Old restored stone barn, with private pool and valley views

The house is great and has all the necessities. The property is fenced in so it's ideal for people bringing their dog(s) like we did. The owner, Mrs. Lucia, who lives right next door, is very nice and will assist you with everything you need. We went on trips to Assisi, Anghiari and La Verna which is really close by and has beautiful hikes.

Property was and is rural and had all amenities was clean and tidy we loved it

We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful part of Tuscany, off the beaten track but close to interesting places where you can walk, do 'culture' and eat great food. The restaurant in the village 'Il Refugio' is a must visit - great food and reasonably priced.

Our kids loved swimming in the pool. The accommodation had all the basics, and was good value for money. Thank you Lucia!

The house is in a lovely location with nearby village of Lama nearby and other little villages to explore as well as nice hiking areas. The swimming pool is also nice although a little on the cold side if you have small children. The outside eating area is nice in the garden.

The host Lucia is lovely and has just got the right balance of being around if you need her but mainly respecting your privacy which is great.

The house itself is nice upstairs. However, we found that it was quite dirty with a lot of dust and cobwebs around the whole house and downstairs particularly was pretty dusty and dirty and also felt quite damp as it is in a basement. The downstairs is where the bedrooms and bathroom is and I'm not exaggerating when I say that we dreaded getting into bed at night as it felt dirty and damp. I feel bad about writing this in a review as the host was lovely but I definitely wouldn't come back and wouldn't recommend it. I am not someone that has really high expectations regarding cleanliness and I'm not a particularly tidy person, just in case you thought I was fussy. Both my children had coughs on a night here and I think this is due to the dust. All that the host needs to do to improve her property is hire a cleaner. It was just things like the BBQ was filthy and the previous people who came obviously hadn't cleaned it after using but this should have been checked by the host. It's not pleasant having to scrub someone else's bits of meat off the rack. I know you can't expect luxury for the price but I would expect somewhere to be clean.

This is a great barn set in perfect surroundings. It is a very 'natural' building which was clean. The wifi works perfectly. The owner, Lucia, lives next door and is available when you need help but otherwise leaves you to it - which I find perfect for a peaceful holiday. Not only was she kind and helpful but her dog Mini was a delight! The pool was fabulous and the views from it were to die for. In fact, the views from all around the barn were amazing. We visited nearby Caprese Michelangelo and Anghiari which were all very interesting. There is a Spar in Lama where the ladies are really delightful, fussing over the children and allowing them to try the cheeses/meats before buying. If you need more provisions, nearby Sansepolcro has a massive Co-op. This is a very unspoilt part of Tuscany - we loved it. I hope to return to the barn very soon.
