Perfect countryside villa
Stunning villa perfectly embedded in the countryside with great views into the nearby forest and to the hill of Montegiovi. We used the villa for eight people (including three children and one teenager) and felt it very spacious and practical (short ways to the kitchen from outside for example, comfortable entry, all spaces optimally useable for storing, hot water shower outside on the back side of the bar). Everything was as shown on the pictures, very clean and in best shape (we were maybe the fourth or fifth renters). Perfectly maintained 12m-pool with bar. The villa is best to access from Montegiovi, paved road until the last 300 m (after the bridge over the Ente river, but almost flat street section, no 4x4 needed) accessible with normal cars.
Even though the lower regions of Tuscany were very hot it was very comfortable in- and outside of the villa Pangea; quite often a soft wind was blowing and temperatures were in maximum at around 30° C (second half of July). The nearby Ente river is a paradise of nature and can be used for cooling and playing around too. The toys in the huge garden were great and fully functional. The outdoor kitchen was regularly used including the grill. The house is fully climatized, the bathrooms were perfect and all windows were equipped with fly screen, therefore the inside was completely insect-free. We twice had a local inhouse-chef for cooking, which was a great pleasure. Almost every day we got vegetables from the vegetable garden on site. The surrounding vineyards are all worth visiting and have very high-quality wines (especially Hortulanus (Podere Bugnanese) and Castello di Potentino). Supermarkets are present in Arcidosso, great bakery (Corsini) in Castel del Piano. Weekly markets in surrounding towns are worth visiting and have great local products.
The owner couple (Paola and Angelo) cleaned the pool every morning in the early hours when we were still sleeping. Daily water quality control for low chloride of the water, which was very comfortable avoiding red eyes especially for the children. They gave us a lot of information for sightseeing and restaurants. The garden was green even though we didn’t have much rain and it was dry at least six weeks before we arrived.
We enjoyed the villa and the great garden for two weeks and hope renting it again. Absolutely recommendable!
