We decided to book with Anna and the Villa because my husband (David Craik Photography!) was photographing a wedding very close by at Villa Le Fontanelle.
From the moment we arrived (late at night) to the moment that we left, Anna was like family. There was honestly nothing more she could have done to make us feel welcome, safe and cared for at all times.
We travelled with our 14 month old baby and Anna had thought of everything that we could possibly need for our baby in case we had forgotten anything.
As we were travelling with our baby, we put her to bed early and therefore couldn’t go out for meals, however this was a complete blessing because we got to enjoy the meals cooked by Anna every single night! The food was simply incredible. We consider ourselves ‘foodies’ and to be honest, we have never ever had home cooking like it. From fish, to rabbit, every single part of every dish was top “rustic” restaurant standard. So if you go, make sure you sample her cooking as much as possible!
The villa itself was stylish, clean and tidy and very safe. The pool was cool, but refreshing, and clean. We were very happy staying there.
One thing which has been mentioned in other reviews, and also by Anna herself, are the mosquitos. There were lots of them (September) and they didn’t care if it was night or day. They also seemed to take no notice of our mosquito repellent! However ultimately we just got bitten and dealt with it. So take strong repellent and be prepared to use it every day.
This shouldn’t stop you staying at Anna’s villa whatsoever though, as it was utterly wonderful and a truly authentic Tuscan experience. We’ll be telling all of our friends to go!
