Guest Reviews
- Giuseppe (6/5): Non adatto ad una famiglia con due bambini … - La struttura molto particolare , per chi piace vivere isolato Bisogna essere più chiari sulla posizione , fuori dal mondo … strada sterrata piena di buche è buia … telefono che non prende e Wi-Fi debolissimo. Piscina coperta non utilizzabile , mancanza di zanzariere , porta ingresso … dire sufficiente per non tornare
- Simone (8/5): -
- Sara (8/5): Relax e tranquillità assicurata - La struttura è immersa nel verde , spazi esterni ben curati , la piscina sempre pulita .
La tranquillità e la pace che circonda la tenuta fa da cornice . Una struttura pet friendely Dalla strada principale per arrivare alla tenuta si scende per una strada un po’ dissestata e un po’ buia .
- Franziska (10/5): - Die Lage ist schön ruhig und in mitten der Natur- unweit des Thermalbäder ( frühzeitig reservieren)
Schöne Wohnung auf 3 Stockwerken. Mit Pool sehr gepflegt.
- Sandy (9/5): - Sehr schöne gepflegte Unterkunft. Einzig die abenteuerliche Zufahrt gibt einen Punktabzug.
- michele (8/5): Carina - Gli esterni molto grandi , tenuti e puliti La posizione complessa da raggiungere con la pioggia e il bagno troppo piccolo
- Susanne (9/5): -
- Olivia (10/5): Amazing place to relax in nature and unwind - The pool was lovely, the comfortable apartments are surrounded by beautiful woods with nature all around (we even saw a stag). It is cool and very calm and peaceful.
- Krystyna (9/5): Задоволені відпочинком який поєднав нас з природою - Так, дуже сподобалось що є дві ванни, досить просторі спальні кімнати, гостинна з круглим столом
Є всі зручності для приготування сніданку чи вечері. А також сподобалось що є столик знадвору Проблеми з інтернетом та мережею
- Krisztian (10/5): -
- Brandon (10/5): A real Italian home feel in an enchanted forest. - This place was marvelous! Located very near Sassetta centro but still nestled enough in the woods to give a magical and solitary experience. The all natural approach to maintaining the grounds added to the overall sense of ease and cleanliness. Marina, the host was special! I’ll miss her. She greeted my mother and I with open arms and a genuine warmth, that after a long few days of travel was very refreshing. We felt pampered from minute 1. Coming from the hustle and bustle of Rome, Pian Delle More allowed us to unwind and decompress in a way totally unexpected and completely welcomed. I don’t often travel to the same place twice, but this is one such place that would make an exception!!
- Lisa (10/5): Heavenly.. - Our stay at Pian Delle more was absolutely heavenly.. from the magnificence of the Tuscan hillsides to the birdsong all day long, the swifts swooping down to drink from the wonderful swimming pool and the much appreciated quiet.. I would definitely come back.. There was absolutely nothing that we didn’t like..
- Darkerwaters (10/5): Tuscan Tranquility - We had the pleasure of staying in la Ginestre for 10 nights in August. Upon arrival we were greeted by one of Lucia's colleagues who showed us around the house and grounds. We were given a substantial file with all the local information in which included all of the local spas, markets, beaches and local wooden toy makers!!
We traveled down with our 18 moth and 6 year old daughter and the house was perfect. With a garden to the front and rear meticulously maintained daily by the gardner and a child friendly pool that is also cleaned every morning, we couldn't have asked for more. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you will need to make the basics with a washing machine available in Lucia's office should you need to wash anything. The houses were spotless when we arrived and a lot of care and attention had been given to the decor. Beautiful pieces of furniture and art work adorn the rooms both upstairs and down. The beds are rather firm and can be made up into singles or put together prior to arrival. The pool is surrounded by a low fence meaning the children can play in the garden area to the front with out the worry of them wondering in to the pool area. The pool is also not heated. it can be chilly when you first get in but you soon acclimatise and it becomes a must after lying around in the sun. A must when you're here with children is a list to Stuarts toy work shop. He is a Scottish fellow and makes the most amazing wooden toys for children. His house is a short walk away and is very welcoming.
The location of Pian delle More is somewhat remote in the country. You are however only a 5 minute drive from Sassetta. There you will find a bank with cash point, a pizza restaurant as well as more formal restaurants, a pharmacy and a small rural food shop selling the essentials (the quality is amazing though and selection better than any at home). Further afield back in Donoratico and adjacent to the SS1 motorway you will find a COOP supermarket and a Penny Market. The later being smaller but still with a great selection. If you are driving in by car from one of the local airports or on a road trip, we'd recommend stopping at one of these before you arrive. Hindsight is a wonderful thing when the shops are a 25 minute drive back down a winding road!!
Being in the countryside also means you are susceptible to midges and mosquitos. They are around and they will bite if you aren't covered up in the evening or have repellent applied. Sadly I forgot one evening and was a Smorgasbord for them. The houses and flats all have mesh on the window so you can keep them wide open in the night and not worry about them coming in. You might have to do the usual evening hunt for any that slipped in but we were lucky there.
All in all we had a wonderful time here. We would recommend this place to anyone.
- mamore01 (8/5): Little paradise in the forest - We have spent 3 nights at Pian delle More and were really happy there. When you arrive the owners show you your flat and spent at least 30 minutes with you explaining you the area you are in and all the possible trips and sights to explore (never had this in any 4 star hotel!!!). Additionally you get a map with all hiking, cycle, etc. map as well as a booklet with all relevant information such as restaurants, shops, information on some towns and more. They also help you organising your trip(s) if needed and do your restaurant reservations.
Again this is a service i have never experienced in any other hotel.
Our flat (rosmarino or leccio, can't remember) was very big and the kitchen was well furnished to easily cook a dinner (which we did one night). The other furniture was as you would expect in an agriturismo but everything serves the purpose really.
The flat as well as the pool and garden area were super clean. Of course you should not forget that you are in the middle of a forest hence you will always have some leaves in your private garden but i guess this is ok if you choose to spend your holidays in an agriturismo.
I really enjoyed the time at Pian delle More and regret i didn't have more time to spend in this area which offers a lot to see!
From my perspective the only thing i have missed are fly screens (zanzariere) at the doors and windows as you can't just leave the window open in the middle of the forest without it. Considering that most of us don't know how it is to live in pure nature I believe this would be an added value to let you feel more comfortable.
Even though there weren't any fly screens i had a proper and deep sleep which is amazing considering that i am so scared of everything which has more than 4 legs:)
It's really amazing what they have created at Pian delle More so would for sure go there again!
- missizl (10/5): Lovely place in Tuscany - We stayed for two weeks with our two children, aged 18 months and 5 years, in the apartment "La Torretta". It is a really nice house, furnished with great taste and equipped with everything we needed, surrounded by a large garden. Due to the many stairs (inside and outside) wasn't quite suited for a relaxed vacation with our 18 month old son, who's very interested in stairs but cannot climb them on his own yet, as under these circumstances he required a lot of additional supervision. Another minor thing that wasn't quite ideal was that the wi-fi was very weak and sometimes wouldn't work (most likely when too many people were using it). Otherwise however we greatly enjoyed our vacation and appreciated Lucia's and Roberto's hospitality and kindness. In the common area there is a large pool for everyone and a little pool for children, both very clean. In fact the entire property is very well taken care of, and laid out beautifully. We would definitely recommend this property for anyone who's not travelling with a toddler.
- 724kirstenh (10/5): Little paradise - We stayed at Pian delle more for 5 nights. The appartement was really great and everything was thought of. Our 3 months old son had his own little baby bed and even an high chair. We could borrow a parasol for the beach. The swimmingpool and garden were very well kept and the family was nice and helpfull. When we had problems with our car just before leaving, they helped us find a solution. We recommend Pian delle More to everyone who is looking for a quiet place close to all major tourist attractions in the area.
- 142yew (8/5): Nice place - We stayed there for a week and its a very nice place in the mountains of tuscany. Our daugher (22 months old) enjoyed it a lot because she could safely walk and play outside in their beautiful garden without us and could also find other kinds to play with. But its not a crowded noisy kids-place where we could find enough rest to relax. So we found it a very nice family trip. The beach is about 30 minutes and the next big supermarket is 20 mintues away with the car and around Sassetta there are some nice villages to visit.
- Lorella72 (10/5): Paradise in Tuscany - I'm delighted about my stay in Pian delle More in Sassetta. The apartment was amazing and the basket breakfast in the morning delicious. Imagine to open the door with your pj and just collect your basket with warm coffe and all the croissants....the swimming pool is just few metres and the park all around the property is wonderful.
- AlexanderL457 (8/5): Heerlijk plekje in rustiger deel Toscane - For us the 2nd time in Pian delle More, first time in summer, with all the houses occupied. Perfect combination of rest and possibilities for the children to play with each other in and around the pool. Great, not to crowded beaches in 20-30 minutes. Kitchen could be better equipped. Pity there was no BBQ (but there were utensils though!). Free WiFi, but unfortunately only outside the house. Big chance Lucia and her husband (and ofcourse their cute dog Mia!) wille see us a third time!
- tuscany2012187323 (10/5): Everything you need in springtime! - We enjoyed two weeks of kindness and hospitality at this wonderful place. We loved the silence in the nice garden, our exquisite decorated house with all stuff you need. My son couldn't get enough of the dogs Pino and Mia as well as cat Fuffi. Great deal for a Berlin-city-boy!
Lucia managed all our wishes and prepared a wonderful breakfast for a good start of the day.
We remind these fantastic days very often and will return very soon!
Many thanks to Lucia and her team!
M.+ M. from Berlin
- cambs2011 (10/5): Great in so many ways! - We stayed here for a few days in April and wish we could have stayed longer. Here's why Pian delle More is great:
-High quality accommodation. Lovely furniture, great beds, linens, kitchen equipment, etc. It doesn't feel like someone just tossed in some stuff into an apartment, there was a great deal of thought about function and quality. It feels like you are staying in a well-equiped, comfortable home. The place is spotless, too. After staying in less-than-clean and worn out places, Pian delle More was a dream.
-Kind, helpful and considerate hosts. Lucia makes this place amazing. She is very helpful to offer suggestions and to help book restaurants, etc. She listens to what you'd like to do and what your interests are and then offers so many great suggestions.
-Location, location - it's great! The location is quiet and relaxing, but close to many options. If you think you can walk to Sienna from this place, then this isn't the best place for you. If you're into cycling, I don't think you could ask for a better location. Easy access to quiet, less-traveled roads and to the very popular cycling routes. We've cycled through many popular areas in Europe -- and this was probably one of the best bases to cycle from every day.
We hope to return one day -- it's rare you find such a great combination of quality, comfort in a great location with great hosts. Stop searching and just book your stay here!
- MJOTITA (10/5): A PEACIFUL & BEAUTIFUL PLACE IN THE TUSCANY - If you want to enjoy the Tuscany and at the same time being in a nice place to rest in the country, you should go there. A exquisite decoration, two swimming pools and a nice garden make of these place the ideal villa to enjoy the holydays.
- melli3004 (10/5): A wonderful week - We had a Great stay at a wonderful Place. Thank you. We got excellent advices for our stay.
- VvdH (8/5): Very nice place in quiet location - Very nice decorated and well equiped medium sized, clean house. The owners are very anxious to keep everything nice and proper. Which is a good thing, but sometimes went too far (f.e. no plastic toys in swimmingpool). Lucia was very helpful with information about things to do and even made reservations for restaurants for us.
- __KP4__ (10/5): Beautiful place to stay in Sassetta - We spent our holiday in Pian delle More one week in the beginning of June. We loved the place very much. It is stylish, clean, cozy, quiet and just so beautiful place with cute garden and a pool. The location is in a mountain village Sassetta with wonderful surroundings.
There are about 4 or 5 apartments, we staid in La Michelle. In the apartment we found all we needed for our stay, it was just like arriving to your grandparents place to the countryside. Felt so cozy.
The pool in the garden was cooling in hot days. Too sad that during our vacation the weather was not so warm, just wanted to spend more time at the pool. But we got to drive a lot around the Tuscany and spent couple of time in beach which has white sand and is about 20-30 minutes ride from Sassetta. Lucia, the hostess, introduced us the surroundig palces in details: where to go, what to see and where to eat. She was like tourist guide to us.
Our family liked the place and definitely we reccomend the place to them who would like to feel the peaceful life and typical nature of Tuscany.
Greetings from us to Lucia and to her family and to a little dog Mia, who replaced our dog (who we were have to leave home) place during the holiday.
- PenstemonRH (8/5): Beautiful Agriturismo - We stayed here for 2 weeks, from mid-June. Our apartment was 2 bedroom, 1 bath.
Positives:
- Beautiful location, beautiful site. Two very nice pools, one just the right size and depth for a 4 year old. The lawn and landscaping were quite beautiful. There was an outdoor dining area, which we used twice a day. Local clothes washing was possible. There are 3 other apartments, all somewhat larger, but ours was adequate for 2 grandparents, son and 4 year old granddaughter. We enjoyed the other occupants. We did a lot of pool time. There were very nice lounge chairs, and a warm rinse off shower was appreciated, The pools were unheated, but very comfortable while we were there. Our kitchen was finished in a very modern style, with full sized frig and freezer, and lots of cupboard space. We we did a lot of our own cooking. It was very quiet and restful, and the surrounding hills were very beautiful. (If you want a lot of action, it would be a curvy drive away, if you want quiet and rest, this is perfect).
The location was 2 km from Sassetta, a charming village which clings to the hillside. Occupants and shop owners were also charming: even the early am sidewalk coffee drinkers were friendly. Not a touristy place at all.
Negatives:
- Rooms were dark, with inadequate lighting. Only 2 windows, one in the bathroom, the other for the upstairs bedroom. Oh for a couple more windows!
- The upstairs window was not screened - a real problem since there were many flying insects, so we had lots of bites.
- The kitchen was a little odd. Appliances were very modern, but many of the very nice pans were hard to use, since the 2 burner stove could only accommodate one big one at a time. There was excessive cupboard space - we kept forgetting where things were (next time we'll move everything into a couple of cupboards).
- The site is billed as a few minutes from beaches. Actually, I think the closest is at least 20 minutes away. But the beaches are terrific - and worth the drive for sure.
- The owner loaned us a couple of beach umbrellas, which was very nice - but even better would have been beach towels.
- Chris_and_Clare (10/5): Beautiful setting - Pian delle More is a small set of apartments in a beautiful setting surrounded by woodland and hills. Our appartment was immaculately clean and had everything you could need for a self-catering break. The gardens include a lovely pool with loungers and lots of seating areas - perfect for relaxing in the Tuscan sunshine!
Sassetta is a small hamlet, but has a good little shop and butchers for those essential supplies. There are also walks you can go on direct from Pian delle More.
Lucia has lots of information on the local area and will recommend restaurants and activities complete with discounts she has negotiated for her guests! A short drive and you can visit barratti or the local beaches. There are also some fantastic little towns within easy driving distance with marvellous views and fabulous restaurants.
All in all a great stay at the end of our Tuscan adventure.
- B_ackpacker_sSs19 (10/5): Unforgettable place! - The amazing welcoming and the magic of this place have made our New Year's Eve unforgettable. During our stay Lucia perfectly indicated us the best places and restaurants around this area of Tuscany. We recommend this place to whoever dreams about a romantic and relaxing holiday. We hope to go back there really soon!
- grubi01 (10/5): Great place but a little bit distant from Tuscany's main attractions - Great place hidden in the woods. The appartment met our expections. It was exactly as described on the web page. Spacious and clean, kitchen fully equiupped. As we were in the middle of the rural area with neibours far away nights were very calm. You could literally sit down in front of your appartment and listen to crickets and watch the dance of eyebrights.
The owner wery helpful. When we had questions or problems she was always ready to help.
The only inconvinence - the locations. It is a lovely spot but when you plan to see a lot (as we did) you have to be prepared for 2 - 2.5 hours long journeys by car one-way.
- off-and-on70 (10/5): It just couldn't be any better - Pian Delle More was almost everything we could expect from our temporary home for last week in Tuscany. The place is located in the middle of woods between the hills. The property is compact, yet big enough to enjoy the privacy. It has only 8 apartments to rent and as only about half of them were occupied, we almost felt like having our private resort in the middle of Tuscany. Apartments were very tastfully furnished and well equipped - ours (Le Ginestre) left rather the feeling that hosts have left for a week and let us stay in their home. The location is perfect for those who are looking for peaceful and relaxing time away from city-life. Wake up with the cockcrow from the farm farther away, morning swim in the pool, late breakfast on the terrace, endless chirr of grasshoppers... For a day activities 30 minutes in the car took us to the nearby beaches and etruscan sights (Baratti, S.Vincenzo); another 20-30 minutes and you can be in Pisa, San Gimignano, Volterra. And don’t miss the little charming Sassetta itself! All in all we had most enjoyable week. Even our early-teenage kids loved it and you know how hard it is to please those guys...
PS! If you happen to go there (which I strongly recommend), please pass the greetings to Lucia and to our little friend Mia, who will have puppies in October :)
- davepiz (10/5): Phantastic relaxing Holidays! - As we were a couple of times in Tuscany, we made some experiences for instance with different areas( more on seaside vs. country side) as well as north Tuscany vs south which is different too. We stayed in Hotels as well as in appartments, simple ones and more moderno.
At the end of the day this place is one of le loveliest ones we ever stayed. Quiet and situated in the middle of the forrest. We stayed for 2 weeks there and we love it!
The owners of Pian delle More are friendly and very good hosts. They keep everything - the garden, the pool as well as the appartments in a very good condition. Teh appartments are very good equipped.
From Pian delle More we did trips to the coast to Grosseto/Alberese as well as to Siena/Pisa/Lucca/Volterra. But we did as well some "pooldays". It was very relaxing for all of us to start the day with the breakfirst on the terrace and some swimming in the pool. It was something like a recreation time for us to get some engergy for the beach time or to the next city trip. Usually we stay just one time in a appartment because Italy has some many fantastic options. But Pian delle More is so special that we think about our next trip to this lovely place.
There is no doubt about it, that I and my whole family can recommend this place, which gives you so many very good options for Montainbiking, Biking, Jogging, Relaxing, doing short trips to nice Tuscany places, different beaches, culture (e.g. Populonia), good resataurants and last but not least the wine area of Bolgheri.
- Tamaki45 (10/5): Very fantastic Holiday! - We had a fantastic time at Pian delle More. The property is situated in a middle of forest, which gives you an absolutely quiet and relaxing atmosphere, surrounded by the trees, though it is not far away from the beautiful coast. You can go to the beach, wander in the forest or just drive around in an amazing landscape, visiting different medieval villages. However, the apartments, which are beautifully decorated in the Tuscany style, are so comfortable that you almost don’t need to go out at all. The place is so well looked after by the owner, who seemed to have inexhaustible energy to devote himself into the care of the garden and the swimming pool. We realized how hard it is to keep a clean swimming pool for the guests and the lawn, which need to be watered so often to stay green and lovely under the blazing sunshine. Our apartment was simply lovely and very clean. The owners are very helpful and always available on the property, which I found it reassuring, since we, to our shame, do not speak any Italian. Yes, I can recommend the place to anybody, who wants to have a relaxing holiday in Tuscany.
