Reviews of Appartamento Il Riccio A

Excellent

September 2010 - Wonderful, quiet location with walks available through the vineyards and olive groves. Tremendous view from the bedrooms, close to the sights. Great hosts. Accommodations were outstanding. The pool was a great place to relax after a busy day of sightseeing.

We were extremely pleased with the service we received from everyone at Summer in Italy. Any concerns were addressed and solved quickly.

June 2010 - We (my husband & I and our 2 sons) spent 4 weeks in Italy and stayed in 6 different apartments. We spent 7 nights in the apartment called Il Riccio A. It was our best holiday accommodation by far.

The views are nothing short of breathtaking: vineyards, olive groves, San Gimignano, rolling hills... I cannot believe that there are no photographs of the views from the upstairs windows on the web.

The owners, Mr & Mrs Alex are the most gracious and caring hosts we have ever come across - going way beyond the call of duty.

The kitchen was equipped with everything required to prepare a banquet never mind a meal for 4.

The rooms are spacious and comfortable.

If we ever get the opportunity to go back to Toscana I will not be spending a single moment looking for accommodation -- my flights will be according to the availability of the accommodations at Appartamento Il Riccio A!

You were absolutely super to deal with right from the first enquiry. I will have no hesitation in using your services in the future or recommending you to others. Thank you!

September 2006 - Il Riccio A is a beautiful apartment in a beautiful location.

All the rooms are spacious, the kitchen is well equipped, the grounds well kept and the location is central for day trips to the major sights of Tuscany.

Taking a day to lay by the pool and recharge was wonderful. We very much enjoyed our stay at Il Riccio A.

Since it was harvest season in the vineyards and hunting season the traffic along the farm roads started at dawn but remembering this is a working farm it is only natural.

We booked both this location and Villa Vanessa A in Massa Lubrense for this trip and are more than pleased with your service. All correspondence was handled promptly and professionally. All financial transactions were handled in a secure manner. Your service and desire to help always seemed to be at the forefront of your communications. I would certainly recommend your company to others and hope we will have the opportunity to book additional properties with you in the future.

When we drove up we were breath taken. The house is extremely clean and stays nice and cool at night.

The owner was very kind. The apartment made the ambiance of Tuscany even that much more fabulous.

I highly recommend staying there. I would absolutely go back

April 2006 - Well located for day trips to Firenze, Pisa/Lucca, Siena, San Gimignano, Chianti Region, Montepulciano, etc.

Alex and Marguerite were wonderful hosts, and we appreciated that they were living on-site.

The village of Ulignano was very close by, offering a wonderful pizza restaurant with excellent food and very affordable.

We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it.

I would book with Summer in Italy again. I especially appreciated the helpful information you provided before our arrival in Italy. Everything about our booking went smoothly. Thank you.

July 2005 - We loved pretty much everything about Appartamento Il Riccio A. Soemtimes at night it was loud because the motorcyles went by loud and fast and we were right near the street or the dog would bark, but that really wasn't a big deal. Everything else was PERFECT!

I have already recommended it to many people since we've been back.

Beautiful grounds, great location, clean pool, the owners were wonderful and very helpful.

Great! Everything was very easy and stressfree.
