Reviews

Russ & Maureen May, 2016 Boston, MA USA

The property is fantastic as are the host and hostess, Marco and Cecilia who live nearby but are never "in your face". Everything is as good or better than it appears on Haven in Paris including the house, the pool, and the surrounding countryside. It's convenient to several typical Tuscan villages as well as Siena and Florence. We stayed for 4 weeks and had lots of visitors, all of whom loved it.
