Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.
Fab place to stay with a young family. The apartments are clean and spacious and Serena is a great host. The play area is great and the grounds are gorgeous. Sadly we had unseasonably cold weather so didn't try the pool. It's an easy walk into the village for a great range of restaurants. The setting is beautiful and we enjoyed borrowing beach stuff so the kids could play on the sand. Would recommend.

Vacanza relax rigenerante in in luogo incantevole
Ci torno ogni anno e come sempre trovo la struttura incantevole. Gli appartamenti sono dotati di ogni confort e puliti. La villa è circondata da giardini curati e verdi, è dotata di piscina e la vista è spettacolare. I proprietari sono molto gentili e accoglienti. Lo consiglio.

Lovely family friendly well located comfortable stay
We had a lovely stay at Villa Elena and Selena, the host, was so friendly and accommodating for anything we needed at anytime. The self catering apartment was very comfortable. Our 18 month old loved the park and it was helpful to have a shed to raid for toys/beach equipment when we needed to. We visited beaches around Populonia and Bibbona, which were lovely. Volterra was a good visit and not too far. Guardistallo, where Villa Elena is located, is charming with some small cafes, restaurants and local shops. It was nice to have somewhere quiet and quaint within walking distance for necessities. Everything in Guardistallo shuts down between 1-5pm, for the siesta. Cecina is very close by with the bigger supermarkets. Overall, a lovely stay.

Sehr hilfsbereite Gastgeber
Ich wollte auf gar keinen Fall versäumen, die extrem freundliche und immer hilfsbereite Gastgeberin zu erwähnen. Insgesamt ist die Anlage schön, das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist absolut ok, man darf natürlich für den in der Toskana günstigen Preis keine außergewöhnliche Dinge erwarten, aber alles was man braucht, ist auch vor Ort. Dazu - wie gesagt - eine immer charmante und hilfsbereite Chefin, die immer für das Wohl der Gäste sorgt, was letztendlich dann doch zu 5 Sterne geführt hat.

Rustic and charming
A beautiful little hotel off the beaten track. The main building looks like a castle and is the main reception area with a big games room. The self contained villas provide perfect accommodation for all types of travelers and allow you to cook in. The view from the balcony was fantastic and we were able to see the ocean. There are barbecues located throughout the beautiful gardens as well as quiet little spots where you can sit and read a book. The pool is great for cooling off on those hot Tuscan days when all you want to do is relax. The hotel is located right in town so it is easy to walk up in the morning and have a coffee or to walk to the local restaurants for a great meal. Would highly recommend this hotel to anyone who wants it all.
