Amazing place to spend your holiday. It was exactly what we were looking for and what were our expectations. Beautiful place, pure nature, the real feeling of Tuscany. We were received by our hosts Michael and his wife in a very warm way which made our stay really exceptional. We would like to recommend this place with all our hart. We hope to return there once.

La préparation du séjour a été bien menée avec Michael qui donne des explications claires et utiles Les plus : l’appartement est fonctionnel, propre et agréable. Les dépendances (extérieur aménagé) ajoutent au confort. Le site est un nid de quiétude appréciable après des visites touristiques. Mais le plus, c’est le professionnalisme de Michael , aidé de Julie, dans le traitement de ses hôtes : suivi du confort, amabilité, conseils touristiques, à quoi s’ajoutent une solide culture générale (anglais, français, italien courants) le sens du dialogue, de l’échange. L’ensemble dans un écrin de beauté Toscane. En vous accueillant, Michael et Julie vous prêtent les clés d’un petit paradis. Les moins : l’ensemble fait regretter le départ…

This is a great place, quiet, laudably sober and very good for people that are not married into rich families with large cars. Michael and Julie are host that you will not soon forget. Really, a very enjoyable place for visiting Tuscany. We did some biking with e-bikes, and that was nice but not always easy. Volterra, San Gimingiano, Cassole d'Elsa, Pisa, and certainly Lucca are place that you should see. May also Firenze?? Naples is too far away, so their is no reason to end your life here .....

Great base for exploring Tuscany. The apartment was exactly as described and perfect for our needs. We chose to eat out as only staying for a long weekend but the apartment was fully equipped for cooking simple meals, with a lovely area outside to enjoy the sunshine. Ideally placed to reach many areas, wonderful views, peace and quiet. Michael and Julie were perfect hosts with great knowledge of the area and lots of useful tips to make the stay the best it could be. Our only regret was that we only had 3 days to enjoy this beautiful area from a perfect base; hope to go back soon!

Michael told us a lot about the surrounding area. He and his wife were really pleasant hosts. We will definitely come back if we are in the neighborhood.

Nous avons passé trois jours chez Micheal, le lieu est très calme et très beau ! Son jardin est très beau et la vue superbe !! L’accueil de Micheal est magnifique et ses conseils pour les restaurants très précieux !! Merci Micheal et à une prochaine fois peut être !!

Wir wurden sehr herzlich begrüßt und haten sofort den Eindruck, dass unsere Gastgeber alles tun werden, um uns den Aufenthlt so angenehm wie möglich zu gestalten.

Un accueil super chaleureux chez un hôte avenant et multi-linguiste. Michael a été très disponible tout au long du séjour et nous avons partagé de très bons moments ensemble. Le logement est propre et de qualité, il correspond à la description faite; l'espace extérieur est très agréable et vaste.

The host is a very responsive and supportive person. She was in touch with us from the moment we booked the apartment until our departure, open and willing to help and assist whenever needed. The apartment more than met our expectations. Spacious, extremely clean, very well equipped and nicely decorated. Everything we needed was there at our disposal. It was a pleasure to spend time in there, especially on the big terrace. We strongly recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice and comfortable holiday apartment.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Vassya's apartment. It is clean, well-equipped, has a comfortable bed and a nice terrace with morning/afternoon sun and a Tuscan view. Vassya was clear and responsive in communications and was also so kind to give us some local tips. We recommend others to also stay at her apartment!

The house was great: clean, peaceful, quite big and really well equipped with a terrace of your dream. Vassya is really kind and careful about their guests. Everything perfect!

L'appartamento di Carlo è confortevole e pulito, luminoso, lui una persona molto gentile. Si trova nel centro di Casciana Terme e intorno si può trovare di tutto, dai locali alle terme. Un ottimo posto per un soggiorno rilassante. Grazie sicuramente torneremo o manderemo degli amici

If you want to make vacation in an typical tuscany village far away from mass tourism, carlos apartment is the perfect decision. The apartment is bigger and cozier than it looks on the photos, it was nice and very clean. It is also perfectly located for visiting pisa,florenze and livorno. The host gave us tips for our trip to pisa and florenze only residents would know. Unfortunately we only stayed for 2 nights.

Il nostro arrivo è stato molto semplice è accogliente. Carlo e la sua famiglia sono molto simpatici e l'appartemento è bellissimo e pulitissimo ! Ci siamo trovati perfettamente bene. Grazie :)

tutto bene

Tutto ok

Carlo and Marisa's apartment is the perfect place for exploring Tuscany, while being away from the crowds. I've spent 5 wonderful days with my 2 boys (8 and 14). Cascina Terme is a really relaxing village approx 40 kilometers (by car, you need to rent a car to move around) from Pisa and the beach (we went to Tirrenia beach and it was great for kids). Cascina is also 50 km from Florence and from the museum of Leonardo in Vinci village. The apartment itself has 2 spacious rooms and every convenience you need for a comfortable stay. There is free car park 2 mins from the house, big supermarkets 6-7 km from the village. The Terme are also amazing for kids (especially the outdoor swimming pool in the park!), we truly enjoyed our visit there and felt sorry we did it on our last day. We also loved the pizza takeaway close to the village center. All in all - so much to do and see in Tuscany and Cascina terme is conveniently located in the midst of everything :)

Llegamos por la noche y Matias hijo de Carlo nos recibió súper bien y con una botella de vino en la nevera. Es un apartamento muy toscano, céntrico y con todo los servicios. El pueblo se encuentra en medio de la Toscana y sus paisajes son de ensueño. Gracias familia, nos hemos sentido en casa

Ottima ubicazione per visitare Pisa e Volterra. Appartamento pulitissimo e dotato di qualsiasi cosa vi venga in mente. Ospiti accoglienti e riservati. Ottimo anche in estate con spazio esterno attrezzato. Noi ci siamo stati in dicembre, ma il paesaggio che si gode dalla casa è molto rilassante.

We spent eight nights at this piece of heaven in the Tuscan country side. We had a car and Cinzia and Claudio,s apt is the perfect place to explore Tuscany from. Literally on the outskirts of a small village it had a great view of gardens and fields, but only 5 mins to walk to the stores. The apt was fully equipped and the pics don,t show the true comfort of their home. Close by are two olive oil press companies, be sure to go if you are there in the fall. Cinzia and Claudio are both easygoing and helpful and it was a pleasure to meet them. The welcome basket was wonderful and greatly appreciated.

Cinzia and Claudio are very nice hosts. They have prepared "welcome food basket" for us. Their apartment is well equipped and looks like on posted pics. We spent perfect five days and we felt like home.

Cinzia et Claudio sont des hôtes absolument charmants. Nous avons passé 2 semaines très agréables. Le logement est parfait pour une famille avec 2 enfants et très bien agencé. Il est très bien situé dans la campagne toscane et permet de visiter les plus beaux sites. La terrasse est très agréable. Nous recommandons vivement!

Estive hospedada por tres meses nesta casa maravilhosa. Tudo estava perfeito. Fui recebida com muita gentileza e me esperava uma cesta com itens alimentares e outros na geladeira. Tudo muito organizado para me sentir em casa. O local é lindo. Tem um quintal aonde se pode desfrutar refeições ao ar livre, ou simplesmente admirar o por do sol com árvores, flores e belas oliveiras. Os anfitriões Cinzia e Claudio são de uma amabilidade, gentileza e disponibilidade cativantes. Posso dizer que encontrei anfitriões e amigos, que levarei para toda a vida. A cidade de Cassiana Terme além de bonita tem tudo o que se precisa. Bons restaurantes, cafeterias, bares, farmácia e uma piscina de águas termais que adorei. Ela é proxima das principais cidades da Toscana como Pisa, Florença, Siena, San Gimignano, Volterra entre outras. Se quiserem estar em um lugar maravilhoso sejam hóspedes na casa della nonna Rosa.

Cinzia e Claudio sono ospiti gentilissimi: presenti se serve ma estremamente discreti. L'appartamento è assolutamente delizioso: esattamente come si vede dalle foto, pulitissimo e molto accogliente. Si trova ai bordi del paese : a 10 minuti a piedi dalle terme e a 5 minuti da un piccolo supermercato. Si sente solo il gorgoglio del torrente vicino e il canto degli uccelli. Insomma è la soluzione giusta per chi cerca la perfezione. Grazie infinite a Cinzia e Claudio

Soggiornare da Cinzia e Claudio è davvero piacevole. La casetta è in un posto magnifico, davanti si vedono delle colline verdi che rallegrano gli occhi e si sente il rumore del ruscello. la casa è accogliente e funzionale, con tutto quello che occorre. la posizione è strategica , si può andare verso il mare o verso le città d'arte in circa mezz'ora. e Cinzia e Claudio sono due persone molto accoglienti, ti senti come uno di famiglia e sono super disponibili!!

Il nostro soggiorno nella "Casa di nonna Rosa" non avrebbe potuto andare meglio. L'appartamento è molto carino, pulito e provvisto di tutto il necessario. La notte si sentono solo le cicale e l'acqua del ruscello, la vista è splendida ed è molto riposante essere circondati dal verde del giardino e dell'orto. Cinzia, Claudio e la loro famiglia sono assolutamente ospitali ed accoglienti. Ci hanno dato indicazioni molto utili per il nostro soggiorno in Toscana e sono stati molto solleciti nel rendere più che piacevole la nostra permanenza presso di loro. La casa inoltre si trova molto vicina al centro di Casciana, raggiungibile a piedi in pochi minuti. Il paese è curato e tranquillo e ha il pregio di essere immerso nella stupenda campagna pisana e di collocarsi a poca distanza da Pisa, Livorno e dalle località balneari della costa. Insomma...consigliatissimo(URL HIDDEN)

Die Casa Julia war unsere erste Buchung mit airbnb und wir wurden nicht enttäuscht! In einem kleinen Dorf auf einem Berg gelegen fanden wir hier die Stille und Frieden, den wir gesucht hatten. Francesco und seine Frau Julia haben uns mit offenen Armen und typischer italienischer Gastfreundschaft empfangen, vielen Dank dafür! So konnten wir eine wunderschöne Woche bei bestem Herbstwetter in der Toskana genießen, die uns allen noch lange in Erinnerung bleiben wird.

We were welcomed very warmly by Julia and Francesco. We felt right away at home. And Francesco explained the best way to come to their house (narrow streets in this Italien village - Rivalto).

Casa Julia is a perfect old country place to stay in, situated in a beautiful little mountain village in the middle of Toscanian hills. The view over the hills is absolutely amazing and the village itself is very charming. The hosts, Julia and Francesco are wonderful, very helpful and willing to give information. A good place to stay!

Our party consisted of 3 adults and 1 large dog. Our 1st question was "are you OK with a large dog"? Julia was actually nervous of our dog and asked us to muzzle him or keep him on a lead because of the children next door. Children weren't bothered by the dog! Positive note for dog owners: there's a large open space to exercise dogs at the top of the road opposite the villa. The house is in lovely, small mountain village in a great location, very quiet and pretty close to main attractions (but you'll need a car). It is VERY basic though and nothing was provided (other than 1 toilet roll, old towels, linens, etc). You'll need to take everything with you (even basics like salt and pepper). The garden is lovely with plenty of shade but it is by no means private as the owners live above the apartment (you can hear them talking, etc) and there's an access road alongside the garden which is not secure if you have children or pets running about. There are lots of stray cats about. And a plethora of biting insects so take protection. All the kitchen utensils provided are very old (broken handles on saucepans) and there's very little in the way of cutlery, baking trays. All very dated. We weren't given any guidance on where to leave rubbish or re-cycling. Bed linen and towels were old. We were there 9 nights and weren't offered a change of linens. Double bed was sprung mattress and not the most comfortable. Pillows old and lumpy. No curtains in second bedroom so sun rising woke our friend up every morning! The wardrobe in the main bedroom had shelves inside so there was no where to hang clothes, second bedroom had hangers on the wall but no wardrobe. Second bedroom needs re-wiring as power points couldn't be used. There are 3 steep steps from this room. There is no comfortable sofa to hang out on should the weather be poor (we were stuck inside during a big storm on one day). Pool: water is clean but pool itself needs refurbishing. If you have children, there's no guard rail and be aware of the not obvious, dangerous pipe sticking out of the wall under the water level. Sun-loungers were old and uncomfortable (1 was ripped so couldn't use). I would not recommend this property for older people or more than 3 adults. There's 1 small shower cubicle in the same room as the toilet, washing machine, hand basin and bidet (no plug in bidet)! For a couple or small family it would be fine but basic. The final price we were charged was more than the advertised rate with no explanation as to why or how they worked out the amounts. The owners spoke no English at all so this became difficult at times as we spoke no Italian!

Casa Julia was the perfect getaway to start a trip under the Tuscan sun. Julia and Fancesco where brilliant hosts, who answered all our questions with a smile. The house is very charming. We had a wonderful week in Casa Julia. We would go there again anytime. Thank you for the five minutes ;-) Arrivederci!

Julia und Francesco sind sehr freundliche und herzliche Gastgeber. Ihr Haus liegt in einem sehr kleinen Dorf auf einem Berg. Man hat einen fantastischen Blick über die toskanische Landschaft und eine herrliche Ruhe. Die Einrichtung des Hauses ist eher schlicht, aber vollkommen ausreichend. Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit und haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

We had an excellent holiday at Casa Julia! Nice, authentic apartment, wonderful view, beautiful garden with pool and kind hospitality. Rivalto is perfect village for a calm vacation, you are very close to the famous cities and also to the see. I can only recommend for Everyone! Thank you again Francesco! Éda

Julia & Francesco were wonderful hosts. They received us warmly and we directly felt welcome. Any questions we had they answered with patience, even if we had some communication problems but day by day we learned some new italian words :). We enjoyed our time very much. It is a beautiful place with many opportunities to do and to explore. I highly recommend it. Many Thanks !!

Claudia è molto disponibile e gentile! Ha reso il nostro soggiorno molto speciale e ci ha saputo consigliare e aiutare molto bene!

Un posto fantastico immerso nelle colline toscane dove si respira un clima di semplicità e tranquillità! Camera perfetta, pulita e dotata di tutti i confort; colazione in giardino (vista la stagione) buona e abbondante. Ottima anche l'accoglienza da parte degli Host che si sono sempre dimostrati disponibili anche a consigliarci cosa fare nei dintorni. Super consigliato!

I absolutely recommend staying at WhataboutPisa if you are looking for a quiet place with natural surroundings. The house is beautifully furnished and so was our room. Having breakfast outside while enjoying the beautiful views of the Tuscan countryside was especially great. Claudia and Patricia were very nice and helpful giving us recommendations and directions.

We had a wonderful stay in the house of patrizia. Patrizia and her husband were very welcomming and helpfull.The room was perfect with a nice decoration. The breakfast was delicious. We feel like at home. Unfortunatly, we stay only one day and it was to short. But if we do another travel in toscany in the future, we will come back there.

.

A cosy independent apartment on a beautiful property next to the fields and meadows. Loved the white embroidered sheets! Isak's wife was kind enough to wait for us on the first day when we were late and was super nice and helpful throughout our stay. It was a great place to stay and I absolutely recommend it.

We just love it :)

Julie was a wonderful and very nice host. The place has a great location at the top of the village with awesome view from the hill. Very quiet all day without any car noise. The apartment is nice and clean with all the necessary equipment. We definitely recommend to stay here and we would return with no hesitation. Thanks Julie :)

We have had a great time at Michael's house. He shared his knowledge about places to visit and restaurants to go. The place is very peaceful and beautiful. Our only regret : we spent only 3 days at Collemontanino :)

Isak and his family are great hosts and their place is the perfect location to get around northern Toscana by car. The accommodation is nice, cosy and the kitchen has everything you need. The pizzeria down the road is worth a visit !

Venons de passer une semaine à Collemontanino. Petit appartement tout à fait fonctionnel pour deux. C'est un havre de paix, très reposant, idéalement situé pour visiter les célèbres cités Toscanes. L'internet n'était pas au top mais le nécessaire sera fait d'ici peu pour améliorer la qualité. Nos hôtes étaient charmants, pas avares de conseils pour faire de votre séjour une réussite !

Isak and his beautiful family have a lovely place! It's cosy, full-equipped and we loved the yard-for-chilling, hill-top sunsets, even the very friendly Chief (Golden Retrever)! Kudos also to Isak, for cracking his head on the last minute hiccups the wireless connection gave us on our first night there. You'll love it for a feel of some tuscany hill-top living :)

Michael greeted us warmly. At the beginning he gave us a lot of useful and interesting tips for excursions, restaurants and told us many things about the region. Furthermore we found manifold information materials. The property is located in a really beautiful environment. Everything was clean and we found everything we needed. Michael always made sure that we didn't miss anything. We enjoyed the nice conversations with him and look forward, if we have the chance to come again.

Matteo and his father Brunello have been incredibly nice. We were welcomed upon arrival with a glass of Prosecco and we had the full tour of the house which was very clean and beautiful in an incredible setting in a small town of Tuscany. The house is a block away from a delightful natural thermal bath for swimming and health. They recommended great restaurants and places to visit. The rooms are spacious with beautiful sheets. We had several fabulous meals on the front terrace overlooking the gorgeous rolling hills.

I was glad to stay in ancient villa. I have never stayed in such an interesting place. A lot of bedrooms for two families. Owners (Matteo and his father) are really kind. The garden was fascinating! There were a lot of hand-made things which were made more than 100 years ago. Comfortable beds were great! We will be glad if piano could work well because we had two people who could play it.

Molto disponibile

L'appartamento è delizioso, confortevole, molto ben tenuto. L'accoglienza calda e amicale. Posizione perfetta, nel centro del paese rilassante e bellissimo e di fronte alla fantastica piscina termale. Le serate sul terrazzo, nel silenzio delle colline toscane, è un toccasana per qualsiasi stanchezza accumulata nella vita quotidiana. Ci ritorneremo e lo consiglieremo

We stayed at Licia's small studio for two nights and were pleasantly surprised by the modern interior! Shower is quite small but the studio was very clean and has all the equipement in the kitchen you need. There's a television and an airco who works very well. You have two gigantic terraces which are totally yours to use. You can see the thermes when you stand on the upper terrace. We stayed in july, so it was extremely hot and we couldn't really use the terrace overday because of the heat, but at the evening we were pretty happy with it. You can park your car in front of the door for one hour for free, but two streets away there's a free parking. We didn't saw Licia but we saw her sister (or friend?) to hand over the keys. She was really helpful about telling us more about the surroundings and she gave us lots of tips to visit some nice places.

Everything about our stay here has been wonderful! The apartment is neat and spacious and just a few steps away from the entrance to the Termes. It also has a nice balcony that we enjoyed during our stay (yep, mid-December, +11C!). The hosts have been wonderful and waited patiently for us even though we arrived an hour later after getting lost on a highway. The check out was a breeze as well. We also saw them a few other times during the week and they always asked how was our stay, if we needed anything else, and how we enjoyed Tuscany overall. I would highly recommend the place to everyone!
