What were the highlights of your holiday? the location of the villa afforded us many day-trips: firenze, greve, panzano, siena, pisa, san gimignano, colle val d'elsa, etc. we loved the ability to visit daily markets in under 15 minutes driving. it allowed us to connect to to the community where we were staying, and support the artisans/farmers/vendors who live/work in the area. also, the laid-back lifestyle in the small villages in tuscany was a pleasant departure from all of the larger tourist-y cities we visited, and also afforded us a much-needed respite from the pace of "normal" life back in Canada.
What was your overall impression of the accommodation? amazing view, comfortable, clean, after 24 hours it felt like home
Did you have any unpleasant surprises during your stay with us? the smaller detached portion of our villa had a bit of a "musty" smell, as if it needed to be aired out a little bit. also, for one day, it smelled a bit like sewage, as if there was a back up in the sewage line even though there was no problem with any of the plumbing. the internet was not reliable - connection was strong one minute, and then gone the next, for no apparent reason. overall, these surprises were minor and did not detract from the overall experience.
Do you have any other comments regarding the accommodation or service? we spent 23 days in italy, 7 of which were spent at villa sornano. these 7 days were, by far, the highlight of our trip, and we are very much looking forward to returning to tuscany as soon as we can.

A problem was found with the pipeworks within the hamlet of Sornano and was fixed by the local commune - the smell was not within the actual villa.

What were the highlights of your holiday? Villa, Pool, Siena, San Gimianio, Pienza, Buonconvento
What was your overall impression of the accommodation? Very good. Nicely laid out, comfortable. well maintained. Only negatives were limited range of glasses and cups etc for the kitchen. The second house was not very child friendly - the barriers were insufficient to stop kids falling from the mezzanie - rather unsafe.
Did you have any unpleasant surprises during your stay with us? Poggibonsi is not very nice as a town but villa location was great

Stay: July 2010
What were the highlights of your holiday? The villa, it's pool, proximity to absolutely everything, a wonderful meal in Poggibonsi one evening where the family owners could not have been more accommodating, and Andrea the chef.
what was your overall impression of the accommodation? Perfect. We could not have asked for better. The villa matched the web-site photos and was beautifully maintained. We would gladly rent it again. If it came up for sale we would love to know.
Did you have any unpleasant surprises? Road signs can be a little confusing. Otherwise nothing.
Do you have any other comments? This was quite simply the best week of a holiday we have ever had as a family. We would gladly use To Tuscany again. Please convey to the owners of the villa how much we enjoyed the use of their property.

I like To Tuscany, partly because it has a tremendous range of villas, and partly because (unlike many companies) it has an excellent website that provides what you really want when choosing a villa.

Our accommodation, which cost less than £800 for the week, is in a converted stone farmhouse next to a 12th Century Franciscan chapel. There is a pergola shaded by vines round the back here we quickly settle into a rhythm of eating long pasta suppers while the shadows lengthen.
