Love the location up in the hillside.
It was very warm while our stay, so the bedroom in 2.nd floor was to hot to sleep in. This is not anything that host can do about.

We are truly impressed by your place and we’re leaving with beautiful memories. Your dogs are sweet and loving — they brightened every evening and even joined us on walks around the area like personal tour guides. Your garden is pure magic! The scent of jasmine will forever remind us of this place. And the taste of rosemary and mint — unforgettable.
The house is located on a hill with an incredible view, surrounded by olive groves. Inside, you’ll find everything you need to create a true Italian dinner — the kitchen looks like it’s straight out of an Italian movie. Cooking here was a real pleasure. Every room is air-conditioned, and the view from the master bedroom is breathtaking. The pool is spotless and tucked away in a peaceful corner. This is the perfect place for total relaxation, far from the hustle and bustle of the city.

The pool and the pool area is nice. A short walking distance down the hill. The hosts were nice and very helpful and tried their best to help us with the various problems we had.
The house is very high up on a mountain and the road is a very small and crooked pathway. Getting all the way up in our van was no easy task. Our van broke down and then no taxis were willing to pick us up in the house. The house has no air condition and was extremely hot, especially the upper floors. The owners gave us extra fans which helped but was not enough. The kitchen equipment is old and not up to our standard. We could never really cook in the house. The outdoor barbeque area is quite shabby. We were greeted by two very loud dogs which barked a lot the whole stay. Would have liked to know beforehand that there would be loose dogs around.

Nothing. Within five minutes we decided not to stay. The property was not as advertised. It was isolated, inaccessible and at the top of a mountain. The picture (of a swimming pool which could be anywhere) is extremely misleading.
The isolation, the inaccessiblity and the owner's two dangerous dogs which he did not keep under control. Our safety and well being was compromised. As we left, one of the dogs tried to jump into our car through the window. We didn't stay, he's refusing to refund our money. His actual words: "You give me problem. I give you nothing" Avoid at all costs

Beautiful property, perfectly renovated country location and vistas. Just as memorable was the friendly greeting by the dog who lived next door and was always happy to see us return
Just to be aware that parking and approach for a bigger car can be tricky at first

One of the most outstanding, mysterious places we’ve been to. And we travel quite a lot! Personality of the hosts, attention, uniqueness of the houses themselves… all this makes it a perfect place for a selected and conscious traveller.
First thing that makes you jaw drop is the road leading upwards. Sometimes you wonder if your driving skills are what you thought they are. The views, however, are magnificent. The stone constructed houses are located on a hill and the next morning after your arrival at the sunrise you will know exactly this was the right choice.
We first occupied older and then the smaller but a bit newer house. The bigger one feels like its years long inhabitants left just a moment ago. You have all equipment, almost all is in its original condition. Still, better to not be alone there, although hosts’ very friendly dogs help you feel safe and taken care of. The rooms are equipped with original beds, wardrobes and tables so you feel time has stopped some fifty years ago.
The smaller house was much more to our taste. A bit more modern, air conditioned so less insects inside. Fully equipped kitchen, washing machine with dryer, dishwasher, small garden place with table to serve breakfasts. Not to mention oven, microwave if one wants to use them, fridge, coffee machines - literally everything. Except electric kettle perhaps ;)
The pool is great. Does not quite fit the character of the place though, it’s ultra modern and the place located within forest and trees just feels like from the past.
Not everything is perfect, do not expect surgical sterility within the houses - they are clean, bed clothes are perfectly fresh but the character is what it is. I personally would just have some nets against insects in the windows. I’m just not sure whether it’s possible given how old the windows themselves are.
Mind that you must have a car while staying here.
Electric kettle much needed, perhaps ;)
Road can be too bumpy to some, don't expect your car to thank you...

-The location of the house is really beautiful up the hill of Lucca
-The pool has a perfect size with a nice view.
-The house is furnished in typical Tuscan style with a well equipped kitchen and a BBQ.
-There are a lot of mosquitos around and unfortunately the beds don’t have mosquito nets.
- The villa is supposed to have two bedrooms. One is really nice. The second bedroom is not shown at any of the pictures: it doesn’t have a door and a bunk bed.

The pool is amazing!! The owner was very kind and very helpful. The view was great too.
The kitchen, since there was no kitchen counter, water boiler. It was old.
One of the three beds was saggy.

Pobyt w Tenuta San Giovanni to czysta przyjemność, której esencją jest klasyczny włoski styl nieruchomości. Lokalizacja oferuje upragniony spokój, z dala od zgiełku i natłoku turystów. Każdy dzień umilany był niezapomnianym widokiem spektakularnych wschodów słońca. Serdecznie polecam to miejsce na prawdziwy, relaksujący włoski wypoczynek.

Die Lage auf dem Berg war gut und dass man dort allein war.
Außenanlage ungepflegt, Pool war unsauber (wir waren eine Woche dort) und er wurde erst am letzten Tag gereinigt. Waschmaschine kaputt, obwohl Zusage vom Besitzer, das sie repariert wird, passierte nichts. Wohnzimmer dunkel und modriger Geruch. Küche (Möbel abgewohnt) und Bad waren ok. Hauptschlafzimmer mit Panoramablick waren sehr schön, aber die Fenster und die Vorhänge innen und aussen waren schmutzig. Am schlimmsten war das permanente Hundegebell in der Nacht (Hunde vom Eigentümer im Nachbarhaus).

Uns hat alles gefallen. Es war idyllisch, gemütlich, sauber - einfach wunderbar. Dieser Urlaub war einfach dank des tollen Hauses und der Gegend nicht zu toppen. Das Haus liegt etwas abseits oben auf dem Berg. Das muss man mögen, wir mochten es sehr. Wir konnten alle schönen Tagesausflüge nach Pisa, Lucca, Florenz, Calci usw. machen und abends in „unser“ gemütliches Heim zurückkehren. Einmal haben wir uns ausgesperrt. Da hat uns unser Vermieter „gerettet“, obwohl er sicher an diesem Abend Besseres vorgehabt hätte. Aber er war - so schnell es eben ging - zur Stelle.
Auch den wunderbaren Pool konnten wir dank des Wetters ausgiebig nutzen.
Die Einrichtung des Hauses ließ keine Wünsche offen, es war so gemütlich eingerichtet, ein wenig aus der Zeit gefallen, aber gerade das machte den Charme aus. Ich könnte noch einen ganzen Roman schreiben und hoffe sehr, dass ich dem Haus und seiner wundervollen Vermieterfamilie gerecht werden konnte.

Das Haus ist sehr gemütlich. Man konnte sich sofort zu Hause fühlen. Viel Platz. Liebevoll eingerichtet. Authentisch. Natürlich ist der Pool das absolute Highlight und auch die Aussicht ist fantastisch. Die Gastgeber sind top und rundum professionell. Die zwei Hunde sind unglaublich lieb. Die Umgebung lädt zum Spaziergang ein.
Nicht gefallen ist viel zu viel. Aber: Man sollte wissen, dass man für den Weg nach oben ein geübter Autofahrer bzw. Autofahrerin sein sollte.
Das schafft man dann aber locker.
Hupen nicht vergessen😳
