We had a lovely week! The apartment is spacious and very well equipped (including fans). Top standard and we loved the grand furniture and abundant pieces of art on the walls. There is a private balcony and we enjoyed relaxing there and in the nice gardens. Even more, we felt really welcome by our lovely hosts, Vivetta and Marco. Vivetta even provided a meal for us upon arrival and later we enjoyed her home made tuscan cake🥰. Castel del Bosco is close to many great destinations, e.g. you can easily drive to Lucca, Montopoli, Firenze or Pisa. Thank you for a lovely stay, Vivetta and Marco!

Wir haben hier einen wundervollen Familienurlaub in der Toskana verbracht. Die Lage des Wohnung ist sehr gut, da viele Orte und Sehenswürdigkeiten (Florenz, Pisa, Lucca, Siena,....) einfach zu erreichen sind. Auch die Nähe zum Meer war hervorragend. Die Wohnung ist sehr großzügig, bestens ausgestattet und bietet ein tolles Flair. Die Gastgeber Vivetta und Marco sind wundervoll! Schon die Begrüßung war sehr beeindruckend für uns. Wir sind sehr dankbar, eine solche Gastfreundschaft erlebt zu haben und werden in jedem Fall wieder buchen!

Super freundliche und herzliche Gastgeber, perfekte Lage um die Toskana mit dem Auto zu bereisen. Das Meer (Sandstrand) ist nur ca. 20 Minuten entfernt. Gastgeber haben bei Fragen immer sehr schnell reagiert und geholfen (Tipps gegeben).. die Wohnung war sehr sauber und mit allem ausgestattet. Immer wieder gerne und nur empfehlenswert!

Grazie mille Vivetta e Marco ! We had wonderful holidays thanks to you. The house is really big and beautiful (typicall tuscan) and is ideally placed to visit the best spots of Tuscany like Pisa, Firenze, Sienna. But the best is not the house, it's Vivetta e Marco. They are really warm hosts. During the week we had the chance to discuss with them and they gave us a lot of typicall tuscan dishes.

First of all, when you go there, you need a car for this destination. I can only say that my family and I are still amazed from our vacation we had at the location. First we reached the location and were impressed by this beautiful tuscany villa. The owners Vivetta and Marco went far beyond the standard service. First they showed us after an extremely warm and friendly welcome the beautiful and extreme clean 200 squaremeters and the beautiful interior of the accomodation, combined with local specialties like wine, cheese and olives. Everything was perfectly prepared, e.g. lists of local tourist attractions, good restaurants, supermarkets, train station etc. Furthermore I want to highlight that Vivetta and Marco went an extramile for me. As I liked to listen music from my cell phone from the awesome balcony while I enjoyed my cappuccino in the morning and my beer in the evening, I asked for an extension cable for my non-italian connectors, thus I could listen my music on the balcony. On top of that Vivetta provided once cake and once her extreme delicious pasta, just as an voluntary gift for us. Within a couple of hours Vivetta organized that for me, wow what a service. If you have family or ifbyou are travelling with 4-5 persons to explore tuscany with your car, I can absolutely recommend this place.

Le logement est très spacieux et très bien équipé. Nous étions 4, moi avec mes trois enfants, et nous étions très largement à l'aise. On dit que l'espace est un luxe, et c'est le cas ici. Par ailleurs, la décoration du logement est magnifique, une vraie maison toscane, avec des tableaux d'époque, avec des céramiques partout, un mobilier d'excellente qualité, etc. Une vraie beauté. Et du point de vue fonctionnel, rien à redire. Tout y est et s'il vous manque quelque chose, vous demandez à Vivetta et Marco, et ils vous le fournissent. D'ailleurs les hôtes ont été parfaits, toujours aux petits soins avec nous. Ils nous ont reçu avec un apéritif, nous ont préparé un gâteau, cherchaient à nous donner toutes les informations qu'on voulait, etc, etc. Ils sont adorables. Pour résumer, un excellent lieu de séjour, que je vous recommande vraiment.

The house is located in a small village which is very close to the Fi-Pi-Li, a highway connecting the cities of Florence, Pisa and Livorno. This makes is very easy to see all the most important cities within a 60 minutes drive from your apartment (Pisa 30 min, Siena 60min). There are several supermarkets, we've chosen "coop" in Santa Maria a monte, which is a five minutes car drive and offers everything you need. There is a little bakery and shop in the town as well. The apartment is in a quiet road and the owners, Vivetta and Marco, have done everything to make you feel at home far away. It is very clean and spacious, offers a lot of additional things such as a washing machine, a dishwasher, few fans to avoid heat in your rooms, enough towels, an ironing board in a separate room in your apartment, 2 bathrooms (one with a tub, the other one with a shower), a room to store your suitcases, enough tableware and glasses, cups, bowls, etc. We enjoyed cooking there and there was also a baking oven. The garden is well-kept and clean. Our children loved to go out in the morning and see what the turtles do. The rooms and the whole apartment are filled with a lot of beautiful things such as paintings or nice furniture that make you feel home. There is no pool but I have to admit, we didn't miss it even though we were traveling with two kids. I think it is a perfect apartment when you travel a lot around Tuscany but you want to feel home and relaxed when you come "home" to Castel del Bosco. There are several pools you can go to, we recommend "le barbate" in Montopoli, which is a three minutes drive (same direction as the supermarket). You pay 22 Euros (in August) for a family for the whole day. The way to the sea isn't very far (30 minutes) so we enjoyed the sea a few times as well (Marina di Pisa, Tirrenia, ...). We would definitely recommend this apartment to our friends and family (we already did) and would also like to come again one day. Vivetta and Marco are very friendly and helpful. Vivetta sent us a list of sights with information about the driving distance and several other information. That was really helpful to plan the visit. There are a lot of travel guide book in the apartment and Vivetta has collected a lot of information you can use. We loved the Tuscan cake she baked for us and absolutely enjoyed the meal she cooked for us after coming home from a long day at the sea. Thanks again, Vivetta and Marco!

Outstanding villa. If you're travelling through Italy by car and looking for a place under the Tuscan sky. This is the place to stay. Very convenient for travelling to Florence, Pisa, Lucca, San Gimigniano, etc, not to mention the stunning Tuscan countryside. For a change of pace we took the train to Florence but drove everywhere else. The in-car GPS never let us down. A heartfelt thank you to both Vivetta and Marco for their warm welcome and to Vivetta for her many surprises of delicious Tuscan fare. A most memorable and unforgettable holiday. Highly recommended place to stay in beautiful Tuscany. Mille grazie Vivetta e Marco.

Wow. Fabulous Villa. From the second we arrived, Vivetta and Marco the owners were wonderful. A beautiful welcome, the villa was exceptional. Large rooms and spotlessly clean. Lots of information for anyone looking to tour around the beautiful Tuscany countryside and very convenient for travelling to Florence, Pisa and Lucca, not to mention numerous stunning Tuscan villages. Both our daughters joined us, aged 15 and 21 , the villa was spacious enough to give all 4 of us space and comfort. A massive thank you to both Vivetta and Marco who made our holiday special, cooking us delicious Italian pasta, cake and bread. We would definitely love to visit again in the future. Highly recommended.

The Villa Dei Pini is nestled on a quite street surrounded by beautiful gardens. Our mornings were spent having coffee, listening to the birds, and enjoying the lush gardens from our balcony. Our days and early evenings were spent exploring the region. And having this beautiful home to come back to after a long day of exploring was bliss. Vivetta and Marco were warm, welcoming, and filled with great tips about the region! And having laundry facilities available, was a huge help! I can't wait until my next visit!
