Guest reviews
Fabulous
Wonderful 5 days stay in this picturesque Villa. Would recommend
Liked: Loved our stay here.. Our apartment II Melo was exactly as described and pictured. We were very comfortable here. The Swimming pool was magic, and well maintained and clean. The gardens just beautiful. The Host Eve very helpful and nice. A beautiful area of Tuscany. As we had 5 nights we dined at home 2 nights as the village has a supermarket and GREAT DELI. Just to advise that it is a dirt road of about 5 minutes to the property
Disliked: Unfortunately we had terrible time finding the property, as II Melo is the name of the apartment within the Villa. Bookings.com you need to liaise with the owner and change the details to reflect this. Our GPS took us to the gate (we loaded the co-ordinates) but there was no sign on the gate. We had to go to another Villa and ask them to call the property for us.
We had a good experience and we will definitely come back
Liked: Eva and her husband are very kind and generous. We were lucky to taste their excellent wine and oil. They welcomed us even though we changed the time and arrived late. They will give you all the information you need about the area, and you can speak openly with them.
Disliked: One thing that could be improved is to establish rules for families arriving with children, especially in the pool area. Sometimes guests can be disturbed by kids playing loudly and jump into the pool. Perhaps define some hours when quiet must be maintained for all guests. In the description of the accommodation, it says private pool for exclusive use. Keep in mind that the pool is shared with other guests of the farmhouse.
A beautiful place
Liked: A beautiful location if you want peace and quiet. A wonderful, clean swimming pool.
Disliked: I found the white road quite difficult to drive. Very poor wifi signal.
I recommend
Liked: Cypress trees, a beautiful Tuscan hill.. wonderful views. Fabrizio and Eva are wonderful hosts, always available, and Il Melo (apartment overlooking vineyards and olive groves) is a self-contained, cozy and well-equipped corner of Tuscany! The presence of a large and perfectly maintained pool completes the experience. The place is equally close to Florence and Siena (approx. 40-45 min.). The hosts are wine and olive oil producers and you can buy their original products.
