- Good morning, Mr. Paul, I regret having to suffer in this context, but I can not respond to his review, which, however, I consider legitimate and as for me, even helpful in a continuous enrichment and personal and professional improvement. I will try to respond point by point to his testimony, so well detailed as you did. - My father, described in many reviews the "great Antonio" is perhaps considered that, since it is definitely a "memory" at the disposal of our products. guests, always ready, if asked, to suggest interesting and alternative routes to all lovers of jogging or cycling (many who come to us) or trips in the car, to the discovery of several places evocative of the Maremma, with its advice on where to eat . There are also many anecdotes and stories he tells on ns. earth and characters that have inhabited it over the years. My father is a "great" why, do not save in his work that is not only take care of 22 hectares of land of our. property or ns. olive grove of 800 trees from which it draws an oil good, but why take with great care and cleaning of the garden in which it stands the farmhouse and pool, where the water is always in excellent condition, always with its continuous and constant abnegation. The fact that he said some rules, at the time of vs. arrival is part of the moment that we call "welcome", in which, when the guest arrives, he will be shown the different areas of the farm, some of which must be complied with the rules, you see, the bins to separate out the gate, or the pool, are on display at the entrance rules dictated by the current farm law in force in Tuscany and that, in fact by law, must be present on visible sign clearly visible in this area. I should point out that the present time in the pool from 10.00 to 20.00 is indicative. It 'been shown to protect us, because we need time for daily cleaning of this busy area, including the control of water in the tank, but do not forbid anyone, unless there is a particular reason to do a swim in the early morning or evening. However, my father, "is a great" definitely for me and my family because, with my mother, worked hard all my life, never sparing hand down to the beautiful corner of Maremma where I live and I work with great love and passion and of which she was a guest. - With regard to the studios, I do not doubt that, during the weekly cleaning has been inadvertently removed a small spider web, an oversight in the rush can happen, but I do not think of them delivered a dirty apartment, as I often do cleaning personally and I would like in particular, the rest in various reviews on this site, cleaning is praised more 'than anything else. Maybe he found a dead bug on the floor, after they were done cleaning routine. If, rightly, the spider was annoyed, and could not tell me .... as I readily and willingly accepted the morning, despite the check-in is from 17.00, making them put your bags in the house and the fresh food in my refrigerator, so that they earn a day at the beach, I would readily and willingly intervened in his quarters. The rules mentioned in the studio are the ones we put on display only in the bathroom, in a sign, where it was written not to throw in the towel and toilet not to use the towels to wipe up off or shoes. Perhaps it even refers to the suggestion in the Guest Book not hold the TV high after 22.00. Excuse me if we had to bring out these rules, that we also, at the beginning of this work, appeared to be "elementary". However, we were wrong and act accordingly, noting that unfortunately, some guests take much .... sometimes inappropriate behavior, it is their home! As for the walls, drains, .... what to say, everything has been done, as they say, in a workmanlike manner and without saving bricks and cement and the building of the farm, however, is still a "small" building where live 5 families, you can not expect not to hear noise, was perhaps best then choose from it a property with a detached annexe, just for her. Thank you also for having "pardoned" for breakfast, it was not deliberate forgetfulness (I also have a human being) and I gladly remedied, as you yourself noted, in fact he did very well to make me this, as I myself I offer it to him, to thank you for your welcome reservation. As for the pizza, then, I'm happy that enjoyed it, even if it has not seemed so special, since it is similar to that prepared her mother, then surely that is a good cook, as well as yourself a fortunate son ! It was not possible to organize the dinner or the various tastings of our. oil or wine in the cellar with whom we work constantly, week by week, as it is written in my e-mail booking, as it rained often during the week you were on our. guests. When the weather is bad and people do not "see" the farm, as in summer, spending their days at the beach and in the pool, there are few times when you meet and it is difficult for us to put together and organize anything, given that it is often only in the company and the guests coming back in dribs and drabs, often in the evening after dinner, engaged in their activities and excursions outside of our company. structure. One afternoon as I had crushes the grapes with strawberry and in the evening I did try a few guests who were in the house, for example, you were not there! I'm sorry because I would have gladly offer to you! I think before judging it would be better so even analyze the circumstances. I organized tastings of olive oil and wine throughout the summer, some photos of, they are also on my business page for FACE BOOK! I'm sorry then that the exterior of his home was not to his liking, perhaps had not clearly seen the pictures on the website before you book, the courtyard surrounded by the two studios was also adorned with terracotta animals purchased in the spring by me personally in a handicraft factory in the Crete Senesi! Since the images correspond exactly to reality, probably had to choose for your vacation a structure with environments more 'refined, certainly more' suitable to your taste. On the website and in the e-mail then do not talk about goods need provided (see salt, soap dishes, coffee etc..), This expectation is disappointed, but not because of us that we are almost manic with regard to descriptions in order not to create false expectations (knows my web master who care for years on my site). As for the light "dim" external is the first one who makes this observation, since many guests before her, ate whole summers outside their accommodation without ever moving an observation (indeed, for some I even unscrew the light bulbs because they want to see the stars!) In this regard, the pack of dogs barking at the farm at 1 km. line distance daria on a hill in front of us .... ..... I do not know 'what to say, this is new to me! We are still in the country, I can not silence the frogs in the pond, the dogs of the surrounding hills, not to mention the cicadas in the garden!! We did not then ABSOLUTELY 1000 gates. The farm covers an area of ??one hectare fenced to protect us from the animals at night or criminals could enter without permission, the fence is also a security for families staying with children as well, are always under control, in a limited area and secure. There are, in the perimeter fence gates: one where we come in with the machine (then private), one for the guests (big gate that opens to unload the luggage and adjacent small and convenient back-gate to enter and exit during the day), and a gate that leads to the tool shed my father. I only see two gates then available to agritourists, not 1000. In the property, outside of the farm there is also a vegetable garden fenced, of course, for us not to eat the fruit from wild boars or ns. horses would be happy to eat the salad and eat the sweet and juicy tomatoes father Antonio. The area of ??the lake where the horses is also fenced for various reasons that I list at this point: first, the fence is by law, since there is a body of water, to which the guests very large, large and small can not have free access to security reasons and secondly, of course, the horses could escape if left in an open area, also being in the wild, approachable course, but with the ns. presence. Animals are docile but could be a danger, however, "the public" inexperienced, although nature lovers. Pony to the pampering you can do as my father often makes them exceptionally also enter in the garden, especially Lightning, to be approached by the children, with the consent of their parents. Finally it must be noted that within the next year, in compliance with applicable law farmhouse Tuscany, for security reasons we put a gate for access to the pool. I'm still glad that the Maremma, has been to his liking, and sincerely hope to be able to spend more good times ...... because the Maremma is a special place. Close noting that although it makes the maximum each year, you can not please everyone and that in any case, you could live megli if each of us to adopt a little 'more' of understanding, tolerance and respect for others. Cordially. Daniela.
