“Casa Rosa, schön und alt”
The location is great. Pian di Rocca is a small village away from the tourist bustle, yet there’s one of Tuscany’s best pizzerias—La Corte—just around the corner. The air‑conditioners are quiet. The fenced garden on the ground floor is perfect for a dog. Pets are allowed without extra charge. There’s plenty of storage for all your suitcases and clothes. The washer is handy. There are many espresso machines in various sizes. The short walk to Castiglione is 6 km. The covered parking is right next to the house. We’ll definitely come back.
The kitchen equipment is lacking. There’s no kettle, no toaster, and no oven (a microwave with grill would be a good substitute). The knives are dull, and the pots and pans don’t match the many lids. One old cutting board is also insufficient. The salad spinner is broken. Cooking isn’t much fun. There are no egg cups, no Grappa glasses, and only one beer glass left. Wine glasses are also scarce. Communication: many languages are listed, but it’s Italian you can say “good day” to the friendly hosts, but you can’t explain what you need if you’re not fluent—hence this long list in the review urging a renewal and addition of the household items.
