Very nice pleasant house in the middle of Orciatico. Sufficient shade and for those who want a lot of space for sunbathing. The pool was blissful and you can relax in the jacuzzi. From the garden you have a beautiful view of the Tuscan hills and Volterra. Friendly people in the village with the presence of a small shop, a bank and bar. Recommended! Via the owner (Gualandi) also bought wine and olive oil from their own vines and orchard.
Nice location but urgently in need of updating and the cleaning could be much better. Recommend the following tenants to take extra measures against the mosquitoes I was there on Saturday and the pool was not maintained. Had to work with 3 men on Wednesday and Thursday to get it clean ???
Great accommodation! Easily accessible from the road. At the cottage you have 3 garages, an electronic gate for the car and a fence / fence around the whole house. House is modern. Large (full) kitchen, excellent bathrooms. Pool and garden also very nicely landscaped and maintained. You can turn on a robot yourself to scrub the pool every night. Only thing missing for us were some soft cushions for the sunbeds.
The house, the pool / whirlpool, the quiet, idyllic location, everything exactly as we wanted it to be. We were there in September 2021 and had heavenly weather. Tuscany is magical.
Beautiful location in a restored olive oil factory with several terraces to enjoy the garden, lovely swimming pool and beautiful views of the valley. Romantic village with minimal amenities. Very friendly welcome by the owner. Village is glued to a hill, so a lot of climbing. Also on the ground floor in the house many steps between the different rooms. Beds could use a better mattress.Ideal place for a quiet holiday (in your own garden) or as a base for beautiful cultural excursions in the beautiful cities in the area.
Spacious house with beautiful private pool. There are a number of shady spots in the garden. Located in the center of a very small village with no through traffic. There is a cafe and very small supermarket very close to the house.
