Vacation Rental Description
THE HOUSE: 
 
Would you like to spend a wonderful week in complete relaxation in the picturesque countryside of Tuscany? Our villa is what you are looking for. Located in one of the most beautiful tuscan landscapes, it is an enchantingly renovated old country house set on the hillside near the little town of Palaia (Pisa) and surrounded by a marvellous natural fresco where flowers, olives and vineyards are some of the main subjects. The accommodation is completely furnished in a rustic way, with traditional floors and nice wooden beam-ceilings. On the ground floor you can find the kitchen/dining room complete with oven, big wooden dining table, a large hob, freezer and fridge. The sitting room, where you can relax by the fire on two comfortable sofas and listen to some good music, is carefully furnished and communicates with the dining room. The bathroom is also on the ground floor and has a roomy shower, basin, w.c. and bidet. Upstairs there are two bedrooms, the first one with twin beds , excellent wardrobe and TV and the second with a double bed, TV and DVD. Every little detail has been chosen with much care and interest. From our property guests may reach every interesting historical city like Florence, Pisa, Lucca or important seaside resorts like Viareggio (large beaches) and Castiglioncello (rocky coast) in more or less one hour. The estate, completely isolated from noise and pollution of towns, is ideal for those who look for relax and privacy. Moreover the location is well related with the most famous “wine itinerary” and it is for example very nice to drive along the road to San Gimignano, which passes through hills and valleys, and along which many farms produce and sell their own olive oil and wine for competitive prices. Or maybe going further to Siena (about one hour thirty by car) and eat “spaghetti” in Piazza del Campo, which in august changes into a race-course and you can see the Palio. Our vacation home is equipped with all the modern facilities to make your stay as pleasant and easy as possible. There is nothing more to say; now it is time to see our house with your own eyes! 
 
 
THE AREA: 
 
Palaia is a small village with a gorgeous country around. It is defenetly a good base to visit the beauties of Tuscany, living at the same time to relax of an uncontaminated environment. Only 15 mins by car and you are in Pontedera, small city but with lots of nice bars, pubs and restaurant as well as a lot of activities such as tennis, swimming pools, football and so on. If you want to visit the 'Dome', the 'Uffizi' or 'Ponte Vecchio' in Florence (the cradle of Renaissance) you can go either by car (1h20) or by train from Pontedera (50mins). One day you could go to Pisa and lay in the sun on the grass of 'Piazza dei Miracoli' with the famous 'Leaning Tower' in front of you (50 mins by car or 15 mins with the train from Pontedera). What else? Siena, San Gimignano with its medioeval borgo, Lucca sorrounded by its famous walls and Volterra are some of the destinatios that make Tuscany the most famous italian region all over the world, and they are all reachable in an hour, an hour and a half at most. We will be very happy to give informations about place where to go, good restaurants and nice venues! 
 
 
MEANS OF ACCESS: 
 
-From FLORENCE: take the FI-PI-LI (Fireze-Pisa-Livorno) highway towards PISA, exit PONTEDERA 
 
-From PISA: take the FI-PI-LI (Firenze-Pisa-Livorno) highway towards FLORENCE, exit PONTEDERA (not PONTEDERA-PONSACCO but the next one) 
 
Then follow the directions to PALAIA, when you have passed VILLA SALETTA, begin to slow down, after some bends you will find a big white road sign of PARTINO. Take the road that goes to the right immediatly after the PARTINO road sign, drive along this road (that soon becomes a dirt road) keeping left until you find a tarmac road, go downhill and you have arrived.

Nous avons séjourné une semaine en famille (2 adultes et 2 adolescents) dans cette charmante maison toscane, du 3 au 10 juillet 2010. Le site est magnifique, isolé et en pleine campagne. Les hôtes nous ont réservé un accueil des plus chaleureux : victuailles à notre arrivée, panier de figues fraîches le deuxième jour et petit cadeau de départ. Absolument charmant... La maison est entièrement équipée et rien ne manque au confort. Elle est située à proximité raisonnable des principaux sites d'intérêt : Cinque Terre, Pise, Florence, San Gimignano, Volterra, Sienne... Que dire de plus... Je recommande cette maison à tous ceux qui rêvent d'intimité et de paysages enchanteurs.

Vous rêvez de découvrir cette belle région qu'est la Toscane, rendez-vous dans cette charmante demeure, richement décorée et fort accueillante. Tout est prévu pour la détente dans un site arboré, avec pour seuls compagnons, les arbres, les oiseaux, le soleil. Un havre de paix. Les hôtes ont un sens très développé de l'hospitalité en vous préparant un panier garni pour votre arrivée et ne manquent pas de s'inquiéter de vous durant le séjour. Il ne vous reste plus qu'à sillonner les routes à la dévouverte des ruelles, des façades fleuries et des villes médiévales petites ou grandes. Bonnes vacances!

Marvellous stay in Tuscany.

The description regarding the location, layout, facilities and so on was accurate. The property was very clean, the garden all around very well maintened. The sight from the terrasse is unbelievable! We found everything we needed within the house. I certainely would recommend this location to a friend. There are many activities available from the house: for example we went to Florence by train from Pontedera thanks to the advice of the owner, The owner welcame us very friendly and gave us many good advices to enjoy our stay the most possible.

We had a wonderful time at Casa Fabia (four adults and a three year old). Great for cooking, eating, reading and walking. Very homely, lovely old kitchen, very very quiet. Don't expect nightlife unless you drive to it! At the end of a track that goes nowhere else, just turns into footpaths into the valley below. We only saw the occasional hunter there. Surrounded by vineyards. Good shower too. Owners went out of their way to help. I feel relaxed just thinking about it.

Wonderfull holiday in tuscanys perl.

We arrived by car in the afternoon and because it was a little bit difficult to find the house, we called the owner by phone. In five minuts he met us at the village entrance and
took us on a small road 1KM to the house. It is on a winehill and has no neighbours nearer than a half KM. There was nothing to hear, only the birds and the wind. When we arrived, there was a welcome-surprise on the kitchen table. All things you need at the first day were in this present.The house was very clean at has a modern and antique furniture and many interressing things from the tuscany countrylive. All things are running. Next supermarket in a village about 12 minuts bei car. Also some shops to buy fish, bread and clothes and a petrol station. Very interessting are trips to Pisa, Lucca and Volterra. Firenze very loud and full of cars motorbiks- difficult to drive.We find a nice beach nothern Livorno, near Lido for less on hot days up to 36 °. We used the recommendation of the owner for restaurents in the near surrounding: delicious and cheap tuscany specials.
Very suitable to rest in a loveley countryside and as a start
for trips to the old tuscany citys. You urgently need a car or motorbike. We would like to come back in one of the
next years.
Many thanks to to the very kind owner and his family.

The Best Villa Possible and NO Other Villa Nearby.

The owners were extremely friendly with us and left us some food and wine for our arrival. They also have their own vineyard where the villa is situated and they leave some wine which you can buy as you use it at about 5 euros. It is really tasty and good value!!

It is a greta location for arriving either in Pisa or Florence and dead easy to vsit those towns either by car or driving to a local train station about 20 minutes away.

We also exlored other areas of Tuscany including San Gimignano which is the most gorgeous town.

Finally, I also asked my girlfriend to marry me on the last day and she said yes!! The owners left us a wee surprise on the last evening as well.

Perfect!

Wonderful, relaxing holiday.

The cottage was perfectly located for travelling to Pisa, Florence and Siena and all the lovely little towns in between. San Gimignano is definitely our favourite.
The cottage itself was very homely and comfortable and we found it very difficult to leave, especially the lovely views over the vineyards and olive groves.
Matteo made us feel very welcome and was most helpful, and the lovely gifts upon arrival and departure were much appreciated.
A wonderful time and a place I would certainly return to.
Thanks so much.

"La maison est très accueillante et chaleureuse (à l''image de ses propriétaires). L''environnement est très beau: les déjeuners sur la terrasse face aux levers de soleil qui illuminent le paysage toscan sont un grand plaisir. Tout est très bien."
