About this property
Casa l'Oca, spacious and bright in the heart of Tuscany at the gateway to Chianti.
Casa l'Oca, also called the house with seven balconies. This modern but charming house is located in the heart of Ponte agli Stolli, an ancient village in the center of Tuscany. Built on three floors it is equipped with all the comforts that you can ask for in a holiday home.
NOTE: the owners are willing to prepare a lunch (or dinner) with a typical Tuscan menu at the price of 20 euros per person (30 with Florentine steak). Wine and drinks included.
On the first floor there are the kitchen, the dining room, a bathroom and a beautiful and bright living room with fireplace, piano and 44-inch flat-screen TV. Also on the first floor just outside the main entrance is the garden with table and barbecue.
On the second floor there are two bedrooms and a bathroom while the third floor consists of an elegant study with a double sofa bed and an additional fourth bedroom.
The unique feature of this house is that each room has a balcony with a view of the surrounding countryside.
Another important feature is the private parking with automatic gate that can hold up to two cars.
The services offered are varied: free broadband wifi throughout the hotel, fireplace with wood included, flat-screen cable TV, barbecue, wood-burning pizza oven, kitchen with dishwasher, washing machine.
Located in a very convenient strategic point just 7 minutes from Figline Valdarno with its supermarkets and shops and outlets like the famous 'The Mall' and 13 minutes drive from Greve in Chianti and the fabulous hills of the most famous countryside in the world, the our structure offers everything you can ask for a holiday of relaxation and well-being. In about 25 minutes you can reach Florence via the motorway and in just over 40 you can get to the wonderful city of Siena.
In the area you can find several attractions such as the Camping Girasole with swimming pools and other activities, the Old Texas riding school and several restaurants for every price range. The village of Ponte agli Stolli has a minimarket with local gastronomic specialties and an excellent restaurant with bar. And if you want to venture into the 'wild side' of the place there are many paths that cross our forests and a river near the house where you can swim in the summer thanks to its natural pools carved into the rock by water during weather.

Great vintage Tuscany home.
This home was exactly what we were looking for. A beautiful 3 story home with large rooms and typical Italian home decor. The host met us upon arrival and left us plenty of goods including coffee and rich chocolates. The top balcony has good views of nearby olive tree rows and grape vines. Nearby is a typical bodega where we stocked up on items. The home was clean, cozy and comfortable. We don’t rent homes on vacation to stay in them all day but this home gave you the feel of being a local. The home has a secure parking space and is minutes from the highway although it feels like your hidden much farther away. Rented three homes on this two week trip in Italy and it proved to be our favorite.
Großes Haus mit wunderschönen Blick ins Tal bis auf die Berge, perfekte Lage für Florenz, Pisa, Siena, Auto dafür notwendig. Wunderschöne Wanderungen direkt an der Unterkunft, freundliche und hilfsbereite Besitzer.Wir haben den Pizza-Ofen in 7 Tagen 4 mal benutzt…. Jedesmal ein Event! Zusammengestückeltes Geschirr und Küchenausstattung aus 8 Jahrzehnten… kultig! Sehr alte Steckdosen, Adapter aber im Haus vorhanden.
Rustige plek als basis voor ontdekken Toscane. Piepklein dorpje met toch 2 restaurants. Goede prijs voor huis met 4 slaapkamers en 2 badkamers. Eenvoudig en sfeervol ingericht. Veel door vorige gasten achtergelaten voorraad, goed kijken wat nog bruikbaar is. Zeer hartelijke ontvangst door Carla in perfect Engels.2e sleutel zou erg fijn geweest zijn voor de keren dat we apart van elkaar iets ondernamen.
Average overall, however washing machine takes 3 hrs to wash, old appliances, eg toaster does not work, and heating is remote controlled and not constant as per agreement. Some days very cold in the property.
We had a lovely 10 day stay at this holiday house in Tuscany, as a family of six, with three teenagers and a toddler under two. The hosts were lovely and the house was very clean and inviting. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely choose to stay here again, if we decide to visit Italy again.

Perfectly located to explore the region.
We enjoyed a very relaxed 5 nights here. Warm welcome from our hosts. The house is very comfortable, staying cool in the hot August weather. Plentiful patios/outdoor seating areas allow you to find a cool spot all day long. Beds all very comfortable with plenty of towels/linens available. Kitchen very well equipped if you want to cook.Washing machine and dishwasher appreciated. WiFi was excellent....best we had during our holiday. Location of the house was superb. Short drive into Figline Valdarno, where you can find plenty of big supermarkets and restaurants/services. Lots of places to visit within an hours drive and 20/30 minute drive to beautiful Chianti towns and plenty of vineyards to visit on doorstop. Well stocked shop in the village however the local bar/restaurant didn't seem to open during our visit ( Mon-Sat in August).

Splendida vacanza!
Abbiamo fatto un lungo week end dal13 al 18 aprile 2017 e siamo stati soddisfattissimi della nostra scelta. La casa è molto spaziosa e situata in un luogo incantevole, un vera vacanza lontani dai rumori, ma allo stesso tempo vicinissima a tutte le città che volevamo visitare, Siena, San Gimignano, Firenze e Pisa sono state le nostre mete raggiunte senza difficoltà. Inoltre siamo riusciti a visitare le splendide colline del chianti oltre a partecipare al mercato dell'antiquariato di Greve e visitare alcuni castelli, da non perdere Montefioralle, è veramente incantevole. Che dire se potremo tornare in Toscana sicuramente la nostra scelta ricadrà sulla stessa casa, con padroni di casa, ospitali, cordiali e prontissimi ad aiutarci in qualsiasi occasione un caloroso saluto a Mirella e Gianni ed un grazie di cuore per tutto da Margherita, Dario, Laura e Greta!
