There is very good mobile phone signal from the house, however in certain internal areas this may be restricted by the very thick, 400+ year old walls. There is also good signal from the garden. We would also advise using a wifi enabled messaging service such as whatsapp in conjunction with mobile.
Please note that fibre optic cables haven’t quite reached us yet and that wifi service in a medieval village can be subject to some fluctuations.
The house is fully equipped, including hair dryer, iron and ironing board, plug-in mosquito repellent, kettle, espresso maker, dishwasher, toaster, swimming towels, coolbag, picnic blanket.
The terrace is furnished with outdoor table and seating for 6 and two loungers.
We also provide enough consumables for your first few days – coffee/teabags/dishwasher tablets/toilet rolls/olive oil/salt and pepper.
The house is stocked with the basics – coffee, sugar, tea etc.
The local bar has a few essentials available for purchase however the nearest basic stores are a 10 minute drive in Pietrabuona with an alimentari, butchers etc.
We highly recommend making a stop at the biggest supermarket, Esselunga, in Pescia which is conveniently en-route to the house (highlighted on the directions PDF attached to your booking email). Opening hours are 7.30 to 21:00 (20:00 Sundays)
There are two further major supermarkets, Co-op and Lidl, and a weekly Saturday morning market in Pescia (highly recommended) with ample fresh produce.
There is a comprehensive list of recommended places to visit on the sightseeing page of this website.
We will also send you a link to our digital guidebook 7 days prior to your arrival, which provided all the information in a convenient app
