Our family of 21 people (10 adults and 21 children, aged 0-11!) stayed at Podere Le Rondini for a week and had a fantastic time. The property is beautiful, and the rooms had everything we needed. Each room has its own bathroom, and there are common living and kitchen areas on both floors. Additionally, Nicola is an absolute gem and helped us with everything from dinner reservations to tours to translating, and much more. Overall, this property is an amazing place to stay as a base for Tuscany, and we can't say anything negative about it!

Nicola is by far the best host I have ever had. We ended up staying at both Podere Le Rondini, and his uncle's property at Le Rondini Blu.
My wife and I had 28 guests in total, and got married on the grounds as well. Nicola was so extremely helpful and attentive. He answered every question with haste and compassion.
The pictures alone don't do the Villa justice. This is one of the most beautiful properties I've ever been at. With easy transportation from Florence, there isn't a better place to bring a large group and celebrate paradise together.
He was very resourceful and provided us with his amazing wine extensive list of stores and necessities, laundry, activities... I can continue to go on. He also provided us information to help with the planning of our wedding, including an amazing recommendation to a caterer, Chef Tales.
Nicola and this villa will forever be an integral part of my marriage, and I can't thank him enough for being so helpful.
Nicola, my wife and I will be booking our 10 year anniversary here as well!!

We we very fortunate to have found a week in August still open at this property for our group of 11 after another villa cancelled a 2-week stay on us at the last minute (sending us into a full panic as the trip had been planned for 2 years). The villa was nice and adequately stocked. It made for a perfect base from which to explore Tuscany.
What really made our stay special though was the host Nicola. He helped us with everything from having the villa pre-stocked with groceries, to suggestions on where to visit (including where to park) and even made dinner reservations for us at recommended local restaurants.
As I am writing this, we are now at different villa for our second week in Tuscany. Despite it being a little fancier, it is missing the personal touches and warmth that Nicola brought to our experience.
Highly recommend. Thank you Nicola.

Best stay in Italy!
Nicola was the consumate host. He was always at the ready, literallty anticipating our needs. The Villa was beautiful and everything we expected. There were no problems or issues that could not be readily and easily solved. Orietta, our hired cook, and her husband were amazing!
We'll be back, in drier, warmer weather, however. We can't wait to simply relax and enjoy the beautiful Tuscany countryside and all its glory at least one more time!!!! Thank You Nicola for making every possible situation, the very very best!

Beautiful compound in Tuscany awaits your family.
We wanted a comfortable and well situated villa to use as our home base for seeing Florence and the surrounding Tuscan towns. Our stay at Podere le Rodini did not disappoint. Owner/manager Nicola was fantastic providing everything we requested (a/c, towels, wine to try at dinner, name of a chef, laundry etc). His wife even brought us a cake. Our villa was large, clean, fully equipped and had gorgeous views of the surround vineyards and olive groves. We relaxed happily by the large pool and dined outside. My boys ran everyday in the vineyards, laughing about a horse who would race them from inside its enclosure. We are very grateful for this experience and think other families would enjoy this fantastic villa.

Tuscany villa
We had a wonderful trip and enjoyed our stay completely. We had a group of 21 and the villa met our needs perfectly, we were able to take day trips during the day and let the kids enjoy the pool in the afternoon/ evening. Nicola was wonderful to work with and we had a chef, Franco, who was amazing as well. Fully recommend!

Perfect from the start. Wonderful location in central Tuscany, just 35 mins from Florence. Endless great day trips and cycling heaven.The property is breathtaking, overlooking the valley and their working grape and olive orchards. The rooms are extra large, each with full baths, showers and seating areas. Multiple large, well equipped kitchens and gathering rooms. Kids loved the pool at the end of each day. We had 19, could have taken 24, with room to spare.The owner, Nicola, is on site and was wonderful answering all our questions , proving wine and assisting with travel plans. Note, fabulous grocery store and restaurants in town, but a car is needed. We used their chef most nights, but loved cooking in between.We stayed 9 days and just loved it!!!

Perfection in Tuscany
We rented the whole main house for 2 families occupying 7 bedrooms and there was still room to spare. The property is in immaculate condition. About 40 minutes from Florence but easy to get too if you have your own vehicle. Lots of great restaurants near by, loved Casa Di Chianti - treated like family on our first visit, and the Bistrot Lo Zero was fabulous. Nicola is great, take the tour of his winery. It only takes an hour but very fun and informative. His English is excellent which helps with getting information on things to do.

WONDERFUL ESTATE AND WONDERFUL HOSTS
PODERE LE RONDINI is a real Tuscan estate, the VILLA COLONICA has plenty of space for a large group as ours, of 20 people. Very large bedrooms, each one with its private (internal) bathroom. Nicola asked us how we liked to have each bedroom arranged (if with king-size bed, or 2 single beds, or some triple-bedrooms) and he did as requested. The Villa is very clean and tidy and has 3 kitchens. It was very comfortable. The outside is great: from the swimmingpool (VERY , VEYR LARGE) you can enjoy a wondeful view. Last but not least I have to mention Nicola and his family: he made everything and more to make us comfortable and to meet all our requests, always with a smile on his face. He is a very attentive owner and me and my family will come back here for sure. We have had many holidays in Tuscany , but PODERE LE RONDINI has been the best place ever! A true dream! Nicola can also set at guests' disposal air-co portable units that are keeping the Villa's interior at a good fresh temperature. THANK YOU NICOLA and FAMILY: you are the best!!!

Great stay with Nicola at Podere le Rondini
I was there from NY with my daughter, together with 20 of our closest family from Norway. The Villa and Nicola exceed our expectations. It was great, clean, safe (gated) and very comfortable. The pool and patio between the houses were great places to spend time with the family.
Nicola was a very helpful and gracious host, always full of ideas for sightseeing or places to eat, or with provisions (wine and olive oil). We had Chefs recommended by Nicola which was awesome, and ordered lasagna for 20 from the local coop/supermarket. Overall a great experience, enjoyed by everyone from ages 1 to 60!
We hope to come back!

Great stay in Tuscany.
We were a group of 17 in the big villa. The location is great, the villa is spotlessly clean, the pool is huge, and the grounds are beautiful. The villa is really set up as multiple units, so the downstairs area is a bit choppy, but we had plenty of room. Every bedroom is large and has its own bathroom. Nicola is a wonderful host. He makes the effort to be sure guests are taken care of.
There are 3 buildings for guests. The smaller villa is very close to the large villa. If you're planning outside dinners, it could be an issue for your neighbors. Also, we lucked out on cooler weather, but with no a/c in the bedrooms, it gets pretty warm during the day. We all slept with open windows, so it worked out ok.
Overall a great place at a very reasonable price, and a great host. Would definitely recommend.

Perfecto
Along with 6 other couples My husband and myself,stayed at Rondini for 8 days. It was glorious. From beginning to end our host Nicola was helpful and so friendly.
The location was perfect. All our rooms and kitchens were clean and cozy. We were served breakfast the first morning at Nicolas parents home. It was delicious. He then helped us to work out the places to visit and dine. The wine and olive oil that they produce is some of the best in the region. At the end of our stay we wrote down what all we were thankful to God for on this trip. We filled a page but the best one was "I am thankful for the breathtaking view each morning out my window"

Absolutely Fabulous!
A longtime dream of renting a villa in Tuscany came true this year, and Podere le Rondini exceeded everything we had hoped for! Our group of 13 included couples and grown children, who all convened at the villa after different travel itineraries throughout Europe. The location, just outside of Montespertoli was incredibly beautiful. The villa was charming, comfortable, immaculate, cozy, and inviting. Each spacious room had it's own bath, and also provided a quiet spot away from the others if needed. While it was too cool to swim while we were there, the villa has a very nice pool. Nicola, our host, could not have been more helpful! He assisted us with recommendations on day trips - Lucca, Pisa, Siena, Florence, as well as restaurants we would never have known about otherwise. He helped arrange transportation from Florence when part of our group had a later arrival. We enjoyed going into Montespertoli for groceries and treats! We had 2 evenings where a chef cooked for us at the villa, and we loved, loved, LOVED the wine from their vineyard! It was a magical week spent sightseeing and relaxing, and coming "home" to our villa everyday made it even better. All of us have done nothing but rave about our gracious host Nicola and the wonderful time at Podere le Rondini. We recommend it highly!

Breathtaking and Memorable Week in Tuscany!
Our group of 7 couples (friends from college) recently concluded a magical week's stay at Podere le Rondini. Nicola, Allesandra, Paola, and their family welcomed us with open arms. After a delayed flight and long journey, we enjoyed our first meal and night together on the 2nd floor porch of Paola's residence. She had lovingly prepared a meal of antipasto, pasta"pici", skewers of pork, chicken, and outrageous sausages. All the while, the carafes of wonderful, red wine from their vineyard flowed. The meal was capped with a slice of her homemade cake and a shot of Lemoncello. The accomodations at Podere exceeded our expectations! The Capacie comfortably housed six couples while a seventh stayed in an apartment tucked behind Paola's villa. Lemon and olive trees with views of Montespertoli and beyond were our landscape. Day trips to Siena, Venice, Lucca, Florence, and the lovely hilltop town of Volterra were all reachable from our villa. Although we enjoyed our travels, the underrated, charming town of Montespertoli was a ten minute drive away. Markets, food, shopping, wonderful restaurants, and evening volleyball games were all available in this modest town. When we come again, we will likely choose to spend more time reading by the lovely (and large) pool and simply taking in our surroundings. To Nicola and Paola...how can we thank you enough for your constant patience and guidance and ALWAYS with a smile! Paola, we will never forget how you prepared a Sparkler cake for us on the 4th of July and how you danced with us to Frankie Valle and the Four Seasons!! You have not only been perfect hosts, but also, role models for how one should live life. We will never forget you and our time at your welcoming villa. We truly hope to return one day soon!!

Family gathering!
We were a large group and our host was very helpful in suggesting places to visit, the easiest way to get there as well as restaurants and so on. The villa was well furnished and every room had a fantastic view of the Tuscan countryside. Our host Nicola and his mother Poala were super. Poala cooked 2 wonderful meals for our group. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone thinking of visiting this area. You do not need to be a large group because the villa can be divided up into smaller apartments.

We were greeted by our host Nicola Le Rondini and his mother Paola. Both of the couldn't have been more accommodating. The villa was lovely and our hosts were very helpful in telling us about places to visit and even making bookings for us at restaurants. I would highly recommend anyone thinking of going to Tuscany to visit Podere Le Rondini.

Perfect Stay in Beautiful Villa
Podere Le Rondini far exceeded our expectations! We rented the villa for 20 family members to celebrate my parents 50th wedding anniversary. We could not have asked for a more perfect villa, more beautiful setting or more gracious hosts than we had at Podere Le Rondini! The villa is updated, clean and spacious. The countryside is beautiful with rolling vineyards that can be seen through each window. Owners, Nicola and Paola were very attentive throughout the rental process and when needed for questions, directions or restaurant reservations. They had coffee, juice and pastries for us on our first morning since we arrived late the evening before. They prepared a beautiful dinner for us on the patio and we hired Salvatore to sing for us as we danced the night away. We created memories that will never be forgotten. This property is very central for day trips. I highly recommend that you go to this property. Search no further. In addition to the villa they also have beautiful apartments.

Perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh where do I start.. The villa was perfect with 5 bedroom and 5 ensuite baths perfect for 5 couples traveling together. Nicola and his family were very gracious in sharing their home with us... The propery was very well manicured, clean and had a spectacular views of the Tuscan country side. The location was perfect for many wonderful day trips to Pisa, Florence, Siena, San Gimignano and many more we did not have enough time to visit.. Nicola presented us with wine from his and the surrounding vinyards...Take advantage well worth the cost.. he was always available for any request, Molte grazie e baci, Nicola. Take advantage of a Tuscan dinner prepared by Nicola and his Mother, what a culanary delight. The only thing I would say was uncomfortable was there was no A/C. If you keep the windows closed during the day while you are away it is cool but at night, then welcome to Italy in June.. I would recommend this villa to all... abbiamo avuto un tempo meraviglioso con i nostri nuovi amici italiani (we had a wonderful time with our new Italian friends) thank you to Nicola and his family for the wonderful memories we will have forever.

Amazing Tuscan Adventure!
Beautiful Villa in a beautiful setting! Great place to come with a bunch of couples or with kids. We enjoyed swimming in the pool everyday and day trips to Sienna, Florence and vineyards throughout the region. The Villa is not far from Sienna or Florence. At night we'd come back to an incredible home-cooked Tuscan feast prepared just for us by Chef Paola. The food was delicious and we drank the wine from the Villa's own vineyard (Valvirginio) which is as good as some of the best wines I have tasted. Nicola and Paola are such wonderful hosts. They always greeted us with a smile and were so warm. Paola was especially great with my 2 kids (11 and 5) and she went out of her way to make sure that all of the food that she prepared for us for breakfast of dinner did not contain any nuts or nut oils as my daughter has a fatal nut allergy. If you are looking for a special and memorable vacation in Tuscany, I would highly recommend Podere Le Rondini Villa!

Just returned from 3 weeks at Podere le Rondini, it was PERFECTION! Nicola, Paola, Mario are the most wonderful hosts, we felt like famiy. The villa is spacious, comfortable, spotlessly clean, setting magnificent, gardens beautiful. Nicola, Paola and Mario do everything for you. We had meals twice a week made by Paola (for about 26 of us) which were delicious and beautifully presented, works of art! We also enjoyed music and song by Salvatore D'Ambrosio, a charming, delightful and talented singer and piano player. They helped our large group with driving, wine tasting, vineyard tours, sightseeing tours, anything we asked was graciously done and more! It was all one could dream of about a holiday in Italy, straight out of a movie! Could go on, but "perfection" sums it up! Hope to return!

Our stay was fabulous! The owners were so hospitable and accomodating to our family. The villa was great! It was clean, new-like, beautiful view of Tuscany. Italy is wonderful! This villa is in a perfect location to Florence, Sienna and the Medieval Walled city and more. The views are breathtaking. The food cooked for us by the owners were terrific. We also enjoyed ourselves by the indoor fire place. The owners were extremely helpful! No crowds at this time. I would recommend this villa to friends and family.

1. The hospitality was second to none! The Carafa family tried to help with what ever we needed. 2. The Villa was beautiful and well maintained. 3. The food that Paola prepared was great! 4. The pool was large and refreshing. 5. The location was perfect. Close to all the attractions but far enough away to enjoy true Tuscan living.6. The Carafa family will always have a special palace in our hearts! It was our 50th wedding anniversary. We had our family of 14 with us and Nicola, Paola, and Mario made it a very special occasion! A very special thanks to The Carafa family from each and every member of our family! You will remain in our memories forever!

Our stay at Podere Le Rondini was all that we expected and more. It was the most fabulous vacation we have had in years. The description on the internet was accurate with the property very clean and well maintained. The customer service was outstanding and would recommend this listing to anyone. The owner provided us with many attractions and we choose to do horseback riding in which he had us follow him because we would of never found it. It was spectacular! We rode through the olive trees and grape vinyards. My children loved it! They also provided for us 4 outstanding tuscan dinners at a great price. It was great because they served you and they did all the clean up. Their hospitality was fabulous and anytime you needed anything they were there to help in anyway that they could. In addition, they produce their own wine and olive oil. Their wine (Rose) and olive oil that they served at dinner was awesome. We purchased a good amount of the wine and olive oil and wished that we had bought more. They also sell a few other things (hand and shower gel) made of olive oil that was also wonderful. They also give you samples of several things that they sell in which will be in the area you rented. The views are breath taking and if you want to experience the fabulous vacation that we did, you should book now! The nice thing about this property too, is that it is very central to many things such as Pisa, Florence, Cinque Terre, Chianti and many awesome hill towns. Nicola, Paola and the rest of the family are awesome!

Our family of five (mother, father, and three sons -- 21-24 years old) thoroughly enjoyed our week-long stay at Podere Le Rondini. From waking in the morning with a gorgeous view of the rolling hills of Tuscany, to a quick swim in the pool after a day of touring, to late-night dinners and wonderful wines on the patio, it was a very memorable week.
Nicola and his parents, Paola and Mario, are a wonderful help in suggesting places of interest in the region. The villa is a short drive from Florence, we also took day-trips to Siena, Volterra, Monteriggio, San Gimignano, Pisa, and Lucca -- as well as regularly visit Montespertoli for groceries and gelato! The Colonica villa was wonderful with its modern amenities, but its old world, relaxed feel. It was just what we needed in the middle of an on-the-go Italian vacation. We hope when we return Nicola will have been able to open his on-premises restaurant (I suspect it will have earned a great reputation and we'll eat there often!).
And stated, Nicola made us feel very welcome: Early in our stay, one of our sons developed a nagging cold, and Nicola became our intermediary in working with the late-night pharmacist in procuring the medicine to help our son get back on his feet. Nicola also arranged a tour of one of the local wineries -- and attended with us to provide the proper introductions. His and Mario's recommendations for local wines (and to steer clear of most grappa...) opened our eyes to locally produced reds and whites that tasted great and were a great value. (We also look forward to tasting the wines that Podere Le Rondini will begin producing by the time we return, if the olive oil they produce is any indication!)
We look forward to someday returning to Tuscany, and we would very much like to spend more time at Podere Le Rondini. Ciao!
