A lovely well equipped property, in a fabulous setting, with a traditional feel, that just makes you feel at home straight away. The pool and its surroundings are beautiful, we spent a lot of time there just relaxing, which after all is what a holiday is all about. Getting to ‘know’ what is a surprisingly big property takes a little time partly because our friendly Italian host and his son appear to speak no english so unless your Italian is exceptional any questions about the house, how it works or where things are will have to be done through google translate. Every property has some quirks and this one was no exception so these comments are really of a minor nature and for the owners to consider whether they wish to address them. There is only air conditioning in the bedrooms, so working out how to keep the house cool takes some time. Some electrical sockets take normal 2 pin European plugs or adaptors but a number are 3 pin which is unhelpful. The TV satellite channels had no signal. The wifi code is incorrect in the ‘House’ book, it’s actually the number code on the back of the router. The washing machine (which is down some outside stairs in the boiler room) had an electrical fault which meant if you touched the drum it gave you an electric shock! We definitely needed google translate to explain that one. Finally take some good mosquito spray they can be a problem if you have sensitive skin. Over all a lovely property, very well located, You will have a great holiday.

We stayed at Broccolo in August 2022. There were six in our party (aged between 24 and 59!). The villa was originally booked for August 2020 but had to be moved due to COVID. EasyReserve were helpful in arranging this and the agents in Italy itself were very helpful nearer the time. The villa itself is delightful and the pictures provided give a true representation. It is a rustic villa and to be fair we spent most of our time outside as the grounds and pool are delightful and very well maintained. The bedrooms are all air conditioned apart from the one in the basement - the basement room is very large and has a private seating area but is quite dark. The villa was cleaned twice whilst we were there - we had not expected this - and the cleaner was very friendly. Neither the owner nor the cleaner spoke much English. The owner met us when we arrived and we had to provide a !000 euro security deposit in cash. To be honest this was a bit of a pain as it had to be cash which meant we had 1000 euros in cash on our return journey. However we were aware of this when we booked the property and the money was retuned to us with no issues. We did not have a car whilst we were there. This was our choice. We did not want to have to drive a big people mover. Instead we used the services of a 'tour' driver. His name was given to us by the letting agent in Italy and he was excellent (Francesco - Just in Case). We went to Pisa and Lucca with him on day trips, he took us to a wine tasting farm for an evening (Fattoria Al Dotto - excellent value and fun) and we also had two nights out for meals in Lucca. Taxis are not cheap - mind you neither is car hire - however we still spent less on taxis than we would have with a car. There was a supermarket 1km from the villa (door to door) and we went down every day to this. There is also a cakeshop and a pizzeria in the village. We used both. The main road is quite busy but after 500m from the house there is a pavement and we did not find the walk onerous. ON reflection a car would give you greater flexibility to explore the countryside during the day but we were quite happy pottering around the villa and walking to neighbouring villages.We could not have used the car on an evening anyway as we all wanted to drink.

The house was very clean. There are limited supplies in the kitchen so you will need to make sure you buy some. The pool is unheated so can be refreshing in cooler months.

Abbiamo soggiornato in sei adulti nella struttura, che abbiamo trovato veramente comoda per ogni esigenza. Ottima la piscina e lo spazio esterno, ma anche gli spazi interni sono ampi e confortevoli. [English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] We stayed in six adults in the property, which we found really convenient for every need. Excellent swimming pool and outdoor space, but also the interior spaces are large and comfortable.

Belle et grande propriété. Belle maison. Un peu cher pour l'offre. (CHF 4'000.- pour une semaine) [English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] Nice large property. Beautiful house. A bit pricey for the offer. (CHF 4'000.- for one week)

Fantastic house set among the Tuscan hills with great views. The house is large enough to accommodate a family of 7 comfortably, and is well equipped to ensure your stay is a great experience. There is a barbecue area & pizza oven in the back garden with a good seating area as well as a under cover patio area at the front of the house- both very versatile. The pool is a good size and is surrounded by a really large garden in fact it was such a good pool we spent more of our time just enjoying lazing around than we did sight seeing. I would thoroughly recommend this house, it is near to a good supermarket and it is very easy to visit places such as Florence, Pisa and Lucca which was about a 20 minute drive.

Das Haus und Garten sowie Pool sind super und entsprechen der Beschreibung. Der Verwalter/Hausmeister spricht nur italienisch und nicht ein Wort englisch oder deutsch! Dadurch ist keine Einweisung in die Bedienung Poolreinigung Klimaanlage oder Müllentsorgung möglich. Nicht einmal die Abreisezeit könnten wir richtig klären da wir ja noch die 1000 Euro Kaution zurück haben wollten. Er hat sich auch nicht einmal um den Pool gekümmert! Das Haus wurde 2x die Woche gereinigt und einmal die Wäsche gewechselt. Allerdings nicht die Pool Handtücher. Alles in allem war es sehr schön, aber einen so leidenschaftslosen Verwalter haben wir noch nicht erlebt.

This is a lovely villa, where a group of 5 adults and 1 child spent a week in the sunshine. The villa and pool were better than we expected and the owner was helpful and attentive. The villa was cool and accommodating and the pool was large and clean. We would have liked to stay all summer! Through the booking agents we arranged for a chef to cook a meal for us one evening. This was the highlight of the week. In the large garden there was a pizza oven which we used for perfecting our pizza making techniques. We also visited the goats and chickens which were in a separate part of the garden. Would recommend this villa for an authentic Tuscan experience. The villa was cleaned for us twice during our stay and on our departure. There were Hoopa birds flying around. Lucca is a very interesting place to visit with restaurants, icecream shops and bike hire all available.
