The site location should be at the mark shown -- or very close. Clicking within the map area (or you can drag the 'CXMG' marker) will display the latitude/longitude of that point.
If the displayed location (or elevation) of the weather observing location is incorrect, please drag the marker to the right location (or click in the right location), and then send the updated information. Please note that we are trying to spot either the Stevenson Screen (or equivalent) or the location where the barometric readings are taken.
Can you help with location quality? Please indicate if the marker on the map points at the weather instrument cluster:
The location information for this site was gathered from 9 data sources. The source which most closely matches the consensus is chosen. Many of these sources only report the location to the nearest minute (or hundredth of degree). This can lead to the marker being placed noticeably incorrectly. Please see Discussion of Location Errors for more information. Show location history.
Latitude: dummy (deg min sec), dummy (decimal), dummy (LORAN)

Recent observations from this weather station can be downloaded as a CSV file suitable for importing into various spreadsheet programs: last 7 days, last 14 days, last 28 days, last 56 days. This data can also be linked directly from Excel using a Web Query. The main link goes to the page with the data on it, and the IQY link is the Web Query that will access it: last 7 days (IQY: last 7 days), last 14 days (IQY: last 14 days), last 28 days (IQY: last 28 days), last 56 days (IQY: last 56 days).
All the means and standard deviations shown below are from the last 28 days. Change analysis period to Last 3 days Last 7 days Last 14 days Last 8 weeks Last 13 weeks Last 26 weeks Last 39 weeks Last 52 weeks
By default, the longer analysis periods display graphs that show the long term performance of this station. The graphs show the mean error over time, and include error bars which are one standard deviation long. This provides an easy way to see if there are any underlying trends in the data. Note that a 'step' in your data does not (necessarily) mean that something happened to your station. It could mean that another station came online in the local area, and they are changing the analysis.
The analysis is performed by MADIS. This web page just provides visualization of the data that MADIS produces. There are a number of very knowledgeable people who participate on the WXQC Mailing List who do understand exactly how MADIS works and can resolve issues when the analysis seems to be broken. However, in most cases, the station readings are at fault, or the software that is transmitting the data to CWOP. Please check those paths first.
You can also see how this station compares with other stations.
A recently received weather report from this station was
NOTE: If the error above is POSITIVE, then it means that the analysis temperature is HIGHER than the reported temperature. This means that your sensor is reading COLDER than expected. |
Latest daily graph:
These values are within the acceptable range. This probably means that your sensor is sited correctly and is calibrated correctly.
NOTE: If the error above is POSITIVE, then it means that the analysis temperature is HIGHER than the reported temperature. This means that your sensor is reading COLDER than expected. |
Latest daily graph:
These values are within the acceptable range. This probably means that your sensor is sited correctly and is calibrated correctly.
The wind vector is the average wind over the relevant period. Note that if the wind blows North for half the time at 2 knots, and then blows South for the other half of the time at 2 knots, then the result is zero -- i.e. North wind and South wind will cancel out. Over time, the direction of the wind and of the analysis should match pretty well. If the lengths of the vector are different, then it could mean either that your anemometer reads high or low, or that you are in a more shielded or more open space. |

You can look at those for comparison purposes. The average difference between your station and each station below is listed as well. This may allow you to detect local stations which are erroneous. You can also use these numbers to adjust your instruments -- especially if a number of ASOS stations have similar differences to your station. Also, try increasing the analysis period to more than the default 28 days. The difference is only given if both stations report reasonably often during each day. Some stations only report every 6 hours, and this makes the average of less interest. In this case, the average is not displayed. The values reported are the differences between this station and the neighboring station. I.e. if the difference is positive, then this station is reading higher than the neighboring station.

Inheritance, Wills and Probate
Time and again, mediation has proved to be the ideal way of resolving a dispute without depleting the estate with the cost of litigation. The mediation forum gives family members the chance to understand one another even though if they choose not to meet on the day, when relationships are too fractured or emotional.
Our mediators regularly deal with:
- claims under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependents) Act 1975
- allegations of undue influence and fraud in inter vivos and testamentary dispositions
- allegations of invalid procedure or fraud
- allegations regarding mental capacity
- disputed powers of attorney
- negligent drafting of wills
- disputes as to the validity of alternative wills or codicils

This was the BEST part of our Italy trip. The dinners were made by Gabriella with such care- using ingredients from their farm- they were literally the best meals I have ever had in my life. In addition to the excellent dinners, Paulo & Gabriella and their dogs lala, pepa and tommy were wonderful to be around and very weloming. It felt like we were invited into their home. My husband and I relaxed in the garden amidst a beautiful Tuscan landscape. Our room was above the kitchen and it was clean, picturesque, and had a gorgeous view of the countryside. There was plenty of places to walk and I was able to go swimming 3 days that I was there. We went for walks around the countryside and even bought honey straight from a bee farm. Il Casale offers wine on tap and has a very inviting atmosphere. I only wish that it was closer so that we could come more often!
(EMAIL HIDDEN)2013-09-28T00:00:00ZPaolo and Gabriella 和他們的狗都非常的熱情的接待我們。每天Gabriella都會新鮮現做早餐和晚餐,傳統道地的義大利家庭菜讓我們難以忘懷。即使是炎熱的夏天,房子依舊很涼爽,晚上滿天的星星,超級棒的按摩池,漂亮的泳池所有的一切都讓我們的假期完全放鬆。如果有對烹飪有興趣的人,一定要跟Gabriella上cooking class絕對讓你收穫良多:) Paolo and Gabriella and their dogs gave us an enthusiastic welcoming when we arrived. Gabriella used fresh food to make us traditional Italian dishes every lunch and dinner; it is unforgettable. Even in hot summer the kitchen is filled with cool air, sky full of stars, a wonderful jacuzzi, and the beautiful swimming pool made us felt relaxed in this journey. Anyone who is interested in coming must take the cooking lesson with Gabriella, it will make you learn more than you could imagine. :)
Tina2016-09-04T00:00:00ZUn grand merci à Paolo et sa femme pour ce magnifique week end en dans la campagne toscane. La maison est authentique, le jacuzzi très agréable et le repas somptueux.
Marine2015-05-17T00:00:00ZLovely old farmhouse. Delicious dinner. The pool and spa are beautiful! Unfortunately on the night we stayed the cooking lesson wasn't available which was quite disappointing as this was one of the reasons for booking but the dinner that night was delicious regardless.
Hannah2014-08-26T00:00:00ZWe spent 2 nights at Casale il Caggio and it was an amazing experience... They have such a beautiful place with an impressive pool and hot tub that we enjoyed a lot after long day visiting around... It is really well located to visit the South of Tuscany, Sienna, Montepulciano, Cortone... The best part was the hospitality of Paolo and Gabriella!!! They make us feel confortable, and we had 2 dinners there and they were amazing. We also took the cooking lesson that was so much fun and simple with incredible results...The breakfast was insane, so fresh and tasty, it was like a brunch in a big hotel but even better since everything was handmade!! Incredible, if you have the chance to book there, don't miss it!!
robert2013-08-01T00:00:00ZAmazing stay in Tuscany. The epitome of what I would think anyone would call a classic Tuscan experience...from the lovely grounds to Gabriela's wonderful cooking class. My first afternoon there I relaxed in my room with the shutters/windows open with the wind blowing in...doesn't get much better. This is exactly what I was looking for. I wish I had more time there to use the pool, hot tub, and rest of the grounds but that will have to be next time. I met a wonderful Swedish family while staying there that made my time there even more delightful. Paolo was kind and usually busy taking care of the property. To be noted, they both speak English but it is somewhat limited so if you're a purely English speaker you're not going to find much of a conversation partner in them if traveling alone. Thankful for the other guests company during my stay. I'd recommend this lovely home again and again to those visiting this amazing region.
shannen2012-06-22T00:00:00ZWe had a wonderful stay at peaceful, serene Casale il Caggio! It's a little hard to find from the Autostrada, but after some trial and error driving on gravel roads around corn and sunflower fields, we found it! The room is in the typical Tuscan country style and the grounds were gorgeous. Paolo keeps sheep, goats, chickens, pigeons, and canaries, and it's fun to be around a working farm if you're city folk like us. During our stay, we mostly enjoyed being lazy in the yard reading while petting their extremely friendly dog, Peppa. (They have 2 others - one is 20 years old! - and a cat.) The best part of all was Paolo's mineral hot tub jacuzzi, which we tried to stay in as much as possible. You'll absolutely love it! Gabriella, his wife, was very nice and we both took her amazing cooking class in the kitchen. It's definitely worth it to watch a master at work, but warning: do not eat all day before the dinner! You're going to want to have an empty stomach, since it's 8 whole courses! We were absolutely stuffed! Basically, if you're looking to get away from it all, slow down, and experience life in the Tuscan countryside, this is the place to do it. Highly recommended!
Randy2014-09-23T00:00:00ZWe stayed three nights at this wonderful Tuscan farmhouse and we simply can't praise it enough. We stayed in a spacious room in the main stone house, with a beautiful view of the farm and the distant green hills. The room and private bathroom were perfectly comfortable. A lovely breakfast of freshly baked cakes, fresh cut fruit, juice, cappuccino/expresso..etc, and several other dishes are provided with the room price. You could actually smell the cakes and bread baking in the morning. .. The pool is also awesome, especially on a hot afternoon. The farmhouse is about 10 minutes from Monte San Savino, and it's easy to find if you follow the directions. It's no different than traveling to any rural destination. Monte San Savino and nearby Cortona are worth visiting. The best part of our stay was the hospitality, Gabriella and Paolo are incredible hosts. In addition to running an amazing place they are the sweetest people and passionate about what they do. We highly recommend the dinners, we joined them for dinner every night for a multi course meal made from fresh local ingredients. Paolo raises chicken and lamb on the farm and obtains his wine from local vineyards. Gabriella cooks everything to perfection - all right there! We could not ask for a more lovely and authentic experience.

Wir waren für 2 Wochen in dem Haus von Luisa /Casadelgatto). Es hat uns sehr gefallen. Die Lage ist perfekt für Ausflüge in die Toskana. Luisa ist sehr hilfbereit, freundlich und nett. Falls es Fragen gibt, hilft sie gerne. Für ein paar Worte zwischendurch hat sie immer Zeit. Trotzdem ist sie diskret und lässt einem die Ferien geniessen. Der Pool ist schön gross und für eine Abkühlung ideal. Der schöne Garten und der Schattenplatz laden zum verweilen ein. Das Essen kann man problemlos draussen geniessen, auch ein Glas Wein am Abend und ein Mitternachtsbad sind möglich. Wir haben die Ferien sehr genossen, und können Luisa und ihr Haus nur empfehlen. Mille grazie :-)
Bruno2016-07-24T00:00:00ZLa dolce vita... Nous avons passé un séjour de rêve à la villa de Luisa ! C'était tout ce que nous cherchions pour passer des vacances idéales et tout était au rendez-vous : calme, détente, piscine, village à proximité, paysages de cartes postales... et que dire de Luisa notre hôtesse : sa présence discrète et chaleureuse ajoute un plus indeniable à notre séjour : Luisa est une personne merveilleuse très douce et attentionnée à l'image de sa maison et de son jardin pleins de charmes. Nous disposions de l'appartement indépendant situé au 1er étage de la maison et avions également à notre disposition une partie du jardin où nous pouvions prendre les repas. Nous nous sommes tout de suite sentis chez nous et c'était très agréable. Une chose est certaine nous reviendrons à la casadelgatto ! ### The Dolce Vita... We had a dream stay in Luisa's villa! It was all that we looked for to spend ideal holidays and everything was there: peace, relaxation, swimming pool, village nearby, landscapes of postcards... And what to say about Luisa our hostess: her discreet and warm presence adds more undeniable one in our stay: Luisa is a very kind and thoughtful wonderful person just like her house and like her garden full of charms. We had the independent apartment situated on the 1st floor by the house and had also at our disposal a part of the garden where we could take the meals. We felt right away like at home and it was very pleasant. One thing's for sure we shall return to the casadelgatto!
Laurence2016-08-06T00:00:00ZFantastische Ambiente, gute Einrichtung auch wenn es nicht modern war, es hat einen speziellen Scharm vermittelt. Toller Garten, Pool, himmlische Ruhe, erstklassige, reife Feigen im Garten - was will man mehr?
Otto Gábor2016-09-23T00:00:00ZAlong with my partner, we have spent a week in the upstairs apartment : It was absolutely the best choice of Tuscany! Luisa was very, very kind. She give us a warm welcome, speaks very good English and also gave us enough space and privacy during our stay. We used the pool, had breakfast and lunch in the garden and Luisa was so kind to introduce her friend Rosanne for a typical Italian corso di cusina. We had our own place in the garden to sit and eat. Luisa created a nice terrace with shadow. There are also nice relax chairs for chilling at the pool. During our stay we feel very pleasant by using the pool garden and beautifully decorated apartment. The view is great. The house and the apartment are more beautiful then the pictures would tell. To visit Monte San Savino you can walk (25 min) or drive by car in 5 minutes. Monte san savino is a charming town with good restaurants and nice things to see. Supermarket is nearby and it's a good location to visit Siena (there oak the B-road, beautiful), Lago Trasimeno, Arezzo, Montepulciano, Cortona etc. We can only recommend this place!
Susan2016-09-03T00:00:00ZLuisa was very friendly and welcoming, spoke quite good English, and gave excellent dining and travel advice for the whole Region. The 13 course degustation in San Savino which she booked us into was the best dinner I have ever had and not to be missed by anyone.
nigel2016-09-07T00:00:00ZPosto molto bello, in una posizione strategica tra Arezzo e Siena, vicino alle terme di Rapolano. Appartamento delizioso, intimo e ben curato con un'anima vintage. Molto accogliente anche il giardino. Luisa è speciale, un'artista estrosa, sempre disponibile e capace di guidarti alla scoperta dei luoghi più belli e interessanti della zona. Un'esperienza da provare assolutamente.
Marco2017-01-08T00:00:00ZWe stayed for 10 days in Casadelgatto, Monte San Savino and had a wonderful vacation in this lovely house. The house is in a lovely part of Tuscany in between Sienna and Arezzo. It is a lovely region with beautiful cities, romantic villages, an abundance of art and nature. Luisa's house is special in many ways. It has a beautiful view on the village, a lovely garden with a swimming pool. We loved the interior of the house with a lot of antique furniture and its lovely atmosphere in which we could relax. Luisa is an warm person, who made us feel very welcome and very much at home. She, her brother and her friends, gave many good and practical recommendations on where to go and what to visit. Luisa has a lot of knowlege of art, which helped us find our way. She is indeed a superhost. We felt sorry to leave her and her lovely house. We give a warm recommendation to rent this house.

An idyllic few days in Daniel's beautiful villa! The apartment was exactly as described and an excellent base for exploring Tuscany. Daniel was a charming host, and the apartment was very well equipped with everything you might need. We hope to visit again one day! Steve and Hannah
Steve2016-09-07T00:00:00ZDaniel and Manuela were the most fantastic hosts and we were warmly welcomed by them on arrival and then left in our peaceful apartment knowing that they were only a phone call away if we needed anything. The accommodation is tastefully decorated and has the most amazing view! We had been left a bottle of superb home-made red wine and invited to pick the figs from the amazing tree next to our rooms. Everything was left ready for us to use, the fantastic stone built barbecue and everything for the washing machine was supplied and the cupboards were stocked with fine coffee and olive oil etc. We could not have been more comfortable in this tranquil spot in beautiful Tuscany set amongst olive groves and vineyards, yet only 20 minutes walk into the lovely old hilltop town of Monte San Savino, which also has has some superb local restaurants which our hosts kindly recommended. This is the perfect spot to relax after visiting nearby Tuscan towns and yet is close to the rich culture of the region. We even had friendly visits from the adorable family dog Spotty. This was a wonderful place which we were sad to leave - we hope to return!
Geoffrey2016-09-16T00:00:00ZWe loved this charming villa. It was a pleasure to stay. Quaint interior. Stunning views. Host was very helpful. Great place to set off on day trips. Monte san savino is also a great town. We will miss it.
Christine2016-10-01T00:00:00ZOur stay at Villa Ceppeto was incredible! Daniel was fantastic, and really made our holiday by giving us some great information on Tuscany and local recommendations. The villa is beautiful and has a truly stunning view. We had several BBQ's just to eat there and be able to enjoy it! The villa is a perfect location for travelling around Tuscany. It is also perfectly located to walk into Monte San Savino. I would highly recommend a stay here!!
sarah2015-09-10T00:00:00ZWir wurden sehr herzlich begrüßt. Die Aussicht und der Garten sind traumhaft. Genauso wie man sich die Toskana vorstellt. Bei anhaltendem Regen ist die Wohnung ein wenig beengt, dafür gibt es aber genug Ausflugsmöglichkeiten in der Nähe. Wir haben einige Empfehlungen vom Gastgeber bekommen. Bei Sonne ist die schattige Terrasse und der Grill ideal. Auch der Ort is sehr charmant. Wir haben die Zeit in der Villa Cepeto dort sehr genossen.
Isabella2016-06-24T00:00:00ZWe had a wonderful stay, a little piece of paradise. Daniel, Manuela and Spotty the dog were great hosts, and the homemade wine and tiramisu were appreciated too. Great views to Monte San Savino, and the restaurant 10 mins down the road was fabulous too. Didn't want to come home.
Rachel2016-07-11T00:00:00ZPerfect place! Scenic, peaceful, and extremely charming. Idyllic for a week's stay in Tuscany. Everything as advertised and better! The cute little town of Monte San Savino is just a short stroll away through the fields, so you can easily go out for a nice dinner. Also, Daniel was very accommodating and welcoming - and all communication worked smoothly. We strongly recommend it!
Monte San Savino, Toscana 52048, อิตาลี
Mirco and Valeria, who own the house, were so welcoming and generous with their hospitality. Nothing was too much of a problem and they went out of their way to make our stay comfortable and memorable. They gave us great recommendations of things to do and places to see. They even popped by a couple of times with fresh fruit and veg, grown by themselves, for us! Yum! The house is perfect. It's been beautifully renovated. There is one double room, one twin room, and a double sofa bed in the lounge if needed. It's in a quiet location (car definitely required) and the views of the sunset over the valley from the patio are stunning. Unfortunately Monika, the agent, hadn't accurately listed all charges (deposit, cleaning charge and air conditioning charge), but I think this has now been rectified on the page. Nevertheless, good communication ensured that all ran smoothly. Thank you all for a wonderful stay!
Ruth2016-07-24T00:00:00ZOne word to describe Casina del Biondo:perfezione!! Mirco and Valeria were so endearing and welcoming. We were greeted with a basket of their garden's vegetables, eggs, and family-made olive oil and cider (and a few days later we had another basket at the door!). We hadn't even stepped into the house and already felt at home! It's a fantastic place to stay if you're road tripping through Tuscany and want both a peaceful getaway with a view out of the city center, and a place that is ideally situated nearby quaint towns for daytrips.While Monte San Savino wasn't necessarily a highlight of a town to visit, it is a hop away from Lucignano, and very close to Siena, Cortona, Montepulciano, etc, and is ideally situated near the Val d'Orcia. We spent an entire day driving through this picturesque area, stopping in 5 towns, from Montelcino to Pienza, with many cities and restaurants visited thanks to the recommendation of our gracious hosts. You'll definitely want a car, to get around locally and branch out. This house is impeccably clean and newly renovated. You can clearly see the love and thought put into the restoration—exposed original beams, antique-style lighting, fabulous bathroom pieces, beautiful bedding. It comes with what you need to make it your own. Terrace dining, in-kitchen dining, jacuzzi, patio furniture and umbrellas, an equipped BBQ, kitchen (with their garden's production) that invites you to cook your own Tuscan dinner, two very nice bathrooms, spacious living room, roomy garage and gated driveway, olive groves to wander behind the house, washing machine, and A/C in the bedrooms. The house was quite warm, particularly the bedrooms, but with the windows open you can get a nice breeze, and AC units in the bedrooms were very nice to have. During our stay we had a few hiccups, which only gave flavor to our Tuscan adventure, and they were no problem with such helpful hosts. There was a lightning storm that took out the power (life happens), but within 5min Mirco was at the house to turn everything back on. Unfortunately,the storm fried the motherboard of the jacuzzi, but Mirco had it repaired quickly.The storm also shut off the gate's power, and we didn't find out until the next day as we were ready to head out on a day trip. It set us back an hour, but we didn't mind because our hosts were so helpful and kind. They were always a call away.Casina del Biondo is a dream getaway, affordable, comfortable, and the hosts made the trip even more memorable. They offered to help load our car,gave recommendations of towns and restaurants to visit--breaking out the maps--and at the end didn't charge us the pet or AC usage fees because of the storm hiccups.We loved our visit, our dog loved it, and we can't wait to do it again!Thank you so very much, Mirco and Valeria. We have already recommended your home to everyone we've shared our Tuscan stories with! Ciao from Berlino!
Savannah2016-09-29T00:00:00ZNous avons été ravis de notre séjour. La maison correspondait à nos attentes et les propriétaires étaient charmants: ils nous ont offerts à plusieurs reprises des légumes de leur jardin et se sont montrés constamment disponibles si nécessaire. Le plus de cette maison: elle est très bien située (proche des routes et autoroutes notamment) ce qui facilite les visites sans faire trop de voiture. La région est magnifique!
Laurent2016-08-21T00:00:00ZWe were met at the house by the owners, Mirco and Valeria. They were very gracious and made us immediately feel welcomed. They walked us trough the house and showed us all we needed to settle in. They also provided lots of literature on local attractions, restaraunts, etc. We chatted for quite some time and conversation was pretty easy since both speak some English. The house was amazing and offered beautiful views from the terrace and windows. The house is well furnished and outfitted with everything we needed for our stay. Since the house was just recently refurbished, all contents and finishes are essentially new, and state of the art. The location of the house is perfect for sight seeing in central Tuscany. The A1 toll road is located about 10 minutes away, Arezzo is about a 25 minute drive, and the village of Monte San Savino is about 2 kilometers from the house. Groceries, gasoline, pharmacy, etc. are all within a 5 or 10 minute drive from the house. The hosts, Mirco and Valeria, were marvelous. They checked in with us several times during our stay to make sure we were having a good time. Valeria also brought us produce, olive oil, wine, cantucci, etc. all made/grown by her family. They exceeded my expectations in every category. My wife and I have stayed at several vacation rentals in Italy and elsewhere over the last several years. This rental was far and away the best in all regards. I highly recommend this rental for 2 to 4 people looking for a quiet, centrally located taste of Tuscan country living!! Mirco and Valeria are the best hosts you'll ever find!!

1.) The Stay was wonderful! 2.) we arrived very late, much later than advised. As everybody arrived hungry and without an open supermarket nearby, Giancarla cooked a delicious Dinner for all of us! 3.) The House, the View, absolutely great! 4.) Giancarlas Daughter, who speaks good english, was available all the time via (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN). 5.) Bring some repellant, because by the pool there were quite a few Mosquitos.

Nous avons passé un très bon séjour en Toscane. Mirjam est une hôte accueillante, disponible et qui vous donne de bons conseils pour la visite de la région. La maison est vraiment conforme à la description et tout est fait pour que l'on s'y sente bien. Je recommande ce logement.
Isabelle2016-08-19T00:00:00ZMirjam is a great host. She provided us with her wonderful house in the center of Tuscanian hills. It is a fashinating place, within a hour by car from Siena, the Chianti area, Florence, Cortona, Arezzo. The house itself is beautiful and fully furnished with all the comforts. It has a wonderful view on the medieval hamlet of Monte San Savino. I definitely recommend it. __________________________________________ Mirjam è una persona eccellente. Abbiamo affittato la sua magnifica casa nel cuore delle colline Toscane. é un posto meraviglioso, a meno di un'ora di macchina da Siena, l'area del Chianti, Firenze, Cortona e Arezzo. La casa è meravigliosa e completamente attrezzata per ogni necessità, ed ha una vista meravigliosa sul borgo medievale di Monte San Savino. La consiglio a tutti.
Andrea2017-01-03T00:00:00ZMirjam is an extremely welcoming and kind host. It was a genuine pleasure to stay at her place which I highly recommend to anyone visiting Monte San Savino.
Weronika2016-11-15T00:00:00ZMirjam is a very positive and hospitable person. Her house is beautiful. Perfect for 5 adult persons. A little bit cold in November (especially mornings), with turned on radiators it was much more comfortable. View of the surrounding countryside is just breathtaking. Coffee/tea drunk in the morning with the view for Monte San Savino is something wonderful. House is located aside, walk to Monte takes about 20-25 minutes. We highly recommend staying in Mirjam's house.
Marta2015-11-12T00:00:00ZAccueil chaleureux, maison largement à la hauteur de nos espérance et emplacement parfais sur une des collines de la Valdichiana. Je recommande vivement cet hébergement. Merci beaucoup Mirjam et à une prochaine fois j'espère !
Hugo2016-08-05T00:00:00ZOttimo, casa pulita e silenziosa nella periferia di Monte S, Savino l'alloggio dispone di tutti i confort segnalati nell'annuncio, (aggiungerei) nei momenti di relax si può usufruire di una gradevolissima vista sulla valle. La Sig. a Mirjam ci ha raccolto con simpatia e cordialità, ringraziamo la Sig. a Mirjam per l'accoglienza e le chiacchierate trascorse nella tranquillità del suo orto. Grazie Maurizio e Donatella M.
maurizio2015-05-27T00:00:00ZMirjam é stata une super guest che ci ha accolti con il sorriso in una bella casa pulitissima con un bel giardino e una bella vista. Assolutamente niente da ridire!
Armonia2016-10-21T00:00:00ZCasa muy acogedora y muy bien situada para recorrer la Toscana. Tiene todo lo necesario para sentirte como en tu casa. Con un jardín muy bonito y bien cuidado donde podías relajarte después de una jornada de turismo. Las fotografías del anuncio no hacen justicia con la casa, es mucho más bonita que las fotografías publicadas. Y que podemos decir de Mirjam, persona encantadora que nos ha acogido como si fuéramos de su familia. Además como guía turística que es, nos aconsejó estupendamente que rincones visitar de la Toscana. Sin duda la recomendaría a todos aquellos que deseáis pasar unos días en la Toscana.

KaatL'appartamento al piano di sopra è molto carino e curato nei dettagli. Fornito di praticamente tutto. Manuela e Daniele disponibili e gentili. La zona è piena di cose da vedere e ristoranti ottimi. Unica nota da fare è sul riscaldamento che è da pagare a parte e la cifra addebitata è di 4€ a metro cubo.
giulia2017-01-02T00:00:00ZDaniel and Manuela we excellent hosts who provided us with everything we needed including privacy. Very helpful, gracious and personable. Wonderful property centrally located for easy Tuscan day trips. Highly recommend this listing.
Steve2016-11-02T00:00:00ZSuper accueil de Daniel et Manuela dans une magnifique maison toscane, dans un cadre campagnard calme, tout en étant proche de sites à visiter. Tout était prêt dans la maison pour nous accueillir et la maison était bien équipée. Des indications précises nous avaient été envoyées par Daniel pour rejoindre la maison. Parfait.
Nicolas2016-11-12T00:00:00ZGrazie per la magnifica accoglienza!un posto unico immerso nel verde e con una bellissima vista sul borgo di monte San Savino. Bello visitare questi posti anche fuori stagione, magari nel periodo di raccolta delle olive! I padroni di casa molto gentili ed ospitali.
Marzia2016-11-04T00:00:00ZAbsolutely wonderful villa in the hills, walking distance from Monte San Savino! We loved everything including resident dog Spotty, the villa, pool and grounds. Host Daniel was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Great facilities, perfect for two couples. We will be back!
Luke2016-07-04T00:00:00ZAmazing location near a thousand things to do. Daniel & Manuela are superb host and the grounds as well as the apartment are breath taking. Our toddler felt right at home. We recommend this rental for anyone in need of a beautiful Tuscan view. 4 nights was not nearly enough and judging by their guest book comments, a 3-week stay hardly does it justice. You'll want to come back.
Mieka2016-09-18T00:00:00ZL endroit est extraordinaire, l accueille très chaleureux. Les hôtes nous ont même offert vin et huile d olive de leur propre production. Aucuns soucis tout est pensé en fonction du confort de leurs clients. 5/5 sur tout les points.

We had a wonderful time at Julia's. The house was just as we imagined and it completed perfectly our honeymoon. Julia was a great host, she met us when we arrived and helped us with everything that we needed. If you are looking for a cute place in Tuscany, then Monte San Savino and Julia's place is what you are looking for!
Marian2015-10-31T00:00:00ZJulia was very accommodating with our late check-in time and the flat was exactly as described. The location was perfect for us to drive around Tuscan villages and it was another home to come back to after a long day - e.g. we drove 10+ hours everyday during our three days in Tuscany. Would highly recommend.
Sam2016-10-02T00:00:00ZОтличное тихое место в 2-3 км от города. Спасибо Джулии за прекрасную и уютную атмосферу, гостеприимство и заботу. Джулия сделала наше пребывание в Тоскане незабываемым. В доме два этажа. Нижний этаж отведён для пребывания гостей, присутствует отопление. Гостевая часть включает кухню, спальню, проходную комнату с диваном, санузел. Есть выход на небольшую веранду, где можно отведать утреннего кофе или тосканского вина в компании Юлия Цезаря ). Прекрасные виды из окон на тосканские холмы. Есть парковочное место. А ещё мы с Джулией ходили на охоту на гигантских скорпионов... Ночью, взяв факелы и вилы мы пошли в город. По дороге в город к нам присоединялись жители из окрестностей с факелами, вилами и ружьями... когда огромная огненная людская толпа пришла на площадь, то не застала гигантских скорпионов. Толпа пришла в замешательство, но тут площадь озарило яркое пламя! Это был дракон Ла-Тринита!... Если хотите узнать, что было дальше, приезжайте в гости к Джулии! ))
Alexey2016-11-07T00:00:00ZWe had such a wonderful stay at Julia's place, and sincerely regretted not being able to stay longer! Such a tranquil setting and so tastefully and comfortably furnished. By far our favorite apartment (and host!) and the comfiest bed. We had a wonderful meal by a castle on the hill (at Julia's recommendation) and this was truly the ideal resting place between all the busy towns we visited during the day. Surrounded by sunflower fields, orchards and olive groves. Highly recommended!!
lucy2014-08-02T00:00:00ZNous sommes restés quelques jours dans l'appartement au rez-de-chaussée pour avoir du calme et redécouvrir cette partie de la Toscane. Julia est disponible et discrète. Nous aurions aimer avoir un vue plus dégagée et un appartement mieux insonorisé mais nous sommes content de l'ensemble de notre séjour. Merci Julia!
Mounir2015-08-26T00:00:00ZJulia was a fantastic host. She met up with us quickly, despite our incorrect arrival spot and iffy time of arrival. Such a gorgeous property, lovely pets... We both wish we could have stayed so much longer! She communicated well, was a joy to chat with and had such great recommendations... she even lent us her GPS (Brilliant!) Property was as described and pictured. Can't say enough good things!
Carey2015-10-01T00:00:00ZMonte San Savino is a beautiful old town that is not to be missed on your travel itinerary. It is very old and beautiful with great restaurants and gelaterias. Julia is a great host and very helpful if needed. She is also invisible if that is what you require. That apartment is large with everything you need for a comfortable stay. You will need a car as it is a bit out of town but Julia has made that clear.
Ricky2014-08-27T00:00:00ZGot off to a difficult start due to getting lost. Once there, ok, with a beautiful job of restoration on an old stone structure. Very well furnished in kitchen and appreciated use of washing machine. Friendly dog spent time with us during lightning storm. Good directions to area sights and appreciated local map. Beautiful region to explore and attended amazing cooking class in area.

Vi blev godt modtaget og vist rundt. Huset er enormt hyggeligt og er præcis som forventet. Gode sengepladser og tilstrækkeligt med plads. Især balkonen var helt perfekt til en solrig formiddag/eftermiddag. Nabolaget, faktisk hele byen, var fantastisk hyggelig og dejlig. Jeg kan ikke andet end at anbefale Monte San Savino, og denne bolig som hjem mens man er der!
Bo2015-11-13T00:00:00ZLa maison de Daniele et marta est très bien située très propre. Nous avons passé 2 jours très agréables en famille à monte san savino.
laetitia2016-08-15T00:00:00ZPerfect as always. Good communication, and no issues. The house is clean and neat, and has everything you'd ever want!
Bo2016-11-26T00:00:00ZDaniele's place is perfect for enjoying this special corner of Tuscany. It has everything you need, the deck has a fantastic view and the downstairs is nice and cool on the hottest days. Daniella met us and happily explained everything about the house, even though we were 2 hours late. Bathrooms, kitchen and little living room were all perfectly clean and well maintained. We would come back in a minute.
Nicholas2015-06-16T00:00:00ZThe house was amazing. I would recommend everyone to stay here. We had a wedding to attend at Gorgonza, a castle village just 15 minutes drive from Monte San Savino. For us the location was perfect, enough parking possibilities for the car and the supermarket just around the corner. You feel an italian local because of the location, in the city centre between the ancient walls.. The house is beautifully decorated, very tasteful, we felt immediately at home. The landscape around Monte San Savino (so the area between Arezzo and Siena) is one of the most beautiful parts of Tuscane. The big cities are close by and easily to go by car for a daytrip. The hosts were waiting for us when we arrived, we had a warm welcome and they were very helpful and nice.
Nienke2014-06-10T00:00:00ZAbsolutely gorgeous town, comfortable house with enough room for all five adults on our trip.
Naama2015-06-30T00:00:00ZWe had a great stay. The cosy house is located very near the heart of this medieval mountain village. It is perfect for a couple and a little cramped for 2 couples but it felt like home and Daniele and Marta were just excellent hosts

We had a wonderful stay there. Everything was as described - very nice house, extraordinary view and a huge garden. The place is very calm but if you have a car, there is an easy access to all attractions of Tuscany. Maurizio took care of us in a very nice way - especially the local food and drinks prepared by him were highly appreciated when we reached the house late in the evening.
Monika2015-09-07T00:00:00ZSéjour magnifique en Toscane. L'endroit est idéalement situé pour visiter la région. Belle piscine et calme assuré. Maurizio est un hôte très sympathique et soucieux du bon déroulement du séjour...bref très bel endroit.
Julien2016-08-01T00:00:00ZBeautiful, quiet place, wonderful nature, cozy appartment. Well located for Toscany trips, walking and biking. We had a really relaxing time there with baby and Maurizio is a really sympathic guy.
Kristina2015-10-05T00:00:00ZMaurizio was the best and most friendly host you can imagine. He welcomed us and showed us the way to his place where he had already filled the fridge with food and drinks. Also during our stay he was always available to help with any questions or problems. His place is absolutely beautiful. Located on a mountain overlooking the beautiful tuscan landscape you will be able to enjoy beautiful sunsets and nature. Although we were there in the hot summer months there was always some light wind so that we could relax and sleep well. The pool is amazing and there were only very few other people there. It is a perfect place if you like to slow yourself down, relax and enjoy tranquility. It is also very good for exploring the wonderful sights of Tuscany. We would definitely recommend Maurizio's home! Thank you very much for everything.
Evelyn2016-08-16T00:00:00ZMaurizio hat alles reibungslos arrangiert. Das Apartment ist schön und sauber. Das Grundstück ist riesig, sehr gepflegt und mit der Hügellage und dem Ausblick einmalig schön. Anfang September waren extrem viele Bremsen dort, die haben die Idylle gestört. Abgesehen davon alles perfekt.
Christian2015-09-20T00:00:00ZWhat a delightful place. Incredible views, peace & tranquility in a typical Tuscan setting. Our dwelling was the perfect size for a couple and beautifully decorated. We enjoyed cooking dinners and enjoying them outside in our garden area overlooking the Tuscan hills. Close enough to Siena, Lucca and other historical cities which we highly recommend. The nearby town is quaint and pretty with great value restaurant. Maurizio was genuinely lovely and gave us so much advice. He was so quick to help when we needed it and was kind enough to meet us off the motorway so we could follow him to the house as it's a bit tricky to find first time. The property itself is what looks to be huge old farmhouse or olive oil refinery sensitively converted into apartments in stunning grounds. The pool was very well received as it was around 34 degrees the whole week! If you are looking to be surrounded by wonderful views and nothing but the sound of nature then this is the place for you. I would recommend a car, I don't quite know how we would've been able to get to the local market etc without as it's on a very large hill. Thank you Maurizio for being such a wonderful host and welcoming us to your lovely home. We hope to return very soon!
Amie2016-07-07T00:00:00ZWe had a lovely time at Monte San Savino. The accommodation was perfect for my husband and I and our 6 month old baby. It was a very relaxing time. Beautifully quiet and restful, astonishing views and close enough to explore various towns and cities in Tuscany when we wanted. A car is necessary but the peace and tranquility is worth the drive. We loved taking a run to Gargonza, eating outside and enjoying the pool. Maurizio was the perfect host.

"Writing that easily equals that of the Booker-winning Richard Flanagan...[and] as readable and gripping as any thriller." (The Times).
I've gone. I've never seen the water, so I've gone there. I will try to remember to come back. Etta's greatest unfulfilled wish, living in the rolling farmland of Saskatchewan, is to see the sea. And so, at the age of eighty-two she gets up very early one morning, takes a rifle, some chocolate, and her best boots, and begins walking the 2, 000 miles to water.
Meanwhile her husband Otto waits patiently at home, left only with his memories.
Their neighbour Russell remembers too, but differently - and he still loves Etta as much as he did more than fifty years ago, before she married Otto.

Review by pamjw
Etta has gone for a walk. To see water. Except the sea is over 3000km away, and Etta is in her eighties. Yet walk she does, along the way making friends with James.Her story of walking is interwoven with the story of Otto and Russell and James; their individual stories and what brought them all together. As Etta journeys, Russell and Otto make their own personal journeys. This is a story of love, of endurance, of hope and of overcoming.This story is not unlike The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, but doesn't have quite the same colour of that book. It is, however, a quite good story in it's own way, though quite disjointed - and with the inevitable ambiguous and unclear ending!
Review by SandDune
I heard this book recommended on one of the book programmes on Radio 4 and liked the sound of it. And then I heard it described as the new Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and I started to have doubts, as I didn't like Harold Fry very much, but much to my surprise I liked E&O&R&J a great deal. The book does have one thing going for it that Harold Fry did not, in that it is set in a country other than the one in which I live, and deals with people who have lived a very different sort of life than the one in which I am familiar. When this sort of whimsical, almost magical, book is set too close to home I find that reality usually intervenes, no matter how hard I try to keep it out, and it diminishes my enjoyment. Whereas a setting on the prairies of Saskatchewan - well anything could happen there for all I know - if the author says there are talking coyotes, then I'm more than happy to believe in them. Etta sets out one morning on foot to see the sea, which she has never seen. But the coast of Nova Scotia is thousands of miles away and Etta is eighty-two years old and in the early stages of dementia. She carries a note with her at all times to remind her of who she is and where she comes from. Behind her she leaves her husband of over fifty years, Otto, and his best friend Russell, who has been in love with her for just as long. As Etta gets further and further east she is joined by James, the talking coyote of the title, but whether he is real or a product of Etta's increasing confusion is unclear. Otto too must go on a metaphorical journey of his own as he learns to cope without Etta, and these sections, as he learns to bake and to care for his new guinea pig were some of my favourites in the entire book. But alongside this story of Etta and Otto's old age is the story of their youth more than sixty years previously, when Otto and Russell were growing up on their families's farms in rural Saskatchewan, and Etta arrived as the new teacher at the one room schoolhouse.I'm not quite clear why I enjoyed this book so much. It certainly managed to be a moving fable without becoming overly sentimental. And I can feel the pull of the sea, so even a very long walk to see can seem like a good idea at times! So strongly recommended.

20 strips? I never cast more than 8 strips with my Skagit as best I recall. Excessive stripping is hard on my left shoulder. If I'm fishing the CW or were to fish the Thompson again, I use a different line. Seems like the steelhead Spey revolution began as a way to effectively fish more water, but quickly turned into a scheme to keep the fly fishing industry from going stale. As a practical matter, how many additional steelhead have been caught because of Spey? I've been catching less. Sg
got ya...was looking at your place and thought trail bc and I screwed that up with terrace bc ...and your right that is a whole nother ball game..I think why so many of these lines have gone to heads only so you can add a running line and literally really bomb them..i.e. your carrons.... Philster, I used sinking for a long time too but have switched to either varvis or lately kind of old school rio powercoil which at .030 is slick but floats decent and shoots well.....thought I would give up some distance with the Rio but not that much of a difference and easy to hold in cold weather... I'd would take that Mohlin...would like nice next to my sara...damn ho that I am...
I'm going to test some stuff speybum recommended this offseason for my 11.5 and 10.5 which throw the same short head weights. It floats. Not sure about it yet as it's pretty fine diameter.
Mumbles I don't know the answer as I don't know what the guy is using. What kind of rod. How it flexes. Rod length. What line. What tips. What flies. Even if we do know we still can't answer your questions of 'effectiveness' as it is the individual and their choices to determine what they want to do. Meaning that you or I may struggle like crazy with their outfit but they make it look like magic. William
I can live with that. I'm pretty sure that a long belly pulled way in for tight quarters would cause me lots of frustration. I tried it with my airflo delta and anything that brought the sweet spot into the guides any distance was really just impossible for me. I guess at my skill level I need a lot of things to go right and have a lot to learn about adapting to the variables that I find on the river. And I've seen "that guy". The one that can take something that I would never be able to cast and bomb it time and time again, unfurling those tight loops in the most impossible of locations...cast after cast after cast. I'd like to be that guy when I grow up.
Think 4 weight trout rod dryline casting next time. You can't load the rod, but you can throw tight little dry fly lazer loops by tip casting, throwing the weight of the line like yarn off the end of a stick. You can't do a real spey cast, you just want to get things in about the same position before your forward delivery, but remember you have no load, so make like Hermione doing Wingardium Leviosa. Swish and flick!
Bruce, Mohlin is just a little "symbolic" encouragement that I sincerely offer here... to encourage everybody post up their "positive energy", to participate this discussion and better, a little gift to the brave and good caster that show us the good! "All for the good" is what are we doing here... nothing to do with the prize's value. Look around who is posting in this thread in WFF? No much newbie throwing junks, right! Why?, because we are getting serious about this thread. Weather the gift is valuable or not; it just a symbol that tell people WE ARE SERIOUS ABOUT YOUR DEBATE WITH PHILSTER Yes, you can keep going on and on about the verbal debating... "I can do this, I know some people can do this..." what is the point?? It seems (to me), you are more interested in polarizing and engaging in debate per se than educating people. YES, I BELIEVE YOU CAN DO THIS, seriously, but most importantly, I WANT TO SEE AND LEARN HOW YOU DO IT. Don't you think this is your responsibility to show people how to do it after all those talking? don't you think it is the best solution to sweep off all the doubtful thinking. or you just like keep... talking... Mark
Mark, I do teach at the Claves that I demo at and the greatest joy that I have when I am guideing is when the client tells me that he learned alott during our time fishing. Video clips mean very little compared to up close and personal teaching. You want to learn??? Book a trip with me and you will learn lots ;-) or come to one of the Claves that I am at. I was not belittling the Mohlin fine reel in its right but without being attacked for being `one of those guys` I prefer my old Perfects. So Mark the balls in your court and btw if I am too far away and you have an open mind about learning I can recomend several casters for your long belly journey. Where did your peacock go?????
Wow Philster is that what I get for trying to have a constructive discussion???????? Here is a quite from a e-mail I got concerning all this.......Bruce, Yeah you worthless goober for not spending hours and hours of taking time to shoot decent vids to teach them. Hehehehehehehehehe!!!!!
So you're out fishing, and the water changes to a 200 hundred foot wide, even flow, perfect riffle with orange to big ass pumpkin sized rocks. It's only a hundred or so yards long. You going to change lines? And while you're futzing around let someone low hole you, which would be fine, because you aren't even in the water, and you're messing with your gear. You going to leave on the skagit and fish no more than 8 pulls? two less than Ed? How skagitmaster-y of you! We are men of action...
I thought a guy who made jokes would recognize one! I've enjoyed our exchange. You think it was easy to find a pic of a peacock ass? Consider it a token of my respect for you!
Ok just a little touchy after the attack from yahhhhhooooooona lol. Gotcha good one and yep finding good pics to Zing people can be trying.
So, what about the benefits of working your fly back up the bank from 80' to 45' to make your cast. I can't speak from personal experience, but I bet a LOT of steelhead are caught doing this. Lots of fish hold close to the bank, right? And having to strip the fly that 40 feet or so up the close holding lane keeps you fishing that much longer, and in a lane KNOWN to be prime holding water, especially in the winter. Losing out on that seems like it wold be DISADVANTAGE in covering water most effectively. I bet a lot more fish get to take a look at the fly this way. And especially if they re holding just outside of the path of your fly, multiple more fish can potentially be targeted versus picking up for another cast with all that belly out there, and avoiding them completely. I realize if youre covering water effectively you should have already covered that water, but the stripping in of skagit casting allows you to cover it again, in a way that presents the fly differently from the way it was covered before
Attack?? I am confused?! All I try to do is to convince myself you are not a fake. What kind of attack? The peacock is a great joke in our field. But I realized it is a bit too deep for the audience here... it is a simple idea from sexual selection that telling people "signal is only important if it mean something" do you know what I am talking about? see.... that is the main reason I remove it ... Mark
