Lovely people and location

Gianna and her family were so welcoming, friendly and helpful and did everything possible to ensure that we were having a great holiday, from suggestions for restaurants to sights to see. Gianna was always available, but not intrusive. We enjoyed a lovely welcome pack, including a bottle of her own olive oil, wine and beer, plus essentials such as milk, butter and eggs. The garden had lovely views across the valley and to the hills beyond. The kitchen was well equipped, though without an oven which wasn't a problem for us. The spiral staircase from the living room down to the bedroom and bathroom, though quaint, may be a problem for people with mobility problems. A car is essential to get around, including to the railway station at Pontassieve [10 minutes drive and free parking] for journeys to Florence and beyond, saving the hassle of parking in town. It would also be convenient to drive to Siena, which is well worth seeing, but can also be reached by train. We found a great restaurant just off this carpark called Bastian Contirario, plus another in Pelago called Leonia Bistrot. Both reasonably priced.We would thoroughly recommend staying at La Casina with Gianna.

The nicest host in Italy

What a pleasant and exceptionally helpful host Gianna is. Property is located on a small farm, you will feel part of the family. It is quite compact so really best suited for a couple. Property is ideally placed for travel around Tuscany, esp Florence, . The local train station is only a few kms away. Many thanks Gianna, we especially enjoyed the fresh eggs and Garden produce.

Lovely property, great location

My wife and I stayed here on a recent trip to Tuscany. The property is beautiful and quiet and you could not ask for a nicer hostess in Gianna. She gave us fresh eggs from her chickens, rustled up and adapter so we could charge our phones and answered every dumb question we asked. We picked this place because we wanted an easy way into Florence and it is perfect for that. The train station is literally five minutes away and the journey to Florence just 20 minutes. It’s also an easy drive to lots of other Tuscany attractions and hill towns. It’s an affordable family friendly atmosphere. We loved our stay.

Delightful quiet Tuscany Farm House

We will be back! Gianna and her family made us feel so welcome. Very clean, Comfortable bed, comfortable sofa! Everything is just as described and the family even shared some of their own olive oil from their orchard. Fresh eggs and vegetables at our door were so generous! The turn from the road to the driveway is hard to see but Gianna helped us find it no problem! We will miss the countryside there!

Our delightful Tuscany Stay at Pelago La Casina

My husband and I traveled to Italy to experience the beautiful Italian culture and countryside! Here at ‘La Casina’ we were able to experience Tuscany! The spring weather was perfect too! This was sadly our final week in Italy but it was one of the best weeks! We loved ‘La Casina’ which was charming and comfortable. The beds were very comfortable providing us with a very restful sleep after full days of exploring! The kitchen was perfectly equipped with everything we needed for our morning coffees, fruit plates (the oranges and strawberries were in season and so sweet) and some evening meals my husband cheffed up which we often ate outside on the patio surrounded by Gianna’s beautiful roses and flowers! The location was perfect with only a few minutes by car from the small town of Pontassieve where you can buy groceries from Coop. Also for a stress free trip we used the train from Pontassieve (for only around 3 euros/person) to Florence. There was also free parking in a designated area at the Pontassieve train station making the day very manageable. Gianna was the best host - she was kind and very accommodating! Our daughter and her friend joined us mid-week and also loved this countryside ‘La Casina’ which is located on the families olive farm. Relaxing in the sunshine, hiking on awesome paths and touring by car in Tuscany were memorable moments. Gianna’s daughter was very helpful giving us a hand to figure out our rented cars’ GPS which in the end was very important for us to have a great day out exploring new areas of the Chianti region -like the outlet luxury mall and the beautiful hotel villa la Palagina. One point we can add was the rented car was needed for our week long stay. We are so thankful to Gianna and her family for our wonderful stay at their lovely property! ☀️

Our stay at La Casina

This location far surpassed any other places we looked at. The 'little house' was perfect for my wife and I. The location was perfect for driving to villages around the area notably San Gimignano, Siena, Arezzo, Montepulciano and many other delightful towns along the way. Pontassieve, the little town 5 minutes away had a great grocery store for all your needs. Also you can park your car free at the train station and take a trip to Florence or Venice for the day. A very inexpensive way to see fabulous cities. We also drove to the coast as it is not a long drive to Lucca, Pisa, Viarreggio and even Cinque Terre. The owners of the little house could not have been more welcoming. When we arrived we found they had bought us coffee, some pasta, a bottle of wine, several beers, milk and cereal. They also gave us a basket of eggs and tomatoes which they replenished whenever we needed more. The house and grounds were amazing, we got to meet their cat and dogs and even their horse. The owner's daughter works in a nearby restaurant and a fabulous meal can be had there. We cannot praise this location highly enough...we would recommend it to anyone wishing to have a memorable visit to Tuscany. This is a delightful little house, fully equipped with everything you might need and well worth a vusit9. Our thanks to the owners who were so generous and kind to us during our stay.

We stayed at Pelago, Typical Tuscan Country House for a week in October.

The best! I think it was the highlight of our time in Italy of all the VRBO's we stayed in, this was the best! Gianna and her family were sweet, sincere, warm, friendly and caring about us. They made us feel at home. They made it clear that if we needed anything, to let them know and they would do their best to help! Just book it! The location is great for seeing the Tuscany region. We did trips to Pisa, Lucca, Cortana and other lovely Tuscan villages from the Cottage. The cottage is comfortable, well appointed and equipped.The views are wonderful and so typically Tuscan! Gianna has coffee and makings for a meal when you arrive.The property beautiful! Don't miss this if you have the chance! We highly recommend it and hope to return someday!

We had two wonderful weeks with our dog. The hostess is already waiting for you upon arrival. Just in case you haven't had time to do your grocery shopping yet, there's already everything you need to make breakfast or pasta. Fresh vegetables from her garden are also ready for you. The cottage is authentically furnished and equipped with air conditioning, which was definitely needed. It's wonderfully peaceful, and the pool is cleaned every morning. The whole family is incredibly friendly, and the cottage was fantastic. In short, a very successful holiday, highly recommended!
