Podere Casarotta

Absolutely perfect experience from start to finish! Beautiful setting, excellent service, and unforgettable memories. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a special getaway. The view from the terrace is great and the pool area is great.

From the moment you arrive via the small path 500 meters up in the Tuscany hills, you step into a complete relaxing world. This lovely old mansion is set up in rebuild apartments where the exterior and interior are well kept. Lovely gardens and the best view on the area. Given the perfectly renovated pool with most comfortable sunbeds and the great help & assistance by Simone, this place you have to vist for at least a week relaxing holiday!

This property exceeded our expectations for a fun week with family and friends. An absolutely beautiful, tranquil location, the necessary amenities, a fabulous pool, and the super hospitality of property manager, Simone, who also prepared two excellent meals for our group. Though a country property, we easily made excursions to Florence and to Chianti wine country ( arranged by Simone who was well informed and well prepared to respond to all of our inquiries). We certainly hope to return for a future stay! Thanks, Simone for your attentive care to guests and property!

Myself and my wife (from India) joined our son and his fiancee(from the US) and other family members and friends @ this beautiful villa apartments villa complex @ Malva, Tuscany for a brief stay of more than about a week. The apartments were looking cozy. The entire resort complex is situated on the slope of a hillock surrounded by serene greenery and overlooking beautiful views of tiny villages at the downhills. The most attractive aspect of the resort was that one could see the clear blue sky over our head and could try counting the stars and the clear lit moon in the nights and also the rising sun in the morning over the hill top. The villa has a cozy kitchen room with all the required cooking equipment and serving amenities. We had to prepare our food by ourselves while on one or two days the villa resort caretaker Simhone opted cooking for our groups serving us delicious Tuscany fame dishes. Perhaps we are both vegetarian and had only very few options. All the apartments had attached bathrooms with 24x7 hot water supply and a double cot and few chairs / sofas for sitting or relaxing. The road leading to the villa resort was perhaps a little narrow to drive through. Though the resort may not be finding interest for the tourists from India and those who come to just rest and relax due to the absence of ready boarding arrangements availability either in their kitchen or in the nearby surrounding areas. This is a major drawback. Another drawback aspect is non-availability of every day bed linen changing facility, room cleaning, providing the toiletries periodically. Otherwise a nice place to stay and enjoy nature's beauty in many respects.

From the moment we arrived on,They pressure you to leave a 5 star review. I now understand why their reviews were so good :( Beds are beyond awful!!!! Very old and smelly! The place gets 1 star because it was clean.
