Big house with a huge garden with all a big group needs to spend the vacations in a calm place. We had a great time.
A wonderful villa retreat in Poppi! This home met all of our requirements, namely, a secluded quiet villa with a nice (very shaded!!) outdoor space and great wifi. The house is huge and spacious and the gardens are very beautiful. Even with the heatwaves, the house stayed cool and comfortable. Many amenteties provided, including basic toiletries, kitchen basic spices/oils, many cooking instruments. Despite Poppi being a small town, it had all the amenities that we wanted within (sometimes long) walking distance- cafes, wonderful restaurants, sandwhich shops, kebab, multiple good grocery shops. A few things to consider: - Poppi is very hard to get to without a vehicle. - You will be in the countryside- this means many critters around the house. - The plugs in the house are not standard EU plugs.
Bellissima casa con giardino incantevole, ideale per un soggiorno di gruppo. Caldamente raccomandata!
Abbiamo soggiornato in 13 per 5 notti a cavallo di capodanno. L'host si é mostrata disponibile e flessibile durante la prenotazione e il check in. L'abitazione é una casa indipendente molto grande con un giardino bellissimo potenzialmente adatta per ospitare molte persone. Purtroppo durante i primi giorni abbiamo riscontrato problemi alla caldaia e all'impianto elettrico impedendoci di avere l'acqua calda nei sanitari e di poter gestire vari elettrodomestici contemporaneamente. L'host nonostante fuori zona per quel periodo si é dimostrato disponibile a chiamare idraulici ed elettricisti. Purtroppo il problema della caldaia non poteva essere risolto completamente ma si é riusciti almeno per gli ultimi giorni a rendere fruibile in maniera appena sufficiente (dovuto alla scarsa pressione nell'impianto) un bagno consentendoci di lavarci a turni. L'impianto elettrico invece é stato riparato individuando il guasto. L'ideale sarebbe che l'host ampliasse i kW massimi disponibili per rendere più confortevole la permanenza di un certo numero di persone. A seguito di questi problemi abbiamo chiesto un adeguamento del prezzo che ci é stato concesso, sebbene rettificato e concesso solo in parte in quanto la proprietaria ha sostenuto di aver individuato danni all'abitazione (graffi al cotto creati muovendo probabilmente la sedia o con sassi rimasti sotto alle scarpe). Suggeriamo di confrontarsi con l'host sulla situazione caldaia prima di affittare nuovamente la struttura.

The village of Poppi, near Florence and Arezzo, has been selected as one of the “Borghi piu’ belli d’Italia” (Most beautiful villages of Italy).
The “Castello dei Conti Guidi”, first mentioned in documents in 1169, was owned by the Guidi family, that had control of Casentino. The architect is said to be Arnolfo di Cambio, who used Poppi’s Castle as a ‘prototype’ for “Palazzo Vecchio” in Florence, that he also designed. The castle hosted Dante Alighieri, who wrote here part of his famous “Divina Commedia”, during his exile from Florence.
The National Park “Foreste Casentinesi” is a paradise for mountain bikers, hikers, and those who love horse riding in the countryside. Depending on the season, it is possible to find chestnuts, wild berries, and “porcini” mushrooms. In winter, it is possible to ski at 30km from the villa.
St. Francis’ “Santuario de La Verna”, Camaldoli monastery, Romena with its Romanesque church and castle are nearby.
Firenze (58 km), Arezzo (38 km), Siena (100 km), Cortona (50 km), Anghiari (60 km) are not to be missed! The "Campigna" ski area is at about 30km, Bagno di Romagna (hot spings and SPA) is also at about 30km.
For a visit to the Italian East Coast beaches, Cervia/Cesenatico are at ~100km, Rimini is at 130km.
Casentino is separated from Chianti by the beautiful Vallombrosa forest, with its ancient abbey definitely worth a visit!
Local handcraft includes wrought iron and the special “Casentino” wool fabric.
Italian language school and Italian cooking and art classes in the old village (< 3 km).
For shopping lovers, one of the best designer outlets of Italy (The Mall) is at 40 minutes, while the Italian Fashion area “Spazio Lorj” is at 5 minutes.
Train station at ~1km.
Poppi castle and village at 1.5 miles.
Two bicycles are available for guests.
自我介绍
I will be happy to help you during your stay, suggesting the best places to visit, the best sport activities and experiences you can have in the area, or helping to organize a dinner or an Italian cooking class. I love travelling and hosting friends. I can speak English and French - although my French is a bit "rusty" - besides Italian (I have lived in both the UK and Belgium).
