It doesn't get any better than this.
Wow. If I could click 10 stars for a review I would. What a fantastic stay with super fantastic people. Our visit was at the end of March and it was beautiful. I can't imagine how beautiful this place would be later in the year. As for the hosts..... they could not have been more friendly and accommodating. They made us feel more like family then guests. I recommend 100% anytime of the year. Not to mention... there is not a more beautiful part of Tuscany.

We will definitely be back, and look forward to seeing Johns new Powerboat 🙄

Real Tuscany
Great location in rural Tuscany. Stayed for 10 nights. Getting out every day to visit Tuscany takes time, roads are not the best, but the views are breathtaking. Have patience going down the unpaved road, looks ugly first time, but for a convertible with aft wheels drive it made no problem. We found wirst roads in many places. Beautiful place to stay, quiet. And the hosts....great people, exceptional. They tell you anything you need to know. Verry rare to find such friendly hosts while having entire privacy. A place to return many times. Thanks John an Dianna for the excellent vacation we had

gemütlicher Sommerausklang
wir waren Mitte/Ende September zu Gast bei John & Dianne und haben es sehr genoßen! Das Cottage liegt sehr abgeschieden mitten in der Natur, der Ausblick ist atemberaubend! Auf dem Grundstück der Gastgeber gibt es viel Platz und genügend Privatsphäre, aber es ist dennoch immer schön den beiden zu begegnen. Wir freuen uns schon auf unseren nächsten Urlaub in Arezzo :-)

Gastfreundschaft
Wir kommen aus der Altmark und gehören zur "älteren" Generation. Nach einer langen Anfahrt holt uns John mit seinem SUV beim Straßenschild, das in die Richtung San Biagio weist, ab. Dianna empfängt uns und geleitet uns zum Ferienhaus. Ein schönes Anwesen. Nützlich und mit Kunstverständnis eingerichtet. Bewegend so. Erregend die Details. Wir fühlten uns sofort wohl. Ein Platz zum Ausspannen und Erholen von den Unwegsamkeiten des Lebens. Besonders für die, die Ruhe und die Natur mögen. An die Zeit bei Dianna und John werden wir uns gern erinnern. Renate

A real gem
This is a real gem and even better than the photos suggest. Absolute peace and quiet broken only by wonderful bird song. Find out what a dawn chorus really means! The garden is beautiful and feasting your eyes on it from the pool, with thickly forested hills behind, is a real treat. Fantastic places to visit locally amid real Tuscan countryside if you can tear yourselves away - though going out for the odd visit makes you appreciate it even more on your return. All this is rounded off by the very generous hosts who really put themselves out to ease our stay, being happy and willing to help or advise on pretty much everything. Excellent. We’ll be back next year.

Verrassend verblijf op een unieke locatie
Wij verbleven een week in het knusse, gezellig en zorgvuldig ibgerichte huisje op het terrein van John en Dianna. Zij zijn een zeer attente gastheer en- vrouw. Wij konden, door het steeds beter wordende weer, gelukkig genieten van de mooie tuin, met diverse zon- en schaduwplekken en het fijne zwembad. De afgelegen ligging van het huisje maakte het geheel tot een zeer bijzondere ervaring. en de vakantieweek zeer geslaagd.

Sehr schöne und ruhige Unterkunft mitten in den Bergen und im Wald gelegen. Sehr nette, zuvorkommende und hilfsbereite Vermieter, die gerne Tipps für Unternehmungen in der Region geben.

Séjour exceptionnel en Toscane authentique
Un endroit magique, paisible et reposant mais surtout des hôtes John et Dianne très accueillants, généreux qui ont fait de notre séjour un délice : la bergerie, toute équipée, rénovée avec goût, les journées farniente autour de la piscine, les visites à Florence, Cortone, Arezzo mais aussi la vallée d'Orcia, et les conseils de John pour visiter ces villages typiques hors des sentiers battus Anghiari, Citerna et Monterchi. Et au réveil les légumes du potoger de John et Dianne devant notre porte. Sans oublier leur invitation à dîner ensemble pour un atelier pizza au feu de bois ! Hautement recommandé !
