Great summer break in Tuscany - July 2020
We were a group of 7 and rented all 4 rooms in the building. We loved the private, remote location and the outdoor areas - such as the covered seating area next to the grill and games on the lawn! The pool is huge and especially deep! Claudia takes great care of it (we could not find the special sun tan cream that she recommended - for some reason our normal sun tan lotions caused white swimming costumes to go yellow in places). Thankfully I read a review about the mosquitoes so we came well prepared with mozzie vapour devices for the rooms and insect repellent to spray on - even in the mornings! I missed noticing that there is no dishwasher available, but this at least gave the kids a learning opportunity! We can highly recommend the “Le Vecchie Cantine” restaurant in Chianni and ,if you want to go to the sea, the Spiagge Bianche beach near Vada is a great white beach to visit with lots of parking. Many thanks for a wonderful holiday...!

A perfect Tuscan retreat
I hired the whole villa for my family of 4 as we wanted privacy and that's exactly what we got. The villa is incredibly gorgeous, with everything you could possibly need, the views are spectacular and Claudia and Enrico are superb hosts. Claudia cooked an evening meal and breakfast for us when we arrived, we have not stopped talking about how delicious it was! I misunderstood the dynamics of the villa and didn't realise that my children (9 and 12yrs) would have their own apartment, with kitchen and their own front door key! My children were thrilled with this but I was apprehensive with them locking themselves in their rooms at night and me not being able to get in. Claudia quickly resolved this by getting me an extra set of keys cut to put my mind at ease! To be honest though, it was just me overreacting as the villa is extremely secluded and gated! The pool is simply fantastic, deep enough to dive in with plenty of loungers. We didn't leave the villa for days on end, it was a perfect way to relax. One thing that you must realise when booking this property is that it's deep in the countryside so you must expect lots of wildlife, which mostly for us was a delight with birds, lizards, deer, hedgehogs and donkeys but obviously lots of mosquitos. We were bitten quite a lot and Claudia gave us a mosquito net which did help. I would highly recommend you are prepared for this though. In the UK, when my children see a fly or bee in the garden, they go running inside, in Tuscany however there is no getting away from it and after a day or so I found them completely ignoring anything that flew their way! Definitely did them the world of good. I cannot recommend this villa enough, definitely our best holiday ever!!

Quiet and enchanting, garden of eden, with a pool ! Tuscan perfection.
We stayed for one week, sharing the facility with another family of friends. We had the domain to ourselves. The house and the garden are beautiful, perfectly tended. It's extremely peaceful (the house is way down a little path that goes through a tuscan wood. No neighbours at all) The view on the tuscan hills from the wintergarden is gorgeous, From the bedrooms and the main living space, the view in on the garden only, but it's still lovely. Claudia and Enrico are charming. They live on the property so you can ask them questions if you need but you will still feel like you're on your own. It's very private (if you rent the whole place, which we did. I don't think we would have liked to share with strangers though). They have cats and dogs but you barely see them. The pool was the perfect size for kids to swim and adults to refresh, always clean, with lovely flower surroundings. The tiny and charming town of Chianni is the place to go to get fresh bread, gelatis, delicious Italian meats and cheeses, oil, fruits etc. I highly recommend this wonderful home for your next family vacation. (wifi only works in wintergarden, which is very nice if you actually want to vacation and not watch your phone!)

Katastrophe
Der Zustand des Objektes hat mit dem Inserat und den dort zu sehenden Bildern nichts gemeinsam. Als wir dort ankamen und uns die Räumlichkeiten und die Außenanlage gezeigt wurden, konnten wir es nicht fassen. Nach einer ergebnislosen Diskussion mit den Eignern reisten wir noch am selben Tag wieder ab. Anbei nur ein paar Punkte: - Bilder zum Objekt sind um viele Jahre älter als der aktuelle Zustand - Poolbereich ist ungepflegt und verschmutzt - Pool hat ringsum einen grünen Rand oberhalb der Wasserfläche, vermutlich durch Algenwachstum im Winter - Außendusche wird über alte poröse, vergilbte Gartenschläuche betrieben - Alle Matratzen der Liegen sind verschmutzt, mit Stockflecken versehen, die Gummibänder zur Befestigung an den Liegen, gerissen oder ausgeleiert - Die Bezüge der Sonnenschirme sind vergilbt, porös und zum Teil verrissen - Alte defekte Rasenmäher, verschmutze Eimer und Behälter stehen um den Poolbereich - Verfilzte und dreckige, mit Katzenhaaren übersähte Decken hängen im Poolbereich über einem Geländer - In die Erde geschlagenes Baustahl- und Armier-Eisen dient als Absperrung gegen Wildschweine (O-Ton Vermieter) - Die laut Beschreibung, gut ausgestattete Outdoor-Küche besteht aus einem verdreckten, mit Rissen übersähten Waschbecken, einer verdreckten und versifften Spülmaschine, in welcher noch das Geschirr vom Vormieter stand. Spülmittel und Accessoires werden hinter einem Bretterverschlag gelagert, welcher nicht mehr richtig befestigt ist. usw.

A lovely place
Claudia was a wonderful host and she was helpful and her English is very good. When ever we had a question she was available but otherwise we didn’t she her. the place has 3 separate apartments each with cooking facilities, and a small outdoor door kitchen, where we prepared all our meals. A bigger indoor kitchen area would have been nice. The road into the house is approx 800 m of dirt road. If you are looking for a remote place with beautiful surroundings this is highly recommended

Prachtige rustige omgeving, maar lees goed!
Het zijn 3 appartementen die je huurt in een prachtige, rustige omgeving. De eigenaresse houdt dit netjes bij. Mooie tuin, prima zwembad. Je huurt niet het hele huis (blijkbaar staat dit op de site?) dus de eigenaresse is veelvuldig aanwezig in haar gedeelte van het huis. Wat je ziet op de startfoto, dat is het gedeelte wat je huurt. De achterkant wordt bewoond door de eigenaresse. Wij dachten namelijk dat het een privé huis was waar wij alleen zouden zitten en dachten dit ook geverifieerd te hebben. Dat wij nog een naheffing kregen omdat we met 5 waren i.p.v. 4 mensen vonden wij niet gepast mede omdat wij voor meer nachten hadden betaald voor 4. (9 nachten voor 4 betaald terwijl dit 7 nachten voor 4 was). Daarover in gesprek was niet mogelijk en het voelde niet goed en zelfs een beetje intimiderend, dat was jammer want dat was een smet op de gastvrijheid. Het is namelijk wel een mooie locatie als je van rust en ruimte houdt. Je zit wel op een afgelegen plek dus als je iets wilt ondernemen dan zal je kilometers in de auto moeten afleggen.

Ferien Villa gesucht - Paradies gefunden
Ein Traum! Wir waren eine 7er Gruppe (alle erwachsen) plus Hund und eine Woche zu Gast. Das Anwesen ist wunderschön, riesig und Natur pur! Die Zimmer sind rustikal und sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet, alles sehr sauber. Küche/n ist/sind bestens ausgestattet, uns hat es an nichts gefehlt. Der Garten war sehr gepflegt und bietet ein wunderbares Panorama über die toskanischen Hügelketten, Blumen, Blüten, Kräuter, Olivenbäume - ein Fest für alle Sinne. Ein besonderes Highlight ist die Gartenküche im Freien für unvergessliche Pasta- und Grill-Abende. Der Pool hat uns auch bei 35 Grad genug Abkühlung geboten. Das Haus liegt bei Chianni (ein süßes kleines Dorf) und man kann von dort aus auch Tagesausflüge nach Florenz, Pisa oder zum Meer unternehmen, wobei wir darauf aber aufgrund der immensen Hitze weitestgehend verzichtet haben. Claudia und ihre Tiere - ein großer, aber sehr süßer Hund, Katzen, Esel und Hühner - machen den Aufenthalt im Poggio ai Lupi zu einem einzigartigen, unübertrefflichen Erlebnis, was wir jederzeit wiederholen würden! Vielen Dank für diese tolle unvergessliche Zeit!

Schöne Location mit freundlicher Betreuung
Wir verbrachten 2 Wochen im September bei Claudia in Poggio ai Lupi. Claudia ist eine liebeswerte, ältere Dame, die das Objekt in bewundernswerter Weise betreut. Der Pool ist wunderbar und die Aussicht herrlich. Das Haus ist mit wunderschönen Bildern und alten toskanischen Möbeln ausgestattet, weshalb man sich direkt wohl fühlt, wenn man ein Faible dafür hat. Umgeben von Olivenhainen und wilder Natur (Wildschwein & Co sind abends regelmäßige Besucher in unmittelbarer Umgebung) kann man die Seele baumeln lassen. Lucca ca. 1,5 Stunden, Volterra 3/4 Stunde.
