All fur coat - still working on the knickers!
Pretty property comprises 6 bed house and 1 bed annexe. Deposit is cash or bank transfer only. House with great layout and well appointed kitchen. Host kindly bought small bed for our youngest prior to our stay. Annexe newly decorated but no shutters or air con. 38 degrees so two opted to share a bed in the main house. Unfortunately air con in the kitchen and downstairs bedroom in house also not working. Agent suggested we'd used it too much, but kitchen unit had not been on. Came out to look at it, but it wasn't fixed during our 10 night stay. Pool amazing, but sun lounger cushion covers need updating. They came to take away a pool umbrella for fixing but didn't return, leaving two behind also faulty. Much of the house has been renovated to a very high standard, but some isolated areas of poor workmanship needed attention. Got the feeling we might have been some of the first to stay and that these were teething issues. It would have helped to have someone nearby who spoke English and could come out to help and also maintain the pool and hot tub regularly, clear pumps, test the water etc. Took pool vacuum out ourselves as rained and extension lead wasn't waterproof. Surrounding location is rural and picturesque. Only 10 mins from a small supermarket. Radicondoli is beautiful town with restaurants. Sienna, San Gimigiano and Volterra are an hour away and all worth a visit. Went to an aqua village Fallonica and pleasantly surprised at lack of crowds and reasonable prices.
