4 ^/5 Very Good   Villa Review Rating Details

Nous avons passé 2 excellentes semaines à casa Anna. Le location est très bien située. Au cœur de la campagne Toscane mais à quelques minutes de badia a passiganano et de plusieurs restaurants et 15 min de Tavarnelle et permettant de visiter aisément la région ( sienne, Florence, san gilmigniano et de nombreux autres villages). La villa est tres confortable, bien équipée . La piscine très agréable et tres appréciable apres les ballades. L'accueil des propriétaires est agreable et discret

2 ^/5 Poor   Villa Review Rating Details

The villa itself was very nice and well designed (but not well maintained). Regretfully, this is the one and only good thing to say about the villa.
The location is about 1.5km outside the nearest village (on a dirt road). Hard to access and simply nothing to do around it. Location is always a subjective issue. If you are looking for a very quiet and insulated place, it can be nice to you.
In addition, the villa has about 10 taps, but not even one of them gives a smooth water flow. All of them gives splashes and/or very weak water flow.

The owner was very kind. She helped us with navigation, finding a supermarket and more.
Despite this, owner is a really miser and really greedy. nothing is included. Almost everything is an "extra".
There were many many hidden costs:
- 120€ for final cleaning (while usually 50-60€ in other properties, if any)
- 49€ for using the gas for few days
- 25€ for a small dates-change only few days after the booking and few months prior to the arrival date
- 22€ taxes
- 20€ for the Wi-Fi password (!!!) while everyone gives it for free nowadays
- The owner asked for 500€ deposit, while 250€ written in the voucher (We didn't pay it)

The entire garden is completely dark at night ("Because electricity is very expensive"). Upon arrival, we brought our bags from the car using the smartphone's led like thieves... The owner took me to the gas meter to read it (because it also "not included") in a complete darkness using the smartphone's led... really poor & disparaged welcoming.

In conclusion:
This villa has an isolated location, but it has the potential to be a nice place to stay.
The owner must learn some basic rules about fairness, proper disclosure, customer service and interpersonal relations before continuing to serve customers...

[counter comment from Easy Reserve]: The extra costs are not hidden but stated on our web pages and on the travel voucher.

Die Lage ist traumhaft mit tollem Blick über die Berge und auf das Dorf Badia Di Passignano. Der Zustand des Hauses ist gepflegt und auch die Gastgeber sind sehr freundlich.
Der Pool ist toskana-typisch nicht beheizt aber sehr sauber und angenehm temperiert.
Die Anfahrtsbeschreibung sollte auch das Tor erwähnen, da das Schild schwer als solches zu erkennen ist (dunkelbraune Schrift auf braunem Hintergrund).
Küche und Bäder sind gut ausgestattet und sauber. Vor Ort können selbstgemachtes Olivenöl und Rotwein erworben werden. Auch Holz für den offenen Kamin steht zur Verfügung (sehr zu empfehlen).
Einziger Negativpunkt ist der schöne Tisch auf der Terrasse, der leider etwas hoch ist, sodass auch grosse Menschen in unbequemer Haltung essen müssen.

Vielen Dank für die schöne Zeit! Wir haben uns sehr gut erholt und die Tage sehr genossen.

The villa itself was gorgeous and beautifully decorated. But the good points stop there. It is very difficult to find the property and when we tried to contact them for directions no one answered. Turns out they are only accessible by phone during certain 'working hours' so you're screwed if you need help outside of these. After our stay, we were given a bill for all the 'extras' - they charged us for local tax (which is fine), water, gas and internet...even though internet was meant to be free at this place?! The owners speak very little (if any) English so trying to ask questions and get any information was almost impossible. Also, the water pressure in the bath was very slow - we had to wait about 45 minutes to have a bath! The shower water pressure wasn't good either.


[counter comment from the house manager] these guests state that they found it difficult to contact / communicate with the owner, but on the travel voucher they also have our mobile phone number which is active on the Saturday afternoon. They could call us and we would have helped them to find the property.
Internet WI-FI is available at € 20, - / per week and not free.
As for the problem with the water unfortunatly they did not mention this to use during their stay. If the client had warned us we would have been able to take action and try to solve the problem.

The casa was adorable, the serenity was fabulous, and the owners were wonderful. Don't pass up the opportunity to get a home made meal served in your casa or special room they have! It's AMAZING.

We just got back today from incredible trip in Italy. We stayed at Casa Anna 4.the Unit was excellent and suited us very much. We were two couples and we had complete privacy. The living room and kitchen were equipped as needed and lacked for anything. The site is situated in the hills of Tuscany in a central location and close to all the beautiful places. the owner of the property, amazing. of course thank you dear agents for all the help we received from the first converstion until we come back .Certainly we use your services again
thank you

Nous avons passé un séjour très agréable : Anna 4 est isolé, mais pas très loin de magnifiques villages toscans ainsi que des grandes villes.
Nous avons été très bien conseillés pour choisir cet endroit : nous avions une piscine avec une vue magnifique sur le Chianti, une terrasse privée avec barbecue et la maison était très propre.
L'accueil de la propriétaire était très chaleureux.
Sans hésitation, je recommande cet endroit.
