Dear Lifehacker,
I need some work done around my house. The problem is, I'm out of my league. I'd love to hire a handyman or a contractor to help me out, but how do I go about finding one? How can I make sure they're trustworthy and won't do more damage than good?
Harried Homeowner
Dear Harried Homeowner,
All isn't lost! Resist the temptation to pick up the phone book and start leafing through it, looking for nearby handymen or general contractors. There are better ways to find good, reputable contractors who do good work and are willing to stand behind what they do. The key however is that you have to do your research and your homework before you hire and stay engaged while they work. You can't cut corners here—there are plenty of bad handymen out there willing to do shoddy work and charge you a ton of money, and they give the good ones who are eager for your business a bad name. Here's how to find—and support—those good guys.
Start Your Search in the Right Places
The first step to finding a great contractor or handyman is to start by searching in the right places. Even if you do own a phone book, resist the urge to start flipping through it. This isn't the kind of decision you want to leave to chance, or to the person with the biggest ad. Here are a couple of places to start your search:
- Yelp: You'd be surprised at the things people review on Yelp, and you can easily find contractors, maintenance companies, and handymen all listed with detailed contact information, photos of their work, and plenty of customer reviews to help you decide how the person's work really is. While you should always take Yelp reviews with a grain of salt, I've seen a number of contractors with great reviews, written by cutomers who actually shared their photos to back up their assertions. There's a little "people only come here to rant when they're angry" aspect to it, like there is with any Yelp review of any business, but on the whole, Yelp can be a great starting point to find well-regarded and capable hands in your neighborhood.
- Angie's List: Angie's List may be paid members-only, but it's one of the web's most trustworthy resources for real reviews of hundreds of different services, from home contractors to babysitters. Membership fees vary depending on where you live, but you can expect to pay something like $30/yr (they do have monthly plans if you just need access for a short time) to get access and poke around. You can check how much a membership in your area would be here. The service's membership-only approach to reviews and ratings is generally regarded by both customers and contractors as a good deal—contractors can't pay to be featured or listed and they can't buy reviews—they can, however, post discounts for other users if they're highly rated. There are no anonymous reviews, and reviewers are (usually) verified by the service. Reviewed services actually respond to their reviewers, and the service even has an arbitration team to help resolve any disputes between a reviewer and the company they found through Angie's List. It's hard to suggest Angie's List if you're only hiring someone once in a blue moon, but if you hire frequently or are getting a lot of work done, it can be a huge help.
- Word of Mouth: Word of mouth is the way most great repairmen and handymen get business. Ask any good one and they'll tell you that customer referrals are their livelihoods. Ask your friends and neighbors if they've had any work done, and if they have, who did their work (and of course, whether they would recommend them to someone else). Don't stop with just your friends or neighbors though—if you've recently purchased your home, give your real estate agent a call and see if they have any suggestions—odds are they will. Get the word out that you're looking for someone good, and you'll probably get a few referrals from people you can trust. That doesn't automatically mean they're a good handyman, and it doesn't mean you should hire them right out of the gate, but it's a good start.
- Community Bulletin Boards/Message boards: Continuing on the word of mouth theme, if you live in a condo building or an organized community, see if there's a local message board or building website that lists some of your neighbors' picks, or where you can ask for suggestions. For example, my building has a site just for residents, and more than a few of my neighbors have posted their favorite contractors for different types of work—all of whom are familiar with the building, the floorplans, the appliances and equipment standard in each unit, and so on. It can be a big help to hire someone who's already familiar with your facilities. Similarly, if there are no recommendations for the type of work I want to do, I can always post to the bulletin board and ask the whole building for their suggestions, which is almost always sure to turn up some great options (and a little debate).
- Your Local Hardware Store: While it's unlikely that someone at your local hardware store is just looking for a little side repair work, most hardware stores do have bulletin boards where local contractors post their business cards, web addresses, or phone numbers to advertise their work. Between this and checking Craigslist, you're getting dangerously close to the "open the phone book" level of vaguery, but on the bright side, this method could at least give you some guidance if the other methods fall short. Plus, if they have a website, you can visit and check out photos and references, or use their information there to do more research, maybe on Yelp or another site to see if they're legit.
Once you have a few good options or people to get in touch with, the first thing you want to do (if you're in the United States or Canada) is to check and see if there are any outstanding or open complaints with the handyman or the company they work for with the Better Business Bureau. Regardless of what you may think about the BBB, people do lodge their complaints there more often than anywhere else, and if there's an open complaint about work they've done, you'll know to think twice about hiring them.
Also, check with your local housing authority or city government office that handles building, construction, and permits to make sure they're a familiar face down there (if you're getting work done that requires permits) or that there aren't any outstanding complaints or pending legal issues with the handyman from City Hall's perspective. Plus, your local building or code inspector will have a good idea of who they enjoy working with, who does good work, and who can barely pass inspection (or doesn't bother to get inspections done).
Interview First, Before Anything Else
By now you should have a short list of contractors you want to interview to see if they can handle the work you need done. Whether it's hanging drapes or building an addition, you want to interview them first before agreeing to let them do any work in your home. Don't let them just give you a raw estimate for the work you're asking for—especially if they've never seen your home, or have no idea of the scope of the work involved.
Call them up or meet with them and ask them about the kinds of work they've done in the past. Ask what their expertise is, and whether they've done this kind of work before. If you're in a state or region where a contractor has to be licensed, ask for their license number so you can verify it. If they want to give you an estimate on the spot, let them, but make it clear that this isn't binding and you're not hiring them for any work.
Most importantly, get some references. Every decent handyman or contractor will be happy to give you a list of people they've worked for in the past, what they've done (and if they're good, they'll give you references for similar work to what you're asking), and even show you pictures of the before and after job, tell you how much it cost, and show you the kinds of plans they'll draw up for the job, how long it'll take, and walk you through the details of those previous gigs.
References are of the utmost importance when you're hiring someone to work on your home—don't just take the handyman's references for granted either, go see the work they've done, and call up the people they worked for. That's the point of references, after all—you should be comfortable calling the person they're using as a reference, asking to see the work yourself (so you can make sure it hasn't deteriorated or the photos hid a larger issue), or that the handyman isn't just using the person's name because they were happy a week after the work was complete, but had to get it torn out and redone a month later. Call their references. Go see their work. Talk to their prior customers. We can't stress it enough.
Get Your Estimates—and a Plan
Once you have your candidates and you're pleased with their referrals, it's time to get your estimates (if you don't have them already) and get a firm plan for the work you'd like done. Most contractors won't put too much into a plan before you've actually hired them, but the good ones will at least rough out what they expect the job will take. They should even help you understand what the cost will be in time and materials, even before you hire them for the job.
We have some great tips to help find good contractors and weed them out from the bad ones. Some of the tips are ones we've mentioned—like checking with your city inspector or building office, and checking with the BBB. However, here are some other good things to remember when getting your estimates and reviewing project plans:

We had a delighted 2-night stay at Maria and Alessio's family home. Felt very homey, enjoyed the garden and the cleanliness of the place. Maria is a great, easy going and experienced host. Only takes about 20min by bus (1.2e/ticket) to reach Piazza San Marco and it's nice to get out of the busy centre in the evening. One advice but just the same as everywhere in Tuscany, beware of mosquitos :) Grazie Maria!!Karim2016-06-23T00:00:00Z
We stayed here for 3 nights over Christmas. What a wonderful family. Fell in love with them and their lovely cat. Nice location with easy bus transport into the old city in less than 20 minutes. Great Pizza place just a short walk away. Ask Maria Rita for directions!Laurie2014-12-24T00:00:00Z
I really enjoyed my stay at Maria Rita's. Her home is beautiful, and her family made me feel like I was at home. They were kind enough to let me join them for dinner. I only wish I could have spoken better Italian so I could have talked to her husband more! Great place to stay.Cathi2014-09-26T00:00:00Z
Maria's home is a stunning ex monastery, it is so beautifully finished like a work of art! Maria and her family were so kind and welcoming. We had a wonderful stay in their home and would recommend it to anyone who want to visit Florence. We loved Maria's giant cat, and wished we could have taken him on the rest of our trip.Beth2014-05-28T00:00:00Z
Beautiful and quiet. Maria Rita's home is impeccably designed and organized. In a suburb of Florence's core, the house is a short 5 min walk from many bus stops. A simple 10-15 min bus ride brings you directly into the downtown. The AirBnB suite is a bedroom and bathroom located upstairs in this young family's home, making it quite safe feeling. It is worth noting that the family is quite kind and open, though their schedule does restrict use to common spaces such as the kitchen and living room. Wifi connection is weak in the upper suite. So cooking and wifi access are restricted to daytime hours when the family is at work and school. Overall, a lovely, quiet place to stay while in Florence.Monica2014-07-24T00:00:00Z
Maria's family was lovely and we felt welcome as soon as we arrived at first day. The interior of house is bright and lovely as well. Despite that the place is a bit away from city center, but with bus connection it is very easy to reach. Highly recommend.Chungyen2015-12-28T00:00:00Z
My stay in Florence was fantastic. Maria Rita's place is beautiful and as described. My wife and I were warmly welcomed on the first day we arrived and was shown around the place. The next following days, it seemed we own the place and felt comfortable. I would highly recommend this Maria Rita's place if anyone looking for a place to stay in Florence.Joseph2015-07-18T00:00:00Z
Lovely family in a lovely house and peaceful neighbourhood. I recommend it 100% Thanks M Rita, Alessio, Duccio & ErculeJavier2014-09-15T00:00:00Z

Exactly as described. If you want great access to Florence, FREE parking, and secure quiet place for 1 or 2 people, this is a tremendous value. Massimo was right on time outside to bring me in the gate and readily answered all questions. For those that need a view of Florence from their balcony, you'll have to go pay XY more. I'll spend my days out in it.Jeffery2014-03-11T00:00:00Z
We stayed as a couple in the Nest for one week and had a very nice and relaxing time there! We were warmly welcomed and Massimo helped us with parking and luggage and explained everything necessary to us. The Nest is very well equipped and had everything we needed - even coffee, some juice and fruit, pasta etc. were already there to get started perfectly (as we were arriving on a sunday). As other guests before mentioned, the shower is small (but works well) and you can only sit sideways on the toilet, because it is too close to the shower. But for us it was okay (and my boyfriend is not that small). We loved the possibility to park our car securely and also that it's possible to walk into town - so that we could make day trips to Lucca and the sea or just walk into Florence-centre - both very comfortable. And in the evenings we often had our dinner in the little pocket terrace which is very nice! We had a wonderful week in Florence and in the Nest - thanks Massimo!Katrin2014-06-22T00:00:00Z
Massimo's apartment was great! Perfect for everything we needed for our stay in florence. He was very helpful with recommendations and while some may say the location is a bit out of the way we found it to be wonderful. He was also very helpful with getting us there...don't miss his apartment by car or you will drive for an hour trying to find it again.Brendan2015-07-11T00:00:00Z
The Nest was wonderful. We were greated by Barbara. She was very kind and welcoming. She showed us everything about the apartment and new all the local hot spots. Massimo responded to all our emails within minutes every day and was very informative and pleasant.jacob2014-09-14T00:00:00Z
Massimo checked us in pretty fast. We arrived just at the time we promised and he spotted us and brought us around the apartment. There was a file to tell us everything we needed about Florence and the things to do. This was extremely helpful and he must have put alot of effort into making his guests comfortable. Recommendations for food was amazing as well as the pastries round the corner was to die for. Location wise - it's a walk to the Duomo area but after a while you get used to it and there's a tonne of shops to browse along the way.Zuhri2014-11-06T00:00:00Z
Massimo was so kind and nice to us. He explained everything we needed and gave us a lot of ideas. Thanks Massimo!! A!also the apt was really quite and warm. I really like that. We had a excellent experience in Firenze. Thanks again.Hye Suk2015-10-22T00:00:00Z
Massimo was so helpful and quick to respond to our emails, he arranged an early check in at last minute which was amazing. The apartment is great very well kept and 15 minute walk away from the centre of town. Great amenities was very much at home here! Thank you Massimo!Holly2016-12-12T00:00:00Z
Massimo's place is ideal for exploring Florence but still having peace and quiet away from the bustle of a lot of tourists and great for a good night's sleep. It is well equipped and we were able to cook whatever we wanted. The supermarket is quite close. We walked everywhere and didn't move the car the entire 3days so it was great to have a secure place to park it.Mary2017-03-24T00:00:00Z

Natascha's apartment was very comfortable for the five of us and was as close to feeling like a home as we could get...The kitchen is well stocked, there are two good sized bathrooms and two outdoor spaces which would be great to use when the weather is warmer. All communication with Natascha was easy and she is gracious and lovely in person. The location is excellent there is free parking on the street outside and the building has an elevator. It was warm, secure and felt very safe. Thank you very much Natascha!!Shannon2015-12-08T00:00:00Z
Brilliant apartment, great location - 15 mins walk to centre but also a couple of nice places within minutes. Natasha was very responsive to my messages and super friendly and helpful when we met. Balcony is a fab aspect of the apartment for sunny daysHelen2016-03-20T00:00:00Z

It was a pleasant experience as Natascha was very responsive and helpful in her replies. The apartment was in a strategic location, just outside the main shopping/dining and sightseeing spots. Apartment was clean and all that we needed, including a cozy couch where us friends would gather and chat. Overall, it was a short and comfortable stay in Florence! :)Wan Ting2015-11-17T00:00:00Z
Beautiful appartment in Firenze, nicely decorated. The appartment is vast with two bedrooms and two balconies. 20 min walk from the Duomo. We have been unlucky however as there was no electricity the last two days because of a problem with the appartment breaker panel.Mathieu2015-06-27T00:00:00Z
The apartament is beautiful and near from The center of The city; everything was clean. Natascha was so nice and she suggest us things to do (or go), and let us food and coffe. Everything was great!Blanca2015-07-04T00:00:00Z
Natascha's place is awesome!! Neat & clean. We feel comfortable like stay at friend's home. We found some nice restaurants around. Supermarket is just a block away. All the good things trade with a bit long distance for a walk to Florence scenic area. But, who cares :) Also really appreciated Natascha's hospitality, help us call the taxi whenever we need.Rawewan2015-05-07T00:00:00Z
This apartment in Florence was fantastic. As others have said the pictures don't do it justice. The neighbourhood has great restaurants and is close to supermarket. Transportation by bus was easy and quick. The kitchen is well equipped and spotless. The entire place is spotless actually. The patio furniture is very comfortable. It was very quiet and although not many spoke English in the area everyone was helpful and friendly. Natascha speaks excellent English and was very accommodating, quick to respond to us including arranging a large taxi for us to get to the train station. I felt so at home there I wish I could have stayed longer and would not hesitate to recommend to anyone. There is a bonus closet/sitting room off the master which was very nice for my husband and I to sit or to read a book. Everything was A+Irene2015-05-14T00:00:00Z

Believe every review. Marco's place is the perfect way to visit Florence. The bus is very convenient to the city center. The nearby town has everything one needs, except a laundromat. The loft itself is perfect for two. An incredibly romantic alcove in the Tuscan hills. My dude and I swooned. Enjoy!!!Kwame2016-06-02T00:00:00Z
Marco's place was absolutely love! It was so clean, spacious, and the view was incredible! The kitchen had everything we needed, and we really enjoyed the stay.Dorothy2016-03-11T00:00:00Z
Morden design, very confertable bedding. Great view outside. Higherly recommended.June2016-10-07T00:00:00Z
Marco was very kind and polite, he picked us (me and my boyfriend) up at the bus station and took us to his loft. We were welcomed with a very nice bottle of Chianti! His loft looks exactly as shown in the pictures, very cozy, clean, organized, we had everything we needed in the apt. The view from there is incredible! It's easy to reach the historical center if you take bus 25. The area is very quiet, and when it was midnight (new year) we ran out the loft down the street and saw all the fireworks in many places of the city, since the location of the loft is very high, you can see most part of the city from there. Excellent choice, highly recommended!Kamila2016-01-03T00:00:00Z
Marco is a fantastic host. Our arrival to his place was delayed because of traffic, and when we wanted to get there Marco was kind and come for us. The apartment is beautiful, new, just like in pictures, and you have everything you need for your stay there. You don't have TV but you would not need it because Florence is place to have fun, go tour. It is little far from center, but that makes up wonderful views, peace and feeling of relaxation from city rush. Bus station is nearby, and you have bus every 20 minutes. At the end of day you'll say: "Let's go home!", because you will feel like that. :)Marijana2015-11-14T00:00:00Z
Marco was a fantastic host! He was quick to reply to any messages we sent before and during our stay and was more than helpful with parking our car , providing additional directions etc. The apartment was lovely & exactly as described in the pictures. It was really clean and we enjoyed staying there! If we come back to Florence then we'd definitely stay there again. The welcome bottle of wine and the basic groceries provided were very much appreciated.Alison2016-08-17T00:00:00Z
Marco was great communicating and organizing the check in and the loft is a great spot if you decide to escape the touristic areas of Florence. It offers a fantastic view to the city and the green areas around and is really quite and peaceful. Marco was also very kind offering us a bottle of wine from the region. I really recommend this place.Nuno2016-07-01T00:00:00Z
Everything was great! Marco was very kind and helpful, gave tips on resturaunts and answered any questions we had. He even arrenged transfer to and from the airport cheap!

The apartment has everything you could need for your stay & your hosts are easily accessible & very nice. Whilst we walked to everything it is a little further from the historical sights than I'd have liked but then that is just my preference. There are a few buses in the area you can catch & plenty of restaurants not too far at all.Lisa2014-06-26T00:00:00Z
We had a wonderful month of January at Maria and Francesco's. The apartment was everything that was described on line, from the well stocked kitchen for cooking (if you like to cook), to the fresh linens for the bed (they smell so wonderful) and towels. We especially loved the heated towel rack in the bathroom, what a luxury. Even with a month in Florence we only saw a fraction of the sites and will have to come back again. The apartment is in an ideal location for walking to the city center. Again! Maria and Francesco are wonderful host's and will help you wherever they can to enjoy your visit to Florence. Thank you! Wayne and Patty. Abbiamo avuto un meraviglioso mese di gennaio presso Maria e Francesco di. L'appartamento era tutto ciò che è stato descritto in linea, dalla cucina ben attrezzata per la cottura (se vi piace cucinare), le lenzuola per il letto (che odore così meraviglioso) e asciugamani. Ci è piaciuto soprattutto il termoarredo in bagno, quello che un lusso. Anche con un mese a Firenze, abbiamo visto solo una frazione dei siti e dovremo tornare. L'appartamento si trova in una posizione ideale per raggiungere a piedi il centro della città. Anche in questo caso! Maria e Francesco sono ospite meravigliosa di e vi aiuterà ovunque si può godere la vostra visita a Firenze. Grazie! Wayne e Patty.Wayne2015-02-01T00:00:00Z

This apartment is just a lovely as described. It is more spacious than we thought and very clean. Apartment is on the fourth floor of the building with elevator access. Location is in a nice area and was about a 20-25 walk to the center of the city (Uffizi, Ponte Vecchio, Duomo, etc.). The host was very courteous and accommodating and even stocked the fridge with a few essentials for us (bottled water, milk, yogurt, eggs, butter, etc.). We would definitely stay here again if we are lucky enough to return to Florence!Jackie2015-06-09T00:00:00Z
What a pleasant stay me and my partner had at Maria's apartament! Located just 10-15 min walk from the city center, really convenient to get around and with lots of good restaurants and bakeries in the area! The Flat was clean, bright and it had everything you need to have a lovely time in magical Florence. Grazie mille Maria for everything! ErickErick2015-02-16T00:00:00Z
Beautiful and spacious apartment! We very much enjoyed our stay here. It's walkable to the major sights and yet very quiet. Thank you Maria and Franco!Melissa2015-10-13T00:00:00Z
Amazing apartment! Maria and her husband were lovely and so accommodating. They had food for us on arrival and even baked some cake too for us the next day! The apartment is HUGE! My only regret is not spending more time in Firenze! We were so close to everything! And if you stay here, catch bus 13 from the train station! It only cost I think 3€ for 2 adults (and bub) and it was a 5 minute walk from the bus stop to the apartment! So much to do and see! I'm planning on coming back with the family and will definitely stay here again! Thanks again so very much xStephanie2014-11-24T00:00:00Z

Our stay was ok although not as enjoyable as we hoped. What was good was the nice welcome, free use of the kitchen and good wifi. The location was also within a nice stroll to the main station and there were some nice cafes nearby. The cons were the apartment had no air con so it was very hot in the apartment at the time we stayed. Unfortunately for us our room was right next to the street which was very very noisy even at nighttime, it was very difficult to sleep. The apartment attracted lots of mosquitoes and the showerhead over the bathtub was very tricky to use and didn't have very good water pressure. Overall not the best experience so probably wouldn't stay again.Vanessa2016-07-06T00:00:00Z
The Montebello Orange Room is in a very good location and we had an amazing stay there. The apartment is spacious and we utilized the fully equipped kitchen everyday, which was helpful for us budget travelers :) the only problem was that there was only one bathroom to share with another room of guests, and sometimes that became a hassle when four people are vying to use the bathroom. Other than that, we had a great experience and David and Luisa were sweet hosts!Eri2016-07-27T00:00:00Z
We had a great stay here; the apartment is in a great location. David wasn't home but we met his friend and his mother and they were both very friendly. Bed was comfortable, shower was a little bit moldy but other than that no complaints!Jessica2016-05-25T00:00:00Z

This is a very nice place to stay! Very calm and nice streets around, close to the centre, train station. Room was nice with the window to the street, that was totally quite. Bed was very comfortable. We could use the kitchen also.Živilė2017-01-21T00:00:00Z
The room is so nice. Our stay was very comfortable and Lucia is very kind to us. Super recommended!Yuanyi2017-03-30T00:00:00Z
This was a great place to stay for maybe 1 or 2 nights. You're sharing the place with other guests and there is only one full bathroom. The bed was very comfortable. Up a few flights of stairs so keep in mind if you have heavy luggage. The location was wonderful. Close to train station and wonderful shops and restaurants. Room was clean and very comfortable.Lily2016-10-24T00:00:00Z
Nice host, very helpful : he had prepared a few recommandations of local restaurants that we tried (and we also recommend them). The neighborhood is quite calm, but 10 minutes by feet to the very center of Florence. The bed is also excellent. You feel good in David's place. Good quality for the price.Simon2016-12-30T00:00:00Z

Gianni made us feel welcome and gave us lots of tips and ideas for our stay in Florence. The apartment was amazing too, it was really large and easy to to cook, wash clothes and relax in. It was about 20mins walk to the centre of Florence which was convenient but you could also catch a bus from around the corner as well. The area also has great food and shopping. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.Thomas2016-08-10T00:00:00Z
My boyfriend and I stayed at Ipippini apartment for 5 days. The apartment is everything I expected, very clean and cozy, there is everything you need in the kitchen to make a meal. The location of the apartment is very convenient, quite close to the city center. Cristina recommended a list of places to eat, we tried every one, all of them are just amazing, thank you so much, Cristina. I would definitely recommend this place for staying in Florence.Krystsina2014-05-21T00:00:00Z
Our stay in the apartment was perfect. The apartment is beautiful and close to the bus stop for going to the center, but we also walked to the center as it is near. Gianni did everything to help us and the parking was very useful as I had some stuff in the car, which I did not want to leave on the street. All with all, thanks Gianni, we had a wonderful stay.John2015-02-02T00:00:00Z
Everything regarding our stay was faultless. The apartment was sufficiently supplied, contained and comfortable. It was very quaint and Christina was incredibly helpful in being able to get the most out of the experience. Absolutely worth booking this place for both the ease of service and all it has to offer. Thankyou so much for making my father's first time in Italy so unique and enjoyable.Kenneth2017-04-05T00:00:00Z
I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay at. The apartment is fully equipped, EXTREMELY clean - a major plus for me, a bit away from the center so you do not stumble into hordes of people once you leave the apartment while being close enough to downtown (a good 20 minutes walk). Besides the great place Cristina & Gianni are super helpful with advice - they even provided me with a great list of things to do/visit. Since I came for work I didn't have much time checking out all the things I would have wanted to - though the few suggestions I followed up with were great! thank you thank you thank you ChrisChris2014-01-12T00:00:00Z
Cristina and Gianni's place is a lovely place to stay in Florence. Its a clean, well-equipped home with the advantage of a good location and utility shops nearby. Bus stop is just 2 minutes walk and center (Cathedral, Uffizi Gallery, etc being a 20 minute walk from the home). Cristina helped us thoroughly to book a one-day tour to Siena and suggested good places to eat and see around which was really helpful for us. Overall, we would highly recommend this place. Thanks!Rohini2017-02-21T00:00:00Z
Acacia honey, herbal teas, xmas decorations and festive gifts of bonbons and panettone were awaiting us at this wonderful, cosy apartment. We chose this apartment particularly for the garage, but got so much more! C&G made personal reccommendations for us and we loved Le Menagerie and Marta's osteria dell'Ortolano (tuscan soup) near the Duomo. The location is walkable but we chose to get bus tickets for 1.30e in the nearby cafe to maximise our time in the historic centre. We came home to our lovely, cosy apartment after really cold days and cooked dinner most nights in the fully functional kitchen.Helen2017-01-09T00:00:00Z
It was an absolute pleasure staying in Cristina and Gianni's apartment. The apartment itself was lovely - just like the photos. It was great to be outside central Florence and away from the tourists. We felt like locals! Cristina was so lovely and could not have been more helpful! We highly recommend this apartment!Kylie2015-06-18T00:00:00Z

The house is beautiful and Chiara is So kind! We feel at home and the view is amazing. I really recommand this house Thank you again Chiara! Hope to see you soon! Jessica :-)jessica 2016-07-12T00:00:00Z
Chiara and her family were wonderful hosts and the house is absolutely beautiful. It has everything you may need and the view from the terrace is lovely. It is a 20 minute drive to Florence or you can walk to the nearby shop for some delicious local produce, served by a friendly gentleman. Chiara was kind enough to draw a helpful map with some suggestions and was easily contactable if we needed anything. We loved everything about this place and couldn't recommend it highly enough.Carolyn2016-08-24T00:00:00Z
This place is amazing! The house is absolutely beautiful and the views are stunning. We stayed here for a relaxing break in the Tuscan hills and we're amazed how easily we could get into Florence. Chiara and her family made us feel so welcome from arrival to departure. We had a late flight in and the bread and wine Chiara left was really appreciated on our first evening. Can't rate this place highly enough and we are already planning to come back :-)Sam2016-07-31T00:00:00Z
This was such a lovely little villa tucked in the hills of Tuscany. We loved our peaceful view of the olive groves from the back patio while we drank local wine and ate local cheeses. Our hostess was so fantastic...not only was she helpful in every way possible, she simply went above and beyond! We enjoyed our stay, loved exploring the surrounding areas, and look forward to returning to beautiful Tuscany again some day!Whitney2016-08-16T00:00:00Z
The host canceled this reservation 3 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.Gina2016-12-28T00:00:00Z
Really cosy and private place, set into the Tuscan hills about twenty minutes drive from Florence. There is a good kitchen and a bbq (which we didn't use) and plenty of space inside to lounge. Also, there's a medium sized patio with loungers and a great view, where we could easily have spent a few days on, if there wasn't loads to see and do! Chiara was really helpful in setting us up and provided us with tips for trips out in to the countryside. Only thing to note is that it would be difficult getting around without a car.Matthias2017-03-27T00:00:00Z
Chiara's place is an absolute gem! Stunning rolling Tuscan countryside greets you on the terrace, we loved waking up to that view every morning and dining al Fresco at night! The spacious apartment is rustic and charming yet practical and a great base for exploring Tuscany. Spectacular and historical Florence is only 20 mins away. Chiara and her family were warm and lovely, they were so wonderfully welcoming and helpful! We really miss our holiday in the Florentine hills so writing this review is therapy for my post-holiday blues!!!Jack2016-09-13T00:00:00Z
The place is simply amazing - beautiful view into the hills of Florence. Chiara and her family we're extremely welcoming and accomodating: Because our flight arrived very late they even let us check in at midnight and Chiara still took the time to show us everything and make sure we had a great stay. Thanks again!!David2016-10-07T00:00:00Z

I had a great stay at Mario and Beatrice's. Their beautiful house is close to the bus that takes you straight to the city center, and there's also plenty of street parking. The room is cozy and well-appointed, and they thoughtfully provide a towels, bathrobe, tea, coffee and biscuits. Highly recommended!James2016-05-17T00:00:00Z
Maria and Beatrice were great hosts and made us feel very comfortable. When we arrived, Mario showed us our room and amenities. He even brought us fresh watermelon which was very sweet. He also took the time to explain how to get around with the bus system. I would highly recommend staying at Mario and Beatrice's home.Mini2016-09-14T00:00:00Z
We were greeted with a warm welcome and fresh fruit into Mario and Beatrice's beautiful home. The house is situated in the hills just out of Florence but has a regular bus service that stops just down the road. The room had a good amount of privacy, as it was a little annex and we had the freedom to use both the kitchen and the bathroom. We made use of the laptop that is in the room, which has some useful bookmarks that helped us plan elements of our stay. We had a really pleasant stay here and felt welcomed by the whole family.Daisy2015-07-01T00:00:00Z
Highly recommend! The home is very clean and wonderful.mandy2016-06-09T00:00:00Z
Dinner with a Tuscan family - checked! :) The breakfast and dinner prepared by Mario and Beatrice are absolutely divine and unforgettable. During 4-day stay, I saw how well Mario and Beatrice run their household. There is alot of beautiful diy in their house and despite being big, it is kept clean and tidy. They inspired me to keep my new house in good and homely condition like theirs :)Shirley2015-09-14T00:00:00Z
Mario & Beatrice are both wonderful hosts. Their house is amazing and beautifully decorated. The house is perfect if you have a car and if you don't want to stay in the centre of Florence. There is a bus stop right outside, which easily gets you into the centre in 15 minutes. Last bus is around midnight. Very lovely, would recommend for a couple or solo traveller.Georgia2015-06-12T00:00:00Z
Words can not describe how amazing was the stay at Mario and Beatrice's home. The home is beautiful and the family is very welcoming. We ordered a number of breakfast feasts from the family and the food was amazing. We highly recommend Mario and Beatrice cooking. Our room was very organized, clean, and comfortable for two. We had access to their patio which was great after long day of touring florence. The bus stop was a short walk from the home and was a short drive to San Marco square. I would highly recommend Mario and Beatrice's home and ordering their amazing cooking.Lino2014-09-23T00:00:00Z
We had a great time in Florence and our stay at Mario&Beatrice's place was a big part of that. They really are the perfect hosts: warm, relaxed and making you feel very welcome. Don't miss the home--cooked dinner!Christian2014-06-27T00:00:00Z

This is a beautiful, contemporary and very comfortable bungalow located at the bottom of Tommaso's parents' driveway. The interior is beautiful, clean and comfortable with stunning views of the forest behind the dwelling. It has its own outside seating area with a canopy and table and chairs, perfect for morning breakfasts (though you might want to take a mosquito repellent spray or a cream with you). The countryside around is absolutely beautiful, we took many lengthy walks, following the road further up into the mountains and sat in the sun in the fields. Just a few minutes walk from the house is a restaurant at the bottom of the house and serves delicious Tuscan food! It was perfect for evening dinners. Caldine is only about 20 minutes walk from the house where you can find amenities like coop supermarket and a pharmacy. Though unfortunately I didn't meet Tommaso due to a knee injury, he was super helpful and friendly on the phone, and I can't thank his girlfriend Elizabetta enough for picking us up by car from Fiesole when our bus failed to show up! She was absolutely lovely. Overall, we had an amazing stay, thanks to Tommaso and Elizabetta. Will definitely recommend to friends and hopefully return myself in the future, especially Florence only being a 20-30 mins bus ride away. And all the best to Tommaso with the recovery from the injury! Nino P.s. Please note, the Internet is not provided, so if like me you plan your trips and routes as you go along with the help of the Internet, be sure to plan in advance as the local restaurant also doesn't provide wifi.Nino2016-09-30T00:00:00Z
The apartment was really nice, very clean, cosy and a lovely outside area. The apartment is around 30 minutes away from Florence by bus, definitely worth the 30 minutes. Tommaso was very helpful, he helped us with a ride to the nearest supermarket and he also help us finding a place to rent a car. I do not have anything bad to say about this place.Laura2016-07-26T00:00:00Z
I have never had such a pleasant experience while traveling, and that's saying a lot as I've been quite lucky to see the world in my thirty years. The place is like no other; located in the quiet hills of Querciola, it's exactly what I wanted and needed after three days in Florence. As you can see, Casa Vacanze Lo Scoiattolo is breathtakingly beautiful, and the pictures don't do it justice. The atmosphere is amazing; there's a little stream right behind the house beside which you can take a long nature walk up the hill, the insects sing beautifully and provide a true feeling of being in nature, and there are fresh plums and pears growing on trees (and you are welcome to try them!). The inside is extremely beautiful and comfortable with all the amenities for which one could hope, and remarkably modern luxurious given the more simple, countryside feel of Querciola. The bed is extremely comfortable as well. As for Tommaso, he was the most remarkable host one could hope for. He was incredibly accommodating and helpful in arranging my check-in and took me around in his car to show me the train station, the bus stops, and to take me grocery shopping! We spoke a few times during the trip, and every time we spoke his main goal was to ensure that my stay was comfortable and pleasant. I cannot say enough for this man and the wonderful house that he is providing at a steal of a price! I truly am so grateful to Tommaso and certainly will be going back as soon as possible. I feel that I left Querciola with a friend in Tommaso, and I'm sure we will continue to speak!Nicholas2016-07-08T00:00:00Z
Tommaso and Elizabeth were very welcoming and helpful, as was Tommaso's father. The village is very small and quiet, which suited us, and access to Florence by train from the next village was good, quick and very cheap (€1.50 per journey). The very traditional Italian restaurant in the village (only 100 metres from the house) is excellent for atmosphere, food and service. We ate there 4 out of six evenings! There is secure parking available at the side of the house with plenty of space. We were pleasantly surprised by the size of the house. It was bigger than we expected! More cooking utensils would have been welcome. We didn't eat in very much but when we did we we needed to have more pans, a larger bread knife and perhaps more cups and drinking glasses. In spite of that, we would certainly recommend Tommaso's place to anyone who prefers a quiet spot with easy access to a bustling, historic town.Alan2016-10-21T00:00:00Z
We were welcomed by our host with a friendly welcome, given a tour through the house and received useful tips for how to get around and places to visit or eat. The house is beautiful, spacious, on a beautiful location, in the hills of Tuscany with a small river stream behind the house, the perfect getaway for a relaxing time away from every day stress. I would highly recommend a stay here to everyone!Jan2016-09-26T00:00:00Z
Perfect little house. Completely furnished (only internet missing), only 20min from Firenze, quiet, natural and charming. Ps: awesome bed to sleep inLéo2016-09-17T00:00:00Z

This is a beautiful place and photos cause you to come there. You can cook and have dinner. Supermarket is 25 minutes walk away. However, there were though some inaccuracies in the description. For example, the location and its description isn't accurate. We would not go the place if we knew the exact location, because we had baggage with us. It appears as 10 minutes walk from the main square of Fiesole, though it took us 10 minutes to walk in Fiesole roads and then 15-20 minutes in the dirt road. Wifi didn't work for several hours, then it started to work, but only outside of the place. It was cold at night, so not so pleasant experience. There were no heating while the night was cold. Having electric kettle would be nice.Rami2016-10-09T00:00:00Z
Perfect place for a dream stay. Vat is really friendly and very welcoming. He showed us around his property making us feel at home. The place is simply stunning with a breathtaking view. The apartment was clean and neat. I would definitely stay here again.Mirco2016-07-31T00:00:00Z
I stayed for one night together with my dog Magda at Vat's place. The flat is situated in the wonderful hills close to Florence where you have a breathtaking view on olive trees. The check-in/-out worked perfectly also when Vat wasn't around. Lather I had a lovely talk with him - he really cares about his guests. Thanks a lot for hosting us!Fabiola Fischer2016-08-15T00:00:00Z
Vat was the perfect host. he welcomed us very friendly and invited us into his house. it is a lovely place to stay, after a day of sightseeing to relax in the hills of Fiesole was wonderful for us. highly recommended.Martin2016-07-28T00:00:00Z
Overall, I had a great experience. Vat responded to our request. The home is wonderful. Be sure to have a clear understanding of the directions to the house.Bruce2016-11-13T00:00:00Z
Vat's house is a little trasure sorrounded by the magic nature of the tuscan hills. It is the perfect spot where to spend a few days to explore the area, thank you!Patrizio2016-10-30T00:00:00Z
Our first night in Italy could not have been better! Like a dream! As we were late arriving, Vag kindly waited for us in town to show us the way to his incredible spot, tucked on a hill surrounded by olive trees and grapes- we had the most incredible view! The cottage was cute and comfortable with everything you need! :) Vat was amazing, he was so helpful and friendly telling us about the history of the towns etc. We have not found a better place and will 100% recommend Vat and his home to all our friends!kaila2016-08-13T00:00:00Z
Unfortunately, we only spent two nights at Vats apartment. But nevertheless, we enjoyed our stay in this beautiful area! Vat and his family are very hospitable. He even waited for us in the town center on the evening of our arrival to guide us to his home. Otherwise, we wouldn't have found it since it is a pretty remote location in the middle of vineyards. We would definitely recommend this place!jasmin2016-09-11T00:00:00Z

Staying at Matteos place is a special experience. Contacts about arrival or other questions are rapidly answered. The welcome by his parents is a warm bath. And the appartment is spacious and very comfortable. I stayed here to be able to visit Florence. That went nicely by bus. Don't forget to check out the area as well This place comes with high recommendation. Thanks to you and your parents MatteoIeske2016-02-04T00:00:00Z

I've been with my fiancee at Il Farneto for few days, but was enough to see that this place is very nice, clean, with a beautiful terrace, gigantic garden and easy to find. The room at the second floor is furnished with good taste, the bathroom is very big, and also the living room to, where tyou can find a big tv, mini fridge, Nestresso coffe machine, teaboiler, and lot of thing for breakfast, croissant, water, fruits, biscuits. Matteo is a very nice guy, he let feel us not just guests, but friends. His parents are very gentle, and since I'm a cat-lover, I've really loved their two cats. For sure I'll come back there, because if you have a car, it's super easy going to Florence and enjoy the city. I'll definitely stay again and highly recommend it.Frankino2016-05-22T00:00:00Z
Matteo thank you very much for everything. Beatiful villa in a convenient location for Florence. We had a wonderful time in Florence. We would definitely stay there again.Pınar2016-04-08T00:00:00Z
Matteo was a perfect host making our stay as good as possible. We asked him about the availability at 15:00 and at 16:30 we were already at plc :-) We got all information about the area together with some tips to follow - I HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOLLOWING THEM! Piazzo Santo Spiriti and the terrace on the Hotel Guadagni amazing! We had a glass of red wine there and took our time admiring the breathtaking view. Brunch in Amble - amazing experience, great food and unique atmosphere. However, the best of the best was dinner in Coquinarius - booking required. Really good food and great variety of wines. His place is located just ideally both to find rest and as a starting point for the trips in the area. (2 min walk to the bus stop from which you can reach Florence in 15 min) The view from Fiesole town - must see. His house was amazing, furnished with a good taste, very well - equipped. It was clean and beautiful. Even better than in the pictures! There was everything you can need for breakfast. Coffee machine, tea, water, juices in the fridge, Cornetti, sweets, fruits and a bottle of very good Chianti ;-) We will definitely come there again for some longer period.Justyna2015-09-27T00:00:00Z
We had three special days in villa il Farneto. We did not see Matteo but the hospitality of his parents Susanna and Ricardo was great. We had a whole floor for our own with everything you can wish. The villa is situated in a wonderful surroundings. When you travel by public transport is it not easy to reach the villa. But with the help of the host you will be there. We thank Susanna and Ricardo for the taxiservice. MiekeMieke2016-05-02T00:00:00Z

It is an absolutely outstanding place and we would love to come back. It is even nicer and bigger than on the pictures. All areas are so well planned, from the outside pool to the inside kitchen and common areas. We were two families with three small children and all loved it very much. We had a really relaxing time. Raffaella and her family are so lovely and helpful. Can't recommend this place enough!Sofia2016-09-24T00:00:00Z
We spent a wonderful week in Raffaella and Paolo's house. Raffaella and Paolo offered us warm and kind hospitality, and helped us when needed. The villa is magnificent, probably the most beautiful we ever rent. Everything inside is beautiful and restful, and you can feel quickly that Raffaella is an architect... The garden and swimming pool are great, at anytime of the day and the evening, offering good opportunities for lunches, dinners in front of an amazing view of Firenze. Last but not least, surroundings are beautiful, and one can profit easily of nice walks, villages, delicious coffees and restaurants around the house. We will try to come back, for sure! Thanks a lot for all these great moments in your house, which we will remember with pleasure and emotion... Gracie mille per la vostra ospitalità!Julien2016-07-31T00:00:00Z

Rafaella gave us a very warm welcome...We totally loved the house and it's surroundings.. The house has a big Kitchen a nice fireplace 2 big bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and while it was 30 degrees and higher outside, the house was cool... Her husband Paolo was also very nice and helpful and we even were allowed to take some vegetables from their land to use in the kitchen. We went to the local Coop for our groceries.. We spent our days in the lovely garden at the pool and the sunset in front of the house enjoying a good glass of wine.. On top of the road there's a nice big restaurant with an magnificent view an a wonderful Sunset Paolo told us to go there.. Florence is just a short drive away... We will definitely wish to return here..Vivienne2016-07-06T00:00:00Z

Very good flat. Everthing what is needed. Localization of the flat is not easy to find by GPS or (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps.Joaquim2017-04-03T00:00:00Z
We had a wonderful time staying in Roberto's apartment. From the friendly transfers from and to the airport (managing to fit 4 adults, 1 baby, 4 bags and a pram into his car!) to his kindly driving us to a pizza restaurant and back to the apartment so that we could get some food on the evening we arrived, he was a perfect host. The apartment looks identical to the photos and has pretty much everything you to sleep 4 adults and cook supper. It's located across the road from a fantastic bakery/cafe that serves wonderful pastries and coffee throughout the day, every day, and a local grocery store selling fresh produce. It is also about 30 seconds away from the bus stop connecting you to Florence, with a bus coming every 30 minutes to an hour and the journey taking between 20-40 minutes depending on the bus. You can also get to/from the beautiful ancient Etruscan town of Fiesole from the bus stops too. All in all, a clean and comfortable apartment that is well located just outside Florence and very reasonably priced with a wonderful host!Alexei2016-10-11T00:00:00Z
Roberto and Patricia hosted our stay, they were both polite, honest and very hospitable. They made sure we had everything we needed from extra blanket down to our sugar and tea. We had some questions and they were very accommodating to all our inquiries. The apartment was exactly how it looked on the pictures. It was just enough space for our family of 4 adults and a baby. The rental was close to a nice cafe; perfect for our stay. We highly recommend this place. Thank you very much for your hospitality, Roberto & Patricia!Johanne2016-09-27T00:00:00Z
Mieszkanie jest jest zgodne z opisem i zdjęciami zamieszczonymi na stronie. Czysto schludnie a w mieszkaniu jest wszystko co niezbędne do spędzania kilku dni w Toskanii. Mimo że jedno z łóżek było rozkładane, bardzo wygodnie się na niem spało. Do Florencji łatwo dojechać autobusem. Niedaleko mieszkania jest świetna kawiarnia i mały rodzinny lokal z wędlinami i pizzą "I GEMELLI". Roberto wraz z żoną przesympatyczni i bardzo pomocni. Brakowało nam jedynie WiFi.Dorota2017-03-27T00:00:00Z

La chambre principale est spacieuse et l'armoire gigantesque. Café et supérette à 100m, bus menant à la ville en 10mn à 100m également.

We enjoyed our stay but guys if you are following the GPS to go to Franca's apartment then its of no use as we were cheated by GPS. So its better to contact them before hand to remove last min troubles. Overall stay was superrr. . We enjoyed alot.Ankita2016-11-22T00:00:00Z
My stay was truly wonderful!! From the beginning, my hosts were so kind and accommodating whenever my boyfriend and I missed several trains, resulting in a much later arrival. After we got lost walking from the train station ((SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps led us astray), she came and picked us up in her car and brought us to the apartment. The apartment itself was spacious, clean, and had a great decorating sense. It was comfortable and provided a great weekend getaway from the hustle and bustle of Florence. Would definitely want to stay here again!Bre2017-03-19T00:00:00Z
We arrived late but all was prepared and hosts waited with patience. They prepared crostini and wine so that delay of flight and missed train were forgotten in a second. The flat is spacious, modern and clean. All kitchen equipment was available and we could cook easily. A big supermarket COOP is 5 minutes walk, the small centre as well. Surroundings are beautiful and we had nice walks over Fiesole and Florentine hills. Florence can be reached by train (12min to SMN) or by bus (15min to Le Cure). Flat is perfect for longer stay to see Florence and nice surroundings without hectic. I was there with my wife, but there is space for a 3rd or even 4th person .Andre2016-06-14T00:00:00Z
Lovely and large apartment with all as per description. But, best of all was the help and smiles from Agnese and Cecilia - helped with our every request! As hosts they provided many extras with snacks in the fridge, wine & chocolate. Before leaving, Christina and Luca invited us into their apartment for a lovely and friendly chat which we enjoyed very much- sorry Luca that we did not finish the liquor you poured for us :)Andrew2016-05-04T00:00:00Z

We were made to feel very welcome by Franca. Her son picked us up from the station which was great as it was a hot day. As we arrived on a national holiday, our host kindly gave us some fruit and a salad and also came up the next morning we with some eggs and milk for breakfast. The apartment was quite spacious and very clean. It was also a quick walk to the station with trains running regularly to Florence. A great spot to explore the area from.Sarah2016-08-20T00:00:00Z
Famiglia and her mum are really nice. Private car park, and value suggestion for our dinner. Quite and nice small town, it's well suited to stay for self-driving. Lovely.Sisi2016-10-06T00:00:00Z
We just completed week 1 of our trip in Italy and this by far was the best apartment we stayed at. Very very spacious ... very well furnished ... and the bedroom / bathroom was just perfect. If anything our only regret was we were here just for one night and didn't spend more time here. The apartment is ideal for someone traveling with a car and with family ... the views from the house of the Tuscany countryside are fantastic ... and Franca is a wonderful host. Though we didn't speak Italian, we could still feel the warmth in her tone and welcome, and she invited us to spend more time in the house, which we hope to do when we visit Florence again. Agnes - To you and your sister, thanks for communicating with us on Franca's behalf, and wish you both the very best !!Arvind2016-05-21T00:00:00Z

I really liked this movie. Thought Colin Farrell played the part spot on lol. Great acting all round . Going on my 'ireally like this' list ^^
|Posted by Villain 5 years, 8 months ago
I liked this better than the original. The original was way too cheesy in my opinion and Evil Ed turning into a wolf as a vampire didn't make a lick of sense, either did Jerry's caretaker melting when he was supposed to be human. Does anyone who watched the original know what that was about because it was really random. This remake really made Jerry more badass, I really liked seeing Colin Ferrell hunting down each of his victims. It was just entertaining to see all the gore, the chases, and fights. They changed up a lot about the original to make it more believable. I enjoyed it, didn't have a single dull moment.

I have enjoyed this re-make of the classic movie. Though not completely accurate as expected from a re-make, there were parts and scenes i am positive did not happen or happened differently. A 9/10 for re-makes.

Ok, version 23 sockshare has pretty good quality and the lips are in sync with the sound...I liked it but I think it was a little darker story with less humor...I just felt the actors they had in here werent right for this picture...where as in the first one at least the vampire Chris Sarandon was sexy....Colin F was ok but he just didnt have the sex appeal that I think he needed...I gave it a 6/10 anyway...I think the 1st Fright Hight is better

really disappointed plot was terrible bad acting especially from farrell, poots, collette, could never compare with the original.alot of people seem to like this movie so who am i to judge, watch and see what you think.it's free anyway glad i never payed to see this."there's alot of bad actors out there charlie"! ;)

Very enjoyable remake of the original with some twists and turns and some great cameo's. A little too much glass breaking...turn down the speakers for that...but all in all a 8/10. I would recommend it to family and friends.
|Posted by KelleeWebb 3 years, 7 months ago
I usually don't like remakes, but this was freaking awesome! Colin Farrell was epic as Jerry and loved David Tennant as Peter Vincent. Was glad to see Chris Sarandon (Jerry from the original) had a cameo. Loved him in the original. I give this 2 thumbs up and 5/5. Time to check out the remake of the sequel.

WASHINGTON (AP) " Officials say 19 people have been charged in Europe and the U.S. with taking part in international fraud and money laundering conspiracies costing more than $13 million.
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia said Wednesday in a statement that 17 people have been arrested in New York, Los Angeles, Hungary, Bulgaria, Germany and Israel after several years of investigation. Two others remain at large.
Officials say one scheme operated out of Europe and tricked would-be car buyers who sent money but never got their vehicles. In an outgrowth of that scheme, employees at mid-sized and large companies were tricked into wiring money into accounts controlled by members of the criminal enterprise.

The cream contains extracts such as marshmallow, rose wax for protecting the skin and rose petals for harmonising and healing, and smells a bit as if you are about to rub the entire contents of your grandmother's rose garden into your face. But don't be discouraged; its thick creamy texture feels as if it can only do good. Made by the German company Wala Heilmittel, established in 1924, who excel in developing homeopathic remedies, Dr Hauschka has always seemed to take a back seat in comparison to some of the trendier natural brands such as Aveda and Origins. Maybe this is because of the simple packaging (which could be interpreted by some as drab) or the limited availability; or maybe, as with all good things, the cognoscenti just wanted to keep it secret.

Rated 4 out of 5 by ShoptillIdrop from Very fragile I thought that the beads would be small beads, but they have an art carved appearance to them & did not really look like beads at all. It was dainty & very feminine. However, I wear my jewelry day and night & in the shower & I could definitely see breaking it fairly easy and/or losing it.

Flipping through all the pictures, it all seems so surreal and that kind of makes it appealing. It seems like it would be a very freeing and "spiritual" art experience.

They say third time is the charm!
We ordered the European Breakfast and Home made corned beef to start the day. The smoked salmon and the corned beef are perfectly seasoned, its not too salty so you can still taste the meat. I also love how they made the poached eggs, it has the right amount of vinegar that compliments the creamy egg. We also tried the hot chai latte, I was expecting a latte art but it doesn't have one. It tastes a little grainy but still good.
Alas, I found a strand of hair in my salad... I didn't complain, I just removed it from my food... But I wasn't able to finish it (kinda gross)... I wont be back soon because of this experience but yeah I'd still give them 4/5 stars.

I was a bit snappy that day for the lack of my daily dose. And yeah…my friend got the end of my snappy deal (sorry!!!). But once I had their Orange Infused Cappuccino, I was all in happy mode. I cannot believe how good this was. I was wary of the orange being strong but its taste didn't overpower the espresso. I even saw bits of orange pulps at the bottom of my cup. This indeed is a must-try at this cafe.
I could hardly taste the truffle in those fries but they were good nonetheless. As for the chicken, it was good. I liked the flavor of the breading there. Really crispy and juicy on the inside. I was unsure of the paired ketchup though. Doesn't seem right to dip that chicken in or even the fries. The salad was a nice addition to make their Chicken and Fries dish balanced.
And their Aussie was one hearty meal! Yep, very filling with those ribs, sunny side up eggs, salad and baked beans. This combination seemed like a classic. It's something that's very familiar and just heartwarming. The ribs were very tender and that tangy flavor just oozed in.
The flavor of their White Truffle Pasta was very mild. It might have been overpowered by the other two dishes that were flavorful. It was still a good pasta with a good truffle flavor on it.
What made their Hot Chocolate Cheesecake "hot" was the candied birds eye chili. Well, it only gave that very slight heat but overall, the cheesecake was good. It was of the dark chocolate kind so it wasn't that sweet.
Whatever talks you may have whether it be origins or some good old catching up sesh, this is one of those good venues. It may be gearing towards being pricey but hey, the environment and dishes really make up for that.

Brought my single friends at Single Origin and they loved it!
Saturday morning after the night shift we went directly to BGC to unwind and sakto! this place opens at 7AM.
We ordered the ff:
Flat White PhP160
Parisian PhP395
4 Cheese Grilled Cheese PhP365
Crab Fat Pasta PhP365
Bacon Basket PhP195
Nutella Banana PhP375
The flat white is really good! (a must try) The 4 grilled cheese tasted a bit like keso-de-bola, (eat it while its hot) its very tasty together with the truffle potato chips.
I love the crab pasta the most, you can really taste the crab fat and its not too greasy. (Minus 1 star because we found a strand of plastic straw in our pasta) The bacon basket does not have a basket and its too thick its more like crispy liempo, so you can order rice and its the perfect ulam. The Nutella Banana will send you straight to willy wonka's chocolate factory (back and forth).
We were so full! Try it!

My new chill place with my pabebe friends Norman and Cindy.
Its best to dine here early in the morning, its very relaxing.
We ordered the Valrhona Mocha PhP180, Crab Fat Pasta PhP375, and S.O. Wings PhP 250.
They create great latte art here, perfect for your Instagram.
It tastes really good too, the coco compliments the coffee very well. The crab pasta is a must try, you can taste the generous serving of crab and cheese (you'll feel guilty especially if you're on a diet). The S.O. wings is a little too greasy but the bleu cheese dip will make you think otherwise.
I'll definitely go back!

Lemonade Strawberry Soda with basil is also something new and refreshing.

Went here twice in a week.
Went for coffee first. Tried their salted caramel latte - did not like it hahahaa. But husband ordered Americano and loved it.
Then I went with friends for wine night. On the photo is the sausage platter. Got some pizza wine chicken too. Food is ok 🏻 Although staff are not polite ☹

Newbie hits again! But this time at single origin 🙂 I've been reading and hearing about this place but it was my first time after our dinner at DTF. Since it was already nighttime, it was a bit dark in their outdoor seating area where we were. I don't really know if their specialty is beer or coffee or food (pls enlighten me!) but I just wanted to have some dessert. My friend got a bottle of beer (I forgot the name).
Btw kudos to Crisostomo right next door cos one of my friends wanted sago't gulaman from them and they obliged even though we were sitting at another establishment 🏼 kudos too to the waiter from single origin cos he almost went there himself to order it for us!
Anyways I got the S.O French toast which is their signature French toast with berries and whipped cream. The serving was huge! Really enough to share. Loved the texture of the French toast and the berries weren't too tart.
Hubby got the flat white which came with nice latte art. He said it was good. We were able to transfer inside a little later on but i preferred the atmosphere outside.
The breakfast food looked interesting so I hope
I could try that on my next visit.

I'm a sweets guy so I had tons of fun eating here.
I'm also a fan of breakfast food so I enjoyed the waffles and pancakes, especially the banana nutella pancakes.
I fell in love with their savory dishes, like the crab fat pasta and the white truffle pasta.
The drinks were surprisingly good! The reposado margarita was refreshing, and I'm looking forward to trying the French lavender 75 cocktail next.

I've been hearing about the good coffee and food that Single Origin offers for months now and I finally had the chance to try it out on a week night with the husband. We went to Tim Ho Wan for dinner and we decided to get some coffee from Single Origin.
When we got there, the place was packed even if it was already late. The place was a little dim but had this homey ambiance. They used a lot of wood elements in their interiors coupled with bricks. Shelves filled with wine and beer on one side while another one filled with coffee gadgets on the other side of the wall. They also have this huge black board that serves as their menu board. Chill and relaxed - that's the main atmosphere here.
On our first visit, we simply got two cups of joe -- Mocha and Orange Infused Cappuccino.
> Valrhona Mocha for 180Php (8oz) hot | 195Php (16oz) cold
One mean cup of warm mocha right here! Strong coffee with sour notes, a little bitter and very little sweetness - this will certainly keep you awake for hours! I loved the deep flavor of the Valrhona chocolate, not something that's from a very sweet chocolate syrup or a mocha sauce.
> Orange Infused Cappuccino for 185Php (8oz)
Espresso x milk that's been infused with orange and then dusted with cocoa. I was expecting some citrus kick here from the orange but there was none. There wasn't even a hint of orange from the aroma. On the other hand, the coffee was strong with sour notes.
On my second visit, I went for a pasta dish a another cup of joe.
> Gibraltar for 150Php (5.5oz)
Gibraltar was my choice of coffee. Served in a rock glass, this one had espresso in it and textured milk. I loved this more than the other two coffee that I've tried on our first visit. This was strong, had the right ratio of milk, bitter, some fruity and sour end notes. It was perfect!
> Crab Fat Pasta for 350Php
I think I found my favorite seafood pasta. I can proudly recommend this pasta if you want something that's light and flavorful. There was generous amount of crab fat here so you'll get the full flavor plus it has scallops and shrimps. Finished off with shavings of Parmesan cheese, I made sure to clean up my bowl with the garlic bread.
Single Origin has an extensive menu. They have pasta, waffles, French toasts, pancakes, burger, meat, rice meals and even baked rice. There's just so much to choose from! Service was on point as well. Servers were attentive and always on the look out for empty glasses. Great experience on both visits! Definitely going back for more.

#JLJustLanded recommends:
Chicken and Fries
-- 3 pcs fried chicken and truffle fries (apparently though, fries were out of stock when we ordered thus replaced by truffle chips)
White Truffle Pasta
-- with bacon, mushroom, poached egg and truffle oil. As Lance's ultimate fave is anything white sauce, he gave this a 3/5. Not bad, eh?

Post dinner drinks with the K's. My drink was recommended by Jayson. I found it too sour for my liking. Forgot what it was called.
Haven't tried the food. I have not returned since this visit last March. But it seems like a nice place to have a few (or a couple more) drinks.
Drink is a 3. Extra star for the place.
Sorry, ito na mag credit nyo.

Green Mojito with or without alcohol
Without alcohol for 180PhP
Refreshing. Minty. Limey.
With rhum additional 100PhP
Aghast about the additional. Should have been informed. Lol. Anyway, this one is a little bitter and cringy taste at the end. Diminished refreshing feel.
Those sexy plastic glasses are Lexi M 's and Kristin A 's
We laughed a little after hearing the plastic sound after a toast.

To call it a night, get ready for this, we submitted ourselves to a single swig of alcohol. K had classic mimosa, J had mojitos and as for me, I had French lavender 75 as it got me curious. I love how spacious the restaurant/cafe is. It has a very rustic vibe, high ceiling and engaging staff. Since it was already quite late in the evening, there weren't that many customers inside so we had good conversations before closing. I can't thank enough Jayson J. and Kristin A. for sharing a spare of their time despite their hectic schedule. Just one of the reasons why I love looloo.

Look at this latte art. I was first surprised of how the heart latte art went wrong but thanks to creative minds we made it a fish.
honey latte
Oh no. This just taste ordinary. The organic honey was not recognized that much. I suggest you go get a plain latte instead of this.
Well, this place got a nice ambience. Good for unwinding after work especially if you had a stressful day-- soul chill music and dim lights.

If you stick to your Drs ordered dose, it is unlikely you will have respiratory depression. Respiratory depression is more likely when people take more than they are supposed to. If you stick to the maximum dose or less, you shouldn't have any problems. Pain can have adverse effects on ones body too. It causes the heart to beat faster and elevates blood pressure putting a strain on the heart! Plus it elevates cortisol levels in the body.
