We used both apartments, and there was plenty of space for all. The position was good, although like most places in Tuscany it does require you to drive everywhere. The Villa grounds were the highlight for us. The pool and gardens were beautiful, and there were so many outside areas to relax. Plenty of room to spread out if needed! The apartments are charming inside. The kitchens are fairly basic, but fine. The cutlery and glassware is a little lacking, and updating this would improve the experience. We had a chef come and cook a dinner for us one night, which was absolutely fantastic. Overall, we absolutely loved our stay here and wish we were back there now! Some printed materials on the surrounding area would have been appreciated -with details of supermarkets, restaurants, wineries, banks and any other local tips.

An amazing terrace with a large table to have meals outside. Downstairs is the other part of the house with 3 full bedrooms and bathrooms as well . This one has a bigger kitchen and also an amazing outdoor seating space overlooking the backyard. The house is in a very private area but a 10 minute drive from the closest town where you can find a supermarket . It’s necessary to have a car . We visited other towns during our stay . Pienza, Volterra, Siena , Florence and San Gimingnano. The family that owns the villa lives right next to this villa . They are very kind and willing to help you with any questions. If you don’t speak Italian , you can communicate with Cheti via what’s up . She was very helpful with everything we needed during our stay. We really love this place and will try to come back one day ! Note : the use of AC is per request . Extra charged if you need to use the AC all the time. They also offer to wash your clothes . (We used both ) Thank you for letting us stay and enjoy your gorgeous place! The lehnhoff family! ##### Vanessa B. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### fiona p.

There was plenty of space, beautifully furnished indoors, very comfortable and clean, gorgeous well kept grounds and pool, with lovely seating areas. The location is great - tucked away in beautiful wooded hills but with a pretty good little supermarket at nearby Montaione, some decent local restaurants, and San Gimignano, Volterra, Florence and Sienna all easily reachable. Neva, the owner/landlady was very kind and helpful although she doesn't speak any English. She made us a delicious supper the first evening and gave us some home produce \[fabulous tomatoes\] and a tuscan salami which was lovely. Daniella was a very efficient manager and any queries were swiftly answered and dealt with. I would have given the Villa 5 stars, but felt there were 2 things that could be improved on to make it perfect: 1\] there was no oven \[or proper grill\], and although we did know this before we booked we feel it is a significant drawback in what is otherwise an excellently equipped villa. It was impossible to warm croissants for breakfast, bake a lasagne, or heat pizzas! \[A microwave or hob just can't do the same job\]. 2\] A set of House notes in English would really help - just to explain about the recycling, the linen changes, where things were \[we couldn't initially find the washing machine!\], local shops etc - this would be easy to do and would be very helpful. Overall though we did have a great holiday and would recommend this villa to anyone. ##### fiona p. Stayed 14 nights in Aug 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Salam Z.

Communication: timely, clear, very proactive and super useful GPS guidance that avoids ambiguity as you come off the main roads. Property manager is very personable, available for any questions over phone / and she also greeted us and provided a great tour of the property, answer questions, etc. Location: The villa is situated on the sizable piece of land which is then surrounded by woods. Beautiful view of the Tuscan countryside. We say a doe twice during our stay which was a very special moment for children. Facilities: Rooms are decorated tastefully, with traditional details, comfortable beds and amazing views . We were impressed by furniture dating from 17th century in excellent shape, and the confession room door which is built in a decorative wall. 2 TVs one on each level, excellent bathrooms with plenty of towels, paper, hand wash, etc Well equipped kitchen - we used it almost daily. There are two 'solariums' - partly shaded , where we had breakfasts , played cards, etc. The pool is very clean, sun beds brand new. Plenty of space for kids to run around and play. Most importantly, the host was the kindest lady we have ever met, she made us a dinner upon arrival and left a bottle of wine. Her and her husband live i the other house on the sam plot, however, we only seen them once during our stay, very respectful. We cannot recommend this property enough! ##### Ana N.

Hunden Juli 2019 Wir haben ein sauberes und bezauberndes Haus mit grossem Umschwung und schönem Pool angetroffen. Der Pool wurde täglich gereinigt. Die Ruhe und das schöne Anwesen mit grossartigem Garten und verschiedenen Lauben und Logen erlaubt einen grossartigen Urlaub. Einzig das Einzelzimmer ohne Fenster war ein Reinfall. Wir haben ein kleines Lesezimmer mit genügend Fenstern in ein Schlafzimmer umfunktioniert. Das Einkaufen von Lebensmitteln und Getränken muss aufgrund der Anfahrtswege für eine solche grosse Familie sehr gut geplant werden. Dank zweier Kühlschränke in den beiden Küchen waren wir gut versorgt. Besten Dank den Eigentümern und Daniela für den tollen Aufenthalt. Besten Dank nochmals für den feinen Kuchen und den beiden Würsten, welche wir als Überraschung von der Eigentümerin erhalten haben. Das Objekt kann mit gutem Gewissen weiterempfohlen werden. ##### Albert S.

Jul 17, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Eine tolle Villa mit wunderbarem, großem Garten in sehr ruhiger Lage Unser Gesamteindruck war durchweg positiv. Wir waren eine Gruppe von 4 Ehepaaren, hatten das gesamte Haus gemietet und mehr als reichlich Platz. Besonders beeindruckt haben uns die vielen Sitzgruppen im Freien an unterschiedlichen Plätzen, so dass sich theoretisch jeder in eine andere Ecke hätte zurück ziehen könnte. Das Haus war mit vielen schönen alten Gegenständen eingerichtet. Wenn wir es richtig verstanden haben, eine Sammlerleidenschaft des Besitzers. Leider rochen einige davon etwas muffig, man hätte sie vielleicht vorher richtig auslüften sollen. Der Garten ist sehr gepflegt und der Rasen wurde täglich gewässert. Der Pool ist sehr sauber. Ein paar ganz kleine Kritikpunkte hatten wir jedoch. In einer Wohnung in der oberen Etage hat der Spülkasten nicht richtig funktioniert, blieb immer hängen. Und das Wassermischen in den Duschen war teils sehr schwierig, entweder es war zu heiß oder zu kalt. Da könnten eventuell hochwertigere Mischbatterien Abhilfe schaffen. Und eine Bitte an die Besitzer: wir hätten für 8 Erwachsene einen größeren Nudeltopf gebraucht, das wäre noch eine tolle Anschaffung fürs nächste Mal. Insgesamt ist das Preis/Leistungsverhältnis für dieses Haus im Vergleich mit anderen Häusern in der Toskana mehr als fair und wir können das Objekt uneingeschränkt weiter empfehlen. ##### Marina V. ### 10/10 Excellent #### John P.
