What a beautiful property in a stunning setting close by incredible hiking trails with amazing sunsets! Tiziana has thought of everything you need inside the house as well. Very relaxing to come 'home' to after a day of sightseeing. We were even able to enjoy the pool in October!Thank you Tiziana for making our stay wonderful. I will remember you kindness in showing me all of your beautiful plants and flowers as we walked around your gardens.
Lovely house and beautiful gardens in a fabulous part of Tuscany. A very restful property after longs days touring Tuscany, and also fabulous for relaxing days around the house and gardens. The surrounding countryside is also fabulous with plenty of opportunities for good walks and cycling. Tiziana was the perfect host.We would love to stay again if we come back this way.

Thank you for your lovely review, it was very nice to host you at my house l'Ovile! You are very welcome to visit again in the future.
What a wonderful week we had in this Tuscan house. Peaceful and tranquil setting, lovely simple Tuscan house. Good local eating options within a few minute drive. A great base for Tuscan exploring. Thank you Tiziana and Marzia for easy communication and lovely hospitality
Cottage is larger than described and outfitted nicely for a couple. We used the kitchen everyday for meals and while the bed was firm, it wasn’t bad. Directions to there were confusing. Basically, head to To
The cute little cottage is surrounded by a big garden full of flowers and a nice and cool (not too big) swimmingpool which is in the sun most of the day. It has loads of character and is fully equipped. For me the big bed was a little bit sweaty because of the memory foam. By car lots of Tuscan villages and sites are easily reached. Our hostess mme Tiziana was wonderful and very helpful.

Beautiful villa in a quiet setting
My girlfriend and I had a great time at this house. Conveniently located close to Sienna, so that we could drive to all the Tuscan attractions. The house is beautiful, with all amenities we wanted. The owner is a very sweet, happy lady and she ensured that we had everything we needed.
Special thanks to her friend Marzia, who was quick to respond to any queries in English and she gave us a nice tour of the house when we arrived too.
We recommend this house.

Charming Farmhouse
This rental oozes charm. The location is ideal for exploring Sienna and the surrounding areas. The road into the property is a bit rough and be careful on the right side of the drive...there is a rock that can cause tire damage. Our host was enthusiastic, friendly and helpful. Her lack of english was not usually a problem with a bit of assistance from google translate. We loved this property and it was more than spacious for our needs.
We unfortunately got held up with our tental car so arrived at the property in the dark.It was a little hard to find and I couldn't get a respnse from owner.Saying that when we did finally find it the beautiful Tiziana had put out a note and left the lights on. When she saw us arrive she came and welcomed us with a big hug.The property is exactly as featured and was perfect for our needs.So happy with everything. It wasnt warm enough to use the pool but it did look nice.Having a drink and cheese platter most evenings on the little patio with its beautiful view was the highlight of our stay. Great location to travel around Tuscany. You definatley need a car.
Pros:
Very pretty home, with a beautiful view!
Very quiet.
Fully equipped kitchen was great.
We enjoyed the pool and taking walks along the road.
The property manager was communicative and very patient with all our questions and booking changes as we planned our trip.
Washing machine, laundry soap, basket, and rack were very much appreciated.
Cons:
Directions to the property were very difficult to follow.
20 minute drive from Siena (which, to be fair, we knew when we booked it).
The beds are not comfortable.
Narrow driveway with low wall that is not visible when entering the property and which damaged our rental vehicle.
Screens and screen door have gaps which allow mosquitoes inside.

An unloved holiday home.
Geographical location is excellent for touring Tuscany, but sadly the facilities are a bit tired. Bathroom is looking rather sad now, with suspect plumbing and taped up shower screen. Not ideal for self catering, just two badly mis-matched mugs and just 3 teaspoons is not a good start and no kettle is provided. The towels provided are very thin and barely do the job they are supposed to. In short more love and care is required which is a shame as Marzia was so helpful when we needed to take our dogs to the local vets. It would not take much time and money to turn this into a little gem as there is an excellent holiday home waiting to be realised.

We will follow your suggestions and try to make the kitchen better equipped, es well as the bathroom facilities.
Ein sehr schönes Ferienhaus auch im Sommer bei Hitze. Fenster und Türen sind alle mit Fliegengaze gesichert, so dass man nachts gut lüften kann. Das Haus ist zweigeschossig und die Betten stehen unten. Dadurh hat man es immer etwas kühl. Der Pool ist sauber und reicht für eine Abkühlung. Hat alles gepasst, gerne wieder.
Wir haben uns zu zweit sehr wohl in dem Ferienhaus und dem wunderschön angelegtem Garten gefühlt. Der Pool ist eine Oase der Erfrischung und die Aussicht von dem überdachten Essplatz ist absolut beeindruckend. Mit dem Auto sind viele bekannte Orte im Chianti Gebiet gut zu erreichen und man ist auch schnell in Siena.

Wir hatten dort seine sehr schöne Woche. Sind zu fünft gereist, dass war dort schon sehr eng. Vielen Dank Tiziana
Nous insistons d 'abord sur la gentillesse, les attentions de Tiziana notre hôte, adorable, et regrettons la barrière de la langue pour n'avoir pu assez lui montrer notre contentement.Gîte typique en pierres (bien frais sous le soleil) dans lequel rien ne manque.Le jardin est le paradis des fleurs, du calme er rien ne manque non plus.A recommander.. vraiment !Encore Bien Merci Tiziana.
Wir haben eine wunderschöne Woche in diesem bezaubernden kleinen Häuschen verbracht. Im mit vielen Blumen und Olivenbäumen bepflanzten Garten haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Hier kann man wirklich die Seele baumeln lassen. Tiziana ist eine großartige Gastgeberin. Die Lage ist sehr gut geeignet für Ausflüge nach Siena, Radda und Castellina. Wir kommen gern wieder.
Maison charmante, très adéquate pour une famille avec 2 enfants, propre et avec tout le nécessaire. Très bon emplacement près de Sienne au calme et avec une belle vue. Jardin bien entretenu et piscine très appréciable. A savoir: la dame passe tous les matins et tous les soirs pour la piscine et l'entretien du jardin.
Un accueil chaleureux de la part de tiziane. Petite maison située dans la campagne toscane avec un magnifique jardin fleuris et une piscine pour se détendre. Une maison tout confort ont été aux anges et surtout le calme pour se reposer et proches de tout san gimigniano, siene, montepulciano, pienza et la vallee d'orcia pour les amateurs du film Gladiateur. A très bientot tiziana et merci pour votre générosité
Dieses kleine Haus liegt wunderschön ruhig und die Fotos spiegeln den fantastischen Garten überhaupt nicht wider. Der Garten ist riesig und wird liebvoll von Tiziana gepflegt. Viele wunderschöne Orte ( Siena, Florenz,Volterra, Montepulciano, uvm.) sind nur 1h oder weniger entfernt. Wir hatten einen ganz tollen Aufenthalt und waren traurig nach 10 Tagen wieder fahren zu müssen.
Ein Juwel für Naturliebhaber . Ein tolles , liebevoll renoviertes Steinhaus mit einem großen Garten und vielen Blumen und Bäumen.Leider konnten wir den Pool nicht nutzen, da es uns noch zu kalt war. Wir wären gerne noch geblieben.
