Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The owners were available to answer queries and fixed our minor problem very swiftly (within the hour).

Beautiful area and all our guests had a great time.

Many thanks

Absolutely exquisite- perfect base for our 6 person family holiday ( age range 12-72) Modern villa in a sympathetic rural setting has everything. It marries the real self-catering base, having with every modern amenity, with easy accessibility to nearby towns and villages and the motorway for visits to Tuscany's major cities.
The host family's proximity was a huge bonus, their
determination to give us the bet possible holiday complimented with an equal regard for our privacy - the tour and tasting they arranged for us at a nearby winery was a particular highlight of our stay.
We had a wonderful holiday and really cannot command the villa highly enough - 5 stars+++

Huset var rigtig fint og der er er rigtig dejlig pool. Wi-Fi fungerede i perioder ikke så godt i perioder. Ejeren gav forkerte oplysninger om hvilket netværk man skulle logge på og derfor kunne vi ikke komme på internettet før 3. Dag, hvor ejeren havde ringet efter en "specialist" der hurtigt konstaterede at det virkede når man valgte det korrekte netværk. Det skulle vi betale 10 Euro for ?!? I forbindelse med at vi ville benytte vaskemaskinen henvendte vi os til ejeren, da vi ikke vidste hvordan man startede maskinen. Hun startede maskinen og det så fint ud. Efterfølgende kunne vi konstatere at den ikke virkede, i det den blev ved med at tage vand ind, og ikke fortsætte vaskeprogrammet. Vi måtte derfor tage det våde tøj ud og vaske dette i hånden for derefter at centrifugere det i maskinen. Da vi fortalte ejeren at maskinen ikke virkede korrekt, men at vi kun kunne bruge centrifugeringen, begyndte hun at antyde at vi nok havde ødelagt den!?! slutningen af vores ophold blev lidt ærgerlig, da ejeren, da vi skulle tage afsked og have vores depositum tilbage, havde skrevet en lang besked i google translate, hvor hun skrev at vi havde ødelagt maskinen (der i øvrigt er mindst 30 år gammel) og at vi ikke kunne få pengene retur, fordi hun skulle have en tekniker til at efterse maskinen. Derudover påstod hun at vores hund (som gerne måtte være i huset) havde lavet et hak på ydersiden af døren og at vores forsikring skulle dække dette. Det ville vi selvsagt ikke, da det var meget tydeligt at mærket ikke stammede fra en hunds klør. Derudover havde vores hund på intet tidspunkt været lukket ude af huset så derfor ville den aldrig kradse på døren. Da jeg sagde til ejeren at det ikke var hunden der havde lavet mærket på døren, og at vi i øvrigt ikke var skyld i at vaskemaskinen ikke virkede ordentligt var hun meget arrogant og endte med at gå... Vi var selvfølgelig både overraskede og frustrerede over hendes opførsel og kaldte på hende. Pludselig, efter ca 6-7 min. Kom hun tilbage og vi fik vores depositum og en besked på hendes iPad hvor der stod;"god hjemrejse og velkommen tilbage". Jeg tror nu ikke vi kommer tilbage til Croqefigue, men det er rigtig ærgerligt, da det ellers er et dejligt hus. Det er ikke uproblematisk at ejeren kun taler Fransk og vi ikke gør... Derudover var der, da vi ankom, temmelig beskidt i både køkken og på badeværelset. Vi måtte rydde køkkenbordet for mange ting der stod og fyldte op for at kunne tørre bordet ordentligt af. Kluden var sort! Lidt ærgerligt nå lejerne betaler for slutrengøring. Derudover ville vi støvsuge og fandt en støvsuger der ikke kunne suge særligt godt og da vi støvsugede under sengen, havde der tydeligvis ikke været støvsuget ordentligt meget længe, der var så meget støv og skidt! Det er problematisk at Easyreserve fralægger sig ansvaret hvis der opstår uenighed med ejeren, det er ikke rart at stå og skulle diskutere med ejeren om ting der ikke fungerer, hvorefter man så bliver beskyldt for at have ødelagt tingene. På trods af dette ligger huset dejligt og er rigtig fint til to personer. Der er alt hvad man har brug for, en del af tingene fungerer bare ikke, desværre.

Eigentlich mit sehr schönes Aussicht und Pool schöne Anlage, aber leider in unmittelbarer Nähe zu einer frequentierten Straße- kaum Ruhe, auch nachts.
Einbruch.

The property is clean but basic. Only 1 wine glass! The pool is OK but rusty round the edges and only 2 working umbrellas. The beds are really uncomfortable.

Its rustic accommodation in a beautiful setting. Meals are good but the self catering was a bit basic eg no toaster after , no wine glasses ( we are in Tuscany, after all)

First off, I believe that honest reviews are the best. People spend a lot of money sight-unseen and it is critical to help set proper expectations.

Overall, we were most pleased with the accommodations. There were seven of us (5 adults and 2 teens) and we were more than comfortable. We felt more than welcomed by our wonderful hostess, Lucia.

The view could not have been more scenic and the pool (note, unheated for those traveling in the offseason) and patio area were quite nice.

Of course, it is difficult for any rental location to live up to the expectations set by the website photos and this one was no exception. The place was just a little bit more "lived in" than the photos would indicate, but that's just good marketing! Just set your expectations accordingly. We had some minor issues which I'm certain the owner would have tackled had we asked (a few ants in the kitchen and an A/C unit in one of the bedrooms wouldn't work). But, certainly we experienced nothing that should cause a person hesitation in booking this villa.

As advertised, the village of Poggibonsi is quaint and has a lot to offer. However, be aware that nothing is within walking distance. You need a car. That said, the location is perfectly nestled between Siena, Florence, and San Gimingnano---an easy drive to all places.

All told, I felt that I more than received a value for my money. To put 7 in a place like that for a week was a winner, in my mind and I would recommend it to anyone who asks!
