Beautiful area but remote location
We stayed at this property for two weeks in September 2023. We stayed in the 3 bdr appt with friends of ours. The main draw for us was the central location in Tuscany where we could base our stay. The area is beautiful but the apartment and location have some drawbacks. Pros: The town of Iano is quaint, quiet and with very nice people. The restaurant and local small market were great with very friendly people. The surrounding area is picturesque and beautiful. Cons: The main cons for us was how remote the property was. Getting to and from the unit involved driving through several last miles of very windy and narrow mountain roads. This was a challenge at night when returning home. The unit was also smaller than the pictures or descriptions. While it had the three bedrooms, the kitchen was small and the sitting/living room was upstairs and had a low ceiling which made it a challenge to use. A couple of items that really surprised us and we’re frustrating we’re the air conditioning and the clothes washer. We were told the unit had air conditioning but it was only a single unit in the kitchen area that did not cool the bedrooms. We were also very surprised to find out that we had to pay for the use of the air conditioner separately from our booking. That was not disclosed on the listing. We were also told that there was laundry in the grounds. There was a single washer for all of the units and no dryer. We were really surprised to find out that we had to pay for laundry.

Sehr schöne Wohnung in einer traumhaften Umgebung
Wir haben den Aufenthalt als 4-köpfige Familie mit 2 Teenagern sehr genossen. Der Blick von der Terasse über das Tal am morgen ist wirklich wundervoll. Der Pool ist geräumig und obwohl man ihn mit anderen Gästen teilt, hatten wir genug Gelegenheit, ihn ganz allein für uns zu benutzen. Dem Haus merkt man an, dass es schon ein paar Jahre auf dem Buckel hat. Wer also besonders viel wert auf tadellose Sanitäranlagen legt, sollte es sich nochmal überlegen. Für uns war es aber ok. Was im Inserat zum Zeitpunkt unserer Buchung nicht vermerkt wurde, ist, dass der Strom beim Check-out separat abgerechnet wird. Die Nutzung der Klimaanlage ist hier der entscheidende Faktor. Es gibt nur ein Klimagerät in der zentral gelegenen Küche. An sehr heißen Tagen muss sie ununterbrochen laufen, wenn man möchte, dass auch die anderen Zimmer etwas davon abbekommen. Die Einrichtung der Wohnung ist authentisch und hat ihren Charme. In der Umgebung gibt es einige sehr schöne Dörfer mit guten Restaurants zu erschwinglichen Preisen. Pisa, Florenz, der Strand sind in ungefähr einer Stunde zu erreichen. Sie kurvigen Fahrten durch die malerische Landschaft machen aber auch Spaß!

Unser 2. Mal
Die Location kannten wir von unserem ersten Besuch im August 2019. Bis auf die liebevoll bereitgestellten Erzeugnisse aus dem Garten der Verwalterin, die pandemiebedingt fehlten, war alles so angenehm und nett wie beim ersten Mal.

Toller Urlaub!
Eine wundervolle Anlage mit unbezahlbarem Blick in die Weite der Toskana. Unsere Wohnung war sauber und gut eingerichtet, die Betten super. Sogar ein Grill ist vorhanden! Handtücher, auch für den Pool (ganz wunderbar mit Liegen und Sitzgruppen...) wurden gestellt. Man konnte hauseigenen Wein, Olivenöl, selbstgemachte Tomatensauce und viele Dinge des tägl. Bedarfs kaufen, oder in den kleinen, feinen Supermarkt gegenüber gehen. Die Vermieterin und ihre Familie waren oft vor Ort, haben nach dem Rechten geschaut und waren immer freundlich und offen für ein Gespräch. Täglich gab es frisches Obst und Gemüse (gratis!!!) in den Körben neben der Bar. Elisabetta and family thanks for having us such a great time in the tuscany!
