we truly enjoyed our stay at the villa, ir really lived up to all the stunning pictures we had viewed. The setting is completely private, the grounds are amazing, and waking up to shirping birds is a wonderful experience. The villa IS very remote, up about 2 miles of gravel and dirt road, but the drive is worth it. The only things we found lacking are dishes, glassware, wine glasses, flatware and serving pieces in the kitchen. Additionally, the lighting is bad so we should probably have asked them to replace all the light bulbs that were out, how to work all the chandeliers and more lamps perhaps, also there are not screens on the windows in some bedrooms. Brita was very helpful and also though they charge extra for heat, it was worth it and not that expensive, less than 25 bucks a day! enjoy!!
Overall, this was a wonderful place to stay for our week on the Amalfi Coast. The property is very nice with an amazing view of the sea. The surrounding environment is full of olive trees, which enhances the beauty. The owners, a wonderful older Italian couple that harvests the olives from those trees, were so nice to us (and completely unobtrusive - and don't expect English!) - they brought us fresh olive oil from their harvest, and great-tasting fresh cut tomatoes from their garden when we first arrived. The only things to be aware of are the following: you definately need a car to stay here as it is a little off the beaten track (not that bad, but you'll want to be able to drive in and out). The drive between the Lizard and the small town of Torca up above is not for a timid driver (really tight spots/turns, etc.) The very nice two-story house with great grounds had all the basic stuff you'd need, but ask for extra towels make sure you bring the staples of food items like coffee, etc. The addl charges for energy usage are not cheap so depending upon what time of year you're there, be mindful of A/C or heat use. We used the washing machine a few times and apparently that wasn't cheap along with using the gas stove, etc. We ended up paying an extra $%150, although the rental fee in mid-October was very reasonable. If you don't mind being somewhere quieter, and more authentic (we never do) with a smashing view and very nice accommodations - the Lizard could be the ticket for you.
Perfect location to explore Tuscany - particularly the Chianti region.
Well equipped kitchen
Beautiful scenic grounds
Shower was unpredictable and toilet plumbing ran continuously & was noisy throughout the night
Renters be advised that in addition to the advertised cost you will pay for gas usage when you leave which is "expensive gas" we paid 30 euros and only ran the heating for half an evening
Functional fire place looked nice but it was unusable as no kindling was provided.
[Owner counter comment] We have checked the shower and toilet plumbing, all is functioning fine. We always check everything when guests arrive and when they go away, but we never had noise in the bathroom. We suppose it was a momentary thing due to the floating which maybe had moved and then placed itself back in place.
We had been very clear on the consumption and the cost of LPG and for a daily us of the heating we indicated a variable amount up to a maximum of € 50. We did the reading of the meter and showed it to the guests. For a consumption of 9 mc I have received a bill of € 45,92 , so € 30 for 6 mc seems a fair amount to us.
There sure are all types of firewood in and around the house but one also needs the skill of starting a fire.
Casa Turchesa is in a wonderful location. The views are lovely. The house is spacious and it is a short walk into Greve with good shops, restaurants and market.Monica is very helpful. The house could do with a couple of comfortable armchairs for the evening time. Overall a great base for this part of Tuscany.
Our stay was everything we had hoped for in a villa in Tuscany. Great base for days trips round the region. Both apartments have wonderful decorative touches combining old world with modern convinces. The owners were friendly and inviting,the dinner they prepare for all the guests was wonderful. We will definitely come again
Very nice views. Missing usual things as sugar, salt, tea. Fireplace not connected yet. Hard to comunicate with ms Maria, speaks just Italian and not willing to call for help. However, owners are really nice and honest.
Haben uns in der Unterkunft Podere Degli Olivi sehr wohl gefühlt, würden jederzeit dort wieder Urlaub machen.
