A lovely villa excellently furnished. A good base to explore Florence and Lucca (a beautiful city) and with each access to local shops and restaurants.
Fabio was very helpful throughout our stay.
Elena en Simone waren bijzonder lief en gastvrij. Het huis met omliggend terrein smaakvol ingericht.
Wij werden ontvangen alsof we al jaren vrienden waren.
Ze hebben een speciaal plekje in onze harten.
[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] Elena and Simone were exceptionally kind and hospitable. The house and surrounding grounds were tastefully decorated.
We were welcomed as if we had been friends for years.
They hold a special place in our hearts.
Do yourself a favor by staying here on your next visit to Morbegno. From the wood ceilings to the blue tile in the bathroom, this place is a gem. The building was built in the 1400s and retains its charm, while being completely modern.
It isn't clean, it's CLEAN. And then some.
The couple who own it are friendly and attentive, but not intrusive.
The neighborhood is so picture-perfect authentic that it almost felt artificial. Think Disney World Italyland. But then you notice the kids on their way to school, the shopkeepers and business people on their way to work, and you realize that they can't all be cast members.
The neighborhood has a very safe feel to it. We saw women walking alone and unbothered between 6:00 am and 11:00 pm.
There are probably a dozen or more places to eat within a 10 minute walk.
A couple of caveats:
It's on floor 2 (American 3rd Floor) and there is no lift/elevator so a person who requires a wheelchair is very likely unable to access the unit. My spouse uses a cane and didn't have any difficulty.
Automobiles aren't permitted in the area and the nearest 24 hour free parking lot is about an 8 minute walk. There are additional free options a little farther away.
The hosts also operate a pub on the ground floor. That sounds like it could be a problem, but it isn't- at least it wasn’t for us. It attracts a friendly clientele, not a rowdy one. The apartment has heavy, old-style shutters and modern insulated windows so we never heard a peep. They also serve great pub grub. Try the Valtellina Burger.
We would definitely stay there again.
The first thing that hits you on arrival is the view, it is everything we expected from our Tuscan retreat. The apartment is spacious, functional and clean. There is plenty of storage and more than enough room for 2 people. As this is a studio apartment there is no washing machine or oven, only 2 hobs, but we knew this before we arrived and it worked for us. The terrace area is amazing with views to die for. There is plenty of room with ample seating and a discreet washing line to dry off towels etc.
The swimming pool and grounds are excellent, kept so well maintained and clean. The swimming pool is lovely and so peaceful. As there are only 3 apartments there is always plenty of room, there are 3 sets of sunbeds with umbrellas and tables and chairs. Each apartment has its own gated entrance and allocated parking space, so if you have a car it's no problem.
The accommodation is a short walk from the entrance of beautiful San Gimignano and the local supermarket. However, it is quite a steep hill and maybe something to keep in mind if you have limited mobility.
We would ABSOLUTLY recommend this accommodation. The welcome, view and facilities are excellent. Don't miss this opportunity to experience a perfect Tuscan break.
Lastly but probably the most important thing is the family who welcome you with open arms and are there to assist with anything you need. Massive thanks to Franco and his lovely family.
Posto favoloso, immerso nel verde e con una vista mozzafiato sulle crete senesi e sulle dolci colline toscane. Siamo stati in 12 in questa villa riservata tutta per noi, con piscina e doccia esterna, barbecue, tavoli da esterno, lettini, per poter godere della tranquillità del posto e della natura circostante. I tre appartamenti sono curati nei minimi dettagli e dotati di ogni comfort per un soggiorno perfetto.
Ringraziamo Riccardo e sua moglie per la loro ospitalità e piena disponibilità a soddisfare ogni nostra esigenza.
Consigliatissimo, torneremo!!
[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] A fabulous place, surrounded by greenery and with a breathtaking view of the Crete Senesi and the rolling Tuscan hills. Twelve of us stayed in this villa, all to ourselves, with a pool and outdoor shower, barbecue, outdoor tables, and sun loungers, allowing us to enjoy the tranquility of the place and the surrounding nature. The three apartments are meticulously maintained and equipped with every comfort for a perfect stay.
We thank Riccardo and his wife for their hospitality and complete willingness to meet our every need.
Highly recommended, we'll be back!!
The apartment is absolutely as described. Clean, comfortable and well supplied with all the necessities (apart from a kettle!). Great location an easy walk into the middle of town and down to the nearest beach.
Alles ist schön und gut, wenn nicht das Problem mit dem Müll wäre. Wir sind mit dem Sortieren des Mülls einverstanden, aber dass man selbst die Container mit den Tüten vollen Müll jeden Tag (jeden Tag was anderes) an den Straßenrand stellen soll...ist schon was eigenartiges... Besonders, weil die Container schon hinter dem Haus stehen. Man sammelt dort den sortierten Müll. Dazu kommt, das der Gastgeber ist zwar sehr nett und freundlich, spricht nur Italienisch und konnte nicht erklären, wie man es machen muss.
Das Bellen vom Hund (der Gastgeber hat ein Hund) geht manchmal auf die Nerven. Es fehl ein richtigen Wohnzimmer mit einer Couch und einem Fernseher (ein kleiner Fernseher 40cm ist in der Küche - laufen nur italienische Programme).
Sonst ist alles gut und die Preisleistung-Verhältnis stimmt!!! Vielen Dank für den schönen Urlaub!!!
[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] Everything would be fine if it weren't for the garbage problem. We're okay with the garbage sorting, but having to put the containers full of garbage bags (different ones every day) out at the curb yourself every day... is a bit strange... especially since the containers are already behind the house. You collect the sorted garbage there. On top of that, the host, although very nice and friendly, only speaks Italian and couldn't explain how it's done.
The barking of the dog (the host has a dog) is sometimes annoying. There's no proper living room with a couch and a TV (there's a small 40cm TV in the kitchen - it only shows Italian channels).
Otherwise, everything is good and the price-performance ratio is right!!! Thank you for the wonderful vacation!!!
The family who owned the villa really made us feel welcome and were very kind. Although we enjoyed our stay there were a few things that would have made our stay perfect.
The bedroom upstairs, the bathroom would have been perfect If moved to where the spare bed was located. This reason is the height wasn’t high enough and we kept banging our heads.
The sofa had a big tear in it that wasn’t nice to see especially as the room was lovely it spoilt the look of it.
The gardens needed to be kept short due to the bites we all received! And some of the sun beds were broken. We were not also aware the owners actually lived below and we were conscious of how late we sat outside for in the evenings!
That said we would happily return if these minor details were corrected.
