Guest Reviews for La Gora

We had a lovely 2 weeks at La Culla - La Gora is the name of the property’s road. We very much enjoyed our stay with family joining us in the first week and friends the second week. The Villa has a very traditional feel. All the bedrooms have ensuites which was so handy for our guests. The Villa host, Giancarlo was very welcoming and it was no trouble for him to book a restaurant for us and make other recommendations. We asked about wine tours and Giancarlo organised a fabulous tour for us of a local winery and farm, which also produced honey and truffle oil. This winery also had a beautifully restored Villa and historical grounds.

La Culla is a little bit off the main road but once you know the way you are all set. The local train station San Romano is about a 10 minute drive with free parking available. The supermarket is not far from the train station. There is a great Pasticceria near the train station - Dolce Vita. Giancarlo will be able to direct you. Warning - you will most likely go there every day! We used the train several times for day trips to Florence and many of our guests arrived at San Romano train station for us to collect them from. The Villa location is central for many towns in Tuscany. Pisa and Florence about 30 to 40 minute drive. San Giminagno and Lucca about an hour and Siena about an hour and 30 minutes.

La Culla also has a large enclosed area known as the winter garden. As we were there in October this was a great space for afternoon aperitivo or coffee. We did use the outdoor settings a few times when the weather suited. The kitchen has a commercial grade gas stove to cook, perfect for making pasta. The plates, utensils etc were a little dated but provided all that we needed. The grounds are pleasant with a beautiful pool. It was too cold for us to swim but I would imagine it would be lovely in summer. The villa was very clean.

Note: The washing machine is located in a bottom room of the main house, opposite the villa, which is open during the day. We would have liked a clothes dryer as due to the weather clothes did not dry quickly.

Now when we think back of our time at La Culla our memories are full of much fun, joy and laughter. Thanks to Giancarlo and his family for their welcoming hospitality. A truely wonderful holiday!

Villa (ex albergo riconvertito) in buone condizioni e pulita. Camere confortevoli ma prive di zanzariere. Ben accessoriata.
Cucina di tipo professionale e ben funzionante (ma non segnalato al momento della prenotazione). Accoglienza gentile e proprietari disponibili.
