In addition to all the positive comments about Santa Maria, we add our unique own experience. Just 2 nights into our stay at SM, my wife became very ill, very suddenly. Laura provided all the assistance we could possibly require - from calling the ambulance which took us to a modern, expertly staffed, well-equipped hospital in Empoli, to offering to... More

The apartment is ideal, especially having a full kitchen to make breakfast before heading out for the day and on a few nights we cooked at home too. We definitely recommend... More

Our family of 2 adults and 2 children aged 14 & 10 yrs had a wonderful time at Santa Maria. The hosts Laura and her father were very friendly. The apartment was a good size and very clean. It did get very hot at night being on the second floor so we had to hire fans. The gardens and pool... More
