Wonderful place with everything you need…Nice and helpfull owners, beautiful pool, magnificient views, … the house had everything for a perfect family holiday!
We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Anita. It was well equipped and comfortable with the most amazing views over the nearby town. It's perfectly located to visit all the nearby tourist attractions in Tuscany. The hosts went above and beyond to help with questions. If we ever go back to tuscany I wouldn't hesitate to stay here.
Our family spent a couple of days in this beautiful, very well equipped and spacious house. The view from the terrace over the Tuscan landscape is really breathtaking and we enjoyed our stay very much.
We definitely recommend the house to any person or family who appreciates the calm and beauty of Tuscany.
The owners were very friendly and gave us good tipps for our visit to Florence. The kids absolutely loved the Da Vinci museum in the village.
We hope to come back some day.
Chiara and Ian could not have been more willing or helpful. As they knew we were arriving on a Sunday and the shops were closed they emailed before we arrived to ask if we wanted any shopping to keep us going- such a great thought. On arrival the property was very clean and tidy and had everything you required for a stay . The location was fabulous with a view over Vinci from the terrace. During our stay , Chiara and Ian regularly checked on us to make sure all was well. The pool was brilliant and kept the kids occupied for many an hour , which was bliss as we were there during 40 deg heatwave.
Das Casa Anita ist in echt schöner als auf den Bildern. Der Blick von der privaten Terrasse ist herrlich. Chiara ist per whatsaapp jederzeit für Frsgennerreichbar.
Wir können die Casa Anita sehr empfehlen! Wir waren im Ferienhaus untergebracht und es hat an nichts gefehlt. Das Ferienhaus ist gemütlich eingerichtet und war sehr sauber. Darüber hinaus hat uns Chiara sehr herzlich begrüßt und stand uns zu jeder Zeit mit Rat und Tat zur Seite. Besonders toll war der große, saubere Pool und ausreichend Liegen mit Sonnenschirmen.
Mit wunderschönem Blick auf Vinci und die umliegende Umgebung lässt es sich kaum schöner Frühstücken. Vinci war nur wenige Gehminuten vom Ferienhaus entfernt, wo es einen kleinen Coop, super leckeres Eis und auch leckeres Essen gibt. Florenz und Pisa sind in ca. 1 Stunde mit dem Auto zu erreichen.
Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt in der Casa Anita. Die Wohnung ist gut ausgestattet, es fehlte an nichts. Chiara, die Vermieterin, war super freundlich und hilfsbereit und hat uns viele hilfreiche Tipps für Ausflüge, Restaurants und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten gegeben.
Die Wohnung liegt inmitten von Olivenbäumen und ist jeweils ca. 1 Stunde mit dem Auto von den Sehenswürdigkeiten (Florenz, Lucca, Pisa, Siena) entfernt.
Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder!
Traumhafte Ferienwohnung in der Toscana-Landschaft
Wir wurden sehr herzlich von Chiara, der Vermieterin begrüßt und mit der Wohnung und der gesamten Anlage vertraut gemacht.
Für uns bot die Wohnung alles, was zu einem genussvollen Urlaub gehört: Großzügige Küche, überdachter Freisitz (Schatten, Regenschutz), Ruhige Lage zwischen Olivenhainen, Lebensmittelgeschäfte, Bars und Eissalon in Laufweite (15 Min.). Vinci ist ein liebenswertes historisches Städtchen.
Although there was a mistake -my mistake - in the reservation, Chiara was very flexible and helpful in finding a solution. Thank you ! The house was perfekt and the paranomic view breathtaking.
Tolle ruhige Lage, in 10 min zu Fuß in Vinci, sehr nette und freundliche Vermieterin, der Pool einfach wunderbar erholsam, tolle Gegend mit vielen sehenswerten Orten, einfach ein rundum gelungener Urlaub, wir kommen sehr gerne wieder!!!!
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour à Vinci, très joli petit village. L'appartement est idéalement situé pour visiter les grandes villes toscanes (Florence, Sienne, Lucca, San Gimigniano, ... ).
La propriété est très calme, la vue magnifique et la piscine très agréable. L'appartement est très bien équipé. Chiara est disponible si besoin. Bref, nous avons passé de très bonnes vacances.
Das Ferienhaus "Casa Anita" ist ein schönes Ferienhaus in absolut ruhiger Lage. Nach Vinci kann man zwar gut zu Fuß gehen, das ist im Sommer wegen der Hitze allerdings auch ein wenig anstrengend, sodass wir es nicht allzu oft gemacht haben. Ansonsten benötigt man das Auto.
Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt, einzig die Mücken (auf den Terrassen) waren störend, sodass wir es abends dort nicht lange ausgehalten haben. Hierfür kann aber natürlich niemand etwas. Und die Fenster sind mit Netzen gegen Mücken und Fliegen gesichert.
This home was a wonderful respite during our Italy trip. So many things went wrong during our vacation but the hosts at Podere Zolliao were so incredibly kind and helpful and made us feel so welcome. The home was charming, the walk into town exhilarating, and the views from the terrace absolutely incredible! I can't wait to return to this little piece of heaven in the Tuscan countryside.
Wir haben eine tolle Woche in Vinci verbracht.
Wir wurden von Chiara sehr freundlich begrüßt und auch während unseres Aufenthalts konnten wir sie bei Fragen jederzeit ansprechen.
Die Aussicht von der Terrasse war traumhaft, auch die überdachte Terrasse am Eingang war sehr schön. Leider waren auch die Mücken dieser Meinung ;) . Der Pool war auch schön. Aufgrund der Corona-Problematik war dort jeder Ferienwohnung ein eigener Bereich mit Sonnenliegen und einem Sonnenschirm zugeteilt, was wir sehr gut fanden. Die Wohnung entsprach genau den Bildern in der Anzeige. Das WLAN ist etwas langsam, für einfache Internetnutzung aber völlig ausreichend. Für Filme o.ä. reicht es jedoch nicht. Es gibt aber einen Fernseher mit Receiver, über den auch deutsche Programme empfangen werden.
Wir konnten direkt vor dem Haus parken. Für große Autos könnte die schmale Zufahrtsstraße allerdings problematisch sein.
Die Wohnung liegt etwas außerhalb von Vinci. Tagsüber kann man zu Fuß in den Ort. Im Dunkeln sind wir jedoch immer mit dem Auto gefahren, da die kürzeren Wege entweder durch einen Olivenhain oder an einer Straße ohne Bürgersteig entlangführen.
Man kann von Vinci aus mit dem Auto auch relativ schnell noch viele andere interessante Städte besuchen, z. B. Florenz, Lucca oder San Gimignano. Florenz ist von der nahen Stadt Empoli auch sehr gut mit dem Zug zu erreichen.
Insgesamt haben wir uns in der Casa Anita sehr wohl gefühlt und würden jederzeit wieder dort Urlaub machen.
We had a very enjoyable stay at this authentic Tuscan location. The hosts were very kind and attentive. The property is located outside a very picturesque village with amazing views from the balcony.

We Love Casa Anita!
We were so pleased with our choice of Casa Anita. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed and we felt that sense of warmth from owners Chiara, Ian and Lisa until the day we left. The house is very comfortable with the most incredibly views of the valley and the village - sitting outside was a treat and we had to tear ourselves away from the view in order to visit the attractions seen from above! The kitchen is modern and easy to use with everything we needed. The rooms are spacious an comfortable. The house wine and olive oil were delicious and we enjoyed more than 1 bottle! As well it was unique to be able to walk thru the vineyards and olive groves that produced them. We loved the donkeys, goats and especially all the cats! Indiana Jones and Ariel were with us every day to make sure we were still welcome.
We hope to come back in warm weather to experience that beautiful pool.
The town of Vinci is quaint and easy to navigate, with shops and restaurants and the Piazza full of life. The Leonardo Museum is worth time spent there -- there is much to see and understand. We recommend getting the iPad tour. Access to Florence is a dream -- a 30 minute train into central Florence from Empoli which is no more than 15-20 minutes. Very very easy. Lucca is another great attraction as is the Medici Villa in Cerruti Guidi.
Thank you again to Chiara, Ian, Lisa, Becky -- and of course donkeys Viola, Camilla, and Gino -- the goats, Indiana Jones, Ariel and the rest of the kitties. We can't wait to come back! Rob and Laurie

Beautiful Tuscany!!
The property is huge and has many smaller rentals tucked away it appears. Very quiet, gorgeous views and the smell of olive oil and basil in the air. Very quaint village walking distance and Leonardo's birthplace just up the hill. Great location and the goats and donkeys were a nice touch. Pool was clean but very cool good for hot days. You must buy the wine and olive oil from Chiara....they are superb. Only problem was sharing internet and trying to get online before anyone else. Chiara was helpful in providing a second connection password, but that rarely worked. If you don't need internet, everything else was wonderful, but my son and I were travelling on the 'fly' and had to look up future accommodation sites. Best of luck in the future with your lovely property!!
