Description from manager
Description
Villa Il Forte was at the origin (century 13/14) a fortified position, elements of which have come to light, such as the colonnade surrounding the courtyard and the walls of the tower structure, elements that have made possible a particularly refined restoration and the creation of environments of charm. The villa can easily accommodate 16 people (12 pax main villa plus 4 pax adjacent dependence) in luxurious comfort and it is situated near to San Donato in Collina, only 14 km from Florence.
ACCOMMODATION: Villa Il Forte can easily accommodate 16 people (12 in the main villa plus 4 in the adjacent dependence) in luxurious comfort. The villa and the dependence are entirely equipped with ecological, sustainable energy sources, as solar cells for electricity and geothermic system for heating and refreshment of air.
The villa is divided in 3 floors: on the ground floor there is a professional kitchen with direct access to a covered pergola with BBQ, pizza oven and table and chairs. On the same floor there is a large dining room, a sitting room with flat screen, a Lobby (85 sqm) with piano (reception, sitting room, conference room or eating room), a bathroom with shower and a service bathroom. The ground floor hosts also a king size bedroom with ensuite bathroom with bathtub.
On the first floor there are a triple bedroom (one double + one single or three single beds) with ensuite bathroom with bathtub, a double bedroom (or two single beds, on request) with ensuite bathroom with shower, a double bedroom (or two single beds, on request) with ensuite bathroom with shower and bathtub, a single bedroom with bathroom next door with shower.
On the mezzanine floor you will find another sitting room with flat screen and DVD.
On the second floor there is a king size bedroom with big bathroom divided in two by a sliding door: first part with the lavabo and the second part with WC and shower.
Adjacent to the villa there is a dependence (80 mq) with sitting room with kitchen on the ground floor. On the first floor there are a double bedroom (or two single beds, on request) with bathroom next door with shower and a king size bedroom with ensuite bathroom with bathtub.

Response from the manager "The villa you rented is the Villa Il Forte which is the same on our advertisement but we are the agency InTuscany.Net and it is clear that you rented the villa with another agency. On our website it is clearly explained in the text of the villa how it works this geothermal refreshing system used at the villa but as we didn't followed your reservation nor your stay at the villa we can't give you better explanations about how the issue was created during the conversation with the other agency.
