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! ☀️

The house itself is done beautifully: cozy, lots of wood. the garden and olive orchard right outside the door offer lovely spaces to sit and paths to wander. Tremendous views everywhere. The hosts are very friendly and helpful without being intrusive. We loved the fresh eggs and the vegetables from their garden.

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!

Wir durften 10 Tage bei Gianna auf ihren Grundstück verbringen .. Sie ist eine tolle Gastgeberin hatte auch für den ersten Tag Verpflegung bereit gestellt .. Wein Spagetti, Olivenöl usw. Wir haben uns pudelwohl gefühlt .. Nur wer was gegen bellende Hunde hat( sie hat eine kleine Zucht mit etwa 20 Hunden ) für denjenigen is es vielleicht nichts.. Uns hat es überhaupt nicht gestört zumal sie ja auch täglich ins Umzäunte Freigelände dürfen.. Ein rundum toller Ort um Urlaub zu machen …

Perfekter Ort zum Herunterfahren!
Wir (2 Personen) waren für knapp 2 Wochen in dem Landhaus und haben es zu 100% genossen! Anreise: "Check-In" war problemlos, alles sehr sauber, insbesondere auch Bad und Küche, alles Wissenswerte gut vorbereitet in einem großen Ordner. Wir kamen an einem Vor-Feiertag, und Gianna - unsere Gastgeberin - hatte vorausschauend ein paar Basics zum Kochen eingekauft, weil ja die Geschäfte nicht offen haben würden - wow! Haus: der Wohn-/Essbereich ist auch der Eingangsbereich - 1 großer Raum mit Couch und Esstisch. Für unseren Aufenthalt im November ein wichtiger Raum; im Sommer wird man sicher mehr draußen sein. Nach oben geht's zur Galerie = Küche. Voll ausgestattet - lediglich einen Backofen gibt es nicht. Wir haben ausgiebig gekocht - Töpfe, Pfannen etc. waren ausreichend vorhanden. Über eine schmale Wendeltreppe geht es nach unten ins Schlafzimmer und ins Bad. Gerade bei der An-/Abreise ist es hilfreich, dass man auch von außen dort hin gelangt; im Alltag bleibt die Treppe - und die ist wirklich schmal. Wir haben sehr gut geschlafen; das Bad ist klein aber ausreichend; großzügige Schränke - damit man nicht aus dem Koffer leben muss - sind vorhanden. Umgebung: Man ist "ab vom Schuss"; wir fanden das super. Mit dem Zug ist man von Pontassieve in 20 Minuten mitten in Florenz, ansonsten mit dem Auto schnell "überall". Ausdrücklich hervorzuheben ist die Herzlichkeit der Gastgeberin Gianna. Wir haben viel über den Anbau von Oliven gelernt - vielen Dank auch dafür!
