Guest Reviews for Altavista by Tuscanhouses
Maison comprenant 6 chambres et six salles de bains, trois cuisines, un beau et grand jardin et une piscine avec une vue spectaculaire !
Airbnb - August 2023Would you recommend this property to a friend? Yes
We had a great stay at the villa - everything was clean and the surroundings very well kept! In general the villa is equipped with everything needed and offers a lot of privacy also when using it with more than one family. There is someone coming every day to empty the rubbish and have a look all is well with the garden and pool, which we found was a great service! The view from the villa is outstanding but be aware the roads are challenging. ???? Thank you very much for the stay, Elisa! Elisa, thank you very much for a great stay! you have been a great host and communication was great at any point!
