Das Haus war insgesamt für unsere Zwecke perfekt konzipiert: 4 Doppelzimmer mit 4 Bädern, große Räumlichkeiten, alles sehr gut ausgestattet.
Leider war die Spülmaschine nicht gewartet, so dass sie anfangs nicht gut funktionierte, unsere Vorgänger hatten nicht alles sauber hinterlassen und die Reinigungsdamen konnten in der Kürze der Zeit (Samstag Wechseltag) wohl nicht alles von Grund auf reinigen. Dies hat man schon gemerkt - SCHADE!
Barbara hat sich bemüht, unsere Bitten gleich an Giorgio (Hausmeister/Gärtner) weiterzuleiten, der dann alles freundlich und schnell repariert hat.
Das Haus liegt schon sehr sehr abgelegen, nur über holprige Schotterpisten zu erreichen.
Vor- und Nachteil zugleich! Ruhe und Abgeschiedenheit!
Die drei anderen Wohnbereiche des Gutes Fornaci und ihre Eigentümer haben uns in keinster Weise beeinträchtigt. Sie waren äußerst freundlich und hilfsbereit.
A beautiful location, tuck out of the way. The owner was wonderful when we needed to reschedule our trip. The host, Barbara, made us comfortable and gave us excellent directions. The welcome basket was perfect after a long day of traveling. We highly recommend taking a cooking class with Marta! She and Ana were lovely, sharing their knowledge of food and wine. Wonderful family memories!
This is a beautiful villa, located away from the hustle and bustle of life. The mornings were so peaceful sitting outside drinking coffee and watching the swifts fly and dive.
The villa is nicely appointed and the views are lovely. I do wish we had realized there are other people who own villas on the same property, so you are sharing the pool with other people. You do have a private courtyard which is nice.
This kitchen was furnished with everything you would need and the washer and dryer were an added bonus.
Overall I would recommend the villa for your visit to Tuscany.
We were 4 couples enjoying this lovely villa for one week.
The owner, Filippo, is an excellent communicator and attended to all of our requests very swiftly. The property manager, Barbara, is a gem and looked after our every request and need.
The villa is very well appointed and slept us all comfortably whilst affording plenty of space to relax as well as enjoy the pool.
The property is rather difficult to find and we managed to get slightly lost, however, Barbara rescued us!
It is also a drive to the nearest village so a little isolated but day trips to San Gimignano, Volterra, Sienna etc. are easily done.
All in all, a lovely place to stay and a very enjoyable holiday.
This villa was as beautiful as pictured and described online. The kitchen was well stocked and furnished and provided a warm communal space for our party of three couples. While we had a lovely week on the property there are a few things that were not clearly spelled out on the site; the villa is rather remote and the dirt roads leading to the property are hilly, narrow and rough, also the pool and surrounding property are shared space and pool access for guests/renters is 9am to 6pm, which is monitored by owners of other units on the property. Overall, this was a quiet and relaxing place to spend a week gazing at the beauty that is Tuscany.
We had a wonderful time in Tuscany and thoroughly enjoyed the villa. The area is so quiet and picturesque. The villa was perfect for our family of 8 adults. There was lots of room, it was well equipped, the host was tremendous, it was beautiful and very comfortable. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Amazing property with incredible views!
Our group recently traveled to Italy to celebrate our 20 year wedding anniversary. This was an incredible home that just continued to surprise us as we explored. Great location if you are looking to make day trips and come back for evening sunsets and wood fired cooking. We were set up with a lovely welcome basket, and our very own tour guide in the form of a highly coveted binder with every special location that is could be found within driving distance in one day. This binder never left my hands, and we were so grateful to have it. Barbara (property manager) greeted us and had many suggestions on where to visit, restaurant must-haves, etc. This will be on my list of places to visit again. The Villa is perfection!!

Very nice and comfortable villa
We had a very good holiday in villa Fornaci
it’s a very nice and quiet place situated in the middle of the forest and with a beautiful private garden
The villa is wonderful and well equipped
Barbara was very helpful and we received a huge welcome food basket the first day :
it was very nice because going to the nearest grocery takes about one hour for a return
Luckily there is a good internet connection because the cell phones are not recheable: you can always call using wats app if necessary (is it really necessary during holidays?) but you have to advertise your contacts if you are expecting calls
The location is very good and near Sienna and other nice towns
The only little minus point is the swimming pool :
you are not always alone (I was annoyed my grandchildren were making to much noice for the other people) and the pool rules ask you to leave the pool at 6 PM because after 6 PM the swimming pool is reserved for the neighbors-owners:
This makes you can not have a swimm when coming back from a visit and before your supper
But it’s really the place to go for an escape in Toscani !
Making your own pizza is a must! Also crossing our listening to the wild animals is very pleasant :it’s something you will never forget
Thank you very much Filippo and Barbara

Once in a Lifetime. Hopefully More.
To say this property is spectacular would be an understatement. The raw beauty of the surroundings combined with the exquisite restoration of the property is something to behold. We were taken care of from the moment we got there . We took spectacular day trips to some of the most beautiful places in Italy, but returning back to the Villa was always a highlight.
We were married in the garden surrounded by close friends and family. This Villa will always have our hearts and we are forever indebted to it's beautiful owners and property manager for the gift that is Casale Fornaci.

Great remote slice of Chianti!
We just returned from a two-week stay at this Villa and had a wonderful time It was very spacious and comfortable for the six of us. The kitchen was well supplied. The indoor Tuscan grill and outdoor pizza oven were great. The air conditioning worked well and it was much needed. Barbara was helpful and accessible for our questions and needs. The location is perfect for those seeking off-the-beaten-path tranquility. We did many day trips to Florence, Siena, and other small towns. The pool was nice especially for our children...it’s shared with neighbors on property who were lovely to meet. Our overall experience was wonderful and we look forward to staying again in the future.

Beautiful Remote Villa
Highlights of the stay were making pici pasta, pizza in the pizza oven and grilling meat over the open fire in the kitchen. We didn’t need the air conditioner as the evenings were cool. There is another property and a few other apartments in the villa but it still felt very private especially on the loggia and courtyard. The neighbors are very nice. We enjoyed speaking with them. Barbara gave us a good orientation when we arrived and was easily accessible by text/email. The welcome basket was phenomenal and the refrigerator and pantry were well stocked. I’ve never experienced so much complimentary food provided in a rental. We didn’t have to shop until the next day. The nearest grocery stores are in Castelnuovo Berardenga about 20 minutes drive. We preferred Simply Market, smaller and a little farther than the Coop. The meat there was really good.
The town of San Gusmè is a short drive. There are a few restaurants there. Driving on the local roads was a challenge as many towns had narrow curvy roads.
It took us 1hr 40 min from Firenze and 40 min to Siena.
The only negatives were: the microwave didn’t work, the coach house was a little damp and there was some variation in water temperature in some of the showers.
The bathrooms were all clean, modern and updated; beds were comfortable(firm), sheets pillows and comforters all clean and smelled fresh; plenty of towels for bathroom and pool. The kitchen was also well stocked with dishes, coffee makers, pots and pans, etc.
Overall we had a wonderful time. I highly recommend this rental

Thank you for the detailed review and kind words Gina. We’re very pleased that you enjoyed the villa and that you had everything you needed.
Thank you for bringing matters to my attention and we are currently addressing your concerns.
The microwave is being replaced for a new one as we speak, the coach house has sometimes been found a little damp earlier in the season after a long winter, we will open it sooner next season in order to avoid this.
The water pressure in the surrounding area is always a little lower in summer and most houses are affected, but we will inspect the shower heads regardless. I would be happy to host you again in the future, thank you again for everything and hope you enjoy the rest of your summer. Cordialmente, Filippo

Beautiful villa situated in beautiful Tuscan setting!
Our family of 5 and 2 friends had an amazing time at the villa! Lots of room and beautiful bedrooms. It's located in a very quiet setting, we loved the serenity, the view, and listening to the birds during the day and frogs and crickets at night. We hired a chef for a night and regretted not booking him for more! The manager Barbara was very welcoming, helpful and available for any questions we had. Overall we had a lovely time at this beautiful villa!

Amazingly Authentic!
I would totally recommend this property. It's exactly what you picture a Tuscan villa should be. From the indoor wood grill, to the amazing outdoor space, this villa met all our dreams. It was a perfect get away from the hussel and bussel of Florence.

This estate is incredible.
This estate is incredible - we were stunned by its beauty from the moment we stepped out of the car. The serenity of the surroundings, those knock-out sunsets and the smell of wild mint and rosemary everywhere make this place a total paradise. The villa combines the historical features of the original architecture with modern conveniences inside so you get the best of both worlds. Highlights of our stay: making lunch in the courtyard pizza oven, drinking amazing local wine on the veranda, dinners cooked over the wood fire indoors, and everything we could need already thoughtfully accommodated. Beds were very comfortable and we slept so well with all that fresh Tuscan air. It felt like a once in a lifetime experience to spend the week in this idyllic place. Thank you!

Stunning and Serene
Pictures don't do this place justice! The surrounding estate is beautiful and serene. The house was well maintained with plenty of space for our family to roam especially our 2 children. Cooking in the wood oven was a special treat and I wish we had done it more often. It's a very short 20 minute drive to Sienna but our preference was to stick to the smaller less tourist centric towns in the area. We loved San Gusme 10 mintues away and suggest the 50 min drive to Cortona.

Spectacular Tuscan Villa!
9 of us were accommodated easily for a week in this beautiful villa. It is truly a wonderful house on a spectacular piece of land situated on a 100 hectare wine and olive tree estate. In addition to the normal kitchen appliances, the home also has both an indoor wood burning grill that we cooked three meals on as well as an outdoor pizza oven that we also used with great results. Our days included wine tours, visiting Sienna, chilling by the pool, walking the property, and shopping for shoes in near by towns. At the end of the day we looked forward to just taking in the wonderful sunsets sitting on the balcony, and talking about the day, while we started burning the wood to start dinner. It was truly a great week,
I'd like to thank Fil for his help and patience in helping us organize this trip and switching the dates for us many times without once getting mad at me! Always responded quickly to any questions we had. If you get the chance to stay in Tuscany you need to think of this villa first. We loved it.

Beautiful retreat , perfect location
Casale Fornaci is a comfortable and well appointed property on the beautiful Villa Arceno estate. This was our first visit to Tuscany, and after touring the area for two weeks, I think we chose the perfect location. We loved the local area and thoroughly enjoyed the Villa, the estate, the local villages and of course day trips to Siena, Pienza, Arezzo and more. We are food lovers and access to local ingredients, restaurants, wineries and of course the amenities (pizza oven!!!) of Fornaci, were the highlight of our trip. We were two families with teenagers and the house, gardens and pool served us well. My only comment is the house is part of a condominium with three other villas/apartments, so managing the noise of teenagers and pool sharing/hours were adjustments we had not planned on. Filippo and Barbara were the perfect hosts - I have rented many homes but not with the level of hospitality and warmth they provided. As a hospitality professional myself, I cannot give them enough praise! I can't wait to return.
