Very charming villa in a perfect location!
My husband and I rented the villa for a family vacation from June 25 to July 8. There were 6 adults, 2 teenaged granddaughters and 2 young grandsons. The villa is perfectly located for sightseeing day trips or enjoying the ocean. The above ground pool was used daily by the children. It was shallow enough that our 5 year old grandson could walk around in it. The grounds are very spacious with flowers and fruit trees. The children could run around the yard safely. A big drawback to the outdoors, though are the voracious mosquitos! It was lovely sitting outdoors at the very long table, but you need bug spray or clothes with insect repellent impregnated in them or you get attacked by the mosquitos!
The villa has two floors as separate apartments. We rented both floors, which worked out perfectly. Unfortunately, there is no sitting (living) room. There is a dining room table on the first floor which some of us could sit around, but not very comfortably. There was a rather shabby small couch in that room too, which needs to be gotten rid of soon. Originally, one of the downstairs bedrooms was probably a living room.
Torre Del Lago is a wonderful small town. It's a place where Italians go to vacation we heard. It is close to small medieval villages and the big city, Florence. Having a train station nearby was very helpful and fun! Luca advised us to visit Montecarlo, a quaint village, which we did, and loved it.
Luca and Lisa are very friendly and helpful. Luca even brought us fresh vegetables from their garden! If we have the opportunity, we'll definitely return to this charming villa!
