  Amazing place! Rightfully deserving of so many positive reviews. The location is simply STUNNING. Even the professional photos of the infinity pool and grounds on the website do not do it justice. The view from the infinity pool at sunset is simply incredible. On a clear day, you can see the towers of San Gimignano. We are a couple in in our late 20s. The other guests were generally families with young children. A nice mix and there was always plenty of space in the pool. Antonio and his family are extremely welcoming, and recommended some great places to eat. It takes around 30-45 mins to get to the centre of both Sienna and Florence. We stayed in Cardisco appartment, which has two large doubles (even the americans will be happy with the size of the rooms) and views across the hills. We will be back!

  We spent a wonderful week in Tuscany at Casale Di Villore. It is beautifully situated overlooking the hilly countryside with its olive groves and vineyards and not far from the 'must see' places. We stayed in the Grainary, which is a house by itself with a beautiful large main room and an arched kitchen window  overlooking the lovely yard. Il Casale was a delightful oasis of peace to return to after the bustle of doing the tourist things, and Antonio was a very welcoming and helpful host. I still dream of the place and I hope to be back there again one day. Gisela & Jacky, Gerry, Jenna, Evan. Deep River & Ottawa, Canada

  We stayed at the property in June-July, 2011. Our stay was absolutely wonderful. The apartment was beautifully done. Bedrooms were comfortable, the kitchen large, the living spaces large enough for everyone. The house was immaculate. The grounds were beautiful. The pool was a welcome relief in the afternoon and well used by our children. We were also blessed with other delightful guests here. Antonio, the host, was outstanding. He was like a personal concierge. He helped arrange anything we needed during our excursions thru Tuscany. Advice on best places to see, best spots to park, best restaurants to visit. I will definitely return to his villa.

  We stayed at Casale di Villore on a friend's recommendation and we did not regret it. The owner, Antonio, made us feel at home and provided us with usefull informations to make our trip memorable. The location is ideale, between Florence and Siena, the grounds are well maintained and what about the view, breathless. We had the opportunity to really enjoy the villa because everything is so close and can be done in a day trip. Our appartement was very clean and functional for our family of 4. We stayed in the Prugnolo. We would definitely recommend this villa to anyone. If we are to go back to Tuscany, this would be our place to go back. Thanks Antonio for a memorable stay.

  We will always remember the high standard apartments, the customer service and the views from Villore, and our kids loved the pool and the mountain bikes! Returned home with lots of beautiful memories...

  This property had a visual treat every place your eyes landed. Perfectly located for visiting the cities of Florence and Sienna, but more importantly for our family of 4 adults and 2 children, a welcome retreat at the end of a touring day. The pool, the sunset seating, the clean, well appointed, spacious apartments far exceeded our expectations. We hope to return to Villore soon.

  Our first encounter with Antonio & his Dad was when we were arriving. We took a wrong turn and ended up in an entrance to a muddy vineyard and our car was stuck in the mud. I called Antonio and he was there in minutes to assist. They enlisted a farmer with a bull dozer to tow us out.(no charge) We were really pleased when we finally got to the villa. It is much more beautiful than the pics. The bedrooms are very comfortable. The tower bedroom is amazing with panoramic views. We all agreed if we planned a family reunion or just getting other friends together it would be great to have the whole complex. It would be spectacular for a wedding as well. It is centrally located to Florence, Sienna. Large food stores are in Poggibonsi, which is about a 15min. drive. Our large kitchen was a perfect place to take cooking classes. Antonio and his entire family were a joy to stay with. Caio ! Sharon & Mike, Gloria & Peter, Bonnie & Tom

  We have been already twice to Casa Villore and plan to go back again and again. The property is beautiful, the garden and swimming pool very well-maintained and the view is gorgeous. The apartments are very clean, nicely furnished and charming. The hospitality and kindness of the owners are wonderful. You can find their love for the place in each stone, each tree, each flower... and of course you love it also! I highly recommend Casa Villore to those who appreciate tuscan beauty, silent nature, warm hospitality.... and unforgettable homemade pizza!!
