Our aims are to provide top quality Tuscany self catering accommodation in a beautiful setting, a peaceful environment and with a level of personal service to make your Tuscany holiday relaxing and memorable. All of this is done with an awareness of the balance which must be maintained with the world around us. Every effort is made to reduce the harmful effects on the environment through the use of sustainable fuel and solar energy and to produce food of the highest quality using only what nature intended. Local Tuscan services are recommended and they benefit hugely from the input of sensitive and responsible holidaymakers.
Self catering guests are encouraged to visit local producers in Tuscany: cheese makers in Castelnuovo, olive groves in the Lucca hills and wineries at Monte Carlo (Lucca) – all small scale practices using traditional methods. Local restaurants abound and benefit from our guests’ patronage thereby aiding local employment. We point out traditional Tuscany food suppliers rather than supermarkets.
Ailsa is a trained chef who will produce gourmet meals from organic produce and local suppliers according to the guiding principles of the Slow Food Association. Where necessary we employ workers from the village to help with maintenance or to clean the accommodation. Local tradesmen built the properties using traditional materials, many of them recycled.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
