“A Gem in Tuscany”

Reviewed 22 Aug 2016

The information provided by Cesare at the time of booking was the best we've ever had! On arrival, we were greeted with a very helpful introduction to "our home for the week". It was great having a welcome gift of wine, some delicious home grown plums and their home produced olive oil. La Colonica is set in lovely gardens/grounds. There are so many places to sit and relax. We especially loved the covered outside dining area. When it comes to the house, the two double bedrooms both with en-suites were perfect for us. The beds were very comfortable with really good quality sheets. Though the kitchen was not large, it had everything we needed for the week including good, sharp knives! We enjoyed evenings in the lounge with a good selection of DVDs. Despite temperatures well in the 30s, we had no need to use the airco. The whole house has high ceilings and is pleasantly cool at night. The parking at La Colonica, outside the house, is very convenient. Although close to the local village, the "cottage" was very quiet. Our week at La Colonica was delightful from start to finish. We loved it and look forward to returning.
