Il Palasso

Villa “Cima alla Serra” is a delightful house on 2 floors built by my great-great-grandfather in 1837 for hunting in the nearby forest. Today the villa is an exclusive place to stay with absolute privacy in the wonderful Tuscan countryside used by my family and by few guests.
The forest still belongs to our family and starts from the rear of the villa and arrives to the top of the mountain.
The building is restored respecting the original aspect of the house, using as much as possible materials and ancient furniture of the Tuscan tradition.
Water is collected from a source naturally coming out from the mountain and the house is surrounded by a lot of different kind of trees.
From the villa, placed out of the village and in high position, you can see a very spectacular panorama. The location is excellent to reach the most important art city of Italy (Firenze, Volterra, San Gimignano, Pisa, Lucca, Siena) and the sea side (Versilia coast, Tirrenia).

    “Das Haus liegt in einer herrlichen Panoramalage, ist gut renoviert und man fühlt sich in das letzte Jahrhundert versetzt, hat aber trotzdem den Komfort von heute.
    Die Küchenutensilien wie Töpfe, Geschirr, Messer etc. sind reichlich vorhanden.
    Ebenso Gartenmöbel und ein Sonnenschirm.
    Bei unserem Eintreffen hatte Federico, der Vermieter als Erstausstattung Wasser, Küchenrolle und auch T-Papier für uns bereitgestellt. Von den Kirschbäumen im Garten durften wir uns bedienen und den herrlichen Kräutern, bekamen auch Salat aus dem Garten geschenkt. Wir haben den Urlaub mit unserer Tochter und unserem Hund sehr genossen. TV brauchen wir im Urlaub nicht, hat uns nicht gefehlt. Konnten durch das WLAN trotzdem auf dem laufenden bleiben. Auf den Bildern nicht ganz so gut zu erkennen, ist die Ferienanlage nebenan, aber keine große oder laute. Ist super geeignet um Touren zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten zu machen. Gute Wanderwege in unmittelbarer Nähe der Hausauffahrt, wo unser junger Hund Theo frei laufen konnte, oder einfach nur zum entspannen. Bettdecken waren so gut wie Neu. Einziges Manko ist der Boiler im Bad, 1-2 Personen können kurz duschen, muss dann wieder aufheizen. Preis-Leistungsverhältnis war gut, wer die Natur und Ruhe ohne luxuriösen Schnickschnack mag sehr gut. Den Weg durch die Olivenbäume zum Ort haben wir erst am vorletzten Tag entdeckt, eine deutliche Abkürzung, Federico der Vermieter ist bei Fragen behilflich und hat auch eine Broschüre über Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, stattfindende Märkte etc. zusammengestellt. Im Haus sind viele Broschüren und Karten von Ausflugszielen in diversen Sprachen.”

    “Huur het huis niet als je van luxe, de stad en moderne voorzieningen houdt. Maar als je wilt genieten van een van de mooiste uitzichten van Toscane dan is het zeker te overwegen waard. Een huis grotendeels in originele staat. Kortom echt vakantie. Grote kamers en een unieke atmosfeer. Wij zijn al meer dan 1 keer teruggekomen. Je loopt in 20 minuten door de olijfboomgaarden naar het dorp.”

    “Die Anfahrt ist sehr risikoreich. Eine viel zu enge Dusche ist zu wenig für sechs Personen, zumal die Toilette auch dabei ist. Es sind nur 2 Liegestühle und 1 Sonnenschirm vorhanden. Im Wohnzimmer gibt es nicht genügend bequeme Sitzmöglichkeiten, damit sechs Personen einen gemütlichen Abend verbringen können. Zudem kann man nicht im Freien essen, da sehr karg - Holztisch und Bänke- möbiliert. Die Kücheneinrichtung lässt auch zu wünschen übrig, keine Spülmaschine. Das Infomaterial dürfte auch auf den neuesten Stand gebracht werden. Alle Instruktionen - auch mündlich- gibt es nur auf englisch. 3x die Woche darf -muss- man den Müll 500 m weit nach unten bringen.”

    Comment from property owner :
    “Good morning Sirs,
    I'm sorry that you didnt' enjoy my house.
    The house is very old and in open country: that's the reason why the road is not a highway but a country road that passes through the olive groves.
    I use this road also with a van when we pick olives but I agree that for someone it could be considered narrow.
    The house is very old and that's also the reason why the bathroom is not too large. I made it new but I was forced by local law about conservation of ancient house to use a limited space.
    But I see that these aspects could be relevant for for my future guests so I'm adding some pictures of the road and of the bathroom.
    For other things in sitting room there are 6 place (4 chairs and a sofa for 2 people) and garden forniture includes one wooden table for 4 people more plastic table for 6 people more 2 small table and other 10 plastic/wood garden chairs.
    All these are in the closet room and guests can use everything. I think that for 6 people it's enough.
    I'm translating all information in french, german and also in italian (thanks for your reporting) and I usually spoke with my guests presenting the area, suggesting museums, places to visit, restaurants, events that they can find in the surround and all the materials that my guest can find at home (guides, brochures, books) could be old but are absolutely correct and useful.
    About kitchen, in our card we say that there is no dishwasher and for kitchen tools no one has ever asked anything but I'm open to add everything our guests need. Just let me know.
    For garbage: I know, it's not the best to make 87mt (I measure yesterday) 3 times a week to take out the trash but that's the way we recycle in our country and we need to observe the local regulation.”
