Borgo die Fondi is located in a stunning setting and is a very comfortable, relaxing retreat.
Our stay at Borgo dei Fondi was wonderfully relaxing. After daily sightseeing and intentionally getting lost in the Tuscan hill towns, we wanted to return to this lovely house and setting every evening to prepare our own dinners and enjoy the sunset from here rather then eating out. The apartment was clean and comfortable; the grounds are stunning and welcoming; and we can't say enough about the kindness and hospitality of our hosts. We initially thought we might be too remotely located, but soon found being only 15 minutes from Sienna (groceries, sightseeing, restaurants) was ideal for our family of four. The quiet nights at this house were welcomed after the busy and crowded days in hills towns, Florence, and Sienna. If we return to this area of Italy we would definitely stay in Borgo dei Fondi again.
Beautiful Countryside. Good Price. Nice Choice Ov
We appreciated the beautiful property of Borgo de Fondi. We stayed in the La Loggia apartment area with our 3 teenage children. It was a nice visit and a nice accommodation. We found a walking trail that led us on a very interesting exploration of the area. The pool was beautiful and the beds were comfortable. The price was right and overall it was a very nice stay. Vittoria and her father are lovely and genuinely welcomed us to have a good stay. We met up with them in Siena so that we could follow them to the property. They do not live there, so once you arrive, you are on your own. The signage to the location is very unclear and even the GPS coordinates in a GPS are unclear. Our GPS directed us to the location by taking up a dirt road that is impassable, so we were on the right road, but unable to drive to the property from that part of the road. I would say that the main reason to choose this property would be price combined with the rural countryside feel. We did have to drive for everything, and expected that would be the case. I wish we would have known that the rooms at La Loggia are very dark. The photos on the website are beautiful and brightly lit, but in reality, they are quite dark. The water in the kitchen runs through a filter that is difficult to control. The bathroom is tiny and old, so it helped to remember that we were in a very rural area and paying a fair price. It was a bit difficult for us to be in such a rural area without anyone onsite to provide direction in person. Overall, it's a pretty property, very dark inside, and very rural, but it's a good price and beautiful countryside.
Perfect Place in Tuscany
We had an incredible visit in Tuscany, and found this wonderful farmhouse to be the perfect combination of romantic seclusion, and a home base for spectacular Tuscan destinations. Sienna is beautiful (and much less crowded than Florence) and is a very short drive. Day trips to the Chianti region and beautiful towns like Montepulchiano are fabulous (having a GPS is key and makes this navigation easy). Florence and Pisa are easy day trips as well. David and his family were the perfect hosts with great personal attention - we really enjoyed getting to know the family, and they took great care of us. Highly recommended and we can't wait to come back!
Wonderful Place
I cannot say enough about the wonderful villa and our hosts. It was a magical place to stay. The property was everything I had dreamed about when I decided to come to Italy/Tuscany. The owners were very helpful in giving us tips and directions and the place itself was fantastic, surrounded by gardens and greenery. The villa was furnished with antiques of high quality and the beds were so comfortable. The owners felt like family. I miss them already. I have already recommended this to 2 of my friends. I will definitely come back here when I return. I am already planning on my next trip back.
Tuscan bliss
If you are wanting a typically Tuscan experience for a very reasonable rental Borgo de Fondi is definitely the perfect place. While it has no 'bells and whistles' it is comfortable and charming, in an idyllic hilly woodland setting of great beauty and serenity. We occupied both apartments (5 and 2) and while we 5 were a little envious of the smaller apartment's swish kitchen, we loved our apartment. Davis and Simona were friendly, charming and informative hosts, welcoming us with wine and nibbles and checking with us during the week to make sure all was well. While this property seems isolated, it isn't! We went straight to it with a GPS, it very easy to get to Siena (we drove in twice for dinner), and it is centrally located for easy access to many lovely Tuscan towns. It is the perfect place for just chilling out, walking, or sightseeing. Hopefully next time we go it will be warm enough for us to go swimming in the beautiful pool?
Nice, but...
Lovely apartment, setting if you want solitude, close to Siena by car. BUT... this was not really as advertised. This home is about 10km off the main road, almost 2km up a dirt/gravel road with no signage. Very difficult to find, no GPS will find this house until you've already arrived. The host and his daughter were mostly very nice, gave us map of area, and tips on restaurants and location, but we and the others staying here had alot of difficulty finding it (they had to come get us in Monteriggioni and the other people circled for 3 hours). Then wanted us to park around back of property when front was far more convenient. You have only limited grace amount to use for heat/hot water and would be charged extra if you went over, gave us a hard time about an extra person they weren't expecting, and had to meet with them again to return the deposit. Seemed like alot of hassle to be in the middle of nowhere.
Map
The property is located 10 min / car from the center of Siena, nestled in the beautiful countryside of Montagnola. It is the ideal starting point to visit places of historic interest and scenic as Volterra, San Gimignano, Pienza, Montalcino, which are all within easy reach, as well as the cities of Florence, Arezzo and Pisa.
Beautiful trails, from Siena to visit the Chianti and the Crete Senesi in tours that combine unforgettable views to the best of Italian food and wine. The Tuscan coast with its most beautiful places as Castiglione della Pescaia or Argentario, is 1 hour by car. Siena is the city of the Palio, which is really an experience to live, but not only that, there are many, in fact, shows and especially artistic and musical events throughout the year mean that your holiday remains memorable .
But the real question is : "and if, instead of going around, I stay to tan by the pool?"
