Summary: We have just returned from a very pleasant and relaxing week at the Old Bishop's House, despite the weather not being great every day! The house is very comfortable, with a lot of character reflecting its age and history. It has everything needed as a holiday home for a relaxing break, in extensive grounds. The pool is a good size, though there is no deep end for diving. There is also some slight noise from the road and car wash at the garage next door. However, these aren't big issues.Davide and his father are great hosts, with much useful information about the area. The Restaurante la Panche next door has fantastic food, and like the local people in the villages, they are lovely and friendly. The scenery in the area and in the mountains is superb and spectacular. Great co-op in Maresca which is close and also beautiful.This is a wonderful area and lovely house. (But one suggestion - if you can get here by avoiding Pisa airport, you would be doing yourself a favour. It's a shambles, especially departures).
