Paradise in Tuscany
We arrived on Friday eve at 8pm, it all really looked like the pictures and was exactly what we hoped for. All hungry and hoping to be able to get some food, as we did not feel like going out again after a day of traveling. We where not disappointed:) Fabio and Maria Theresa made us a real Italian dinner, I found out later that this was actually their only day off working and they just prepared us a lovely meal, which is amazingly friendly, so thanks for the warm welcome! The regular dinner and breakfast was very good too, we enjoyed sitting there, in the shade, with a beautiful view of the valley, feeling the nice warm summer wind. Fabio is a very friendly and professional host.
We stayed for 10 nights in the blue apartment; The apartment was large enough for a family of 5 and was thanks to the airco and the shutters very pleasant during the hot days and nights.
Personally I found the matress in double bed way to hard, my husband was fine, but I ended up sleeping in the kids bedroom.
What made “our Italian home” extra nice where little things like the young kittens and the “rondini” (swallows’nests) next to our door, we enjoyed watching the beautiful birds fly in and out.
A point of improvement for the VRBO site: it was not easy to get in contact with the host beforehand. The mail on the site that said: “contact host” would be directed to Holidu. They did send me the contact details of Fabio, but it appeared as ****@******.com.
