“Great few days with our young family!”
Location is perfect for outings in all directions. Spacious apartments, grounds are well kept. Amazing views all around. The fact that you can take long walks (4/5 km) on their own property is a plus for those that want to continue to run / walk a little bit. We saw deer, hare, and lots of lizzards :). Pool was still closed but the water would have been too cold anyway. Their restaurant tips are great too, 3 case was amazing! Don’t forget to take a stroll along the family friendly Elsa river at Colle de Val d’Elsa. Short drive away as well

“Pleasant stay in beautiful surroundings. Would definite consider a second visit.”
The apartment was clean, decently equipped and quiet. We were there in October so we needed to use the heating a little bit. One would wonder how the middle of summer would be since there didn’t seem to be any air conditioners. Communication with the property was excellent. The grounds were also pleasant for a walk around and the scenery was fantastic. We had a rental car so it was easy to visit sites like San Gimignano, Volterra, Siena, Pisa and Florence. For Florence we drove to Certaldo train station and took the train from there since it was easier and calmer than driving into Florence.

The place was so enjoyable we extended our stay by a few more days. We loved the quietness and the view overlooking the valley. Many ducks, rabbits and dears were spotted near the pond on the property.

Beautiful Tuscan buildings with fantastic grounds and views over Tuscany. It is in a great location. San Gimignano about a 15 min drive. Kitchen is stocked with relatively basic equipment but enough to get by. Dim lighting in the house (Il Forno) but partially expected in such an old villa. Pool wasn’t open when we were there (15-25 April) Overall a fantastic trip and a real feel of rural Tuscany. Highly recommend

“A quintessential Tuscan villa - for a quiet escape or adventure.”
The location is in the Tuscan area in beautiful old stone house/s. We had sweeping views of the country and lovely green space to relax with a wine. The location is quiet and peaceful. Our apartment had a good size kitchen and comfortable beds and lounging area. It was a great location to base ourselves and go off for day trips around the country side, visit wineries and to see other villages and attractions -you definitely need a car if you want to make the most of it. We stayed for 4 nights and I could have stayed longer!
