My family had a wonderful week at the Villa Centoni in Montecarlo. The villa was everything we wanted: clean, spacious, beautiful views, large rooms, a nice swimming pool, nicely appointed kitchen, and plumbing that worked. It was very private, but close to the small town of Montecarlo. We were seeking a rental that was not in some tourism hot spot, and I don't think we saw any during our trip. Montecarlo was a 10 minute walk away and had great restaurants at very reasonable prices. The wine was excellent and very inexpensive. We were close enough to Pisa and Florence for anyone who wanted the tourist experience. Lastly, our hosts were very welcoming, kind, and not intrusive in any way. They responded immediately to our questions about anything. Like the rest of the people in this area, kindness and friendliness oozed out of their every pore. It was all around probably our best vacation and we would not hesitate to recommend it very highly.
