The home was amazing. Our host Valerio was very accommodating and accessible. Thoroughly recommend this beautiful Tuscan villa!

We spent 2 awesome weeks in this house! The location is great, the house is great, well equipped and the landlord was very nice. The swimming pool and the jacuzzi are great added values in hot summer days. We highly recommend it

We had a very nice time!

The Villa and grounds were spectacular and everything was as advertized. The owner Valerio was extremely accomodating when our check-in plans changed unexpectedly. Make sure that you bring your own soap/body wash, shampoo and conditioner as those are not provided as they typically are in USA VRBO rentals. The Villa is close to downtown Cetona along with easy Hwy access to numerous other towns close by. We would definitely recommend this property to all who want a Tuscany Villa experience.

We loved our stay at this villa in Cetona. We got some great use of the pool and spa. Our only wish was some AC for the nights it can get a bit hot some evenings. Great place to explore lots of nearby towns and vineyards. Valerio had some great recommendations and made some bookings for us which was greatly appreciated!

Our stay at this Cetona villa was the highlight of our Italy trip. There was a bit of confusion with check-in. I took 4 pm check-in time to mean that we could check in anytime after 4 pm. The owner was expecting us to meet him at 4 pm. Make sure to include your country code when providing your phone number. The owners attempts to call me failed because I had only included the numbers required to call me in the US. The property itself is clean and beautiful. The owner was quite helpful. Our only hiccup during the stay was barking dogs from the neighbors late at night. We let the owner know and he had a conversation with the neighbors. I knew electricity was an additional cost, but was surprised to pay $80 for a three night stay. We were told not to touch the hot tub panel top buttons, so it ran for the entirety of our stay and we weren't vigilant with turning off all the lights all the time. Still...$80 for three days of electricity seems quite high. All in all, a wonderful stay. I would go back.

Fern and Tom V. My husband and I just returned from a magnificent trip to Tuscany, and one of the highlights for us was spending time at S. Girolamo, a breathtaking villa in lovely Cetona. The pictures do not begin to capture the beauty of this stunning home. We had the pleasure to meet Valerio and his wife who were so accommodating and lovely. Valerio’s attention to detail and ability to capture beauty around every corner of the house, both inside and out, was evident from the moment we arrived. We felt all stress disappear in this peaceful and relaxing environment. The location of the villa is perfect for exploring towns in both Umbria and Tuscany including Spello, Assisi, Siena and Montepulciano. But one of the highlights of our day was returning to the villa to relax at the tranquil pool and enjoy the jacuzzi room that has its own enclosed area outdoors. For those who love to cook, the Tuscan kitchen is equipped with everything you need, including a magnificent fireplace. If you decide to enjoy your meals in town, Cetona has a delightful square with a variety of delicious and charming restaurants and cafes just a short drive from the villa. The gelato in town is also amazing! We could not be more delighted that we found this little slice of paradise in Tuscany, and look forward to returning again soon. Thank you so much, Valerio!

This villa was just perfect for us. Filled with charm and warmth, we loved our stay here. The kitchen was the gathering place for us and we didn’t want to leave with its fireplace and old table calling us back. We used the villa as a base for exploring Tuscany but loved the times we just stayed at the villa. Valerio and his wife were gracious hosts and we will definitely be back.

3 couples for the US, 2 of us had stayed here before…such a perfect location for exploring AND relaxation and there is no better local village than Cetona!! Love, love, love!!

Luciano was a wonderful host and gave us wonderful restaurant recommendations in the town of Cetona. They happened to be some of the best meals we’ve ever had. I couldn’t recommend this property more.

We stayed at the S. Girolamo with my sister and her family and used the place as the base to explore the area and visit Florence, Siena and other nearby cities and towns. The property is located within walking distance to the historic city of Cetona with its excellent restaurants and shops, including an award winning olive oil store. There is a nice hiking trail nearby that takes you to historical caves. We loved the spacious property with the beautiful views of the valley. The place is very comfortable, tastefully decorated and has a large kitchen with all the essentials. The jacuzzi room was a bonus that we enjoyed. The pool was under construction. We look forward to enjoying the pool next time we visit. Our host, Valerio, was extremely responsive and helpful. He responded to our emails within minutes and made the check-in and check-out process smooth and hassle free. Be prepared to pay for heating and electricity use when you check out . We found this to be a fair way of charging the guests based on their consumption and encouraging conservation of resources. We look forward to staying at the property again.

It's a beautiful house - tastefully decorated and very well maintained. We had a pleasant stay. Thank you, Valerio.

My family and I had the most amazing time at this beautiful villa. House is fully equipped for guests to have a great time. Be advised that the owner asks for electricity to be paid separately. No issues with that as far as it's not a surprise. Read the fine print on the final document.

Loved the villa! Gated gravel driveway, cozy welcoming kitchen, spacious rooms, expansive grounds with hundreds of olive trees, separate little building with hot tub. We did not use the pool, too cold in October. It’s a 5 star for us except for the fact that the owner did not disclose the extra fees on the listing. He did mention it only at check in where he took photos of the meter readings for the heat etc. and said we would be charged at the end of our stay. It cost over two thirds of the daily rate that we had to pay in cash before we left. We were there for 4 nights, 4 adults and we were gone all day everyday. At departure, the owner has to meet you at the villa to collect the extra fee. We had to leave at 6 am to catch our flight and he sent his gardener to collect the money and then demanded that we pay him extra money for service fee to meet us there that early! We refused. Since when can you charge a guest for leaving early??!! This unfortunately left a bad taste at the very end of the trip. I recommend that the extra costs be disclosed up front in the listing or just added to the daily price.

We've stayed at vacation rentals all over the world, and this was easily the best, cleanest, most beautiful place we've stayed. The pictures are accurate, but somehow, when seen in person the villa and grounds were far more beautiful and private. The building with the hot tub is in itself a phenomenally relaxing and comfortable place. The brick pizza oven works perfectly. The kitchen, where we spent a lot of our time, is cozy, functional, well-equipped and the "sit-in" fireplace is truly special. We used S. Girolamo as our home base as we explored Tuscany - we found ourselves keeping our day trips short so that we could come back to enjoy our luxurious villa. We found a large supermarket that is an easy drive (PAM store on the outskirts of Chiusi) and cooked some authentic Italian meals - the large professional stove is a treat to use. The owner, Valerio is responsive and helpful. He has someone who stops by daily to refresh wood and furnace supplies and to check the pool and hot tub. We communicated via VRBO messages, and it might be more convenient / timely to use text messaging. Between the stunning views, the peaceful olive tree grove, the magical villa and its earthy, comfortable rooms, this was an experience we will trasure for our lifetimes. Thank you Valerio!

The house and property was amazing! We found it to be a lovely walk into town for our morning cappuccino and exploring Cetona. Excellent communication with the owner and very smooth check in and check out process. Would love to come back and stay for a month

This is a must-go house when visiting the area. Everything is beautiful, neat and well taken care of. It is even more stunning than the pictures show. Check-in was quick and smooth.

Beautifully decorated and maintained villa in an ideal location. Perfect for seeing Tuscany and Umbria. A short drive to so many villages. We had a wonderful time.

This home was located right near a beautiful village, the house was clean, well-kept and ground expansive!

This met and exceeded all expectation. A gem. The photos don’t do the property justice and it lacked nothing. Wonderful, responsive and helpful host.

The owners have put lots of love and effort into making a beautiful retreat in Tuscany. The setting and landscape is lovely - a real oasis. Communication with the owners was outstanding, and they were very responsive.

This villa in Cetona is a wonderful property - idyllic setting with well-kept landscaping, plenty of room in the house, and a picturesque view. Valerio is a responsive and attentive host. Our kids loved running through the olive trees and the hot tub, and we highly recommend requesting dinner with Chef Walter or Chef Dario (which Valerio can help arrange) for an amazing meal from the comfort of your own home. We highly recommend this property and would love to return one day.

I'd been anticipating our stay here when I booked and when we finally saw it I was overjoyed. From the gated entrance to the beautiful gardens and into the lovely villa itself, it was beyond my expectations. The location was perfectly located for our day trips throughout Tuscany and a very relaxing and calm place to return to in the evenings. Loved the hot tub! Valerio was such a gracious host upon check in and check out and its clear he puts a lot of thought and effort into the maintenance of the property. Would love to stay here again during the warmer months to fully enjoy the gardens and pool. This place is a gem and I highly recommend.

My family and friends (7 people total) including my mother (age 80) stayed at this beautiful property for 4 nights in March, 2022. We had a lovely stay. The home is beautiful with the 'old and new' all in one place. We made home-cooked meals, made day trips to Siena, Cortona, Chiusi, and Montepulciano - all within 30 minutes to 1 hour from the Villa. The rooms were roomy, and comfortable. I was concerned to have only 1 full shower near bedrooms, along with the bathroom with a full tub (with 7 people) but it worked out just fine. The mini-spa was fantastic and we loved using it every day. Valerio was incredibly responsive and we had a wonderful stay! The highlights? Building a fire in the giant fireplace in the kitchen - two nights in a row and cooking homemade pizzas in the big gas oven. The only downside was that the furniture in the living room area is a bit worn - cushions have lost their support on the chairs/couches. Otherwise, a fantastic place to stay with amazing views of the valley!

Posizione buonissima per visitare Cetona e fare un giro per i vigneti. Casale curato, caldo e accogliente. Proprietario disponibile. Relax assicurato!

We had a wonderful family holiday in this beautiful villa I can honestly say it’s the nicest villa I’ve ever stayed in . The outside areas are so peaceful with stunning views . We sat outside every night playing cards and just having a laugh together. Inside is so cosy and homely and we felt very comfortable here . The kitchen table is perfect for large families to sit around an enjoy a meal together . We found the location very central just 1hr 40 minutes to Rome ,1 hour 40 minutes to Florence and 2 hrs 10 minutes to Pisa . The nearby village of cetona is beautiful and dine lovely restaurants to dine out in . We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful villa and would definitely recommend it to our family s friends as a wonderful place to stay tucked into the hills of Tuscany and we hope to return some time soon

Dieses wunderschöne Ferienobjekt lädt zum Ausspannen und Verweilen ein - das Grundstück ist weitläufig und sehr gepflegt. Die große Küche mit offenem Kamin garantiert auch bei schlechtem Wetter Gemütlichkeit und Wohlbefinden. Der Kontakt mit Valerio war sehr gut und unkompliziert - und auch die Übergabe des Objekts gestaltete sich als sehr einfach. Wir kommen gerne wieder! Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Wir waren mehr als positiv überrascht von dem wunderschönen Anwesen von Valerio. Die Bilder im Internet stellen nicht wirklich dar, wie toll es ist. Für uns vier Personen, mit Hund hat alles gepasst. Das Grundstück ist riesig und man hat unendlich viele Möglichkeiten den Tag zu verbringen. Für einen Abend hatten wir Walter, einen sehr netten italienischen Koch bei uns im Haus und er hat uns ein tolles Menü gezaubert. Für mehr als 4 Personen könnten mehr Gläser da sein und der traumhafte Garten war leider nicht komplett eingezäunt. Das sind die einzigen Minuspunkte. Der Hausbesitzer Valerio war jeden Morgen da und hat den Pool sauber gemacht und die Liegen für uns gerichtet. Das ganze aber sehr diskret und nicht störend. Wir haben viele gute Tipps für Ausflüge in die Umgebung bekommen, die wir aber nicht gemacht haben, weil wir das traumhafte Anwesen, die meiste Zeit einfach nur genossen haben.

This was our last stop on our two week driving tour of Northern and Central Italy, and we saved the best for last. Valerio’s home is perfection. The pictures can’t show all the beauty of this special home. We really didn’t want to leave the property. We enjoyed the hot tub each night, sitting out in the garden drinking Italian wines, walking through the olive trees, and much more. On our last night Walter (private chef), made a five course meal that was pure heaven! Everyone should come to Cetona, stay in this magical house, and have Walter cook for you! Grazie Mille Walter and Valerio. Our dream is to come back!
