Pam - we stayed at Casetta Sisti for one week, June 8-15 and we wanted to say how much we enjoyed ourselves there. It far exceeded our expectations and we don't think you make enough of how wonderful the views and the gardens are on your website!  There was plenty of room in the cottage and it was well-equipped.
The pool area was beautiful and we felt that it was a great destination to take children to.

Pleasingly it was very much as we had seen on the web, with no nasty hidden surprises!  A picture of the actual apartment we had booked was not available on the site, but Sean convinced me on the 'phone that it would be fine; which it was.  It was clean, well run and Mr Sisti and Jacqueline were very friendly and helpful.
The accommodation had all that we needed, and was clean/tidy and everything worked.  The pool is great and there are some wonderful views.  We had a wonderful time at the wine-tasting evening, which we nearly decided not to bother with!  But we were so glad we did; it was a good chance to meet some other guests (which helped people get on better during their stay), the food/wine were excellent, and the tasting was such fun.  It was good of Mr Sisti to open up his home to us - we did not expect this.  You should make more of this evening on the web site!
For a relatively small set-up, it was a surprise to have someone on the reception for quite long periods.  This was very welcome and Jacqueline was always polite, helpful and knowledgeable.  It was nice to be able to wander around the gardens, and there was always a peaceful place you could find, if you wanted to be by yourself.
Casa Sisti was easy to find, and perfectly placed for visiting the towns and Cities of the region.  Although in a quiet and peaceful location, it was surprisingly quick to get to Florence and Siena, and even easier for wonderful San Gimignano.
Great views across the surrounding countryside - you should mention the 'look-out' point on the site. A glass of wine by the pool, some olives, watching the swallows dive across the water in late afternoon - that is my idea of a little piece of Tuscan heaven.
We had an absolutely wonderful time in Tuscany, made all the better by the
excellent service you provided beforehand, and the accommodation itself.
Please feel free to make use of any of the comments made here.

Hi Pam
Just a quick email to say how much we all enjoyed our stay in Colle Val d’Elsa.  It was great to  wake up each morning to such fabulous views!!
Senor Sisti and his staff were most helpful and we will definitely recommend Casa Sisti to all our friends.
Thank you once again for all your help with the arrangements.
Regards

Excellent! Lots of space, spotless, lovely decor, clever layout of apartments gave as much privacy as you'd need, but still allowed opportunities to "meet the neighbours" if so inclined. The place never felt crowded, and at times we felt we owned the whole of Casa Sisti. The apartment had plenty of room for the four of us. The bathroom was huge by holiday accommodation standards, with a smashing shower. All furniture and equipment was of a very high standard, and we had lovely big, comfortable beds. We were provided with extra spotless bed linen and towels during our stay. The little terrace at the back of our apartment, the surrounding gardens and pool area and the barbecue areas in the garden gave great freedom and variety not usually available in a holiday complex. So much attention to detail and comfort! And a brand new hot tub! The location was excellent. Sienna, Florence, and several beautiful hill towns within very easy reach. We also drove to Assisi which was well worth the trip. Mr. Sisti was smiley and friendly, always tending the garden, and obviously very proud of Casa Sisti. Roberta at reception was exceptionally helpful and professional. This was a really welcoming and professionally run set-up.

I have just returned from our holiday and found our Tuscan accommodation extremely comfortable and the owners very very helpful.  Linda Page was also very helpful with advice concerning other things including tips on the area.  The apartment itself was full of all the mod cons yet still looked like a rustic Tuscan kitchen - very nice.  Needless to say, the village was extremely picturesque as well.  My cousins who accompanied me and had never been to Italy,  had never seen any villages like it and were very impressed.
There was nothing that I disliked about your service and Casa Sista was a lovely property where I could wander around and take photos of the sunset in the little lookout in the back corner of the yard.  I also chanced upon an Irishman, at sunset,  chasing a white rabbit through the trees on the property!!!!!!  It was quite funny, I don't think he knew that I was there at first.
I would certainly use you again and also recommend you to my friends.

We walked into Casetta Sisti at 11pm, very tired after a long journey with flight delays. Our immediate reaction as Signor Sisti showed us through the villa was that the website did not do the property justice - a fact which was only reinforced over the course of our 2 week stay. Every convenience was there, the house was designed for practicality and comfort in the hot weather, the pool and amenities attached to it were second to none, and when we finally wandered through the rest of the property, all we found were even more magnificent surprises - the lookout house, the big antique succarese? the rabbit, the swings, the lovely walks through the olive grove to the hidden orchard... and that doesn’t even mention massaging a sore back in the hot-tub looking out on the Tuscan sunset with a glass of wine in hand - beats Deep Heat every time! The views from the terrace after we’d had our meals each day were absolutely breath-taking, and the facilities in the office (both Internet and Simone’s translation abilities!) meant that we were truly able to relax away from home and work.

Overall, we had a really great time and thought the Villetta at Casa Sisti was wonderful - and a bit special. It is a lovely old house that was obviously built originally with quality materials and great attention to detail - and we really appreciated these things. The whole place seemed to have been quite recently re-decorated and the quality of the furnishings, bedding and bathroom fittings was to a very high standard. Add to that the overall facilities, the position, the location and the friendliness of Signor Sisti - it would be hard to find a better combination. I am sure we will be back at some point!

Clean, relaxing, informal, lovely location. Mr. Sisti greeted us at 11.30 p.m. approx.(we arrived in to Bologna at 8.30 pm.), having driven over 2 hours. He was very welcoming, it was a good start to our holidays. We also liked the grounds, we had 2 boys (aged 10 and 12) who enjoyed the pool and the rabbit. The location was very central to all the places we had planned to visit. We have taken away great memories of our stay and would highly
recommend it to our friends. There were some very good and reasonably priced restaurants in the immediate locality.

Dear Michela
We found your site surfing the internet and in the past have been tentative in using the internet for overseas accommodation. However, the service from To-Tuscany was first class. It was particularly helpful to be able to talk to Linda Page in Australia. Linda was extremely helpful and informative. Any questions were answered promptly and all arrangements went smoothly.
We had a great time and Zio Sisti and Simona could not have been more friendly or helpful.
We found the accommodation everything we expected from the photos. The apartment was very clean, comfortable and well appointed. Having the ’starter pack’ available was a great idea.
The surrounding property and garden added to the enjoyment. We often relaxed in the garden. It was a delight to walk through the village and surrounding country side and the local people were very friendly. We were able to use the local buses to visit nearby towns and markets.
We have no objection to using our comments if you see fit but would prefer christian names only.

Overall impression: Excellent. The apartment was well furnished and the outdoor areas very well maintained with really useful outdoor furniture (lots of tables, chairs, sunlounges and bbq access). Simona and Signor Sisit were charming, helpful and relaxed.
Highlights: The location made sightseeing easy and the weather was superb so we used the pool every day.
Unpleasant surprises:
No.

Dear dympna
Thank you for your email,  We did enjoy our staty at unit 7, Casa Sisti. 
We loved Casa Sisti.  I think it was a big higlight of our trip in Italy.  The welcome we recieved from Simona and Mr Sisti was warm and friendly, and they had useful advice which helped us to understand the transport system, where to purchase food and some sightseeing ideas.  We only speak english - so we valued Simonas ability to speak english.
The unit is spacious, was very clean, and the kitchen allowed us to prepare simply meals from the delicious local food we brought in Colle.
My two children also were delighted with the pet rooster that strolled around the playground.  There was plenty to keep them occupied, table tennis, swings, and the spa.  (The pool was getting a bit chilly in October - but in summer they would have spent the whole day there!).
I loved the beauty of the Campiglia landscape.  From several places there are wonderful views across the olive groves, across the valleys to the neighbouring hillsides. There is a sense of being in a timeless village.
I would strongly reccommend Casa Sisti to families who want to see some of the historic sites, such as San Gimignano, and also would like a day or so  to just relax in a the welcoming place that is Casa Sisti.
I am very grateful to Linda for suggesting such a perfect place for us to stay and I will definitely stay there again when I return to Tuscany - one day I hope.
Many Thanks
Joanne (Accommodation: Apartment 7)

Overall impression: Loved the accommodation.  Loved the week spent there.
There was no undue loud noise and other guests were very friendly towards us, although some couldn't understand us!!  Which added to the fun of it all.
Highlights: The week in the villa was very restful.  I spent a lot of time at the pool and we made some lovely friends there. I think being able to mix and socialise with others added an extra touch to the stay. And Simona was so helpful with information on where to go and how to get there. Mr Sisti was a darling - and it was lovely to see the rooster trotting after him down the drive.
Unpleasant surprises: None.
