Pictures and description don’t due the property justice. My wife and i were planning to use it as a base for touring other areas. After a day here we changed our plans and just chilled. Guido gave us great reccomendations for food and sites. The view was amazing over the village of Londa and surrounding countryside. The history of the ranch house and dwellings are amazing. We were on a two week trip of Italy and we agreed this was our favorite.

What a beautiful property set against an absolutely stunning backdrop. This truly was a once in a lifetime holiday and if you are seeking peace and tranquility, a beautiful old villa (perfectly cool and dark for those very hot days!) and a warm, congenial host, this is it. Guido and Barbara went above and beyond to make our stay perfect, from sharing info on the local area, to lending us clothes when our cases didn’t arrive and a gin and tonic and nibbles on our last evening. Thoroughly recommend!

It was a pleasure to stay in Guido’s beautiful Villa. The place had endless character and charm. It was very quiet. Close for day trips to Florence and Poppi, which was an incredible alternative to the touristy towns. We also had the best meals at Mandri nearby - all locals - and got to meet Guido’s charming family. The home was a step back in time and a perfect escape for a quiet week in Italy. A. A

Thank you so much, for your wonderful words! It was a real pleasure to host you at our Caiano Villa, and we’re so happy to hear that you appreciated the authentic atmosphere, the peaceful setting, and the beauty of the surrounding area. Poppi truly is a hidden gem, and we're glad you experienced it as a quieter alternative to the more touristy spots. My family also really enjoyed meeting you!

A Tuscany Dream

We spend 2 weeks at the Villa in the fattoria caiano and the time there surpassed our expectations. Guido Gori has given us plenty of Information beforehand, the Place is a tuscany dream. The Villa with the original furniture and kitchen, the fattoria with all its history , the view , the flowers, the fresh and deep pool in the olive grove, the sunset, the surrounding woods and the village of Londa, the invaluable tips for excursions and restaurants by Guido , the waterfalls, the „apperitivos“together with Friends and Neighbours - everything authentic Guidos interest in Contemporary Art made some exzeptionell excursions possible. The Perfect Place for reading , relaxing, good wine and conversation , nature and history unmimited included.

tranquil mountain villa

We stayed at this very special villa for 6 nights in September. Our host, Guido, was exceptional and we really appreciated his hospitality. We traded maple syrup for olive oil and he invited us to join an evening with his friends and family and made Prosecco/maple syrup cocktails! The property is an historic villa with loads of charm and character and it felt very calming to be here. Two of our favourite meals were in nearby restaurants ( Mandri and La Bottega Di Castagneto). The vista from the property overlooks the mountains of Tuscany and is spectacular. We had a wonderful walk/hike in the nearby Park Nazionale Delle Foreste Casentinesi. Next time we would take advantage of the nearby train into Florence. The pool view is gorgeous. Our weather was cool due to the end of September and the roads are typical mountain roads. Would love to return.

Fantastische Unterkunft in einem alten Landgut, das über Jahrhunderte im Familienbesitz ist und liebevoll in alter originaler Ausstattung (mit modernen Anteilen) incl Bibliothek gepflegt wird. Das weitläufige Anwesen wird teilweise weiter von der Familie genutzt, die auch die Vermietung übernimmt. Guido und seine Ehefrau sind unglaublich herzliche und liebevolle Menschen, mit denen man sich den weitläufigen Hof und Garten teilt, interessante Gespräche führen kann und die jederzeit für Informationen zur Geschichte des Hauses, der Region oder für aktuelle gesellschaftliche Themen zur Verfügung stehen. Daneben gibt es unzählige Ecken und Bereiche, in die man sich zurückziehen kann, um unter einem Olivenbaum die Atmosphäre zu genießen. Der Pool bietet jederzeit Abkühlung und - wie auch die Terrasse in der Mitte das Anwesens - einen wunderschönen Ausblick in die umgebende Appenin-Landschaft. Incl Sonnenuntergang!!!

Für Liebhaber vergangener Zeiten

Man wird herzlich empfangen, was leider den Zustand der Unterkunft nicht ausgleichen kann. WiFi gibt es nur außerhalb der Wohnung, elektrische Geräte können kaum benutzt werden, da sonst die Sicherungen fliegen. Doch das schlimmste war der schimmlige Geruch überall und der Zustand des Bades. Der Garten und die Umgebung sind schön. Bei uns war durchgehend gutes Wetter, so dass wir uns nur zum Schlafen drinnen aufhalten mussten.Generell wurde wenig Komfort geboten, Plastikliegen, Metallstühle usw. Und das leider scheinbar schon seit Jahren s. Bewertung von 2016 bei Tripadviser

Un moment hors du temps

Nous avons passé une merveilleuse semaine dans la fattoria Caiano ! Un endroit perdu, hors du temps, dans les montagnes toscanes ! On respire la campagne (avec des biches qui passent près de vous !), on se ressource dans une belle demeure qui a gardé tout son charme du début du 19e siècle ! Guido, le propriétaire est d'une grande gentillesse, francophone, il nous a donné des bons conseils et nous avons passé grâce à lui de merveilleuses vacances en Toscane ! Merci Guido !

Erholsamer Urlaub

Sehr netter Gastgeber, der sich bemüht alle Wünsche zu erfüllen und gute Tipps parat hat. Wohnung in sehr schön erhaltenem, alten Stil, und trotzdem mit modernen Geräten (Geschirrspüler, Waschmaschine, riesiger Kühlschrank etc.) ausgestattet. Sehr schöner Garten. Gut gefallen hat uns auch, dass das Anwesen durch die Familie des Gastgebers und die anderen Feriengäste sehr lebendig gewirkt hat, man aber trotzdem seine Privatsphäre hatte, weil sich alles auf mehrere Gebäude aufteilt. Natürlich gibt es auch ein paar Dinge, die man verbessern könnte, wie z.B. die etwas unbequemen Betten, die sehr sonnigen Parkplätze und andere Kleinigkeiten - aber wenn man den günstigen Preis berücksichtigt, sollte man auch nicht den absoluten Luxus erwarten.

Très belle propriété, maison ancienne pleine de charme.

L’accueil de Guido et de toute sa famille était très chaleureux. Le fait que beaucoup de personnes parlent français nous a été d'une grande aide. Nous aurions juste aimé savoir, avant notre arrivée, qu'il y aurait d'autres locataires dans la propriété en dehors des propriétaires. Il manquait aussi certains ustensiles de cuisine (dont bols ou mugs, plat à four adaptés au four...). Mais nous avons passé un bon séjour tout de même.

Het is een oud huis, met een paar ongemakken, maar dit stoorde ons niet echt. Je past je snel aan

De woning is ouder, maar zeer fris wat heel aangenaam is! Het uitzicht is schitterend. Een hele mooie omgeving. Het domein zelf is heel goed verzorgd. Je vindt hier echt rust. Het zwembad is wel heel diep, dus voor jonge kinderen die nog niet goed kunnen zwemmen iets minder geschikt. Wij zijn 2 weken in Ronda geweest en het was een zeer relaxe en aangename vakantie. Als je een vakantie zoekt met veel rust en af en toe wat uitstapjes is dit de geschikte plaats!
