My daughter and I had the great pleasure of spending July and August of 2021 in Moreno’s charming villa in Quarrata. This beautiful medieval villa has been updated with all modern amenities. Completely private, you’ll share the property with the landlord and another couple who have separate driveways for a nice mix of privacy and security. Quarrata is a working town but a fantastic central point. We took easy day trips to Cinque Terre, Ravenna, Modena, Pisa, Arezzo, Siena, Montalcino, Montepulciano, Bologna and more. Could easily have gone to Venice if we’d wanted and only 2,5 hours from Rome. Needless to say we practically lived in Florence, whose tram stop was only about a 20 minute drive away. The villa is well-appointed, Quiet and clean with AC in every room. There were a few mosquitoes (all over Tuscany) but they were easy to avoid. The pool is a little old but it suited our purposes well and Moreno kept it well tended. In fact, Moreno was the MOST delightful and helpful host and we found many local treasures at his suggestion —including our best meal of the summer and a beautiful local swimming hole that was, as he said, the place of fairies. Moreno was so kind to us, bringing us fruit from his trees and even local pastry and checking in on me when I had a minor traveling injury. We absolutely loved our stay and I’m confident you will too!! Thank you, Moreno!!!
