“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 great week in your beautiful villa. We loved the property, the setting and the surrounding area. I know Julie was messaging Jon at the beginning with some suggestions which we didn’t have the opportunity to follow up on this occasion as we were meeting up with family located in different parts of the region. Anyway, another time we would love to take advantage of your knowledge of the area. Thank you also for purchasing the wine, it was all amazing.
Have a great summer, and thanks again for letting us stay”

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 :-)

Tuscan Paradise!
We stayed here recently for a Valentine Day treat for my wife. The villa is beautiful. Even in late February we will able to sit in the courtyard and enjoy lunch with the amazing view of the rolling hills and in the afternoon in the garden under the pergola. The villa is well appointed with an excellent kitchen and pantry and the owner had left us a lovely bottle of tuscan wine from Montalcino to enjoy on arrival. The estate is so quiet and tranquil, we hope to return in the summer to take advantage of the pool! A special mention of Barrie and Julie who could not be more accommodating arranging a trips to a local vinyard and a some excellent day trip suggestions including Siena where we ate at Le Logge, which is the best dining experience we have had the pleasure to enjoy in all our years of travel to Italy plus the beauiful spa village close to Buonconvento, Bagno Vignoni where we warmed our feet in the roman spring! The village of Buonconvento is a jewel! The people were so welcoming and there really was everything you need for a countryside escape that we didnt need to venture further afield for supplies. The village had a lovely buzz to it and was not in any way touristy like some of the other more well known villages which whilst attractive like Buonconvento, seemed to be more set up for tourists. At night we walked to the local hotel for dinner and drinks on the terrace or a little bit further up the hill to the TNT pub which serves excellent pasta and pizza. I would definitely recommend the home to friends and are sure to return.

After many years searching, we finally found Cortile del Pozzo, our dream home here in late 2018 and is now available to share with friends and customers alike for the first time from 2019. For us the home offers the perfect balance between enjoying the serenity of the tuscan countryside nestled with rolling hills and blue skies and glorious sunshine within walking distance to a winery with wonderful menu, local pub and the village of Buonconvento, which is a real hidden gem, a beautiful typical tuscan borgo with all amenities and friendly locals twelve months a year. Here you can relax in the large private garden, take in the panoramic view from the courtyard, enjoy a game of tennis or bocce or take a dip in the pool, all available here at the residence. The home is within easy reach of all tourist locations such as Montalcino and its worldwide renowned wineries, Siena and probably the most beautiful piazza and Bagno Vignoni, an impossibly picturesque spa village where you can literally dip your toes in the warm running spring. Plus many more places of natural beauty, towns and villages to visit and revel in their wonder. Our goal is for you to enjoy Cortile del Pozzo as much as we do and ensure your experience is a real home from home experience.

What makes this property unique

The local's are so welcoming and the village has a friendly atmosphere we have not found anywhere else on our travels in Italy.
