A lovely spot for a peaceful getaway

We had just under a week in which we wanted a mixture of pool side relaxing and short drives to explore villages and beaches and this was pretty perfect for that. The surroundings to the property are beautiful, lush green olive groves and fruit orchards. The pool is a lovely size, well maintained and a great temperature for the hot summer days. The apartment we were given was slightly different to the advertised generic pictures on the site but this didn't bother us too much as we spent most of our time outside anyway and it wasn't that different, just the view was missing which was a shame. The beds were very comfortable. There were some basics in the kitchen but we had to buy oil so best to check what's there with the hosts before doing a shop on your way. Lots of pans etc so cooking was easy and Franco gifted us a couple of home made bottles of wine which was very kind of them. There are lots of near by villages within 1.5 hrs, including our favourites, San Gimignano and Volterra as well as half hour from Pisa (and it's airport). The hosts were very friendly and helpful and always keen to give advice if you need it. Overall, a positive stay in a very beautiful location. :)

A beautiful part of Italy

Myself and my family stayed in Alba apartment and we loved the apartment, the farmhouse, the country side and everthing about the area. The owners Mara and Franco were so good to us , cooking us a lovely tasty pasta dish on arrival a together with their own red wine. I would highly recomend this location for anyone who wants to enjoy the real Tuscany experiance , Seamus Casserly Ireland

Beautiful place

Just returned from a fabulous 4 night stay at this beautiful Tuscan farmhouse. Can't fault the booking process, communication with owners or house in any way. Set on a quiet street but only 30 min drive from Pisa airport it had the views, comforts and facilities we wanted. Stayed with a group of 4 girls in Alba which was one of the larger ground floor apartments. We had been left a delicious lunch and bottle of local wine for our arrival which was most welcome. Francesco very friendly and helpful. The three resident cats were also lovely! We didn't eat out much as preferred to make the most of the delicious food and wine found locally so spent a lot of our time on our terrace or by the pool. Would recommend having a car as we would have been a bit stuck without this. There are local shops but the supermarket is approx 10 mins drive away.

Beautiful farmhouse set in the most wonderful countryside.

We had a wonderfully relaxing stay. This apartment is off the beaten track and you get the chance to experience the real Italy. The local people were incredibly friendly as were our hosts Mara and Franco. Perfectly locted for trips to Pisa, Lucca and Florence. We couldn't have asked for more.

a great place in the middle of Tuscany

The reception by the owners was warm. We found some local dishes in the fridge and a bottle of wine. The appartment was spacy and the necessary equipment was available. The only machine missing was a coffee-machine or a Senseo. The Tramonto appartment has a nice veranda, where you can enjoy your drinks or meals. We were not so lucky with the weather, it was a bit too cold for the season. The property was clean and well maintained. The master bed was a bit short for tall guy like me (1,94m). If you search for a quite place in the middle of Tuscany, this is a nice place to stay. Equipped with a nice (not heated) swimming pool, and beds to lie on. Thank you Mara, Franco and Francesco for your great welcome. We enjoyed our stay with you, you are lovely people, take care :-)

One week is not long enough

We had a lovely stay at Podere Costantino. The apartment was even nicer than it looked in the photos and very clean. We were welcomed straight away by Mari and Franco who are very lovely and generous and provided a lovely Tuscan meal for us which was a lovely touch for our first night along with a bottle of their own wine and fresh figs and tomatoes. I was a little disappointed the cupboards did not have any condiments but the kitchen was fairly well equipped for a family of 4. Mari and Franco were very accommodating and had we asked would probably have provided us with some. There is a washing machine there for 3 euros per wash which is very useful. The farmhouse is split into apartments so not recommended if you want total privacy. The pool was the highlight of my childrens' stay and there is also Italian Bowling (so much fun!) and swings. It was lovely to be able to walk in the vineyard and olive groves. The worse thing about our stay was the mosquito bites we all endured (there were also a few wasps about too). Next time we will be better prepared and buy in the citronella candles etc. The location is very good for touring the area, we went to Lucca, Volterra, San Gimininano, Florence, Siena and Pisa and the beach at Donoratico (all within 30-90mins by car). There is also a Conad supermarket about 8-10mins away. We would highly recommend staying at Podere Costantino and will be back if we get the chance.

Excellent accommodation

Mara and Franco are wonderful hosts and really make you feel as if you are visiting them in their home - not just another holiday rental. They make a huge effort to make everything special and relaxed - the meal they provide on a Sunday evening (at no extra cost) is superb and Franco's regular gifts of fruit and veg from his farm is such a lovely touch. The apartments are not huge although our bedroom in Aurora was very generous as was the bathroom. The living space is fairly compact but to be honest why would you spend a lot of time indoors! The pool is spotless and the covered areas are most welcome as it got pretty hot there in August. There's a lovely wood fired barbecue with plenty of wood available and replenished as it's used. The apartments have a communal washing machine and individual clothes drying areas. If I had to find a (minor) negative it would be that there's no dishwasher which we knew about in advance but if you like to cook a lot as we did then it means washing up becomes a bit of a chore. The only other downside is that the balcony area with outdoor seating which the two first floor apartments have is very confined. The apartment next to ours had to squeeze past us if we were sitting outside so that was a bit off putting and meant we didn't utilize our outdoor space as much as we could have. However...would we return? Absolutely definitely yes!!! The location is great - only half an hour from Pisa airport and close to Volterra, San Gimignano, Pontedera...a really great base not too far off the beaten track but equally comfortable if you just want to spend your time lounging by the pool. The people in the other apartments had all visited numerous times before so that's a great indicator of what a great place this is. We truly had a superb holiday

Wonderful stay Podere Costantino

We loved our week in the Alba apartment. Podere Costantino is a very peaceful beautiful place to stay in the countryside. Relaxed at the refreshing pool after returning from daytrips to the San Vincenzo beach, Firenze, Pisa, Siena and San Gimignano (must see!) Mara and Franco are very sweet and welcoming hosts. The apartment has everything you need to enjoy your stay. We definitely recommend this place and would love to come back soon! Saluti da Curacao

Back here for the second time, arriving late due to traffic and being meet by smiling Franco and Mara with nice appetizers after the Long journey. We very much enjoy the tranquillity, beautiful surroundings and the fact that only 4 familys Can stay there, so you get the Nice private atmosphere. The picture of the terrace outside our apartment doesnt do it Justice. Its surrounded with plants to make it nice for cost morning breakfasts etc. A lot of possibilities for Wine tastning in the area. We will be back! Thank you and ciao. Noam, Samuel, Michael & Camilla
