Summary: This is an absolutely private place in the Tuscany’s hills. You can relax all day, but if you want the hustle and bustle of the city, Arezzo is the nearest big city (Siena 1.5 hours by car). There are several restaurants to choose nerby. A major shopping centre is 20-30 minutes away. The house is typical Tuscan style and well equipped, energy consumption needs attention but we had no problem. The big pool was our favourite, we spent almost the whole day there, there’s not much else to do on a hot summer day. We recommend the place for those who prefer relaxation and retreat.

Summary: Its a nice place but it is on top of a hill with a really small road to it...almost no place to pass another car. When we arrived the host thought we would arrive the day after, so we had to wait for another hour for the key. The house was fine, big enough, nice bedrooms and living room and kitchen is fine. The pool is great! The winery is super and really tastefull! We had a nice vacation.

Summary: We had a great two weeks staying in the house. It was really spacious and had everything we needed. Although there was no air conditioning it wasn’t needed, as the building is a traditional Tuscan farmhouse with really thick walls so no need to worry about the heat. The pool was a major highlight - really big and great for swimming properly in, as well as splashing around for the kids. There are four families who can stay altogether as the pool is shared with more flats but this wasn’t a problem and most of the time we were on our own in the pool. Great location for Arezzo, Florence, Poppi and some great walks in the hills nearby when it gets too hot. I can highly recommend it!

Summary: Thank you, Cecilia and Massimo, for your hospitality! We (2 adults, 3 kids (ages 15/13/8)) spent 16 wonderful days in the lovely Casa Giannino! The house and property are very well taken care of. The house is clean, the beds are comfortable, the kitchen has everything you need (except an oven; there is a toaster oven and we managed just fine), the covered breakfast nook was the perfect spot to start the day, the pool is clean and large, the grounds are well kept, and view over the valley is spectacular. It was a fantastic home base for our daily trips exploring the region and for relaxing at the pool, both in the morning and the evenings. We hiked a lot in the Foreste Casentinesi, explored the monasteries of La Verna and Camaldoli, went to Arezzo, Florenz, Anghiari, Poppi, and many more tiny medieval towns, enjoyed all the Gelato we could find and many dinners at various restaurants (Il Mulino in Rassina is a definite favorite). It was great to meet Marco and Greta, the vintners operating the Ornina winery, see their operation and purchase the wine made right there on the premises. All in all it was a fantastic vacation with many new discoveries, we would love to visit again! Cheers!

Summary: We, a German family of five (3 children aged 15,12 and 8) and our dog stayed in Ornina for two weeks in August 2018. We loved it instantly and were enchanted by the special spirit it is radiating. We enjoyed the peaceful, quiet atmosphere as much as the beautiful views of the surrounding hills and valley. We enjoyed relaxing and swimming in the pool ( which was cleaned daily and well looked after just like anything else) as well as bicycle tours which were quite challenging due to the hilly landscape. There are many places within reach which are worth a visit. We went to Caprese Michelangelo, Anghiari, Camaldoli +Eremo, Poppi, Firenze, Arezzo, Siena, Cortona and Lago Trasimeno. Last but not least we tasted and enjoyed the fine organic wine produced by Marco and Greta and got some insight into the making of the wine. Thanks to both of them for answering all our questions and for the tasty tomatoes! Thanks to Tiziana for taking such good care of everything and special thanks to Cecilia and Massimo, our hosts, who were not around but always available (online) for the good communication and your warm and friendly ways! We can imagine very well to come again! kind regards Ute and Patrick with Jonathan, Silas and Malena and our dog Laica

Summary: This is our 5th time coming to the lovely Cottage of Ornina. We love the place because it is calm, surrounded by beautiful nature with a big refreshing pool and a simple but authentic Tuscany-style interior of the House. For your excursions you can do beautiful bike tours, drive to charming Arrezzo in 30 Minutes or have a culture and shopping day in Firenze. There are also plenty of other charming sites to see, such as Poppi with its old castle or la Verna, the Franciscan Sanctuary. The owner is very friendly and helps you with all you need. We will come back again :-) Family with 2 kids from Munich, Germany

Summary: We spent two weeks at this wonderful property in August 2016. We have three teenage daughters and found Ornina absolutely ideal. It is set in beautiful Tuscan countryside with great views and is slightly off the beaten track. It is a bit further from the classic Tuscan sights, such as Lucca or Siena, but these places are easy to reach, and the advantage of Ornina is that there are fewer tourists in the region. Everything feels authentically Italian, including the friendly and welcoming restaurants in nearby Rassina. The house is very spacious and had everything we needed. We loved the terrace, and the pool was superb. Cecelia and her extended family, some of whom greeted us when we arrived, were always incredibly helpful and warm. It truly was one of our very best family holidays. Thank you!

Summary: When we got there the greeting was very nice and all of the pre booking was easy and simple. The View was lovely but the oven was broken and the shower leaks into the dining area. The pool and the view were lovely but wasn't relaxing at all from either being attacked by horse flies every 10 seconds or the near by farm starting work at 7 until late every day. Overall I wouldn't stay here again.

Summary: We had a very relaxing time and enjoyed the pool, the nice outdoor terrace and the natural surroundings a lot. We travelled with our two kids and our dog and felt very good at that lovely and relaxing place ! The owners very friendly and helpful and gave us all information we needed, so we did feel very welcome and also knew where to go for sightseeing or for a good meal. We will come again this year and are looking forward to another lovely week in Tuscany !

Summary: We spent two weeks in Ornina at the end of July and were completely delighted with both the house and the surrounding area. Our apartment was perfectly clean, simpl but beautifully furnished. Everything is in authentic, rural Tuscan style. We had an absolutely lovely time in Ornina. Massimo, Cecilia and Marco with his wonderful wines are grat hosts.The swimming pool is a really nice place to relax and enjoy the beautiful Tuscan nature and the Arno valley.The countryside is breathtaking. House Ornina is also perfectly located if you want to make day trips to famous towns like Arezzo, Siena, Florence, Perugia.. We certainly will visit Ornina again !
