Belvedere Lucciana

Très bonne location,les propriétaires sont très sympathiques .Jardin et piscine au TOP.Très calme

Having arrived very late in the evening to a warm welcome by Grazia and Stefano we could not imagine the stunning views that we would wake up to the following morning, looking across the green valley at beautiful Casole de Elsa.
Both bedrooms are spacious and comfortable, the kitchen is fully equipped and the two outdoor patios both have dining table and chairs, in addition to sun loungers on one of the patios. Wi-Fi signal is good.
The villa is in an excellent location with an impressive garden and pool area, which despite it's relatively close proximity to the owners property it is totally private. The pool maintenance man inspected the pool most days but we very rarely noticed his presence.
Stefano speaks excellent English and is always contactable if needed.

Driving in Tuscany is very easy, allowing you to travel to many beautiful villages and towns, including San Gimignano, Monteriggioni, Siena, Certaldo and the charming villages/towns of the Chianti region, all within easy reach of Belvedere Lucciana. For our visit to Florence we took the train from the local station at Poggibonsi which offered free parking all day. As a special treat, we booked a private chef via To Tuscany for an evening and were not disappointed. The food and presentation was to an excellent standard, with the chef introducing each course and how it had been prepared. Tip - if you chose to book this do not eat much during the day !

A comfortable & well equipped villa in an lovely, quiet location. Great pool with a view. Owner lives next door but you would hardly know it.

Alles prima. Grazia und Stefano waren so freundlich, hilfsbereit und großzügig. Schönes Schwimmbad, tolles Haus.

Beautiful hilltop villa with stunning scenery and a lovely pool. Stefano and his mum were very helpful in fulfilling any request, personalising the villa for us and our toddler as well as leaving lovely wee surprise gifts. Villa lovely and homely for our family. I would recommend to anyone. Note: a car is required to access shops, restaurants etc..

Sehr freundliche Vermieter, traumhafte Lage, Haus und Grundstück außerordentlich gepflegt. Die letzten 300 m der Anreisebeschreibung sind verbesserungsfähig

Osteria Caffe Casolani in Casole d'Elsa Officina di Cucina Popolari in Colle Val d'Elsa Weingut Montenidoli in San Gimignano - der beste Vernaccia!

Total nette Vermieter, immer da, wenn man etwas brauchen sollte, ansonsten äußerst diskret.

Sehr zu empfehlen die Anreise mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln nach Florenz (Bus von Colle di Val d'Elsa, 5,60 Euro) bzw nach Pisa (Bahn von San Gimignano, 8,40 Euro). Überall viel Verkehr, man erspart sich allgegenwärtige Parkplatzsuchen.

Tolles Haus mit sehr gepflegtem Grundstück und wunderbarer Aussicht - noch schöner als auf auf den Fotos zu erkennen.

The location allowed easy access to many places we wanted to visit and the views from the garden were spectacular. The pool was a good size and cleaned every day. The owner was a delight and baked us a cake one day and the her son was really helpful. The hamper on arrival was a great idea and good value.
Absolutely nothing negative to say about the place.

We visited Florence, Siena, San Gimignano, Volterra and Lucca as well as the smaller near-by towns and they were all most enjoyable. A longer days out in Chianti country and the Val D'Orcia were also well worth it. The evening meal we had on the piazza at Monteriggioni was excellent.

The setting is fantastic. Friendly owners. Superb views from the terrace and the pool.. Comfortable. Good quality. Peaceful.. Extremely relaxing. A sincere welcome.
Having two varieties of plums, tomatoes, a home made apple cake, home produced honey and I'll live oil dropped off was amazing. The owners were attentive yet discreet. As was the man looking after the switch m ing pool.
Fantastic.

Castle d'Elsa. Quaint. Cc Ollie did Val d'Elsa. Great restaurant above the gate. Also we treated ourselves to a meal at Arnolfo. Amazing. Populonia on the coast. Bolgheri near to Populonia. Volterra. Follow the guide.in the folder at the house for wines and places to go to.and you will do well.

Die Lage des Hauses und die Aussicht in die Postkartenlandschaft waren phänomenal. Auch an den heißen Tagen wußten wir den sauberen und großen Pool zu schätzen. Die Eigentümerin auf dem Nachbargrundstück war sehr diskret und jederzeit sehr hilfsbereit., eine echte Nonna, vielen Dank auch an ihren Sohn, der immer auf Englisch ansprechbar war. Die beiden Terrassen mit den grossen Schirmen wurden von uns ausgiebig genutzt. Ein Grill vervollständigte unser Glück. Die günstige Lage ermöglichte uns, in kurzer Zeit sowohl Volterra, San Gimignano, Siena und das Chianti mit dem Auto zu besuchen. Gute Einkaufsmöglichkeiten gab es in Colle di Val d Elsa und in Poggibonsi, jeweils große COOP-Läden. Auch Penelope,den Boxer der Eigentümerin schlossen wir in unser Herz. Das große Grundstück vermittelte uns eine großzügige Idylle, die wir leider nach 3 wunderbaren Wochen wieder verlassen mußten. Nochmals vielen herzlichen Dank an Gracia und Stefano für ihre freundliche und herzliche Art! Wir würden das Haus jederzeit wieder buchen.

Położenie nieruchomości i dyskretna obecność właścicielki obiektu.

die hervorragende Lage und der sehr schöne Außenbereich

Everything! We were given a very warm welcome by the owner and her son Stefano who spoke excellent English. They had also put together a really helpful information folder about the villa which even included photographic instructions of how to get to the nearest supermarket! The villa was very well equipped. All the beds were comfortable and it had all mod cons - free wi-fi, dishwasher, TV washing machine, good quality cooker, air conditioning etc. It was very well stocked with crockery and glasses etc. Both bathrooms were pleasant and the showers were fine.
The location is stunning with wonderful views of Casole D'Elsa perched on its hilltop. Although it is was next door to the owner's house, it was totally private and the owner was very discreet, only calling to leave us things e.g. fresh linen when we were out - not that we would have minded because she was so lovely! So we felt private but not isolated. The swimming pool was beautiful - a good size, refreshing but not freezing and with good sun loungers and parasols and that fantastic view. The garden was attractive a well maintained. All in all, it was a cracker!
We liked everything.

We really liked the local town, Casole D'Elsa which has some very interesting bronze statues (quite wacky) and a great icecream shop (very reasonably priced). We also loved the old Colle Val D'Elsa. It has a great wine shop where you can sample the local wines before you buy and several other shops e.g. bakery and greengrocers where the locals shop. It is also famous for its glass products and there is a free car park just outside the city gate. San Gimignano is, of course, a must but leave it until a weekday, after 4 pm when the coach parties tend to depart. Siena was very accessible - about 40 mins by car - and has always been my favourite big town/city in Tuscany. We also did some great drives. There is a book in the villa with some ideas for these. These took us out in Chianti and the Sienese Crete, the latter being particularly stunning with very typical Tuscan views.

Die wunderschöne Lage mit Blick auf Casole de Elsa, das sehr ansprechende Ferienhaus und der sehr gepflegte Garten mit Olivenbäumen. Die ruhige Lage und der saubere Pool ist ideal zum ausspannen. Sehr angenehme und freundliche Vermieter.

Das Restaurant agriteca in Piazza in Radicondoli, einfaches kleines Restaurant mit sehr guter Küche.

This was our second stay at Belvedere Lucciana and should we return to Italy we would certainly book a week or two here again. We enjoyed all the amenities (swimming pool, nice terrace, grill, washing machine) and especially the addition of free WiFi. We absolutely love sitting on the terrace each evening enjoying the view and watching the stars. The pool is very nice and was always kept clean.
The owner was very friendly and thoughtful - she even brought us fresh tomatoes, grapes and figs.
The villa is located in the small but lovely village of Lucciana and provides a wonderful getaway, yet is convenient to visiting many local towns in Tuscany and Chianti. Some of our favorites are Monteriggiono, Volterra, Panzano, Brolio (Baron Ricasoli winery), and Florence. We rented a car during our stay, which to us is a must; however, when visitng Florence it was easier to drive 20 minutes to Pogobonsi and take the local train to and from Florence. We also like the convenience of grocery shopping about 15 minutes from the villa at the COOP in Colle Val d'Elsa. What was very surprising to us was the cost of groceries - much LESS than in the United States. NOTE: First time visitiros should be sure you have a GPS and enter the coordinates provided as the villa is not easily located otherwise.
Recommend the olive trees in front of the terrace be trimmed to allow for a better view of the valley and distant hilltop town. During our 2010 visit the views were wonderful - but since then the trees have become overgrown and inhibited our view.

During our stay in late August, Volterra was having their annual Medieval Festival. We visited the town on a Sunday and the activites were truly enjoyable; would highly recommend if staying during this time period.

Les points fort de la maison sont la vue panoramique, le calme avec la piscine privée et la situation géographique entre Florence, Sienne, San Giminiano .....
La gentillesse de la propriétaire, très discrète mais qui apporte courgettes, tomates et figues de son jardin !
Une bonne bouteille de Chianti à l'arrivée ......
Ce qui nous a déplu, la traversée de la zone industrielle pour accéder à la maison, le mobilier extérieur en plastique, les toiles cirées sur les tables ....et les oreillers rigides !

Le charmant village de Casole d'Elsa et Colle di val d'Elsa ( restaurant Popularo ,,,,,,)

Zeer vriendelijke en behulpzame eigenaars. Zowel het onthaal als de contacten tijdens het verblijf waren hartelijk en uiterst aangenaam. Het zwembad werd dagelijks onderhouden en de tuin was prachtig. Het huisje brengt je onmiddellijk in vakantiesfeer. Uiterst aan te raden vakantiebestemming!

Pisa, Volterra en colle d'elsa zeker aan te raden.

Einfach alles, die Lage ist ein Traum, der Garten, das Pool ( welches täglich gewartet und gesäubert wird ) wunderschön, die Besitzer extrem freundlich und hilfsbereit ! Es gibt nichts zu beanstanden !!!
Da gibt es nichts zu sagen ,-)

San Gimignano, Volterra, Siena
