Holiday home Close to a golf course in Marliana

Beautifully authentic two-story house full of trinkets and old elements. Equipped with modern conveniences like oven and microwave. Everything is clean, works fine and seems to be maintained. Cozy filter coffee machine present in the deliciously cool kitchen (ground floor) but no dishwasher. So wash the way it has been done for years with a brush. There is a (large) TV on the first floor (living room). In both bedrooms there is virtually noiseless air conditioning which is self-adjustable in the way the user wishes. There are windows for windows placed on the 2nd floor so you can always open your window and do not bother bugs. The double bed in the main bedroom has a spiral mattress (use is noticeable) and is for people up to 185-190 cm. We have nevertheless slept well. Terrace outside offers plenty of shaded areas, and there are lovely lounge chairs (and even a rocking chair). The view is magnificent and there is always a good breeze due to the thermal threats due to the height and temperature differences with the valley. Especially in the afternoon when the sun is the most powerful, it is very pleasant. Parasol is not movable, but can be put in different positions. Wi-Fi only on 1st and 2nd floors is regularly removed. The nearest dining area (Pizzosteria Al Piesto) is directly at the foot of the hill (7 steep hairpin curves). This is to walk 15 mins down, 20 mins up! Washing machine is included (take your own detergent) and works fine.Florence is fine by train from Pistoia (35 min) cost return per person 8.80 euro! Parking nearby The station is a parking place "Pertini" and you can stand for 2 euros all day! Tip take binoculars to spot birds of prey that float on the thermal! Improvement points -no mechanical ventilation in bathroom-no corner for bathroom window-light soot

Nice location on a mountain. Nice view over the valley and Pistoia. Because of the wind it is a bit chilly and there is little room to sit out of the wind. Nice and tasty in the summer but fresh in the spring. Luciana is very cordial and cooks the tastiest dishes, pies, pizza and cookies for you. Very sweet. The kitchen diner is pleasant, bedrooms are also cozy. Bed is a matter of taste I think. The one is good on the other less, but we have not got any back problems in any case. The living room is spacious, but very old sagging couches. You are more comfortable outside. We were there with a toddler and toddler. That went well. There is a crib, high chair and slide. No toys available. Glad we could just use the washing machine. Everything is present and really neat clean. No dust in sight and the chlorine air comes in the bathroom. Very nice that everything was so clean. We have visited Pistoia, Lucca and Pisa and from the house you can walk a bit on the Strata Romana hiking trail (both at the top near the church and below at the entrance of the house). Supermarket is 10 minutes drive (Conad) or 20 minutes in Pistoia (coop). Baker at St Felice and a fatastic ice cream shop opposite the Conad! The owners are really very friendly. They do not really speak English, but with hands and feet and a translation app on your phone you will probably end. We had to search for the house. Tomtom stopped before the village. But from pistoia you can see the house on the mountain. Drive up the narrow road after the second bridge and after tig hairpin bends you come to the house.

Borgo Migliorini is nothing short of a magical place. An hidden gem tucked away in the beatiful Abetone mountain, it provided a marvellous frame for our wedding which we hosted here in mid-June. Blessed by fabulous weather, our guests raved about their stay in this cabin and were just mesmerized by the beauty of it all. The cabins are built with ex-novo materials salvaged by the hamlet's owner, who descends from a long line of illustrious artists and put his very soul in the restoration of this hamlet by scattering pieces made by his ancestors over the centuries. If you are not too fussy about things being polished, are a nature lover and rustic is your style, look no further. Great value for money.
