The villa lived up to all our expectations. It is exactly as described, clean and very well maintained. The views from the bedrooms and the swimming pool area of the terraced garden are stunning.
There were eight of us - 4 adults and 4 children - so the accommodation was perfect, with two en-suite bedrooms for the adults. The other main bathroom on the bedroom floor is huge with a bath, and the downstairs shower room is ideal for popping in from the pool and garden as necessary during the day. There is plenty of wardrobe and drawer space in the bedrooms. One of the non ensuite bedrooms has a lovely little balcony with table and chairs. All the bedrooms are a good size and would be equally ideal for four adult couples. We noted there was a travel cot available in one of the bedrooms, plus a good selection of books and games which we made use of. There was plenty of spare bedding in the cupboards if needed, and a large bath towel plus small towel per person were provided.
Downstairs is also as described in the brochure - good sized lounge with huge L-shaped sofa on which all eight of us could sit in comfort, plus another smaller sofa. Sky tv, lots of dvds and play station also provided. The kitchen had everything we needed - plenty of crockery, cutlery, pots and pans, and a large kitchen table, plus full size cooker, large fridge with freezer, microwave, washing machine and dishwasher. We used the even larger outside table shown in the photo all the time because the weather was beautiful. The pool is very clean with steps at one end and about 1.2 metres deep.
There are no shops within walking distance so we took it in turns to drive to Camporgiano or Piazza Al Serchio to stock up on groceries and we mainly had barbeques when we were at the property in the evenings. The large fridge made it possible to shop for several days worth of food.
As we did not have any problems we did not test the customer service by the owner, but from email correspondence before and after our visit, I am sure any problems would have been dealt with promptly.
Both Camporgiano and Piazza Al Serchio have railway stations from where you can visit many other places much more easily than driving and parking. We took the train from Piazza Al Serchio to Castelnuovo for the market on Thursday, which we all enjoyed, and there is plenty of free parking at the station.
All in all we had a great time and would definitely recommend this property.
