Guest Reviews for Residenza Villa Lilia
Pros: beautiful pool and grounds, wonderful view of Tuscan countryside
Cons: inside of the villa is clean but not very inviting. The kitchen is large but so full of unnecessary items that there is no room for a refrigerator (it's down the hall). All the appliances are very, very old. The pool is not heated. A person came in daily to clean the pool and water the plants from 8-10am (she was lovely but we didn't know that she would be coming). We paid 150 euros for electricity for a 6 night stay.Would you recommend this property to a friend? Yes
La villa é bellissima, immersa in una pace totale ed é molto attrezzata. Eravamo 4 adulti e 5 bambini, ma gli spazi sono talmente grandi che siamo stati tutti molto bene. Abbiamo avuto massimo supporto dalla proprietá nel gestire e risolvere qualsiasi richiesta.
Vacanza fantastica, da ripetersi assolutamente!
