If my title doesn't speak for itself, then I'll just add that we had the most amazing family vacation at Villa Volpaia due to the absolute uniqueness of the home... the architecture, the gardens, the balconies & the views! All of it stunning.
Liscia di Vacca & the charming little street that the villa is on, felt like like a perfect nook amongst the glitz & glamour of Porto Cervo & the Costa Smeralda. Was just our speed, and we simply adored it.
On a more practical note- the handful of restaurants within walking distance from the house were perfect for our needs, as well as the market & pharmacy. Bruno the caretaker was easy to communicate with and was super helpful when we had a minor issue.
This is by no means a negative thing, but the stairs in this house are no joke! It is clearly stated in the description, but I didn't give it much thought to be honest. I'm only mentioning it here because we had a 7 year old and a grandmother with a bad knee, and the stairs became the topic of much conversation during our stay. ;)
Beaches and other excursions were easy to get to from the villa, (with a car), and we appreciated all the information in the book. (Although we spent too much money at the linen shop in San Pantaleo thanks to that suggestion, haha!)
Many, many thanks for sharing your special home with us. We hope to be back someday!
