Description
The holiday home IL RIFUGIO is an independent, single-storey holiday home with a private pool on three sides for exclusive use. The house attached to IL RIFUGIO is not inhabited. Next door is the homeowner who respects your privacy. A man-high hedge separates the outside areas of the holiday home and the private home of the house owner. 2 double rooms, 2 bathrooms, 1 kitchen and 1 living room offer comfortable space for 4 persons with small child. Comfortable, bright furnishings. Year of construction 2011, in 2018 the furnishing was completed. Approx. 2,000 sqm fenced olive grove. Internet access. 2 x SAT-TV. BBQ. Air conditioning in the bedrooms. Only small pets are allowed. From the communal entrance, a separate driveway below the owner's house leads to the IL RIFUGIO holiday home. A private parking place for your car is directly at the holiday house
Living room:
Very practical: From the pool terrace as well as from the barbecue terrace you enter the light-flooded, spacious and bright living room with SAT-TV. The high timbered wooden ceiling creates a cosy atmosphere up to the gable in South Tyrolean style. The walnut dining table, model "Rosa dei Venti", and the extraordinary chair from the "pezzi d´arte" series with high backrest are important and sought-after designs by the famous Italian sculptor Mario Ceroli. His works have already been exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art in New York City and in the Vatican Museums. The precious furnishings also include a display case made of burl wood, originally from a pharmacy, around 1800, a low side table made of walnut root wood and 2 hand-painted antique wall plates (albissola). Very decorative and original at the same time is the reproduction of a medieval wooden monastery clock. When the weather is cooler, the fireplace provides cosy warmth
Kitchen:
From the living room you reach the open kitchen with exit to the barbecue terrace. The comfortable modern fitted kitchen has a high refrigerator with freezer, an oven at eye level, a 5-burner BOSCH gas stove with extractor fan, a dishwasher, a filter coffee machine, an espresso machine, a microwave oven and sufficient cooking utensils and crockery
Bedroom 1 with bathroom:
You have direct access to the pool from the light-flooded, pastel double room with SAT-TV. The honey-coloured parquet flooring, an innovatively designed walnut console and the high fully timbered wooden ceiling complement each other perfectly in tone. Cleverly mounted wall lights set special accents and put Vannucchi's pictures of the 4 seasons in the right light. The brand new en-suite bathroom is divided into 2 areas: in the anteroom is the washbasin, behind it is the bathroom with shower, bathtub, WC and bidet
Bedroom 2 with bathroom:
Also with parquet flooring and a high wooden ceiling is the double room, the coolest room, whose single beds can be arranged. From the bed you look into the greenery and at olive trees. The high-quality wardrobe with sideboard comes from the workshop of a local master carpenter. The collection is joined by a 1800s walnut root secretary, a chair from the "pezzi d´arte" series with a high backrest and a wooden chest "asso di fiori" from Mario Ceroli's Annabella series, as well as a tall turquoise chest of drawers with plenty of storage space. The bedroom has a separate brand new bathroom with shower, WC and bidet
Private pool:
It couldn't be more comfortable: "From bed to pool". The ground-floor private pool with interior lighting, which is only available to you, is located directly in front of the house. Its dimensions are: 9,50 m x 4,30 m, the depth ranges from 1,20 m to 1,50 m. A small brick staircase, a so-called "scala romana", leads comfortably into the pool. To provide even more privacy, in 2018, one side of the pool area adjacent to the homeowner's lounge was planted with tall laurel bushes. From the sun terrace in front of the cottage you can see the roofs of Monsummano Terme and the mountains of Pisa. Sunbeds and parasols
Barbecue terrace:
The fenced property with olive grove covers approx. 2,000 sqm. A treat for the eyes: from the barbecue terrace directly attached to the house you look into olive trees. Around it grows the typical reed grass of the area. A rustic seating group invites you to cosy and convivial barbecue evenings. During the day, a sun awning mounted on the holiday home provides shade. Behind the shady back of the holiday home overlooking the hill of Monsummano Alto the plot rises only slightly.

Almost perfect!
We had a very nice vacation here. The large, completely private pool is practically the focal point of the property, so we spent a lot of time here. The landlady (who lives in the neighboring house) is extremely discreet, and you are protected from prying eyes by a hedge.
For outdoor meals, there is a bench set under a retractable awning. However, these benches have reached the end of their service life and would need to be repaired or replaced soon.
On sunny days, it is somewhat difficult to escape the sun because the awning does not provide shade during the day. You have to continually move the umbrellas according to the sun.
The house itself is very high-quality. A large living room with an open kitchen, air conditioning, and a TV with German channels. The kitchen is fully equipped, and we didn't miss anything.
Since there were only two of us, we only used one bedroom. The air conditioning was also important to us here. We would like to highlight the beds, which were unusually stable and equipped with good mattresses (especially for us with some experience in Italy). The evening view of the Tuscan countryside is truly unique, and the sunset is almost ridiculously beautiful.
There are no real negatives. Well, of course, due to its location on the outskirts of the town, it is not really quiet in the evenings, and the annoying barking of dogs on the neighboring farms bothered us a bit, so we only give it 4 points for the location. And we have to mention the difficult driveway to the vacation home, which is really borderline. Cars with low suspension have no chance. And if it has rained heavily for a long time, even normal cars without all-wheel drive would have a hard time. In the dark, we didn't dare to drive away with the car anymore because we were afraid of slipping off the road. The landlords should and could improve this.

Nice little house with pool and friendly landlords.
Great location and beautiful pool. Here you can find peace and the necessary cooling in the pool.
The landlords are very reserved, so you are undisturbed.
They are happy to answer any questions.

Wonderful
What was great: great location, great pool, great air conditioning, very nice hosts, great wifi, German television.
What wasn't so good: The way to the house is a washed out, adventurous bumpy road. This can be a problem for normal or low cars.

Answer from Mrs. G. Corsten:
Lieber Feriengast,
vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback. Wir wurden bereits mehrmals auf den schlechten Zustand der Zufahrt zum Haus aufmerksam gemacht. Es handelt sich um eine ca. 10 m lange Strecke VOR dem Eingangstor. Hierfür ist die Komune von Monsummano Terme verantwortlich, die bereits mehrmals vom Eigentümer kontaktiert wurde, um die Strecke auszubessern, bisher aber nichts unternommen hat. In der Zwischenzeit wurde die Zufahrt vor dem Tor vom Eigentümer persönlich ausgebessert, sodass jetzt unsere Gäste problemlos das Haus erreichen dürften.
Wir würden uns freuen, Sie wieder einmal begrüßen zu dürfen und wünschen eine gute Zeit!
Viele Grüße
Gabriele Corsten

Schönes Ferienhaus mit Pool
Sehr schönes Ferienhaus in ruhiger Lage. Schlafräume gut. Betten gut. Leider ist der Weg/Strasse sehr abenteuerlich. Trotz hohem Radstand bei meinen Allrad Wagen eine grosse Herausforderung. Reinste Buckelstrecke!

A great house, clean and with a large pool
We were very satisfied with the house. It was very clean, the pool with access steps (ideal for children) was great. The layout of the two rooms with 2 bathrooms was perfect. A big new kitchen with everything you need. The landlord was very nice, but you did not hear or see him, but he would have been there for help if needed. We can really recommend the house with a clear conscience.

It was beautiful all around!
We booked the house relatively spontaneously for our family holiday with dog and were very enthusiastic. The house is spacious and clean, the air conditioning a blessing and the view from the pool into the valley fantastic. If we could wish for anything else at this high level, it would be a washing machine. Otherwise, everything was top notch. Even our dog was happy about his free run on the well-fenced grounds. Last but not least, we would like to emphasise the very friendly, considerate and at the same time reserved hosts, who were immediately available to help us with any concerns. Many thanks for that!

Eine wundervolle Oase
Hoch oben über Monsummano Terme fanden wir unsere Ferien-Oase in Alleinlage. Der Blick vom Haus war fantastisch. Mit Wein, eigenem Olivenöl, Obst und Leckerei für unseren Hund wurden wir von den Vermietern begrüßt.
Das Haus ist sauber und bot für 4 Personen reichlich Platz, alle Zimmer waren klimatisiert und sehr gut ausgestattet. Lediglich eine Waschmaschine fehlte uns für 3 Wochen Urlaub. Wir konnten jedoch in der nahe gelegenen "Lavanderia" im Ort Wäsche waschen.
Der Pool ist grandios, am Abend beleuchtet, und bietet Erfrischung pur.
Die Vermieter waren sehr hilfreich und doch diskret. An einem Abend wurden wir mit selbst gebackener Pizza überrascht, so lecker! Danke Francesca und Alessandro!!
Von Monsummano Terme unternahmen wir Ausflüge nach Florenz (gut erreichbar mit dem Zug) und nach Pisa, San Gimignano, Volterra, Autofahrt max. 1-1,5 h.
Wir können das Ferienhaus zu 100% empfehlen!!

Il Refugio
Es war einfach perfekt und es ist ein toller Ort um von dort aus Ausflüge zu unternehmen (Pisa/Florenz/Lucca). Die Vermieter sind eine sehr nette und hilfsbereite Familie.
Achtung: Auffahrt ist nichts für tiefergelegte Fahrzeuge ;-)

Erholung pur ..... ein Traum ....
Wir 4 hatten gehofft das es in diesen Zeiten mit dem Urlaub klappt und es hat geklappt . Als wir angekommen sind wurden wir herzlich empfangen vom Hausherr , eine ausführliche Führungung im Haus und Erklärung der Gegebenheiten ,unser Enkel wollte unbedingt in den Pool der sehr groß und sehr sauber war .
Unser Enkel hatte den größten Spaß doch auch wir hatten bei der Wetterlage und der Aussicht einen wunderschönen Start .
Das Haus liegt leicht auf einen Anhang umgeben von Oliven Bäumen und einen massiven Berg im Rücken .
Die Aussicht geht weit ins Land - wirklich ein Traum am Abend .
Das Haus hat alles was man braucht - super eingerichtet es hat an nichts gefehlt . Das einkaufen in dem kleinen Ort ist relativ nah gelegen und die tollen Restaurants sind auf jedenfall ein Besuch wert .
Aber auch der Hausherr mit der lieben Familie die können eine Pizza machen - die könnte man glatt aus dem Restaurant bekommen haben - sehr sehr lecker .
Wir und unser Enkel hatten eine wunderschöne Woche die leider zu schnell vorbei war - doch werden wir sicherlich wieder kommen und wenn es nur zu Besuch ist falls man In der Nähe ist . Vielen Dank an alle die daran beteiligt waren ......

Erholung pur
Das Haus liegt mitten im Grünen und ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man benötigt. Der Pool direkt vorm Haus ist optimal zum schwimmen, tauchen und Wasserball spielen geeignet.
Der Besitzer ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit aber dennoch diskret.
Günstig ist das umzäunte Grundstück, sodass wir unseren Hund frei laufen lassen konnten.
Die Lage des Hauses ist ca. mittig zwischen Florenz und Pisa bzw. dem Mittelmeer. Das waren für uns gute Entfernungen (ca. 1 Autostunde), um die Ausflüge zu unternehmen. Lohnenswert ist auch ein Ausflug nach Monsummano Alto und Vinci. Diese Orte liegen nah beim Ferienhaus.
