A very beautiful property and grounds, in the middle of the Tuscan countryside
The patio area with charcoal grill amongst the olive trees was a beautiful setting for snacks and meals
The house inside was very rustic and authentic but comfortable and the kitchen and bathroom s are well equipped
Our hosts were very friendly and the welcome bottle of wine and fresh fruit basket was a wonderful touch after a long day of travelling
The neighbours were lovely we spoke to several of them though a language barrier Google translate did the job

Lovely spot. Nice and large with lots of room for a big family. You are in the country - so you’ll walk 500-1500 metres to a town to buy food. Car is a great idea. Views from the property are unparalleled.
No screens on windows so mosquito coils that were provided were helpful. A/c worked well in the two bedrooms they had it in.
Would definitely rent again!

A relaxing stay in this charming medieval property amid the beautiful chianti hills. An ideal getaway for family or friends. Great facilities, wonderful location. Lots of interesting places to visit nearby including vineyard tours and tasting and close enough to Siena and Florence for sightseeing, art and shopping. Spectacular views in every direction.

This wonderful old house exceeded all expectations! Surrounded by beautiful vistas of olive trees, grapevines, and medieval Tuscany villages, everywhere you look could be the background of a Da Vinci painting. Great walks, amazing food (check out Casalta and di Buzzanca!), and easy access to Florence, cooking classes, wine tasting, art! And at the end of every amazing day, you come home to this house -- so well-equipped, so clean, so spacious and comfortable, and great wifi. Wisteria and sunshine!

Great property, local neighbors can be a little loud (walls seem thin). If I were to make one suggestion it would be label the inside trash cans, 5 different bins outside for different types of trash is a bit difficult to understand.

It was wonderful and spacious with beautiful views. My only complaint would be the water pressure in the shower.

We intentionally picked a rental away from the high tourist areas. Our goal was to learn the Italian lifestyle. This rental was perfect. It is located within walking distance of 3 small towns but only a short driving distance from some larger towns which gave us access to food, dining, as well as train service. The interior was unique with rooms on multiple levels. It should be noted there are a lot of stairs. The view from our bedroom window was outstanding. During our stay we were able to watch the harvesting of both grapes and olives. On our walks we were able to visit with the families harvesting. They showed us their process and allowed us to take pictures. Our host Michele responded quickly all our requests. We all really enjoyed our stay.

The house is nice classic, rather dark inside, which helps to keep the heat outside. Fortunately there were vents that helped also to keep mosquitoes away. The fourth bedroom is actually not really a room, but a space for a bed that you have to pass to get to the other rooms

à recommander
Très bonne tenue de la location bien aménagée. Village très calme. Jardin très appréciable le soir. Excellent point de départ pour visiter Florence et d'autres villes des environs comme Lucca, Voltera et San Gimignano. Bon contact avec les propriétaires.

Toscana sempre meravigliosa
La recensione corrisponde perfettamente a quanto trovato, host gentile e attento a tutte le richieste. Posizione tranquillissima in un piccolissimo borgo. La casa trasuda storia anche se rimodernata per esigenze di modernità e utilizzo. Posizione perfetta per visitare tanti luoghi nelle vicinanze ricchi di storia e "vino".

Entschleunigung
Wir haben bewusst eine Ferienwohnung etwas abseits der Hauptrouten gesucht und auch hier gefunden. Die Lage hat uns sehr gut gefallen, sehr gute Restaurants in der Umgebung, kleiner Kiosk im nahegelegenden Ort. Wir haben die Wohnung zu zweit belegt. Es ist viel Platz in mehreren Etagen. An Küchenausstattung war sowiet alles vorhanden. Sehr hilfreich waren bei 42 Grad die 2 Klimaanlage in den oberen Etagen. Der Gartenabschnitt ist etwa 30m entfernt mit einem Sonnenschirm, der allerdings bei über 40 Grad nur bedingt hilfreich war, da wäre sicher eine andere Art der Überdachung besser. Die Vermieter
waren sehr hilfreich bei den Tipps in der Umgebung.
Uns hat der Urlaub und die Ferienwohnung sehr gut gefallen.

Ottimo in tutto
È andata molto bene. Casa molto grande, spaziosissima. In un piccolo borgo caratteristico, arredata giustamente con mobili antichi ma senza perdere nessuna dei confort di oggi. Dal wifi, aria condizionata, lavastoviglie, lavatrice e tanto altro. Posizione perfetta per visitare la Toscana. Consigliatissima.

Settimana serena e spensierata
L'annuncio ben descriveva le caratteristiche dell'appartamento. Il posto era tranquillo e comunque vicino ai centri abitati ed a negozi. I proprietari si sono rivelati discreti ed attenti. Ci siamo trovati molto bene e abbiamo trascorso una bella settimana . personalmente lo consiglio . comodo alle città d'arte ed ai borghi più belli della toscana.

Magnifique endroit
Michele et Elisabetta nous ont accueillis magnifiquement dans leur belle demeure.
Typiquement toscan, faisant parti d'un très bel ensemble architectural d'une église, le logement est grand, original, bien agencé et équipé, parfait pour 7 personnes.
Le petit moins est la luminosité du logement, un peu sombre et le jardin pas attenant au logement... dommage car celui-ci est magnifique au milieu des oliviers.
Le logement se situe entre Florence, Sienne, San Gimignano... Pise n'est pas très loin également. Nous avons pu visiter ces belles villes avec un grand coup de coeur pour San Gimignano. Et de nombreux restaurants typiques toscans sont à quelques minutes en voiture.
Je vous recommande ce logement pour de beaux moments en famille ou entre amis.

Sitio ideal para visitar la Toscana. Region espectacular.
Los propietarios encantadores y siempre disponibles. Nos obsequiaron con una botella de Chianti y con dos paquetes de pasta. Además al cabo de la primera semana repusierons sabanas y toallas limpias. La casa está muy ben equipada y las fotos hacen justicia. Muy amplia y espaciosa. Situada en el centro de la Toscana a 10 minutos de la autopista. Tan solo sugeriria mejorar la cobertura del wifi, muy pobre sobre todo a a que se conectan diversos aparatos, y a nivel de equipamiento, instalar un reproductor de DVD, ya que para los huespedes procedentes de Catalunya, tan solo tienes acceso a canal Sur internacional, cuya programacion es totalmente ridicula. Por lo demás estancia maravillosa

la cas esta bien. Es grande y original. A pesar del calor de la calle, si organizas bien las ventanas, no hay problema para dormir. Hay algunos restaurantes cerca donde se puede comer bien y a buen precio.
Dwsvwntajas: un poco mas apartado de la cuenta. Mosquitos por las noches y el supermercado queda un poco lejos.

Grande maison dans petit village au cœur de la Toscane
Très grande maison bien agencée avec 2 salles de bain, nombreux couchages, grandes pièces de vie, beau jardin Avec paysages magnifiques! La maison est située dans un petit village en hauteur, il faut compter 15 mns pour rejoindre les grands axes mais le point positif c'est qu'elle est à mi chemin de tout donc idéal pour faire Sienne, Florence, San Gimignano.

My husband and his parents and I rented Michele and Elisabettas place for one week in late September. Even though we arrived late in the evening, the owners waited for us and greeted us with a bottle of wine, a jar of pasta sauce and pasta, so that we would have dinner if we needed it.The location was lovely - quiet and rural, and fantastic views from each room on the upper floors, yet it was easy to get to many of the Tuscan highlights. We visited Florence, Siena, Perugia, San Gimingnano and more - all easily accessible day trips..It was plenty of room for us (its a perfect space for two families with three or four children among them), and was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was fairly well equipped (it did not have a cutting board so we bought one and left it there).While the weather was warmer during the day than anticipated, the evening air did have a chill in it. We had wanted a property with a fireplace to relax in front of for the evenings we were at home. However there was no firewood provided, though I believe the hosts would have provided it if wed insisted on it.Our security deposit was return as promised, in cash as we were checking out.We would definitely visit again, and would recommend Elisabetta and Micheles place to others.

Great Tuscan Home
We rented this property for one week in April, 2015. The property is very clean and spacious and had all the amenities. We used this place as a launch point to discover Tuscany, making day trips to Florence, Pisa, Luca, Bologna, Parma, Sienna and others. The owner is very friendly and helpful and met our every need. We especially enjoyed the welcome basket she provided. I highly recommend this place for families or small groups.

Perfect holiday: surroundings are beautiful with olive groves and vines and the little burgo of Brugnano (with clock tower you see from bedroom window), a dream! The house itself is magnificent, relaxing, large and has all the commodities you need (coffee makers, pots, pans, washer etc). Owner and employees were there to help all the time if we had questions or needs. We miss it already. We were two Canadian couples. Perfect location to explore area (Florence but also many medieval towns). Wish we were still there. Thank you Elizabeta!

Immaculate and refreshing stay
We stayed in this property for one week in mid August 2013. The property is located on a very quite neighborhood on a hill over looking breathtaking views of various farms and villages!! The property is very clean and spacious and we enjoyed the medieval design that is nicely preserved. We found, though late a beautiful restaurant in the neighborhood priced very reasonably. Check flyers in one of the drawers in the living room. Very friendly owner and staff. I highly recommend this place for families or small groups who plan to explore Italy by car.
