Villa With Stunning View - Private Pool With Outdoor- Jacuzzi

We enjoyed a two-week stay at this VRBO property in early October 2023, enamored by the house's beauty and the scenic area. However, some improvements could refine the guest experience. The title boasts an outdoor jacuzzi, but with solar panel heating, the water didn’t surpass 80°F (27°C). Missing a backup heating system, it felt less like a 'hot tub', especially since it was a key factor in our selection. Although the listing promises both a washer and dryer, the latter was missing. Roberto, our host, kindly dried our laundry, but we value self-sufficiency in such matters. The advertised internet was underwhelming, with speeds at a meager 4.74 Mbps download and 0.39 Mbps upload. We resorted to a 5G hotspot from WiTourist, an additional $100/week cost, which luckily served our work needs well. Another hiccup was the absence of bug screens on some windows, leading to nighttime mosquito bites for a few guests. On the positive side, Roberto's hospitality shone through. When we found faulty fans, he promptly replaced them. He also offered invaluable airport drop-offs for an added fee. Mid-stay, a delightful tiramisu from Roberto's family graced our table, accompanying fantastic recommendations like Frescobaldi winery visits, Patricia's cooking lessons, and an unforgettable truffle hunting adventure. Conclusively, this property holds promise. My critique aims for constructive progress, not dismissal. I trust Roberto will heed this feedback.

This property is so amazing, authentic and so much peace and beauty in one place. Roberto was amazing. Perfect host, you could ask about anything and he took care of it. Overall a very special week. Thank you for this place and thank you Roberto.

Our family had the best time! Our host Roberto was awesome. He was responsive before the stay and checked on us daily once we arrived. He answered my calls once we arrived at the property and took care of any questions/issues immediately. Roberto also gave us suggestions for restaurants, activities and sights to see. He was truly so helpful and gracious. The property is breathtaking and and the house was set up to allow us to spend time together and also have some privacy. We would definitely visit again.

I'm always a bit skeptical about pics on platforms like VRBO because of deceptive angles, lighting, fisheye lens, etc.. I can honestly say the pics of this place, while gorgeous, do not do this villa justice. EVERYTHING was stunningly beautiful! The rooms are huge and the pool is actually bigger than it looks in the pictures, and Roberto is out there cleaning it every morning to ensure it stays pristine. To say this place is well maintained is an understatement. It was a perfect get-away that is isolated enough to allow for privacy, but close enough to groceries, trains, and restaurants to make everything convenient. If a vacation stay in a Tuscan Villa is on your bucket-list, don't pass up the opportunity to book this place. It's perfecto!
