Our friends visited Tuscany to celebrate a special birthday, and this villa turned out to be the perfect place. We were looking for a peaceful haven to relax in where we each had our own space, while also being well-placed to explore the region - and this spot delivered on every front.
The villa is a beautiful blend of rustic charm and modern comfort - thoughtfully equipped with everything we could possibly need, thanks to the wonderful hosts, Julie and Barrie. It is styled beautifully, with cozy touches that made it feel like a home away from home so much so, we cooked a fabulous meal on our last evening.
Each morning we woke to birdsong and stunning views of the rolling hills - an idyllic setting that truly felt like a slice of paradise.
The sunsets were breathtaking and the perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine whilst taking in the views.
Julie and Barrie’s hospitality was exceptional. Nothing was too much trouble and their thoughtful recommendations for local restaurants and sights were a huge help, especially with our limited time.
Buonconvento is just a few mins drive from the villa, we were made to feel so welcome everywhere we went. We loved sitting outside Bar Sport, enjoying a drink whilst watching the world go by and the food at Porta Di Sotto was delicious as was Pizzeria Biga.
There’s so much to discover nearby, but be sure to also take time to soak in the serene beauty of the villa’s surroundings. A perfect Tuscan retreat - we couldn’t have asked for more.

We had the good fortune to spend some time in Tuscany and staying in this property can only add to the pleasure. The house has this lovely serene feeling to it, all calm and relaxing. It invites you to sit down and relax, with a glass of wine in your hand, and just admire the view all the way across to Montalcino. The property is lovely and modern, built in a light coloured stone. The lounge is beautifully furnished and the bedrooms are simple and elegant but lovely and cool after a hot day in the sun. Nice modern showers and the kitchen would delight any chef. Beautiful pool and beautiful views everywhere. Ideally placed for exploring Siena and all the local villages. Buonconvento, the closest village, is absolutely charming. Julie and Barrie go above and beyond to make sure you have the perfect stay, and their recommendations about places to visit, restaurants to eat in, wine to drink etc. are all top.

My wife & I have been privileged to enjoy 2 stays @ this country idyll. After a long journey from Australia to be greeted by the owners warmly & with a welcome drink set our stay up. Barrie & Julie are great hosts, attentive & very genuine. The property is exactly as described, the rooms are terrific, the sense of space & furnishings provide a perfect place to relax. All of this is complemented with a lovely outdoor dining & relaxing area & a sense of tranquility. We have no hesitation in recommending the property, location & most importantly the owners for a perfect stay.

The property is situated in a beautiful location, is very well appointed, spacious and comfortable with air conditioning should temperatures be high. The hosts are exceptionally helpful, provided lots of useful information and went out of their way to ensure that we had a wonderful holiday.

“Hi Julie and Barrie,
I just wanted to say how much we enjoyed our stay in your lovely house. It’s a very special place and we’re bringing some lovely memories home with us. Thanks for all the advice and recommendations and for being so responsive to any queries. Thanks to Emma too who gave us such a warm welcome 😊. Hope to revisit again one day but in the meantime will be trying to find a wine to match that lovely rose you sourced for us! All the best and hope you enjoy the rest of the summer “

We had a wonderful time and thoroughly enjoyed your beautiful home. I know you put a lot of effort into sharing nuggets with your guests that will help them have the most authentic experience - I can't tell you how much we appreciate that! Your thoughtfulness and help were unlike anything we've seen in renting (the wine, the day trip suggestions, the restaurant arrangements, the bocce balls, and on and on…). We had wonderful day trips to Orvieto, Sienna, Florence, biking in Chianti, etc., We visited Casale di Bibbiano on our last day, but only wish we had done that earlier in the week so that we could have taken a cooking class there!

As soon as we walked into the home were were very impressed with the spacious living area which opens into the garden and the charming typical Tuscan furnishings and furnishings. The home is located in an idyllic situation for people looking to relax in complete peace surrounded by beautiful trees. Yet in just few minutes driving we could easily reach the pretty village of Buonconvento which has an excellent selection of restaurant and wine bars with little shops, market etc like a village that time had forget but was all the better for it. A special thanks to Julie and Barrie.

We spent a wonderful family holiday in a charming villa Cortile del Pozzo surrounded by beautiful Tuscany. The attentiveness and helpfulness of our host couple Barrie and Julie even before our arrival, and the care of our hostess Emma on the spot, warmed our minds and completed the success of our holiday perfectly! I can happily recommend this to anyone who needs a quiet and comfortable place to spend their holiday :-)
