Relax in Paradise
My wife & I stayed at Pian Di Luca for 4 nights but wish it could have been longer. We were on a longer trip so needed somewhere quiet & comfortable to relax & rejuvenate. Pian Di Luca was perfect for our needs. what we wanted. The cottage was clean, comfortable & had everything we needed. The outdoor space and in particular the pool with a view was spectacular. We would definitely return next time we are in the area.

Wonderful property in gorgeous surroundings. Very tranquil and peaceful, with spectacular views.
Really lovely property, very beautiful. We loved the infinity pool. Only downside was the weather - no-one's fault! We had sun for the first few days, but as it is mountainous, the rest of the week was cold and rainy (colder than at home - UK!), so unfortunately we couldn't use the pool much. We should have taken waterproofs! That said, the villa was very well equipped and we found a fantastic restaurant up the road - La Baglia. 6 bottles of gorgeous wine on arrival and delicious home grown tomatoes. The owner was extremely responsive when we couldn't get the gas working and it was dealt with very efficiently. We loved it - thank you. :-)

Thank you for your review. What a shame you had a bad weather week. The weather has been beautifully hot for months and is now back to usual September weather of 27/28 degrees. The locals were happy for some rain, but not so holidaymakers! Glad you loved the place despite being unlucky weatherwise - you are right, the location and the views are beautiful and the owner is very helpful. Thank you for letting me know that you have already recommended to friends. We hope you come again! Lorraine at tuscan-retreast

Fabulous holiday
We have just returned from a wonderful stay here at this lovely cottage. Fabulous location with breathtaking views. The house has everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. We used the pizza oven and barbecue many times. The owner and his lovely daughter came to greet us on arrival with gifts of wine from his vineyard and vegetables from her garden (best tomatoes we've ever tasted anywhere). Would recommend.

Schönes, ruhiges, kleines Steinhaus mit eigenem Infinitypool und großen umzäunten Grundstück.
Wir haben dort unsere Flitterwochen verbracht und haben die Stille und das Panorama sehr genossen. Der Pool mit dem grandiosen Ausblick ist einfach kaum mit Worten zu beschreiben. Die Vermieter sind sehr gastfreundlich und hilfsbereit und man bekommt das ein oder andere Präsent. Interessenten sollten sich aber darüber im Klaren sein, dass weder eine Spülmaschine noch ein Staubsauger vorhanden ist. Dafür entschädigt aber bei kühlen Wetter der Kamin außerordentlich. Brennholz für den Kamin und dem Pizzaofen, wird auf Wunsch gratis geliefert. Für jemand, der entschleunigt werden will, ist dieses Anwesen sehr zu empfehlen.

Total Privat?
Der Pool ist wirklich Traumhaft. Leider trifft total privat und ruhig nicht zu. Nebenan gab es ein grösseres haus mit etwa 7 personen und ein baby. Auf der anderen Seite hat einer mit einer motorsäge gearbeitet. Leider gab es auch kein holz für den pizza ofen oder für den grill.

Thank you for your review. We are sorry you did not feel private. When the second house was built around 10 years ago, we went there and thoroughly checked from every angle to ensure the first house remained totally private. From the garden, the pool and everywhere one could not see anyone at your property, due to the hills, trees and hedging etc. It is a shame alot of strimming was taking place in the area when you were there - whilst it is important that land is kept clean to protect against fire, if you had spoken with the owner one of the times he came to visit with fresh produce from his allotment, he would have spoken to the landowner concerned. I think you were very unlucky since you will see from the other reviews, that the total tranquility and peace of the place is a comment made by most guests. I do wish you had mentioned to the owner when he visited or to us by phone , (we are all available 24 hours a day) that the wood had run out, more would have been provided for you immediately. Apologies from the owner that he didn't notice the wood was finished. We hope you enjoyed your stay just the same. Lorraine at tuscan-retreats

Hi Ingen I am sorry you didn't enjoy this wonderful place. The temperature is definitely cooler high up in the mountains which is one of the reasons the house is so popular, as it is 5 degrees cooler for sleeping but high enough up to get lots of sunshine during the day. We are sorry also that the internet was not working. We understand that there was a problem which you reported to the owner and that is was a broken modem which was then resolved by an engineer shortly into your holiday. We have asked subsequent guests to check the internet and they advise it is now fine. Best wishes Lorraine from tuscan-retreats

Grandiose Aussicht
Das Ferienhaus ist genauso wie auf den Bildern. Die Aussicht am Pool ist fantastisch. Das Haus hat ein großes eingezäuntes Gelände auf dem sich die Kinder und der Hund sehr wohl gefühlt haben. Es liegt abgeschieden in einem winzigen Ort und man kann die Ruhe genießen. Da es relativ hoch liegt sind die Sommernächte angenehm kühl und man wird kaum von Mücken gestört. In der Umgebung gibt es viele Spazier- und Wandermöglichkeiten, genauso wie viele kleine Dörfer genauso wie man sie sich in der Toskana vorstellt. Es gibt einen Pizzaofen den man auf jeden Fall ausprobieren sollte. Der Kontakt zu den Besitzern und der Agentur lief Reibungslos und war sehr freundlich. Wir würden auf jeden Fall noch einmal hinfahren.

Ein zauberhafter Ort!!
Wir haben eine wirklich großartige Woche in Pian Di Luca verbracht. Empfangen wurden wir mit 6 Flaschen Wein der sehr freundlichen Besitzer. Die Bilder im Internet täuschen nicht, es ist einfach traumhaft schön. Die Aussicht, der Pool und der große Garten sind wundervoll. Wir haben den Pizzaofen und den Grill ausgiebig genutzt. Kleine Anmerkung, ein Geschirrspüler ist nicht vorhanden, hat uns aber überhaupt nicht gestört. Es gab genug Utensilien für die Küche und alles war sehr sauber. Außerdem standen Spülmittel, Lappen, Schwamm, Waschmittel, Mülltüten, Geschirrhandtücher, Gewürze etc bereit. Der Kontakt über die Agentur Tuscan Retreats war sehr freundlich und hilfreich (extra Informationsmaterial! ). Es gibt noch ein größeres Haus nebenan, welches ebenfalls vermietet wird. Da beide Grundstücke sehr groß sind, stört das überhaupt nicht. Man war auf dem Grundstück ganz alleine für sich. Wer einen erholsamen Urlaub in spektakulärer Lage sucht, ist hier genau richtig. Kinder können sich im Garten und im Pool austoben, die Eltern entspannen. Empfehlen können wir einen Ausflug nach Pisa, eine wunderschöne Stadt. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder, vielen Dank für alles!!

Grandioser Ort
Wir verbrachten eine Woche Anfang Juni in dem schönen Häuschen. Die Bilder geben einen guten Überblick, aber wenn man dort selbst steht, ist es einfach umwerfend. Im Haus ist alles sauber und sehr gut ausgestattet. In der Küche gibt es wirklich alle Utensilien, die man braucht. Die Abende haben wir vor dem Kaminfeuer verbracht-nicht nur wegen der Romantik, es war abends noch recht kühl. Wir haben den Aufenthalt hier sehr genossen. Der Kontakt über Lorraine von der Agentur zu den Vermietern Paolo und Andrea war unkompliziert und nett, Danke!

Amazing stay!
We had a great stay in this holiday home, the house is really nice, but the garden and especially the pool are amazing! The view is so beautiful, we really enjoyed our stay and our two boys had the time of their life in the pool. The host, Silvia, is very nice, we got home made wine as a welcome present and she gave advice about the area and the interesting sights. Thank you very much!

We had an really good week with our kids. They enjoyed the big garden and we the wonderfull silence.
Our week at the end of september was really great. We had wonderfull weather, so the near seaside was our goal nearly every day. But also the garden was great for our kids. The silence up in the hills is one of a kind and so was the way up there, which made real fun to everyone in the car everytime. If you are looking for a small house, with silence, view, seaside and garden for some kids, this is all you will need. We are planing to come back.
