IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ALL HOLIDAY-MAKERS:
Apartment La Terrazza is not an official tourist structure, such as an hotel, residence, etc. but a private house. Being such, it does not have standards or categories that are internationally recognised, indeed it reflects, in its architecture and furnishing, the local traditions and the personal taste of the owner.
This is precisely the kind of holiday we offer: the chance to partake in the culture of Tuscany, living in the same surroundings as an inhabitant would. In order to live this experience in the right spirit, it is important not only that the holiday-maker accepts but also that he will be able to appreciate the differences in the property we are proposing in comparison with those where he normally lives.
