Fantastic!
If you are looking for a place in the stunning Tuscan countryside, this fits the bill nicely! A car is required and you have to travel about 3kms down a gravel road but once you are there, it is outstanding! The peace, the quiet, the beautiful rolling hills. Mike is an excellent host, is responsive and provides all the information you need to have a fantastic visit. The apartment is on the second floor so there are 17 steps to navigate but the views are incredible. Two nicely sized bedrooms, two bathrooms, a fully stocked kitchen, decent internet and laundry. What more could you ask for? We loved it.

Fantastic property in a beautiful location. All home comforts provided and a great swimming pool and landscaped outdoor space. Mike was a gem supporting us with lots of info before we arrived and on hand should anything arise whilst we were there. Would not hesitate to recommend to others.

Rural Bliss
After 2 days in Florence, in the middle of an intense heatwave, it was a relief to arrive at this lovely Italian home in the countryside. With stone walls, large windows and air conditioning, it was a comfortable retreat after a morning excursion. Within half an hour of Volterra (stunning) and San Gimignano (try the pink grapefruit and champagne world championship-winning ice cream!) we may have felt we were living in the middle of nowhere but there is so much to see and do within a short driving distance. The cottage itself has almost everything you need (except the advertised dishwasher) but the gorgeous view from the kitchen window almost erases this as you wash up. Parking outside the complex is plentiful and access to Netflix useful when the mosquitoes arrive in the dark of a Summer's evening. We made daily use of the pool and even there the cottage owns the most comfortable of loungers. The information Mike sends and speedy response to questions made it all very easy for us. He even recommended a supermarket then gave us precise driving instructions from it. The cottage was very clean on arrival although the oven would benefit from some attention.. (I find that in every holiday rental). Thank you Mike-we have so many happy memories to treasure

Peaceful well equipped apartment.
Excellent apartment in remote, quiet countryside. Mike has thought of most things and the directions and information were very complete and helpful. We weren’t able to use the pool because the weather didn’t cooperate but it looked lovely. The only thing I would change is to improve the window screens because some don’t have screens, and we like to have windows open and he said that is on his list. All and all as very nice stay.

Quiet, rural location
Beautiful, quiet, rural location. Well kept & equipped accommodation. Nice pool. Great to explore places such as San Gimignano & Volterra. Mike, the owner, is very friendly, communicative & helpful. Cons for us as a young family: a little bit isolated, the pool being a uniform depth wasn’t ideal for really little ones. I think it’s best suited for older couples & families. Overall, very satisfied.

Panoramic Views of Tuscany Countryside
This is a beautiful property, with a view of Volterra in the distance. Beautiful at night. We woke up most mornings to the sounds of local hunters and their dogs combing the hills for quail. The apartment is lovely and spacious with everything you need if you decide to dine at home. There’s a great patio with table chairs and a barbeque. COOP supermarkets are located in 2 nearby towns and offer a great selection of groceries, meats and produce. Mike, the owner provided us with an encyclopedia of information on market days, restaurants, wineries etc which we took advantage us. He was easily accessible thru WhatsApp and a small problem with the locking mechanism on our door was fixed within 24 hours. The pool was very nice as the temperatures were around 28 - 30 c during our stay. We would definately recommend this property. Thanks again Mike.

5* Tuscan heaven.
Couldn’t get home quick enough to write a review of La Vista Grande because it is so well deserved!! We were a party of two couples who have just returned from an amazing 2 weeks of heaven, spent in a beautiful apartment with the best views we have ever experienced from a holiday home, and we have been fortunate to have been on many. The bedrooms were big and both had en-suites and air con which was so welcome on the hot nights. During our stay I had to contact Mike due to one of the air con units not working but he responded so promptly that we were able to resolve the problem within half an hour. The weather was very hot throughout out stay but the small apartment complex is positioned on a hill and with La Vista Grande being on the first floor we had a lovely breeze flowing through the apartment. The well maintained pool also benefitted from the breeze too. We spent many an afternoon sitting by the pool reading, swimming and just relaxing taking in the beautiful Tuscan views. There were only ever a few other people in the pool at any one time, and often we had it to ourselves. Our garden allowed us privacy and shade which was an important factor for us when we booked the apartment. I think we had the best views of any of the apartments because we had a distant view of the beautiful medieval town of Volterra which lit up at night. La Vista Grande was perfectly located for visits to Pisa, Siena, Lucca, San Gigimiano, Volterra and Florence. There were so many more local towns to explore too. We would love to return to La Vista Grande and will certainly be recommending it our families and friends. What a treat they have in store!!!

We enjoyed 6 days at Mikes property. The accommodation was really comfortable. With everything you could possibly need for a holiday stay. We were very fortunate to be just 1 of 4 groups of guests staying at the accommodation. So when using the pool we invariably had it all to ourselves. The accommodation is ideally placed between Florence and Siena so we opted to use the train from Poggibonsi as it was easier to park for free at the station and the fare was cheap. Don’t forget to visit Volterra and San Giminganano, some of the other local villages are spectacular too. That you Mike for being such a great host, a pleasure to talk with you. Everything was done to make our stay comfortable. Friends of ours have already asked us for information of how to book, they were so impressed with our pictures and location for visits to Florence and Siena.
