1070 A celebrity style retreat for the family!

If you are looking for a peaceful place for a holiday then this may be it.....

With a family of five it is not always possible to "getaway", except to maybe your typical holiday park which, has never put a smile on my face. So after looking through [url]www.agriturismo.com[/url] for a place near Pisa to take a weeks break, I found Relais Guado al sole near Pomarance. Its about 75 minutes south east of pisa airport and as the website showed a fantastic restored farmhouse, i thought this was to good to be true.
So, what i fantastic excuse to fly out from bournemouth to spead a night and see for myself. Basically this place puts all the others that i have seen in the shade.
The self catering accomodation was first class, the views from our bedroom of sunset's and sunrise's superb and the food was out of this world.
Don't expect a menu in the dining room ( which used to be the stables ) Leave it all in Manuela's hands and she and her husband will not disappoint.

The location is close to Volterra and Sienna and an hour from the beach, but the kids should be kept ocupied as the place is surrounded by olives groves and woods to explore and a very refreshing spring water pool.

The price I hear you say! Well, for a six person apartment with most meals came to about £900. Remember these were five course meals of wild boar, venison, guinea foul etc etc.

As with most places, they welcomed our children and nothing was to much trouble. Ideal if you are single, couple, married or a family.

Enjoy.
