Charming Tuscany Country House with private pool, barbecue & table tennis

Marina, Our stay at your Tuscany country home for nearly 30 nights exceeded our expectations! Bravo. We stayed June 10 to July 8, 2023 and will never forget your 25-acre property with its vineyard, vegetable garden and immaculate swimming pool. When you prepared my daughter Maddy and I a country pasta dinner unasked on our first night, I knew we were in good hands with you as a gracious host. Maddy's partner Sarah joined us a few weeks later, as did others. This was an emotional trip. Before she departed in 2020, my wife Tracy and I had vowed to each other to rent a big home in the Tuscany hills and invite friends and family to stay with us. Now that vow is kept, with such sweet memories. With its six comfy bedrooms and four baths, the tastefully renovated Salceta stone house easily accommodated the 11 people who came and went over our stay, each visiting for short periods. We all enjoyed Marina's wines made from vines grown on the property, and her olive oil. Her event suggestions were perfect. Excellent local winery visits resulted. She even arranged a pasta cooking class at the house where we humbly helped the expert cooking crew create a scrumptious lunch for a reasonable extra fee that included many courses and wines. Day trips to ancient Florence, Siena, San Gimignano, Arezzo, Cortona, Poppi and elsewhere thrilled our adventurous hearts. Don't be shy to ask Marina for travel tips! This was the trip of many lifetimes. Thank you, Marina! Mike and Maddy

We all had an incredible time at Marina’s property. We had 8 people visit in total (two children aged 2 & 4, four adults and two seniors). We were celebrating my parents’ 65th birthdays and 35th anniversary. The house had more than enough room for a very comfortable, 6-night stay in Tuscany and was very central to all of the little towns we wanted to see. Marina takes obvious pride in the landscaping and maintenance of the property at Salceta, as the gardens and flowers are lush, and the pool is perfect (albeit a little chilly!). The temperature of the pool did not stop our two young children in enjoying the water. They played and splashed around while everyone enjoyed cold beverages and aperitivos around the pool. The grounds were flat and safe for the kids to run around, while the adults relaxed and visited outside. Marina cooked us a fabulous home-cooked meal the night we arrived at Salceta, and we appreciated this so much given we had spent the day travelling and arriving from the airport. We tried a few bottles of her wonderful wine, and it was the cherry on top to a great meal. My kids loved the lemon meatballs and we all enjoyed the delicious tagliatelle she had made. Marina, we loved your restaurant recommendations. They were spot-on! We tried a restaurant 1.5 in down the road and it was an an excellent spot for families with young children. We so enjoyed everything about our stay at Salceta. We hope to be back someday to experience it all again!

Wir hatten mit unserer Familie eine wunderbare Zeit in diesem wunderschönen Ferienhaus in der Toskana. Alles war liebevoll eingerichtet, sehr gepflegt und der perfekte Ort zum Entspannen und Genießen. Besonders bedanken möchten wir uns bei Marina, die sich hervorragend um uns gekümmert hat und jederzeit herzlich und hilfsbereit war. Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt und würden jederzeit gerne wiederkommen. Vielen Dank für den unvergesslichen Aufenthalt!

Wir haben uns rundherum wohlgefühlt. Marina hat mit ihrer Familie hier ein wunderschönes Anwesen, dass kein Wünsche offen lässt. Es bietet ausreichend Platz, hat großzügig liebevoll eingerichtete Zimmer, eine sehr gut bestückte Küche und einen traumhaften Außenbereich mit Pool incl. Whirlpool. Dieser sowie der Garten werden täglich von zwei Gärtnern in Ordnung gehalten, die aber kaum zu sehen sind und quasi im Hintergrund agieren. Marina war am Anreisetag vor Ort und hatte uns alle wichtigen Details, wie Spülmaschine und Waschmine erklärt, sowie wertvolle Ausflugtipps gegeben. Wir haben die 10 Tage sehr genossen und kommen bestimmt wieder. Vielen Dank !!!

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans cette grande maison au calme et superbement décorée. Les enfants ont adoré la grande piscine et nous la grande cuisine pleine d'accessoires. L'accueil de Marina était chaleureux et elle s'est rendue disponible lorsque nous avons eu besoin d'elle. Les 2 seuls inconvénients étaient les lits de 2 chambres aux matelats moins confortables et les moustiques qui apparaissaient juste à l'heure de l'apéritif. Nous recommandons cette maison !
