Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2001
We love to explore this area and even though we have lived here just about 10 years now, we are still discovering little hamlets and secret getaway places that we like to share with our guests. The family is from nearby Montevarchi and from far away SF, a perfect mix for a magical place. We have the local knowledge but the international flare! It's what makes Casa Falcioni special....a home away from home. You enjoy your privacy but still have an opportunity to contact us if you need anything while you are here. You are in contact with the locals but also have someone who understands your needs.
Why the Owner Chose Cavriglia
It's location is spectacular and many of our guests just love the view. You feel surrounded by nature, but at the same time you have the beauty of a modern house with all basic necessities at your disposal. Day trips are easily manageable and many take advantage of traveling during the day and returning home for an evening meal at the house or at a nearby restaurant.
The Unique Benefits of this Apartment
If you like a place to call home even while you are on vacation, then you have found the right place. There is nothing nicer than sitting on the terrace overlooking the valley, after having been on your feet all day sight seeing all the many sights in close proximity. You feel at home because the apartment is comfortable and we have prepared it for you, just like we would like to find a home when we travel. We look forward to wishing you a BENVENUTO when you arrive.

Wonderful Experience in Tuscany
Guest: Bev & Harvey
(Stony Plain, Alberta, Canada)
Date of Stay: 10/08/11
Review Submitted: 11/11/11
We spent five nights at Casa Falcioni and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We rented both apartments as we met our daughter & neice who were travelling in Europe. It was perfect for the 4 of us. The property is as described, and was extremely clean and well-maintained. We were very busy sight-seeing so only used the kitchen facilities for a light breakfast and snacks, but it would certainly be suitable for cooking all meals. Tanya & Silvano are excellent hosts, available with any information needed (including emailing us later with the name of a plant we were wondering about), but respected our privacy as well. We found the location very convenient - took day trips to Pisa, Florence and many hill towns, which were a highlight of our time in Tuscany. We ate at a number of restaurants in Cavriglia, Montevarchi and Gaiole and enjoyed them all. We would recommend Casa Falcioni to anyone and will definitely return in the future!

Delightful & memorable stay at Oliveto

This comfortable property was accurately portrayed. The view was breathtaking as we walked up to our apartment. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful...even carried our luggage for us. We enjoyed meeting the entire family and learned much about the Italian lifestyle from them. They were there if we needed them and at the same time, respected our privacy. Tanya recommended several wonderful places for us to visit, which made our Tuscan vacation even more memorable. Silvano even offered to take our Euros to pay (an embarrassing) parking ticket in Sienna, which would have been difficult from the USA. We have loved pictures of the Tuscan countryside for years and finally we were blessed to be able to see it for ourselves! This apartment is located very centrally to so much beauty, as well as many interesting hill towns within an hour or two, making day trips easy. We especially enjoyed the scenery on SR-222 and found Greve in Chianti one of our favorites. Loved the atmosphere there. They also have a statue of the first citizen of New York, a local. We stopped and met some grape pickers on that route...a special memory. We feel we have made friends at Casa Falcioni...not just a business transaction. Thank you, Tanya and Silvano (& family). We highly recommend it to anyone wanting to experience Tuscany!!

Cette résidence était tout a fait conforme à l'annonce de VRBO..Tout était près et en place pour nous.Une bouteille d'huile d'olive nous attendait ainsi qu'un mot de bienvenu et les hôtes nous ont donne beaucoup d'information pour agrémenter notre voyage. Le site est absolument fantastique.En pleine campagne, entouré d'oliviers et de figuiers,nous avions l'impression de rentrer chez nous le soir après une journée de visite.Je vous recommande sans hésitation cette location

Siena, Florence, castelo Brolio, etc...Casa Falcioni is so well situated. We were at proximity of everything.The fog in the valley in tthe morning, the oloive trees, the fig trees, everything was so exotic, peaceful and calm. Everything is so cleaneed and well maintained. Everything described was accurate and corresponded to what we were looking for. You were so helpful at directing us toward the best things to see. You were so helpful and friendly. You made our holiday more special. I would recommend to all my friends or relatives. It is certain that we woudn't hesitate a second to go back to Casa Falcioni if we're going back to Italy.

We stayed at Casa Falcioni for 4 nights during our trip to Italy and we enjoyed every part of it. We have received a warmful welcome from the owners who are exceptionally friendly and helpful. They provided us plenty of information concerning the region and the main things to see. From the moment we arrived we felt like if we were part of the family. I we're literally at home. Casa falcioni is a wonderful place to stay for those who want to visit the chianti region and its surrounding. We had the cielo apartment which was small but more than enough for a couple. We didn't spent much time in it since there's so many things to see. Thank you very much Tanya and Silvano!!

Wonderful place in the Tuscany Country
Guest: Albert C.

Review Submitted: 08/08/11
Our family of four had a great stay at the Casa Falcioni. The host, Salvano, was very helpful and friendly. The house itself was very clean and functional. We had breakfast on the patio every morning under the "Tuscan Sun." The location was also very convenient. We visited a lot of places during our one week stay. A car is highly recommended. Thank you so much, Tanya and Salvano, for letting us stay at your country home.

We stayed at this place March 8th-15th, 2011. Not the best time to go to Tuscany but we still enjoyed it very much. We rented both the studio apartment and the one-bedroom one. If you preference is a 5 star hotel, then find one in Florence. If you are after a true Tuscan countryside experience you'd be staying at the right place. The olive grove was beautiful, even in early spring. Both apartments appear to have been recently renovated. The bathrooms are simple but updated, efficient and sparkling clean. The bedrooms are nice and spacious (again this is not a 800 sq feet master suite!), the beds are comfy. The kitchen was essential after the entire day of sightseeing. The attention we got from the hosts - Sylvano & Tanya was the best part! They provided us with numerous suggestions at to what to see, where to shop and eat. They made sure we had everything we needed etc. Highly Recommended!

Tuscany was ever more beautiful than we envisioned! Thank you so very much for your kindness and hospitality. Who knew that we would follow in our daughter Katie's footsteps (one very small step at least) and find our way to the Tuscan hills and the magical Casa Falcioni! We enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning some day and basking in beauty of the sunrises and sunsets. Thank you. Grazie! Extract from Casa Falcioni Guest Book October 21 2010

What a wonderful place for the last leg of our trip! So clean, quiet and peaceful- great to come "home" to every night. Thanks so much for all your help with maps and information. We really enjoyed our conversations about your wonderful life here. Of ourse we enjoyed helping your neighbors snip grapes in their vineyard...for a whole hour!!! We'll have great memories of eating fresh figs for breakfast, snipping fresh rosemary for cooking dinner and walking in the country. We'll definitely recommend Casa Falcioni to our friends. Still lots of exploring to do in Tuscany so we may be back!!! Take care!!! Extract from Casa Falcioni Guestbook for our guests stay from Sept 30-Oct 6 2010
