Beautiful, well designed property in a quiet Tuscan town. Good location with the Co-op directly opposite. Two bedrooms + 2 bathrooms were a plus. It should be noted that the Co-op car park is limited to 2 hours parking. You are then told that it’s possible to park on the streets and that it’s necessary to move your car for street cleaning, one morning a week.

We had booked a mid stay clean (our family stayed here for 12 nights) and were informed that the cleaner had found a scratch on the bedroom door frame, approximately 2 inches in length, just at floor level. Frankly speaking, you would have to be on your hands & knees, in order to even see this scratch. We have no idea whether it was there when we arrived as we didn’t examine every inch of the property. We were sent a bill the NEXT morning for €366 to have this repaired. Even if we had caused the scratch, this amount was excessive. Needless to say, the owner didn’t return our €200 cash security deposit. We raised this with Booking.com who agreed that this was an unreasonable amount. Nothing could be done by Booking.com as the security deposit was paid by bank transfer to the host. Lessons learned : never pay security deposit directly to host + if you want to stay at Casa Masoni, please check every inch of the property upon arrival & behave during your stay as if you’re in a lovely museum.
