Peter and his dog, Daisy, were fantastic hosts. He gave us a tour of the treehouse (truly magical; exactly like the photos), introduced us to the tree, and then allowed us to make ourselves at home. My girlfriend and I spent the evening admiring our view in peace, listening to the chorus of chirping birds and cicadas. Peter had wine and snacks waiting for us, which we enjoyed surrounded by twinkling christmas lights and fireflies. We look forward to visiting again!

The whole experience was fantastic! Peter immediately made us feel welcome and showed us around the treehouses, which were even cooler than the pictures make them seem. It's also great to have the private entrance to the house with access to the guest bath and bedroom. The wine and snacks when we arrived and the morning coffee were a lovely touch!

We spent our 39th wedding anniversary in the Treehouse. It was a magical as the pictures & written desctiptions. It was hard to believe that we were in a residential neighborhood in Atlanta. Even though it rained all weekend, we made the best of the weather and adjusted our activities. Prior to our visit, I asked Peter and Katie for resturant suggestions. Both were wonderful and easy to find. The Optimist & Lusca. The waiter at Lusca was as good as the food. We went to the Treehouse to celebrate and rest and we accomplished our goal. Thank you Peter and Katie. Rick and Susan Wyatt

This was our first stay with Airbnb and it was the BEST! Could not have been a more perfect setting for our honeymoon. The treehouse was full of character - an adventure yet peaceful and relaxing. This place is magical and Katie and Peter are so kind and hospitable.

We had a wonderful time! The place was so peaceful and quiet. The description was exactly like described and shown in the pictures. Even though we had some last minute changes, they accommodated us beautifully!

Peter was an absolutely incredible host. From the introduction, stories, history, and passion for nature and this property, my boyfriend and I had a lovely experience at the treehouse. The decor and ambiance was serene, and the coffee and tea in the mornings was just divine. Peter was incredibly accomodating, and the treehouse provided such a sweet retreat for us. Even with temperatures dropping, we were able to use the heated mattress pad to stay quite cozy! The only thing to be aware of is the time of year -- staying in early spring, I don't think all the trees had greened as much as they must later in the season, so it wasn't necessarily as "secluded" from neighboring houses as we thought it'd be. With a few houses in sight from the treehouse, we decided to change and such in the private room Peter has in his home for guest use, just so we didn't feel too open and exposed. Still, an absolutely lovely escape we hope to return to!

Katie and Peter are awesome! And their treehouse is just as awesome as they are. I surprised my girlfriend for her 30th birthday with a trip to Savannah and we made a stop in Atlanta the night before just for this place. It was perfect. I little cold and rainy, but it was perfect. The heated mattress was a lifesaver. If you have a opportunity to stay in Katie and Peter's treehouse, dont pass it up!

Katie and Peter were both very hospitable. This was a surprise for my husband and he was excited and shocked when we arrived. Peter took the time to give us a very detailed tour, and to point out the important do's and dont's of staying in this fabulous tree house. As nature lovers our goal was to have a great time connecting and spending quality time together for our anniversary while enjoying the beautiful world that surrounds us and that we so often miss. The setting is quiet. This year is a Cicada year and between them and the bull frog we were totally immerse in nature. The running creek, the squirrels, the birds chirping all a perfect part of this tree house ambiance. The decor is welcoming yet it is clean and inviting. We brought our record player, board games, books and we just chilled. We turned off our phones the entire time while on the tree house. We danced, we took naps, we snacked, we connected. Thank you for sharing so a fabulous and original environment with the rest of us. You have created a space that inspires more of what our world needs: peace, love, connection, simplicity and respect for nature. We will share your gift we everyone we know. Thank you for helping us share our 18th wedding anniversary in perfect harmony. Rosa & Steven

We, a family of 4, had the best vacation there. It was a full experience of nature, culture, and relaxation. The location of the house made this possible. It is a short distance away from town but sits on a cliff covered with tropical greenery. The house itself is a unique work of art done with impressive craftsmanship. The staff is super friendly and helpful when needed. We can't wait to go back to this green village to try other bamboo houses.

As soon as we arrived at Green village, we were welcomed by Maggie (Villa Manager) and her staff. They gave us a quick tour of the house and showed us where things were. They were very nice and professional. The following day Eva (Guests Relation) asked us how our experience staying at the Bamboo House so far and told us she was there to help should we encounter any problem. The following morning, Eva and Mirna guided us to a two hour walk in the neighborhood going through the woods, rice paddy, along the river and SUBAK which is the water management (irrigation) system for paddy fields on Bali island, Indonesia. Almost at the end of our walk we stopped by a local food seller and bought ripe papaya and delicious mangoes(URL HIDDEN) We call our experience staying at the Bamboo House as : 'GLAMPING" or Glamorous Camping. The reason is because the whole house is open to nature with no windows. There was no doors to all bathrooms except one toilet on the living room area. We experienced bats flying over us while we took a shower. Neighborhood cats would come to sleep on our beds uninvited. At night my husband saw a big gecko over the mosquito net. This was quite an experience to stay as close to nature as we could without actually pitching a tent ourselves. Instead we stayed in a " Huge three storey tent" called Bamboo House. At the same time, we could order delicious meal (western style or Balinese style) from their onsite restaurant and delivered to our unit anytime. That's why we call this place as Glamorous Camping.

Green Village is a stunning, unique place to stay - amazing views from within the house over the valley, and the house itself is spectacular and very comfortable. Fantastic to see a different side of Bali, well away from the crowds of the coast. If you get chance to stay here - do!

This place is one of a kind. It's very secluded, quiet and relaxing. Upon arrival, the management team arranged transportation from the airport to the Green Village which was quite appreciated as the place is hard to find. We were taken away by the architecture of the house and the whole village as well. Almost every bit is made out of bamboo. Since it's situated in the middle of a forest, we saw few unharmful insects and birds inside, but this was expected and we did not mind it. They seem to go back to the forest after midnight. Staying in Green Village was defiantly the highlight of our Indonesia trip. It's not a mere accommodation, but a unique experience that I will definitely repeat if I go to Bali again. Highly recommended.

This is a super unique property and experience. Absolutely stunning home and surroundings. This is definitely off the beaten path and a great way to spend some time in the middle of island. With the open air environment, there is not a whole lot of privacy, but that didn't bother us at all! Also, can be hot at night and at mid-day, but you get used to it! And that is what pools are for. The staff at Green Village are extremely responsive and professional. The food was excellent as well and reasonably priced. We also built a Jegog, a traditional Balinese musical instrument- very interesting if you are interested in bamboo or music, or both.

This is such an amazing space to retreat from life. It is quiet, lush, peaceful, spacious and very comfortable. I would liken it to spending the night in a luxury tree house, with open aired living areas and bedrooms. We were amazed at the volume of the home, which makes it a wonderful place to share with friends and family. Eva, the manager of the Green Village, was incredibly welcoming and very helpful with suggestions for local activities and transport. I would highly recommend the bamboo factory tour and the tour of the Green School. Both are an inspiration to the possibilities of this unique and artistic building material as well as what you are able to do with a dream. A truly memorable experience.

I have been traveling abroad for a while and stayed in many unique spots, but this bamboo house really takes the cake! It really is stunning and I will always remember my stay here.

The bamboo house was above all our expectations (2 families with teenagers) for a number of reasons 1. The wonderful Eva - she really did everything she could to make our visit fantastic. She smiled as we dithered at the range of options (and then we'd change our minds) and then organised everything. Eva even made sure we all got to the chocolate factory on time by picking up our slower walkers on her scooter. 2. The house - it really does look like the photos. Sleeping in comfy beds, safely protected by large mosquito nets and listening to the river rush by below - such bliss. Making omelettes and fruit juices for breakfast and sitting at the table overlooking the valley - such bliss. Sitting in the pool in the evening with fireflies around the bushes - such bliss. 3. Everyone's pride in and enthusiasm for the houses - from the designers and their models, through to Patrick and his builders turning the dreams into reality through to those who took us through the houses. 4. The walking tour - across the bamboo bridge with the river rushing below, up through the 5-storey house ohhing and ahhing at everything, down the quiet road to the Bamboo Factory and meeting Patrick to hear about the process and then to the Chocolate Factory and salivating over the smell of cacao. The Green Village is 1/2 hour from Ubud. Our piece of advice would be to go as many different ways as possible - from the south, west and north - as each is scenic in its own way and gets you to a different part of Ubud.

Thank you so much for creating such a magical space. We truly enjoyed our stay at the Joshua tree house and hope to be back one day. The bed and hot tub was especially lovely! And drawing on the porch at sun rise... listening to Sinatra... pure magic!

Had an amazing time at The Joshua Tree House, it was above and beyond what I expected. The house atmosphere was light and very relaxing. We had a fire, listened to records and soaked in the hot tub under the stars. Sara & Rich were wonderful hosts and responded very quickly to any questions we had. Would definitely return again.

We could not have felt more at home during our stay at the Joshua Tree House! Rich and Sara are two amazingly creative individuals who have built an inspiring and relaxing getaway experience. Going into descriptive details would spoil the surprise, but here is a list of reasons why were coming back: Cozy fire place, amazing hot tub, beautiful sunrise/sunset, comfortable bed, great location, and so many thoughtful details! Thank you for making a home away from home for all to enjoy! We will most certainly be back.

Joshua Tree is simply magical and the JT House is the perfect home to enjoy it. Sunrises on the porch, star gazing in the spa, and a cozy fire in a beautifully decorated space. I'd definitely come back.

The home was darling! Sara responded to questions immediately, which was much appreciated. All recommendations were worthwhile. Only note: if airborne allergens are tough on you, the desert dust won't be your friend. It's everywhere. Just be prepared because it's apart of the experience.

Cynthia was such a great host! She was very helpful and made us feel at home. The house is a real get-away and it definitely provided a great desert experience as opposed to staying in a hotel. It was quirky with fun decor and Cynthia planned everything to the last detail - including our iced moon teas and peppermint shampoo. She even hand drew maps for us for places to go. She was not there most of the time, so we had the place to ourselves a lot. The location is great because you can walk or take a short drive to all the restaurants near by (which are all local and amazing!). Joshua tree park is also a short drive away. Despite going there in the middle of the Summer in the heat, it was truly a magical time, and the heat adds to the desert experience of it all. So I would say, take a trip there in the Summer too! Did I mention, there's a beautiful clean jacuzzi with powerful massage jets? Check that out too! I highly recommend staying here if you are staying in Joshua Tree.

The Joshua Tree House is a perfect place to experience the beauty of the desert. The home has wonderful views of the property, surrounding desert, and sunrises and sunsets. The hosts were great to work with and the home had all we needed to make it a wonderful and magical stay. One of our best Airbnb experiences for sure.

The Joshua Tree House is a magical dream space. We loved everything about our stay and are already looking forward to returning with friends. Thank you for creating and sharing this special place.

My fiance and I are new to AirBnb and thought we would try to stay in one of the more unique places we could find while visiting California. The mushroom dome was absolutely wonderful. Kitty is truly a superhost. She gave us a tour of her property and we got to meet her cute dogs. The "Hummingbird Airport" is a must see. The cabin itself is private, quiet and has everything you'd need for a stay in the woods. Our only regret is that we only booked the cabin for one night. We will certainly be back and will recommend this rental to our friends.

We had a woderful time the host was so sweet and there was a lot to do around the property the only improvement we would suggest is a softer bed

This Property has absolutely lived up to it’s reputation of being a #1 rated property on Airbnb.. in fact it has far exceeded my expectations as I’m certain it will yours! I can now say, after having the distinction of staying there for longer than anyone else has, that I completely understand why this place is so popular! It is probably the most unique place I have ever stayed! The first thing I immediately loved was the long drive on the narrow driveway through the tunnel of trees! There is something so mysterious about not being able to see where you’re staying until you’re almost on top of it! This Mushroom Dome Cabin sits right within a grove of redwood trees which is on more than 72 acres of land. I love the way this place was designed! From the loft bed, you can see outside day or night! The cabin is actually so much better than it looks in any of the pictures! There is even a meditation room on the property! The property is home to many different animals and hosts an impressive array of hummingbirds that are beyond beautiful ! Remember to bring your camera ! Kitty graciously went out of her way to show me around and it didn't take me long to realize this place wasn't just beautiful , it was truly spiritual as well . What good would the ultimate spiritual retreat be without the ultimate spiritual hosts? If a Sunday happens to fall within your stay you may get an opportunity to do a meditation with Michael and Kitty and a whole lot more- but I won’t spoil it all for you, you just have to get here to see how incredible this place really is! Please make sure you get a chance to talk to both of these amazing people! I really can't say enough about this place. Magical is the closest I can get to describing it ! There are so many things to do and places to see that are free or very inexpensive in this area. You may want to consider staying a little longer to make sure you don't run out of time to see and do it all ! Seacliff Park at sunset is a must! Not only is this place rated number one on Airbnb, but it is featured everywhere, House Crazy, Tiny House Blog, Pinterest, Relaxshacks, Grist; the list goes on and on . I’m honored to be able to write this review for the one and only Mushroom Dome Cabin. Everything was amazing and I can’t wait to return again .

Very kind and accommodating. A great guide as well for exploring the area

My mother and I stayed in the mushroom dome one night in the middle of a long west coast road trip and it was one of our most memorable stops! Kitty provides specific directions in getting to the property that are very helpful (would not suggest arriving after dark!) and also specific instructions and rules for the cabin. she was there to greet us upon arrival and took the time to show us around the cabin and the property as well as give us a little interesting history on how it came to be! She also showed us to their main house where they feed hummingbirds and you can watch so many at once - it was very cool! The plumbing system and other parts of the cabin were out of our comfort zone but easy to use. There is also no cell service or wifi in the cabin but we had fun with some games music and a decent movie collection! In the morning we went back to see the hummingbirds and also checked out the roosters. The cabin and the property are so unique and the host is very friendly and accomodating! Would suggest for anyone to experience it themselves!

Kitty was a phenomenally generous host and the Dome was everything we had hoped for. She met us as the sun was setting on the beautiful ridgeline where the property is situated. She showed us the wonderful features of the property and told us many tales of creativity that have happened there. We spent a gorgeous night dreaming and channeling creativity ourselves, then woke up and took a beautiful hike right out the front door. Another inspired and satisfied guest of this very special spot.

What an absolutely lovely spot. A great balance of coziness and a bit rugged. Kitty & Michael were incredibly warm & welcoming and the place is quite close to some incredible hiking.

This was an excellent experience. If you want to do something different, get away from it all, especially the Bay Area/Silicon Valley, consider staying in the Mushroom Dome in Aptos. My wife and I arrived on a Friday evening - be warned, if you arrive in the evening you might have trouble finding the cabin if it is after dark. However, we fumbled our way up the hill and met Cole, the manager on duty, who was returning from practice as an acrobat/dancer. We knew we were in for something special after we met someone with such a unique passion, and we weren't disappointed. She led us to the cabin, which was just down a romantically lit path and noted the presence of a playground slide as an alternate route. The cabin was small and charming, giving a feeling of peace and simplicity when inside. Downstairs is a small kitchen with everything you need to make a quick meal and a few food items to help you on your way. The decor is charming and unique, clearly seeking to provide a feeling of harmony and rest for the traveller. Aptos is also a unique area with small shops and a very obvious local culture. It is close to Santa Cruz and there is always the coastal drive along Highway 1. We went berry picking at Swanton Berry Farm and collected 4 flats of strawberries and blackberries. The smell of the strawberry field is sweet and caught the wind in such a way that I just wanted to breathe deeply and enjoy the setting. We also visited Wilder Ranch State Park and hiked along the coast, taking in cliffside views and an walking through an old farmhouse. Finally, we met Kitty and Michael. Their hospitality is unparalleled. You will never see Bjork's music video for Wanderlust in 3D unless you visit her cabin - her son made the video! She has an ark's-worth of animals, three goats including a baby, chickens, talking/singing parrots and an array of birdfeeders that service eighty or so local and migratory hummingbirds. There is a reason this place is so well loved on Airbnb. We had an amazing weekend, unlike any trip before. We give it our highest recommendation. You will love staying here!

This hobbit hole is so relaxing and magical! It was so wonderful to hygge for two days, get away from it all and unplug! The home is cozy and quaint and perfect for all hobbits! We had an amazing stay and can't wait to come back and check out Chelan, WA as well!

We enjoyed our stay in the hobbit hole very much! We had fun looking at all the details and loved the novelty of it. Now is the time to visit while it's the only hobbit hole on the hill. The quiet patio and view was so peaceful and restorative. I wish I had brought a small fan or that there were operable windows for at night; I was too hot at night. In the afternoon/evening, I was perfectly comfortable inside and outdoors despite the chelan forecast being near 90. Our Toyota yaris was not made for the trek, but in dry daylight driving we survived just fine. Very clean. Smelled like cedar or something nice and natural.

This place was everything we imagined it would be. My husband and I loved every single second. Wish we could have stayed longer!

This place is AMAZING and so special and unique. The Hobbit Hole is very well crafted and beautifully done. I was extremely impressed with the details that Kristie put into crafting this tiny home! It is an awesome place to relax, great for a couples retreat. The view is incredible and everything is themed to really make you feel like you're a kid playing pretend again. The surrounding area is also very pretty to hike/walk around - had to break out into song while running around the hills. We had a lot of fun with the Table Topics game that was at the place as well. Kristie is SUPER responsive and made sure that we were prepared for this unique experience. We brought a cooler and camp stove for food since its a bit isolated from town. We stayed over Memorial Day weekend and it was cooler/windier here than in Chelan, so make sure to bring some warm clothes if you are going to be outside in the evening for star gazing or sunset dinner. We used the app Waze to get there and it was fine up until the last turn where it took us off to a more primitive road than we needed to use to get there, but easy enough to figure out we should have just kept going on the main road. Overall the Hobbit Hole was a very enjoyable weekend and we want to go back!!

This was the perfect way to experience eastern WA for the first time. The drive up the mountains was fun and was a great way to start the adventure. The hobbit hole was charming and commanded a great view over the Columbia river and the hills. Fantastic sight first thing in the morning. We loved watching the stars at night and then crashing in the hole. We whittled with the blocks of wood they provided and played chest. During the day we enjoyed Lake Chelan and then looked forward to re-experiencing our secret get-away. We will be back for sure.

Kristie is a creative genius! This home was everything I imagined and more. Closer to home than New Zealand, but just as magical. The attention to detail, cute surprises, and treats and hot cocoa bar were icing on the cake. Thank you for the hospitality and opening your doors to fellow hobbits!

Whimsical, cozy, straight from a storybook - the perfect place to spend time in a winter wonderland!! As beautiful and intricately detailed as the hobbit hole looks in the photos, I promise that the craftsmanship and quality is even more stunning in person! We went in December when everything was covered in snow. The drive up the winding road was doable, but I definitely felt more comfortable doing it in four-wheel drive. The drain had frozen and the pipes froze our second day, but Kristie was amazingly helpful and considerate - doing everything she could to fix it and offering us some reimbursement when the the anti-drain-freezing product didn't arrive in time! I only mention this to emphasize how wonderfully attentive Kristie's service was! Also, I highly recommend the provided Yaktrax for getting up the hill - we were wearing heavy duty snow boots, but the Yaktrax still made the hike much easier. Our experience at The Hobbit Inn was sweetly magical. It was lovely to be away from the daily grind, taking a much-needed break from the frustrations and temptations of all things internet, and instead leading simple, deeply satisfying days whittling and playing chess and talking and reading by the fire. I can't wait to go back!

The Hobbit Inn is a magical experience! Every square inch of the hobbit hole is uniquely crafted and thought out. The fire kept us warm and toasty despite temps of 7-15 degrees outside. We enjoyed the provided reading materials and games. There is a chess table and "question cards" to keep you entertained. We loved being off the grid - we did not have cell phone service or a television! It's nice to check out sometimes. We used our winter getaway to try out our new snowshoes and sleds. The area is simply breathtaking! We would highly reccommend a stay here! Our only negative was frozen pipes (which we were told about in advance- and received a discount as we elected not to re book for a different date). The toilet was not usable despite following the recommended advice for pouring water in the bowl to "flush it"! We were not provided enough water (or information) for the bathroom situation. With that being said - go stay here and get lost in the magical world of the hobbit inn! You won't regret it!

This was the best airbnb experience I've ever had. This house is special. From the view to the gorgeous design of the property--you feel like you're in a dream.

Not only is this an amazing house, but it's an amazing location. You have to drive a few miles up a dirt road to make sure you're completely off the grid. No cell service, no internet, no outside world (except for the real outside world). We spent our time enjoying the fire, playing old-fashioned word-games and drinking wine. Can't imagine a better place to spend a weekend. One day, I hope to build my very own itHouse somewhere half as amazing as Joshua Tree.

Being that often on the front site of airbnb is great but Linda deserves it. The off grid it-House is an architectural masterpiece. Delightful embedded in the stunning nature. The house is furnished in the best of taste. It’s a fantastic hideaway unfortunately several thousands miles away from me – otherwise I would love to be back again as soon as possible. Linda was very helpful concerning all issues and instructions are clear. The house is easy to find – bring your books along, lay back and relax.

A pleasure and an experience, I spent two nights at this place solo and enjoyed every minute. The house is thoughtfully designed and constructed, but the real winner here is the desert landscape and the wildlife it contains. The house manages to capture the passing parade with floor-to-ceiling glass acting as an enclosed viewing platform. Expect jackrabbits, squirrels and lizards. If you're lucky coyotes, bobcats and rattlesnakes. I particularly enjoyed exploring the surrounding area, the quiet solitude agreeing with my nature. I'm sure this place doesn't need my endorsement as it appears to be very popular. If you're hesitating, take the chance. It's worth every cent.

Unsurpassed: The location, the house, the experience. Thank you Linda, for welcoming us to your desert paradise. After a coastal drive and some bustling urban adventures, the itHouse was the perfect off-grid escape and end to our honeymoon. The house was as described. It was impeccably clean, there was a great little book collection and a very comfortable bed. The house manual is very clear and straightforward. All we had to do was show up with our favourite food and drink and watch the sun and moon rise and set. We would love to visit again someday.

The most amazing place I've stayed in my life. The setting is phenomenal, you feel like you're sleeping outside with the expansive views from the bedroom. The fire orb was super clutch to generate warmth in the evening. Outside fireplace was a nice touch you don't necessarily pick up on from the listing. Linda's instructions were very detailed and helpful in terms of gaining access to the property and information regarding how to make the sustainable solar energy source last throughout a cloudy evening. Top shelf, 10 star experience. Do it.

This was my second time at the Off-grid itHouse and my first time staying there - it was a wonderful visit. The house is beautiful, well stocked, and has spectacular views. Occasionally somebody drives up the road, but other than that you have the feeling of being out in the middle of nowhere. Being in a glass house at night in the middle of nothing can get a little scary - but that makes it even more fun. Don't plan on doing anything but reading, writing, and watching the sun, moon, and stars. Not sure why you would want to do much else. Note: The dirt road is really bumpy and you don't need an SUV to get out there, but you will definitely be more comfortable if you have one.

As a couple we shared such a magical weekend stay. Every aspect of this house down to the tiniest detail was perfect. We almost want to keep it a secret! Will definitely be planning many more stays in future. Joshua Tree itself was an unforgettable experience. Be sure to plan a few days for the National Park! Cannot stress being mindful about the water and power for future guests, be aware that usage is limited so plan accordingly. Also there didn't seem to be a freezer so stick to bringing/ buying refrigerated goods. In colder months bring plenty of firewood for the indoor and outdoor fireplaces to enjoy the beauty surrounding the house. Looking forward to returning!

Gorgeous location, the treehouse is magnificent, and incredibly kind and accommodating hosts, so glad I chose to stay here.

We had an absolutely unforgettable experience at casa Barthel. It is absolutely beautiful, so so comfortable and all the amenities have been considered. Fresh pastries were delivered at our room every morning, and Elena and her mother were so knowledgeable about the local area. Cannot recommend this place highly enough!!

We had an amazing stay at the treehouse! The whole place Is Just dreamy and amazing. Elena is very relaxed and helping and gave a poster to us which did by herself . We can recommend this place to everyone that will visit Florence.

Amazing place, just like the pictures. The property was beautiful. It's at least 20 minutes from the city, and we regretted taking the advice of another Airbnb reviewer who said a rental car was unnecessary. The price of a car rental is about equal to a cab ride to and from the place to downtown Florence, so if I stayed here again, I'd definitely rent a car.

Elena is a super host. Very chilled lady but also is a very strong astute woman. We felt totally at ease around her and her grounds. We had trouble getting to the house just because of traffic and road works and elena kindly offered to pick us up from the bottom of the hill nearby. We really appreciated this. The tree house OUT OF THIS WORLD

The tree house was great, we stayed there for days and loved it! Florence is just 15m away, Chianti is just 30m away, Pisa is an hour away. The place is very nicely located. The view is spectacular, and casa Barthel is private, intimate, and safe.

The treehouse and the property were beautiful. Wifi is not very good. It is close to the city but feels away from it all. You can hear some traffic noise but it is still secluded. It is a great place to stay!

The Treehouse is a magnificent place to stay in the Florence area. Elena and the Barthel family have a wonderful property, with the most amazing vistas of Florence and the surrounding countryside. If you're a couple that loves the idea of a treehouse, then there is simply no other place to stay in Florence! We liked it so much that we got engaged while staying there.. says it all really.

A perfect stay! We visited for our anniversary and loved everything about the Mill: the beautiful location, the high quality finish of the interior, the amazing original features of the wind mind above you as you lay in bed, even the fresh produce on arrival. We want to go back in the winter so we can huddle around the fire and take baths on the top floor overlooking the countryside. A very special location - thanks for letting us stay Clare.

Words can't describe how wonderful the Old Smock Windmill is. A truly magical and unique stay in an amazing building filled with so history and mixed in with luxury. Clare was an incredible host who gave a warm welcome and left us with some incredible homemade bread, freshly laid eggs, tomatoes and locally grown apple juice. It was really, really hard to leave and this is the best ever Airbnb experience we've had.

Clare is an amazing host and the Old Smock Mill is a wonderful place to stay. Clare was quick to respond to all communications and was very helpful and friendly. The property is exactly as photographed; beautifully and thoughtfully decorated, airy, cosy, comfy, and full of wonderful little features (it takes the two nights to find them all!). We were welcomed with stunning flowers, fresh eggs, apple juice, bread, tomatoes, and raspberries, which were all wonderful. We met Clare's husband and mother during our stay and we were made to feel very welcome. We had a birthday tea party whilst we were there, as Clare was kind enough to allow us some family over for a day trip, and it made my birthday very special. We would recommend the mill to anyone who would like to stay in the area. There are fresh towels, robes, soap, and a hairdryer, which is all very much appreciated. There are also sun loungers and chairs. There is also a TV and DVD player, with some DVDs to watch, as well as some books available to borrow. There is a fridge, an oven, washing machine, and dishwasher. The kitchen is fully equipped with pans, cutlery, plates, etc.

Clare's windmill is one of the most unique and wonderful places that I've ever stayed in. From the amazing views to the incredible building itself and the beautiful decor it's a lovely place to spend a few days. The building is so warm and cosy even on cold, windy and wet days. All of the features are fantastic, from the roll top bath to the walk in shower, large comfortable bed, copper sink, cosy stove and huge cast iron radiators. Great walks to the village (passing two fantastic pubs) and a short drive to the beach make it a lovely location. I would love to stay here again.

Another amazing stay at Old Smock to celebrate getting engaged there a year earlier. It's an absolutely perfect place to hole up and get away from the business of life; I can't recommend it highly enough. Can't wait for our next stay!

It was an absolutely fantastic experience in a beautiful, charming windmill. Clare was an incredibly kind and welcoming host. It was the perfect place to be rested and restored. With wonderful views and extremely comfortable accommodation. Will be recommending to friends and hope to come back soon.

We loved our weekend stay at Clare's windmill for my boyfriend's 30th birthday. The mill has been beautifully restored and is very comfortable & cosy. Clare is friendly and welcoming and when we arrived, there was homemade bread, eggs and other produce from their garden in the kitchen, which was a lovely touch. There are loads of great places to visit within a half an hour drive including Sissinghurst Castle Garden, Great Dixter, the town of Rye, Camber Sands beach and plenty of great country pubs. Would definitely recommend, especially for couples after a relaxing/leaving getaway.

Windmill is an incredible place to go to for a romantic special getaway. It's just as incredible as it looks like on the photos, even so with an amazing new addition of a fireplace in the lounge area. We went for a nice meal at a Three Chimney's pub, which was a 10min taxi drive away (£17 each way), but it was very easy to cook our own meals in the kitchen as well. Everything is totally equipped for the most relaxed holiday: fluffy robes, throws, a big selection of books, CDs and DVDs. Clare is really friendly and was very welcoming and helpful.

Fantastic visit to Casa Praia.location is beautiful,neri and neia are very helpful and kind.We did have a problem with Portuguese which was totally our fault, but got by with our phrase book! Area is great, but w were told not to walk any where .We are used to walking and felt a bit cut off..but we hired a car, and found some great restaurants.

The couple who take care of the area are the most wonderful people. Kind, helpful and welcoming. The house has splendid views and is quite isolated. Expect to take the car for everything. Very helpful people in Andrade supermarket and good food in Palmas at Raizes. I wouldn't call it young child friendly.

It was an exceptional experience our stay in the beach house of Anthony's property. It has paradisiac views, a nice private beach and a good service from Deivit, the caseiro. The house is perfect to enjoy good time with friends and family, further else if you are trying to rest in a calm and peaceful place. There are some mini markets, drugstores and restaurants in a close Village. I really don't want to recommend (to keep the house easy for booking and unknown, LOL), but I have to do so, cause it was an amazing stay!

The stay was perfect in every way. Anthony is very attentive to explain all the questions that may arise before the stay. In the property, the caretakers/'caseiros' are very receptive and friendly people. The house is beautiful, exactly - and even more beautiful, I would say - like the photos. Fully equipped with everything you could need. The parking is very convenient too. I strongly recommend to everyone who want to relax, surrounded by a beautiful architecture and cinematic view. :-)

Great place! Cannot say anything maore than just a great experience in a wonderful place. Love the house. Love the private beach. Love the area and thr weather. Just perfect!

Amazing views.
