Dream villa, perfect location, fantastic host
Our stay in the villa exceeded all expectations that we had and we are already looking at available dates to book in 2020. Communication: timely, clear, very proactive and super useful GPS guidance that avoids ambiguity as you come off the main roads. Property manager is very personable, available for any questions over phone / and she also greeted us and provided a great tour of the property, answer questions, etc. Location: The villa is situated on the sizable piece of land which is then surrounded by woods. Beautiful view of the Tuscan countryside. We say a doe twice during our stay which was a very special moment for children. Facilities: Rooms are decorated tastefully, with traditional details, comfortable beds and amazing views . We were impressed by furniture dating from 17th century in excellent shape, and the confession room door which is built in a decorative wall. 2 TVs one on each level, excellent bathrooms with plenty of towels, paper, hand wash, etc Well equipped kitchen - we used it almost daily. There are two 'solariums' - partly shaded , where we had breakfasts , played cards, etc. The pool is very clean, sun beds brand new. Plenty of space for kids to run around and play. Most importantly, the host was the kindest lady we have ever met, she made us a dinner upon arrival and left a bottle of wine. Her and her husband live i the other house on the sam plot, however, we only seen them once during our stay, very respectful. We cannot recommend this property enough!

Fabulous villa in stunning grounds
We were a family group of 10 and hired the whole villa (both apartments) for one week. We loved the property, had plenty of space and really enjoyed the surroundings and pool. The owners were great, really friendly and helpful. We took advantage of the locally cooked meal at the property which was excellent - very enjoyable. The villa is within easy distance of various restaurants for eating out and we visited San Gimingnano, Siena, Lucca and Florence during our stay. Would definitely recommend this property and would love to return. Thanks!

Fabulous
We loved every minute of our stay at this gorgeous property. It was beautifully clean and comfortable, wonderful setting and within easy reach of the beautiful hill towns. We visited Florence, San Giminiano, Voltera, Siena and Cecina on the coast - just over an hour away and a lovely beach. The swimming pool was gorgeous- the best we have had in a rental villa and the hosts charming, despite the language barrier. They very kindly left us some delicious home made tomato sauce (delicious) as well as gorgeous homegrown tomatoes. All in all a wonderful week, lots of space for the kids and different spaces to sit for age ranges 10 to 71! The only thing we would recommend is that it is made very clear before people book that air conditioning/heating etc is not included in the price. Other than that we loved it!

Our group of 5 women celebrating a number of life milestones had a wonderful week. Check in was easy and the villa was amazing. Our only issue through the entire week was that the battery in the gate fob died and we were momentarily trapped inside with a pending golf tee time! The owner quickly realized our issue and gave us his fob and we were on our way within a few moments. Everything was wonderful and as expected!

Wonderful family stay in sunny Tuscany
We have enjoyed our stay tremendously. The house is situated on a high hill, therefore quite cool at night. The owners and caretakers are wonderful. The interior and exterior is done in a traditional and elegant style. All rooms were very clean. The are mosquito screens on all windows. Also shutters. Airconditioning available but even in mid August hardly necessary. Pool is large, clean and very nice. several wonderful and cosy seating area's . We enjoyed the nearby towns of San Gimignano, Volterra and of course the Paleo in Sienna. We would love to come again. What we missed? Hardly anything. The kitchens could use a true oven. But with all the wonderful nearby restaurants, that is hardly and issue.
