Il Casale Vicchio, Tuscany

Peaceful and good location, services nearby, friendly hosts, clean both inside and out, nice courtyard area with swimming pool, also suitable for families with children, we had a really good time.

The reason I have only rated this as average is because internally it needs some repairs and updating. The kitchen was quite average and lots of utensils and containers to use for cooking had to be rewashed before use. One of the bathrooms needed repairs to the tiles in the shower. The pool was a perfect size and the garden was a good size. It is a 5-10 min drive to nearest shops- and 1 hour and 10 mins to walk but it can be very hot and there are no footpaths on the main road. The key holder lives nearby and speaks English and is helpful with booking restaurants etc. There was a super local restaurant-all local produce and homemade called XXX which is a good thing to do on your last night. If you don't want to drive very far and just relax a bit this is a good property.
