equipped. The balcony is a really nice spot to have breakfast or sit out with a glass of wine in the evening. It is very secluded and peaceful, surrounded by woods and farmland, but you will need a car to explore the region.
The pool was lovely, with plenty of sun loungers and shade, if needed. It wasn't heated, but in August the air temperature was mid 30s and the pool was around 24deg C.
The owners couldn't have been nicer. It's a family owned property and the welcome we got made us feel at home straight away. During the week, they'd check in with us to see if we needed anything, but without being intrusive. They were very helpful with information on places to visit, where to get shopping, local markets, etc. They offer an evening cooking class, teaching you to prepare Tuscan dishes, which you then sit down to eat. This was one of the highlights of the week for us. Great fun, friendly people and delicious food.
The only (literal) fly in the ointment was the mosquitoes. Take some decent mossie repellent.
All in all, one of the nicest holidays we've had and we all want to return at some pointWould you recommend this property to a friend? Yes
Un très bel accueil et disponibilité pour tous nos besoins.
De beaux espaces.
Le seul point négatif : la machine à laver le linge n'est pas dans l'appartement .Would you recommend this property to a friend? Yes
We had the most incredible time in Italy,
Our Villa Casa Acqua was just what we needed to experience the real Italy. Our hosts were so warm and we really enjoyed the cooking lessons in their home.
We plan on returning again soon.Would you recommend this property to a friend? Yes
Really nice pool area with good sun beds and big lawn!!! Good kitchen and dining area, where we cooked a lot, also grilled outside. Small but cosy balcony by the kitchen. Outdoor fire place and grill but the door but not really a grilling area. Beds could be little better, especially one double bed woke the other person when the first one turned around - until we used to it. :) Wi-Fi covering more a less the whole area. Owners are super nice and helpful. Villa is located in a beautiful, peaceful area but not vey close to services. I would love to go a again.

We had a fantastic stay - the family were extremely hospitable. The linen is good cotton and the pool lovely. Highly recommend this place to stay. One minor detail - no air conditioning but we didn't find it a problem with the thick stone walls depite it being about 40 degrees celsius.

Spending at Podere Il Doccio proved itself to be one of the best holiday options we've ever taken. First and foremost there are Marina and Francesco - the owners - and their family. Unbelievably generous, kind and loving people. Then there is the property - beautiful. isolated, tranquil, inspiring and inducing peace of mind.

We had a lovely 10 days at this very typical Tuscan property. The young children were totally smitten with the pool and we enjoyed the peace and pleasant surroundings. The property is very private although there were other guests but the setting lends itself to privacy, having said that we were easily able to get to large supermarkets etc and central for the main tourist destinations.

We hebben een prima verblijf gehad in de "Podere Il Doccio". Samen met een andere familie hebben we kunnen genieten van het mooie zwembad en dito omgeving. De huisjes waren heel gerieflijk en verzorgd.
De streek is, zoals genoeg bekend, prachtig: In Firenze was het weliswaar over de koppen lopen, maar Siena, Pisa, Lucca en andere steden waren "doenbaar". Ook culinair was het een topper met een wijnproef en leuke restaurantjes in de buurt.
Een echte aanrader voor iedereen die op zoek is naar rust, cultuur en een prachtige omgeving.

The region is as well known enough, beautiful: In Florence it was crowded, but Siena, Pisa, Lucca and other towns were "doable". Also, it was a culinary excellence with a wine tasting and nice restaurants nearby.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for peace, culture and beautiful scenery.Would you recommend this property to a friend? Yes
We loved this villa, inside and out. The colors and textures were exactly what we love about Tuscany and wanted to experience. The furnishings were wonderful and comfortable, too. Marina and Francesco were delightful and friendly, checking up on us periodically to see how the sightseeing day went or if there was anything we needed. They gave good recommendations for places to visit (when we asked) and then the best way to get there. The pool was great for our three kids, to give them something to do when they were tired of sightseeing. We spent a very laid-back three days and wished we had longer for the whole experience. (The directions to the villa were a little bit hard to follow at first, but that was because we didn't yet know how to follow Italian directions and road signs. Once you know that, it's easy!) We would definitely go back.

Excellent location with easy access to other towns and local infrastructure and shops. Car necessary. Owner's dogs are friendly but get up (ie bark) very very early (in hunting season I'm told). Friendly and helpful owners. Great cooking leason and subsequent dining with the family of the owners. The property lived up to expectations.

There were five adults in our party and we had a wonderful time during our stay. Whether it was traveling to the various sites or just lounging around the time spent was very relaxing and to be able to return to a comfortable and quiet place was ideal.

Beautiful, quintessential Tuscan property! Rolling hills, vineyards, olive trees, small villages, good food and wine! If you want a peaceful vacation yet close to the bigger cities, you'll like this villa...
Would you recommend this property to a friend? Yes
It is centrally located to see many sites in the Tuscany area. The family at the property couldn't be nicer and they speak excellent english. Having a cooking lesson and spending the evening with the family was on the top of our highlights of the trip. It was hard to find a great meal after the one we had with them. Marina is an excellent cook and the family is fantastic!

What a beautiful property set in an amazing environment, the sort of place you never want to leave. We only had a week and this definitely wasn't long enough! We went with friends and didn't go out in the evenings as had two very young children with us, instead we made the most of the shared bbq facilities, eating on the veranda and drinking the farms chianti - heaven! The owners were lovely and if we weren't in their gorgeous pool we were out visiting nearby cities such as Florence and Sienna. A very good time was had!

Nous avons vraiment beaucoup apprécié cette location. Le terroir où elle s'insère, situé entre l'Arno et le massif montagneux du Pratomagno, est nettement moins touristique que le Chianti voisin, mais ne manque ni de charme ni d'intérêt.
La propriétaire du Podere Il Doccio, Mme Irene Gren, a la vocation et le sens du véritable accueil : le logement est parfait, et grâce aux conseils avisés d'Irene, nous avons pu visiter de façon détaillée la région. Ce séjour, confortable et reposant, fut aussi l'occasion de vraies découvertes. Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir dans ce logement, bien agencé et très confortable, pourvu d'une très belle piscine.
[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] We really enjoyed this rental. The territory where it is located, between the Arno and the Pratomagno mountain range, is much less touristy than the neighboring Chianti, but does not lack either charm or interest.
The owner of Podere Il Doccio, Mrs. Irene Gren, has a vocation and a sense of genuine hospitality: the accommodation is perfect, and thanks to Irene's wise advice, we were able to visit the region in detail. This comfortable and relaxing stay was also the occasion for real discoveries. We will be back with great pleasure in this accommodation, well appointed and very comfortable, with a beautiful swimming pool.
