Villa Il Castello in Ortignano Raggiolo♡

Guest review

10.0

Novella is een perfecte gastvrouw. Het huis en de tuin zijn zeer ruim. Het zwembad schoon en groot genoeg. Heel bijzonder om in zo'n historisch castello te verblijven! Echt een unieke ervaring! De uitzichten rondom zijn magnifiek. De pelletkachel kon het hele huis goed verwarmen zodat ook de avonden binnen (we waren er in mei) behaaglijk waren. De kookcursus, door Novella zelf gegeven, was geweldig! Een echte aanrader.

− De bedden waren wat aan de harde kant, maar niet onoverkomelijk.

This is a truly atmospheric and charming place to stay. The host was incredibly nice, welcoming, and very easy to communicate with. We absolutely loved the outdoor area the backyard is fantastic, complete with a lovely swimming pool and a cozy gazebo perfect for relaxing. The property is also exceptionally well-equipped. The kitchen had all the necessary appliances, including a great coffee machine, and the overall furnishings made it feel like a real home away from home.

− The only minor downside is that it can get quite cold inside during the night.

A wonderful stay in a charming vintage house with stunning garden, pool, great facilities and an amazing host. We can’t

We had an absolutely wonderful experience! The house is spacious, beautiful, and fully equipped with all possible facilities. The garden with its view and the stunning pool were a highlight, and we truly appreciated that someone came several times to clean the pool. The host was extremely kind and welcoming. One evening she prepared us a delicious dinner, with generous portions and excellent value for money. The accommodation itself is amazing, a charming old house, very well preserved, with beautiful vintage furniture and decor. Our whole group was deeply impressed, and we can’t wait to return. Six days felt far too short, as we would have loved to enjoy the place even more.

− Everything was amazing!

Sehr zu empfehlen: Erholung pur und genug Platz für eine Fußballmannschaft!

Wir hatten eine wundervolle Zeit bei Novella. Unser Highlight war der Pasta-Kochkurs bei ihr - lehrreich, lecker, lustig. Tolle Ausgangslage für Ausflüge nach Arrezzo, Poppi oder auch Florenz. Letzteres hat jedoch knapp 2h Anfahrt mit dem Auto und war auch Mitte Oktober noch heillos überlaufen. Die P&R-Parkplätze waren bereits um 9h morgens dicht.

− Es war relativ kühl in den Räumen.

It is a lovely place to relax

9.0

It's a beautiful place to relaxt with your friends or family. The villa is completely equipped, clean, and comfortable. A very friendly host with the option for a live cooking class or dinner/lunch service as an option. It's a lovely place to stay!

− There is no toilet around the swimming pool, and an outside kitchen would be a nice addition.

Definitely recommend the place

A wonderful house in the middle of nature. The location is a bit remote, but allowed us a quiet and pleasant vacation during the peak of the tourist season. The view is breathtaking. The pool was perfect. We took a cooking class from the owner of the place which was very enjoyable and delicious.
