Very nice

This property was

Wir haben an Pfingsten für 1 Woche mit unseren Freunden (4 Familien; 8 Erwachsene und 9 Kinder) einen sehr schönen Urlaub in dem Haus (bzw. genaugenommen sind es 2 Doppelhaushälften) verbracht. Das Grundstück ist recht groß und so kann man sich problemlos auch mal mit einem Buch zurückziehen. Der Pool bietet ausreichend Platz für Groß und Klein. Der Pizza-/Brotofen war für uns ein Highlight und es hat sehr viel Spaß gemacht ihn zu nutzen. (Kleiner Tipp: Feuerholz kann man im Gartencenter neben dem Carrefour Express in Camporgiano kaufen) Vor Ort wurden wir sehr freundlich vom Vermieter empfangen und der Kontakt war unkompliziert und sehr gastfreundlich. Vom Haus Richtung Westen verläuft ein kleiner Rundweg, den es für einen kleinen Spaziergang lohnt zu gehen. Hier hat man nochmal eine tolle Aussicht auf die wunderschöne Landschaft. Wir hatten das Glück, hier die Glühwürmchen nach Sonnenuntergang beobachten zu können. Es waren unfassbar viele Glühwürmchen (Juni/Juli ist Paarungszeit), das war ein spektakuläres Schauspiel. Für etwas Sightseeing eignen sich mit etwas Fahrzeit auf jeden Fall Lucca und Pisa. Alles in allem war es ein gelungener Urlaub in einer beeindruckenden Landschaft und einem gemütlichen Haus.

Bella casa con begli spazi ed un magnifico esterno. Il giardino e la piscina sono veramente fantastici. Location che permette di visitare bene una zona molto bella. Unico neo la fornitura delle cucine, da rinforzare un po’. Vacanze con amici riuscita. La consigliamo vivamente.

Toller Urlaub mit Familie und Freunden

Our large family group spent a week at Collaprico in July. It was an amazing property with every amenity provided. Plenty of space and beds for 16 of us and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the week. Really enjoyed the large pool and the gorgeous gardens. Would highly recommend this property.

We had a wonderful family holiday here, hiring both villas for a week in August for three family groups with babies, young children and grandparents. The setting was idyllic and felt quite remote, with a lovely large pool and terrace area facing the hills, and a large outdoor pizza oven that we used to cook homemade pizza for about 23 of us (including guests) one evening! There was plenty of shade along one side of the properties facing the pool (thanks goodness - it was hot!) , where we ate together for most of our meals, although there was a separate shaded terrace on an upper level for the villa we stayed in if we needed our own space. Some shade was also given on the main lawn by the large tree, great for hanging out under with the little ones. The swings in the adjacent field (a 30-second walk from the pizza oven) were an added bonus for the kids. There was plenty of space for us all in the villas and we had pretty much everything we needed. The owner, Gabriele, was nearby and ready to help if we needed anything. Via Tuscan Retreats, they also managed to find us three highchairs and three cots! Washing lines were available 'round the back' for drying the laundry, as well as airers which we used on the terrace. There was plenty of onsite parking for our three cars and getting around was straightforward, but we know the area as we have family living nearby. It was also nice to walk up through the fields to the little group of houses at via del Poggetto, and despite the heat, we also did the longer walk down to Camporgiano (and back up!). We would definitely recommend these villas for a large group of family and/or friends.

We were 4 family groups ranging from 1 year old to 70 years old. The property was ideal in that sense as we had the younger ones with children in 1 half and the elders in another. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and the children loved the pool and the outside space. Easy to sightsee either driving or by train. Slightly remote (we expected that) with perhaps a 2km walk to the village.Easy going in - not so easy coming back. Nice Pizza restaurant in the village and a slightly more upmarket restaurant 5 mins drive away. I have to say the villa itself which was comfortable , clean and tidy is slightly tired particularly outside. Most of the wooden furniture needs repair. a 5 year old girl managed to collapse a chair whilst sitting with a book. The pool surround has many loose paving stones which was a slight worry when the children were playing. The villas are not particularly well equipped and many kitchen items were shuttled between the 2. A few large glasses would have been nice. Not major problems but annoying when trying to cook a large meal. The main picture showing the pool and fields beyond is several years out of date. There are 2 houses built fairly close and there is a 3 metre hedge (see picture). The owner and his mother were very helpful and overall I would recommend a stay here, but it could be improved fairly easily.
