Guestbook for Agriturismo Podere Zollaio
Our ideal place in Tuscany Rebecca Fans Essex, England . Date Submitted: June 16, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2007 Every year for over 10 years my friend and I have spent our holidays at "Podere Zollaio" in Vinci. We have also had many holidays with both our families in the large farmhouse "Casa Eden". We have always found the apartments and farmhouse clean and well maintained and exactly as described. Every holiday has come up to our expectations. The beautiful views, from the apartments, swimming pool etc., of Vinci and the surrounding Tuscan countryside, enhanced by Lisa's wonderful red and white wine and delicious olive-oil, make this our ideal place. We have visited many of the cities and towns mentioned in the brochure and found them well within a reasonable driving distance - many repeated trips to Florence, Lucca and S. Gimignano which are our favourites. We love strolling through the olive and vine groves down to Vinci, which has everything we need, including good restaurants and bars, everyone is very friendly, Lisa, Chiara and Ian do everything possible to make our holidays enjoyable. Great family, lovely place to relax and get away from it all. It is bliss.

The most relaxing place on earth! Alison and John Nottinghamshire, England. Date Submitted: May 21, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2007 We have stayed at Podere Zollaio twice now and would live there if we could! The house is beautifully decorated and furnished, and very flexible for parties, families or couples. Outside is perfect for enjoying food and wine whilst looking at the amazing scenery across the hills and down to Vinci. Ian and Chiara are really welcoming and do everything that they can to make every visit perfect. Vinci is perfectly situated for sightseeing - Vinci itself, Pisa, Florence and San Gimignano are just a few of the places within easy travelling distance. I wold advise anyone reading this to book and go...NOW! Recommended for: Sightseeing, Families with Young Children, Romantic Getaway, Age 55+, Girls Getaway, Families with Teenagers
Our favourite place in the Tuscany Lisa's fan in Munich Munich, Bavaria, Germany. Date Submitted: May 13, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2007 For more than 11 years we, that means my wife and I, regularly spend our holidays at Lisa's Podere Zollaio in Vinci. We were almost the first visitors there after opening of this nice, calm place for foreign customers to recover. You will find there a friendly, clean, well-maintained property in typical tuscan style with a marvellous prospect to Vinci and the Arno-Valley. Taste the red and white wine and the delicious olive-oil from Podere Zollaio and you will be convinced that you will return to it in the near future. The informations/descriptions regarding Podere Zollaio are accurate. We would recommend the property for people who like Italy and especially the Tuscany. In details see recommandations below. Perhaps we will meet you at Lisa's place in the near future. Recommended for: Sightseeing, Families with Young Children, Age 55+
