Thank you, we are very happy.
We try to accommodate families in the best way
Lots to explore from this beautiful medieval property.
A relaxing stay in this charming medieval property amid the beautiful chianti hills. An ideal getaway for family or friends. Great facilities, wonderful location. Lots of interesting places to visit nearby including vineyard tours and tasting and close enough to Siena and Florence for sightseeing, art and shopping. Spectacular views in every direction.
We loved staying in this ancient apartment! We ended up spending 5 weeks living here. The master bedroom at the top was our favorite!! The kitchen was great, the downstairs shower had fantastic water pressure, the neighborhood was beautiful, the neighbors were quiet, we felt safe, and we really were impressed by the fabulous communication we had with the hosts before and during our stay. They were simply lovely.
Our three year old granddaughter thought it was her castle and that she was a princess. Michele and Elisabetta remain exquisite hosts and the neighbors are very welcoming.
Rental cars and train system allowed us to visit neighboring cites.
Overall, a wonderful vacation!!!!

Great Tuscan Home
We rented this property for one week in April, 2015. The property is very clean and spacious and had all the amenities. We used this place as a launch point to discover Tuscany, making day trips to Florence, Pisa, Luca, Bologna, Parma, Sienna and others. The owner is very friendly and helpful and met our every need. We especially enjoyed the welcome basket she provided. I highly recommend this place for families or small groups.
Great property, local neighbors can be a little loud (walls seem thin). If I were to make one suggestion it would be label the inside trash cans, 5 different bins outside for different types of trash is a bit difficult to understand.

Thank you for your suggestion. Now we have put some colored bins. Usually the neighbors have never been noisy and it's the first time we've been told.
A very beautiful property and grounds, in the middle of the Tuscan countryside
The patio area with charcoal grill amongst the olive trees was a beautiful setting for snacks and meals
The house inside was very rustic and authentic but comfortable and the kitchen and bathroom s are well equipped
Our hosts were very friendly and the welcome bottle of wine and fresh fruit basket was a wonderful touch after a long day of travelling
The neighbours were lovely we spoke to several of them though a language barrier Google translate did the job

Lovely spot. Nice and large with lots of room for a big family. You are in the country - so you’ll walk 500-1500 metres to a town to buy food. Car is a great idea. Views from the property are unparalleled.
No screens on windows so mosquito coils that were provided were helpful. A/c worked well in the two bedrooms they had it in.
Would definitely rent again!
This wonderful old house exceeded all expectations! Surrounded by beautiful vistas of olive trees, grapevines, and medieval Tuscany villages, everywhere you look could be the background of a Da Vinci painting. Great walks, amazing food (check out Casalta and di Buzzanca!), and easy access to Florence, cooking classes, wine tasting, art! And at the end of every amazing day, you come home to this house -- so well-equipped, so clean, so spacious and comfortable, and great wifi. Wisteria and sunshine!
Es gibt nur Gutes über dieses Ferienhaus zu sagen. Der Besitzer war vor Ort als wir ankamen, wies uns ein und gab uns sogar Tips für Restaurants in der Nähe. Die Lage ist perfekt für Trips nach San Gimignano, Siena und Florenz. Das "kleine mittelalterliche Dorf" ist genau das, klein, freundliche Nachbarn, unglaublich romantisch. Das Haus selbst ist riesig und authentisch eingerichtet. Die Küche ist gut bestückt, der Besitzer hatte Gewürze, Kaffee, Pasta, Obst etc bereitgestellt. Wirklich ein super Service und ein toller Aufenthalt.
What a beautiful place! The views were gorgeous- like having a live post card on every window. Hosts were very flexible and helpful - I am already dreaming about coming back for a longer stay
Très bel endroit pour quelques jours en Toscane. Nous avons passé 4 nuits chez Michele e Elisabeth, avec 2 jours de visites à Florence et 1 à Sienne et San Geminiano. L’alternance de la foule - surtout à Florence- avec le calme et la beauté du petit hameau où se trouve la maison était un bon équilibre. Nos hôtes nous ont donné de très bons conseils et adresses. Seule opportunité d’amélioration, qui ne dépend pas de nos hôtes : à quand des chemins piétonniers hors route pour se promener dans la campagne ?Adresse que nous recommandons chaudement.
Accueil chaleureux . Maison confortable bien aménagée et située dans un hameau très calme et typique.Notre objectif était de faire découvrir la Toscane à un jeune couple et à leurs enfants . La proximité de Florence est un atout ainsi que celle de Sienne. San Gimignano et Volterra ne sont pas loin . La maison est agréable , nous étions 7 chacun peut avoir son espace ce qui est bien appréciable après une journée de visites.
Maison médiévale au sein d’un havre de paix (hameau) de quelques habitants tous plus sympathiques les uns que les autres et située à une cinquantaine de mètres de la départementale voisine. Lieu stratégique privilégié pour visiter la Toscane entre Pise, Florence et Sienne. Je conseille vivement !
Blauer Himmel - Sonnenschein, 23-24°
Außergewöhnliche Unterkunft - herrliche Landschaft -
viele interessante Städte in unmittelbarer Nähe
Wir haben es rundherum genossen!
Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen und auch die Kommunikation lief hervorragend. Es wurde alles erklärt und wir haben uns gut zurecht gefunden.
Der einzige Kritikpunkt ist eigentlich nur, dass das vierte Schlafzimmer mit den zwei Einzelbetten nicht abgetrennt ist, sondern im Treppenhaus ist. Es ist zwar mit einem Vorhang etwas abgetrennt und mit einer Klima ausgestattet, aber halt kein eigener Raum.
Das Haus ist wirklich schön, vor allem das Panoramazimmer.
Wie zu erwarten ist es im August sehr heiss und da nicht alle Räume klimatisiert sind, sollte man sich überlegen, ob man das will.
Es war alles sehr sauber, wir haben Empfehlungen bekommen und hatten eine wunderbare Zeit! Wir können das Haus und die Gastgeber sehr empfehlen!
Viele Grüße
Tutto perfetto, spazi a sufficienza e dotazioni più che sufficienti. Unico neo ( non dichiarato) la camera sul soppalco è di passaggio in un corridoio/ingresso x le altre camere, non vi è privacy.
Comunque giudizio più che positivo.
We intentionally picked a rental away from the high tourist areas. Our goal was to learn the Italian lifestyle. This rental was perfect. It is located within walking distance of 3 small towns but only a short driving distance from some larger towns which gave us access to food, dining, as well as train service. The interior was unique with rooms on multiple levels. It should be noted there are a lot of stairs. The view from our bedroom window was outstanding. During our stay we were able to watch the harvesting of both grapes and olives. On our walks we were able to visit with the families harvesting. They showed us their process and allowed us to take pictures. Our host Michele responded quickly all our requests. We all really enjoyed our stay.
