Superb stay in an idyllic setting, with the splendid Orcia Valley as a backdrop, surrounded by vineyards and olive groves.
The apartment "Le belvédère" is clean, spacious and very functional, and the almost private swimming pool is very popular with ... Read more

The kitchen was tiny, the chairs much too low for the table, the door could not be opened during the meal, then you had the wing in the back, insufficiently equipped (no kitchen knife, 2 pots, no toaster, no microwave, capsule coffee machine with 2 capsules to welcome, we ... Read more

Reply from the host

Dear Althoff,

we are really sorry to read such a comment, which was probably just a pretext for you to harm our image.

We are always available to solve problems, as we reside in the company, although discreetly so as not to invade the customer's space. At the reception you found the owner, my husband, and our daughter.
Moreover, the owner is often around, as it is a farm to be managed all round.

We wrote in the information of the accommodation that we do not provide the mocha coffee maker and this is because, in the past, tourists used them improperly, literally devastating them, pulverizing all the machines we gave as well as the fires.
This led us to remove them from the apartments. However, we have remedied this with capsule machines, the supply of which is about 3 km away.
Also, reading the information, some tourists bring their own personal mocha machines from home.

The oven replaces the toaster oven for making bread crispy. Then, available are dishwasher, refrigerator, and for cooking there is everything you need, including bread knife. Anything you would have needed in addition, if you had asked for it, we would have provided it anyway.
The glasses are a suitable number for the number of adults, as minors do not drink wine. Again, we could have added them if you had asked.
The door sometimes slides less because it is made of wood and is subject to moisture and can swell, but in any case it opens regularly all the time.

There are 2 terraces available, a large one with a 6/8 table with 4 chairs, a smaller terrace with a small round table and 2 chairs.
WiFi unfortunately in the countryside is slow, as fiber does not arrive. On this point we cannot do otherwise.

You kept garbage in the apartment for 5 days giving as an explanation, "We didn't know where to throw it." You could have asked for that as well.
The only reason you contacted us was inherent in a matter of price, which you then did not mention in this comment, since the responsibility
of carelessness was in that case yours.

Overall, we were really sorry to read all this after the fact and not have had a chance to do anything about it during your stay, as none of this was pointed out while you were staying with us.

However, we greet you thanking you for spending time at our company.
Emanuela, Simone and Beatrice
