Truly the most amazing host, Cinzia and experience and place to visit of a lifetime!!
From the very beginning, CINZIA was over the top gracious, beyond accommodating and truly the best host we've both ever encountered! Cinzia was like my Italian fairy god mother, constructing all the fine details of our wedding here! The views are unmatched here, and the rose garden, bridge and pond with lots of little frogs and most beautiful pristine nature, I've ever seen and the grounds were the most beautiful for our wedding backdrop! I feel so fortunate to have met and stayed in Cinzia's perfect location! There are 4 apartments here which keep it so quaint and special of a visit, while able to accommodate many people! The small village was adorable with the friendliest of people and of course fresh brioches delivered every morning and amazing food and coffee we had every day, breakfast, lunch dinner, all just across the way! Anyone staying here, will have the most extreme loving care and full delight of all Tuscany has to offer! Cinzia is definitely one of the most amazing women, I've ever met. Cinzia is what made Italy so memorable and wonderful!! Being here was the best decision we could have made for our wedding ceremony in Italy! Seriously unmatched spectacular sunsets, especially walking through the olive groves with the most expansive views, and rolling hills of the Tuscan region!!! All the people here are the kindest, and most helpful in this village!!! We felt so celebrated even walking down the tiny main street, while everyone clapped and cheered after for our wedding celebration and continuing the joy for our 6 day stay! The food is incredible in this region and you are walking distance to it all, even a tiny little market having all you need! Honestly, I am grateful eternally and enchanted with Cinzia and this amazing place in lano! She booked our wedding ceremony dinner in a place we would never have known about (locals only) and it was the best dinner we had on our 3 week stay in Italy!!! She also treated us to our wedding cake, completely surprised by her generosity and genuine gesture!! When we visit Italy again we would stay here first and formost out of all the places we've been, including the Cinque Terre, Venice, Florence, Sienna , Lucca, Dolomites, Le valle, and anywhere for that matter! Also again I cannot recommend this place enough especially with the best hostess of a lifetime, Cinzia made our stay beyond amazing and we feel so lucky to have met her!! We miss her already and Italy too!!! Thank you

Séjour dans un cadre exceptionnel
Au coeur de la toscane, cette charmante maison située à 70 kms de Florence, Sienne, Lucques et Pise et à 15 kms des superbes villages de San Gimignano, Voltera permet d'alterner des visites culturelles variées avec la gastronomie italienne. Les 2 restaurants du village sont excellents et la piscine permet de se délasser après une grosse journée. La Toscane est une région trés vallonnée où il fait bon à vivre.

Iano-Urlaub August 2023
Der Ort Inao mit dem sehr netten Einkaufsladen und Kaffe ist sehr schön und spiegelt sehr gut den italienschen Flair wieder. Die Unterkunft war sauber und soweit gut. Leider fehlen viele Haken und Kochlöffel aus Holz und es sind keine kleine Schüsseln vorhanden. Hier sollte "nachsortiert" werden. Die Dusche ist relavtiv klein und die Duschtüre undicht, sodass nach jedem Duschvorgang das Bad "unter Wasser" gestanden ist. Karl+Regine

Great stay at a Great location
Nice apartment with central location in little village in the Toscany countryside. Friendly host. Great pool which the kids absolutely loved. Unfortunately a bit too many mosquitos at times.
