Very nice Lady, the house is huge and the plot is big enough that you barely notice the other families there.

A perfect holiday in an old Tuscany home.Surrounded by olive trees and vineyard, the place is peaceful and relaxing. Large garden area makes it ideal for the children. All rooms have bathrooms what is very comfortable. Kitchen and dining room is spacious and well equipped. You can try your hands with real pizza oven.
A few tips to make your holiday perfect:
nearest supermarket is in Pontassieve, small shop is in walking distance but it was closed for two weeks in September
best way to reach Florence is a train from S.Ellero (few minutes by car from apartment)
you can find very good pizza in Donnini (few km from Pelago)
old mill and bridge in Pagiano is a true gem in a walking distance (a must!)
best place to buy local products (oil, wine, etc) is VICAS in Pontassieve, very good choice and prices.

"Typical rustic farmhouse (old stones), in a remarquable beautiful environment, in the middle of vineyards(vines) and of olive trees. Comfortable (5 bathrooms), 2 small swimming pools.
A lot of peace in the nature. It Allows to travel towards Toscane (Florence (25mn), Sienne, Arezzo, Pise, San Giminiano ...).
Enjoy-it !"

"The farmhouse is located in a relaxing and beautiful environment between the vineyards and the olive trees. The rustic apartment is large and has all the needed equipment (each bedroom has a bathroom and there is some material for babies - chair and baby cot, swings in the garden). The little shop on the main road has everything you need to eat if you don’t want to take the car to buy groceries in bigger supermarket. The house is situated near to a bus stop to Pontassieve where you can get the train to Firenze (also charming little railway station Sant’Ellero accessible by car in 10min with trains to Firenze every hour).
We spent a wonderful vacation in Sylvia’s house. Sylvia and her family made us feel at home, they were always helpful with the best suggestions. The fact that there are 2 swimming pools make it easy to live together with another family (in the second apartment). A place we definitely recommend via homelidays!
