Our 8 weeks in Tuscany.
We have spend almost 8 weeks in thuis house and it was wonderfull. Beautifull house, great hostess, wonderfull nature and a picturesque village with a great restaurant. It is so quiet, the online sound you hear are the birds. What more can you ask for? Laura and Daniella are perfect hostesses, they made us feel very much at home. The house is perfect to visit Tuscany (car needed!), supermarket at 15 min drive. The garden is wonderfull for relaxing with the swimming pool and jacuzzi. I would recommend this house to everyone.

Gorgeous appartment in the hills of Tuscany
We stayed in this beautiful place for one week and had a great time. We really enjoyed the queit and silence, the fireplace, the jacuzzi and the BBQ spot outside with a view into the valley. Everything in the house is full of details and made with love. Laura is a woderful host, always taking care of her guests and making sure that they don't lack nothing. Make sure you wear proper shoes as Ragiollo is built on a hill / rock and the walking ways are pretty steep with almost no stairways. So you will have a nice workout when moving through the village ;) And there are no supermarkets in the village, so you'll have to take a car around 10 mins to Bibienna. There are several supermarkets. We can definitelly recommend this place and would always return!! It's the perfect place to relax and find some calm.
