Francesco and Marina could not have been more welcoming and friendly. They really made us feel at home, and their cookery lesson was superb. We even took part in their annual grape harvest!
The Villa is ideally located for country walks, visits to nearby villages and towns. It is a really tranquil setting, away from the city bustle, for those that like that sort of holiday. There are good restuarants and other shopping facilities nearby. |

Podere Il Doccio was perfect for our family of four--us & 2 teenagers! The area is just breathtaking, and the villa was so welcoming & comfortable when we returned from a busy day exploring the sites of Italy. The location is wonderful because it is peaceful, quiet, and relaxing, yet convenient to the autostrada and a train station. It truly was our home away from home during our vacation! It was so nice to come back and relax on the terrace, under the stars, with a delicious glass of Franceso & Marina's wine!
Owners Francesco & Marina are most helpful, and provided us with wonderful recommendations for area restaurants, markets, and driving directions! This was a vacation we will not forget, and we hope to return again someday.
And Abby & Lucia.....we can't thank you enough for your prompt and
helpful service. You answered all of our questions, and we found
everything just as you had described/suggested! We would recommend
your service to anyone who is looking to rent a property in Italy.
We hope to do business with you again in the future.
The only "downside" to the villa, however, is the very long, bumpy, and partially unpaved driveway to the property....takes getting used to after driving up & down several times!

It is centrally located to see many sites in the Tuscany area. The family at the property couldn't be nicer and they speak excellent english. Having a cooking lesson and spending the evening with the family was on the top of our highlights of the trip. It was hard to find a great meal after the one we had with them. Marina is an excellent cook and the family is fantastic! |

Our stay at Podere Il Doccio was very enjoyable -- quiet location away from public roads, but close to many Tuscan attractions (easy to visit Florence by train, and easy drives to Cortona, Sienna, Assisi, etc.) Situated in beautiful Tuscan countryside (vineyards, olive groves, etc.), close to some nice mountain areas.
Marina and Francesco were wonderful hosts -- a highlight of our trip to Italy was Marina's cooking class, and especially the ensuing dinner with their family (complete with wine, olive oil and grappa that they had produced.) Very charming people, very helpful and friendly!
The nearby towns offer a number of nice Tuscan restaurants -- Osteria del Acqualina (very close by) is truely outstanding, and Ostorio Il Canto del Maggio (nearby in Penne) is also excellent. Il Solito Posto in Terranuova was good as well.
In the interests of "truth in advertising", it should be noted that if your ideal is a plush villa with a panoramic view over the Tuscan countryside, Podere Il Doccio may not be for you. It is a rustic (but nicely remodeled and furnished) old house located about a km down a one-lane gravel road, in a deep valley on a small stream. It has a very nice setting in the midst of a wooded area, adjacent to a small vineyard, and very quiet and peaceful - but no "long" view. |

Beautiful area with some great small villages nearby and some scenic drives. The property owners were hard to track down to ask questions and get help from. Kitchen/Dining area very small and the bed is uncomfortable. |

Without a doubt the villa makes for an excellent break, where one can do as much or as little as you'd like. So good are the facilities at the property, you could spend a week by the pool, being completely lazy. Alternatively, with the great location, you can really use the area and explore all around. You really can make of the break what you want. |

Francesco and Marina are the most talented and gracious hosts. They went out of their was to help with travel, directions and suggestions. The cooking class and dinner was an unexpected highlight; the Il Doccio chianti a treat. We will return (but not in July)! |

Had a lovely relaxing week at Podere Il Doccio. Casa Ocra was perfect for our family of four with the extensive balcony facilitating hours of eveving enjoyment. The poool area is great for families with space for other activities such as frizbee or football in addition to the great swimming facilities. |

What a beautiful property set in an amazing environment, the sort of place you never want to leave. We only had a week and this definitely wasn't long enough! We went with friends and didn't go out in the evenings as had two very young children with us, instead we made the most of the shared bbq facilities, eating on the veranda and drinking the farms chianti - heaven! The owners were lovely and if we weren't in their gorgeous pool we were out visiting nearby cities such as Florence and Sienna. A very good time was had! |

The villa was quiet, clean and authentic - and exceeded our expectations. The main areas we wished to visit were all within driving distance. The area was very pretty with the hills as a backdrop and very quiet and peaceful |

Once again we had a wonderful two week holiday at Il Doccio. This is now the third two week holiday we have had at this beautiful place over the past five years. Marina, Francesco and family made us most welcome and despite the fact we have now visited three times, we have found new places to visit. Francesco has been extremely helpful in advising us of where to go and what to see.
Il Doccio is well placed to visit Sienna, Florence, and Arezzo. We also have had great pleasure walking in the hills and and Frecesco has advised us how to drive high into the hills (several thousand feet) along the white roads. We have walked along the ridges many times and particularly at the cross and communication station. We were amazed to find wild horses and pure white cattle at the summit.The views are amazing.
We really did enjoy the Tuscan cooking lessons run by Marina. It was great to prepare a truely Italian meal for several hours and then enjoy eating it under the stars with with Marina and Francesco. All washed down with red wine produced from their vinyard. The swimming pool at Il Doccio is simply glorious and each time we have visited we went for a swim before breakfast and on returning from visits to the hills and towns.
Francesco, Marina and family are really lovely people and their vinyard at Il Doccio is simply glorious. We have enjoyed every minute of the time we have spent at this beautiful place.
