Villa Le Liscaie, private villa with pool in the Crete Seseni area. A/C & Wi-Fi!

We has a really good stay, would recommend to anyone who would like to vacation in the area.

This place is amazing. The history of the house, the beautiful olive groves and ground. The very nice pool. We had a great 3 days of relaxing and did just a few short trips to checkout nearby towns.

This Tuscan villa was an incredible place to stay - so historic (parts of the building date from the 1650’s) with spectacular views, gardens, groves of olive trees, a beautiful pool, a path through the woods to a Roman hermitage, and an excellent location for exploring the surrounding area. Stunning and everything you could possibly want… except some of the basic provisions like more than one roll of TP for a 4 day stay, any hand or dish soap, or more than one garbage bag. Paolo, the property manager, and Sabrina, the owner, were truly delightful to deal with and I’d recommend the villa highly - just come prepared with your own basics.

We stayed for 8 nights and used the villa as our home base to drive to other Tuscan towns. The villa is absolutely beautiful and private and is like a fortress with all of the heavy doors and locks. Although remote, we felt very safe. The pool too felt new and clean and was refreshing to spend afternoons relaxing and swimming. The villa felt very clean and had towels, sheets, and pillows provided, and necessary kitchen items. However, we did need to purchase all dish soap, hand washing soap, laundry detergent, etc, which are not provided. There is a small grocery store less than 10 minute drive away. There are 2 kitchens and it took us almost the entire trip to realize that the downstairs kitchen was probably the better kitchen to be used because it had more of the necessities. A few notable items, the WiFi was very poor. Essentially you can use WiFi in the room that the router is and sometimes with poor service in the nearby bedroom and bathroom. This is important to know for people who may need to work or are relying on WiFi instead of data while traveling. Also, there is only AC in two of the bedrooms. One bedroom has no AC, which left us in a difficult position when we were negotiating which adult would sleep where and which adult would be in a bedroom without AC. The rest of the villa has no AC, but it does stay fairly cool on very hot days. During the day, when we were at the villa, we left the windows open for the beautiful fresh air as well as beautiful views of the Tuscan hillsides. Like most of Tuscany, the windows cannot be left open at night unless you want to be eaten alive by mosquitos. There is a TV with some channels in the downstairs living area. We experienced two other issues - a gas smell in the upstairs kitchen during our stay, which made us feel very nervous and also the gate broke, so after a very rocky back exit with a rental car, Paulo put it on manual mode as a resolution, so whenever we went to and from we needed to get out of the car to open/close the gate. A minor inconvenience but something worth noting. A lot of the plugs are very old and need to be adapted to even use Italy appliances, which left us in an odd position because there was only one adapter provided, which we used to power the espresso machine. I did feel like certain things could have been communicated better, such as that the hot water heater in one of the bathrooms is on a wall switch which we did not realize until 5 days of cold showers.
