We were warmly welcomed by Rita, our host. The house is beautiful and is locatedsurrounded by old olive trees in the middle of a lush garden. The amenities were satisfactory; whenever something was missing, Rita took care of it very quickly. Although the pool was still a bit chilly in May, it was a big hit with our family. The house has plenty of space, even for a very large family. We’d love to come back.

We had a great experience! Rita communicated very well from the start of our reservation until after we arrive back home. She was helpful with local ideas for activities and reservations, but was not hovering. The location and house fit our need very well. It is walkable to a little village with a coffee shop, small grocery store for essentials and a nice family restaurant open on weekends. It is a 15 minute drive to a larger town with a supermarket. The house is away from traffic and neighbors so very quiet. It was a peaceful and welcoming place to return to every evening after day trips to Florence, Siena, and San Gimignamo.

Great location, great host

We had a wonderful stay in Villa Rita. Rita was very supportive in her explanation on the property, on things to do and places to visit or not to visit. She even very pro-actively supported us with groceries, since we arrived just before the easter holidays and everything would have been closed.

Perfect Tuscan Vacation!

Just what you want for a Tuscan farmhouse vacation. Beautiful house, with rustic feel, but modern amenities. Air conditioning was really welcome because we were there during a heat wave. Rita is a great host and can give lots of recommendations. Highly recommended!

Wonderful rural property

Casanova is a perfect Tuscan farmhouse on a hill with gorgeous views and a lovely host. It is a classic Italian rural home but with a very efficient air conditioning which was an absolute godsend in the heat of 2022. Rita also kindly adapted one of the downstairs rooms for my daughter who uses a wheelchair. Thanks so much!!

Authentic Tuscan villa in secluded, peaceful lovation

We all thoroughly enjoyed the homely nature of this villa which remains a family home. There are sufficient modern conveniences to give a comfortable stay without the feeling that the authenticity of the villa has been compromised. It has all the qualities you would expect of an older important grand wine estate house with plenty of outdoor spaces for shade or sunbathing and a lovely pool, table tennis and hammock. Communication with Rita, the owner who lives close by was wonderful and she does everything she can to give you support if required but remains unobtrusive. We had a wonderfully relaxing 11 nights here enabling us to see much of the local area and included days in Siena and Florence

Heavenly!

We visited during a July heat wave and had a fantastic time. Day trips to Siena, Florence, wineries with great local advice from our wonderful host Rita. Returning “home” to air conditioning and the wonderful pool was amazing. It was easy to cook meals at home or drive to local restaurants. Rita is a generous and attentive host, always checking to make sure we have enough towels for the pool, arranging a special visit to the Galatrona tower, sharing her spectacular family wine, and even taking in our laundry when it unexpectedly rained one afternoon while we were visiting Siena. We would love to return again to this magical place!

Wonderful Villa

We had a fantastic time staying at Villa Casanova. It is so beautiful there under the splendid oaks looking out over the beautiful Tuscan countryside we didn’t want to leave. Rita, our host was so warm, welcoming & charming and helped us with everything we needed to organise. The villa has a perfect location close to supermarkets and local restaurants and an easy train ride from Florence, while feeling so peaceful up in the hills. The villa itself was great for the kids as well, they loved playing table tennis & volley ball in the pool. There are lots of lovely walks too especially to the Tower Galatrona, from the top of which you can see the whole of Tuscany, just wonderful. Thank you Rita so much we had a truly beautiful holiday. Bryony and all the family.

We spent a wonderful week at this beautiful Tuscan villa with our family, and it was an unforgettable experience. The location is absolutely stunning, set in a classic countryside, the villa itself has all the charm you’d expect from traditional Tuscan villa.The outdoor space was a highlight for us: we made great use of the swimming pool every day, and the ping pong table was a big hit with everyone. We also enjoyed using the grill in the evenings, perfect for relaxing and dining.Our host, Rita, was incredibly kind, welcoming, and always helpful. She made us feel right at home and was available whenever we had questions or needed recommendations.Florence was about an hour’s drive away, which made day trips to the city very manageable. The nearby towns were also beautiful and full of character, we loved exploring the area.All in all, we had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend this villa to anyone looking for an authentic and relaxing Tuscan getaway.

We had an absolutely wonderful week at Villa Rita. Rita was so helpful to our family. She set up a crib for our 19 month old travelling with us. When we arrived the first day, there was milk for her and a bottle of wine for us. Rita was available to answer any of our questions. The photos represent the home perfectly. The kitchen was set up with everything one needed to cook meals. The COOP to get groceries was within a 10 minute car ride. We walked 8-10 minutes down the hill into the town of Mercatile to a bakery every morning for fresh bread and croissants. The outdoor pool was a great place to relax and cool off. There is a historical fort one can walk to in about 45 minutes up the hill and it is very scenic. scenic.Venturing out of Bucine, we picked up a train in Montevarchi (a 20 minute car ride max) to head to Florence. Sienna and Arezzo were 45 minute car rides and wonderful cities to see as well. Rita helped to make arrangements to visit 2 vineyards; one we had lunch at and the other dinner. These visits were definitely highlights of our trip. We would love to come back to Villa Rita. Thank you Rita for everything!Erlinde

Ein herrschaftliches Haus in schöner Lage! Sehr empfehlenswert!

Die Villa CASA NOVA mit Pool besticht durch ihren historisch anmutenden Charakter und liegt am Fuße eines wunderschönen Weingutes in Nähe Bucine/Montevarchi. Alle Zimmer des antiken Hauses sind liebevoll erhalten und haben jedes für sich eine ganz eigene persönliche Note. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und von Bucine aus das naheliegende Chianti Gebiet erkundet – für uns immer wieder ein Traum! Rita ist eine sehr freundliche und aufmerksame Vermieterin, sie wohnt auf dem Grundstück nebenan und hat uns mit ihren Erzählungen und vielen guten Tipps begeistert – ein liebenswerter Mensch. Sie ist stets um das Wohl ihrer Gäste bemüht. Wir können die Villa CASA NOVA auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen.

Dolce vita à Bucine

Rita est une personne délicieuse qui sait vous accueillir, en plus elle vous propose des activités comme par exemple les cours de cuisine avec Modesta. Allez-y c'est top ! En ce qui concerne la maison , elle est entre les vignes et les oliviers, à l'abri du bruit, proche du célèbre domaine viticole de Petrolo: un petit coin de paradis! C'est une maison différente des autres, avec beaucoup de charme et d'âme. De nombreuses photos familiales vous rappellent l'histoire de cette famille. Très bien pour les personnes en recherche d'authenticité. Nous, on a adoré ! Bon emplacement pour visiter Florence ( en train) Sienne, Pise et la région du Chianti.
