A Memorable Stay
Review Submitted: January 24, 2010
Date of Stay: December 2009
Our family of 4 including 2 hard to impress teenagers, spent 5 nights at Il Tramonto before Christmas during the burst of severe and icy weather which left Northern Europe and Tuscany under several inches of snow, and the road up and down from the house, not readily passable without snow chains. However owner Jackie provided invaluable assistance, and of our 5 weeks of travel in Europe staying in some great places, our family all agrees that Il Tramonto was our most special and memorable place to stay.
The house is large, full of character and comfort, and most important given that it was –9 degrees outside at 10am one day – cosy for a winter stay. It was also clean and very well equipped. We spent many relaxing hours in front of a lovely open fire with a large stock of chopped wood just outside the door, and plenty of books and other materials available inside.
The position is magnificent, and the views and walks very lovely. Given the snow, we didn’t see as much of the area as planned, but had more time to enjoy the house, relax and build snowmen in the garden!
Highly recommended
