4 ^/5 Very Good   Villa Review Rating Details

Tollena Wine Resort is in a beautiful setting surrounded by vineyards and olive groves. The grounds are beautiful and planted with many flowers. The roses were beginning to bloom during our stay. The apartment was clean with 4 good size bedrooms. The baths were modern but the showers were very small. The one bath with a tub had no shower curtain and resulted in a very wet bathroom if one chose to shower. For a unit this large, the kitchen was very small but it did have a reasonable size refrigerator. There is no oven in the unit only a microwave so if you enjoy cooking and family dinners, this may not be for you. We were allowed to use an oven in the Tollena kitchen but this was only available from 8-4 on some days. Going outside the unit to bake or cook was not optimal. This unit is on the second floor and had a table with umbrella and chairs on the grass outside the unit but going up and down stairs to serve dinner or lunch was not as convenient as the units at ground level. The washer and dryer were located outside the unit near the reception building and required 10 euros per wash. The pool and swings were wonderful for the grandchildren. The pool is not heated and in May it was pretty cold. Adding a solar panel to heat the pool would solve that problem. We enjoyed our stay in Tuscany and found the resort to be very convenient to the sites. Barbara was very helpful. Tollena is in a beautiful setting and with a few changes could be perfect.
