Wonderful! If it were a spot of nature, I’d keep it a secret. We were a family of six (including teens) and stayed for two weeks in a very hot August. We expected to rent a villa but actually we were given the confidence to live in someone’s family country home. The pictures don’t do it justice; it’s far nicer. It’s in the Maremma, southern Tuscany and less touristy. The house lies off a small country road, in the middle of its olive grove, with a wonderful view (sunsets!) and its grounds are green with a myriad of plants and trees (we loved the figs). It’s roomy, very comfortably furnished, decorated, equipped, with a lovely patio for an aperitivo and outdoor dining. We loved the pool (very well maintained) which is located about 100 ft from the house in its own area of the grounds, with shady area, hammocks, sunbeds, etc. But it was the owner, Tommaso, who made the stay that extra warm personal experience, starting from the first on-line contact. He was attentive and had listed many suggestions of places to eat (some only minutes away), nearby villages and wineries to visit (some just down the road), and recommended beaches (30-40 minutes’ drive). He was readily available on the phone or WhatsApp for advice and help (like make the reservations in that restaurant you really want to try). If you want a Tuscany that is a few steps removed from the hustle-bustle of the vacation season, you can’t go wrong here. But keep it a secret .... ;-)
