What an amazing stay! The family is absolutely amazing and the hospitality the provided me was beyond compare. As a female traveling alone, having a place where you feel like home makes life better :) they were so helpful and kind. The morning I had to leave I was close to being sad enough to cry because I wanted to stay. Next time I come I will rent a car so I can drive myself to some wineries. It is easy to get into Siena but the rest of tuscany is hard to navigate by public transit. I really hope I can come back to stay with this family! Not only was the atmosphere great the accommodations are nice as well. All in all, AMAZING find :)

We had a great two days at Andrea's place with the wonderful support and generosity of his parents. Great location for visiting Siena and area.

I spent a wonderful 6 nights at Santa Caterina B&B; Andreas father picked me up from the train station (which is very close to the B&B - though I needn't have worried about transit - the family drove me to and from the train station or bus stop each day. Its nestled in a quaint area and the space is tidy and has everything you need. Breakfasts made by Andreas mother were AMAZING! Homemade, fresh out of the oven pastries every day :) I would definitely recommend this location to anyone wanting to visit the Siena / Florence area at an affordable price.

Andrea was most welcoming. The property was very "Tuscan" and we just loved it. The countryside was breathtaking. The breakfast was excellent! We would love to return!

From the moment I arrived, I was made to feel welcome and given all that I needed. Overall, the place was gorgeous, the room spacious and all amenities taken care of. This was a wonderful AirBnB, with gorgeous grounds and friendly hosts.

Andrea was a really helpful and interesting host with excellent English. Our traditional farmhouse accommodation in a beautiful rural setting was very comfortable and relaxing but some traffic noise from the autostrada when sitting outside. A wonderful bonus was incredible home cooking from Andrea's mother who set the standard for our food experience in Tuscany. Don't miss the opportunity to eat here if it's on offer!

Our stay was amazing. This is a traditional Tuscany home. We were on the ground floor apartment with our own bathroom, (shower) and double bed, and with a communal ground floor kitchen you could cook in in the evening very easily. What really made this a special place to stay was the hospitality of our hosts and his family. They were so welcoming, and made us feel at home. From helping with directions and suggestions for places to see through to cooking a traditional Italian meal. From a practical point of view - this is a good place to stay if you have a hire car; the road to Siena is nearby and the town has a mini-supermarket with salami, fruit, veg, cheese etc. which is part of a cafe bar and restaurant. There is a bus regularly into Siena too and the local Badesse train station is walkable, where you can catch trains to Firenze and Siena. The Chianti road is close by and if you fancy a swim there's a public outdoor pool off the P222 between Quercegrossa and Fonterutoli, which mainly Italians are aware of, but it's well worth it. Overall a fantastic two week break and the hospitality of the hosts was above and beyond. Sue & Gary

Rosanna, Alessandro, Andrea you went out your way to make us welcomed and satisfied. Thank you so much!!! It was truly wonderful 6 night stay in your very charming and picturesque farmhouse. Perfect place to experience Tuscan countryside - Sienna, San Gimignano, Volterra, Montalcino, Montepulciano, Cortona, Arezzo and Chianti region. We loved it all. You are incredible hosts and your warm hospitality made us very welcomed, we felt very much at home, even though so far away from Canada. Rosanna you are a great cook, your risotto, ribollita and tiramisu are exceptionally good. Thanks to Alessandro we discovered great Tuscan wines. Fresh fruits from garden, good breakfast each morning, we could not ask for more! Lovely family, lovely conversations, lovely place to stay. Highly recommend!!!

Good communication upon checkin, and wonderful tranquil location. The villa was basic but clean overall. The internet didn't work during our whole stay and the shower wasn't really proper, but apart from that the stay was fine. Thank you for having us.

Die Unterkunft ist unglaublich toll - kleine cottage-ähnliche Wohnungen gehören zu einem Weingut, sind zauberhaft eingerichtet, mit voll ausgestatteter Küche und alles sehr sauber. Dazu kann man den Garten und Pool mitbenutzen und eine traumhafte Aussicht genießen. Die kleine Flasche Wein zum Probieren als Geschenk rundet eine wirklich perfekte Erfahrung ab. Angioletta, die Hausverwalterin, mit der wir Kontakt hatten, ist auch sehr, sehr nett und engagiert. Ein Ort zum Wohlfühlen!

Environnement agréable mais accueil rapide. Appartement fonctionnel mais sombre. Communication brève . Ne correspond pas au notre idée d' Airbnb. Piscine accessible à partir de mai.

Laura and her son were very helpful as we didn´t found the place at first, her son picked us at a parking lot up and we could followed him by car to the house. Laura prepared a basket full of vegetables and fruits from the garden. The Appartement is very clean, cosy and you feel at home. Pool and terrace are just amazing, it´s perfect for vacation. We had the pool for ourselves.

The stay was absolutely perfect!!! The property, pool and surroundings are even more beautiful in reality than on the pictures. Laura and family were super nice and the atmosphere is very quite and private and we can only recommend this place to anyone and would stay there again if we are traveling in the area.

We found this accomodation to be the perfect choice for visiting the region. The location is ideal, we did one day trips to Siena, San Gimignano, Colle di Val d'Elsa, Chianti, Montepulciano... Also, it is the most charming and calm place! After a full day of visit in crowded tourist locations you come back to this peaceful place, enjoy the pool and then spend the evening on the terrace. Our apartment had everything we needed (even more) and was spacious and very clean. For us, it was simply perfect :)

Laura was a welcoming and gracious host. The apartment is located on a peaceful farm and it was just the right size for the two of us. We had a private outdoor eating area that we enjoyed daily and the pool was refreshing after a day of visiting the hill towns of Tuscany. Laura shared some of fruit grown on the farm and they were delicious. Being on the farm was the Tuscan experience we wanted and we would highly recommend it.

A charming, rustic, comfortable, compact cottage with adequate facilities, set in beautiful Tuscan countryside. Located well for day trips to Siena and Florence and for visiting Chianti country. The grounds and pool area are simply lovely and a real haven from the town bustle. You would need to like or at least tolerate the very friendly but curious free range resident dogs. There is free WiFi from the tourist information in Monteriggioni which is an absolute must to visit and also has some nice restaurants some of which also have free wifi. The nearest store is in Badesse where you otherwise would not want to linger.

Laura's place was just lovely - a gorgeous little Tuscan hideaway with everything you need for a get away. Laura's son was so helpful as we couldn't initially find the place - he came to get us from a meeting point.

Great place, we just loved it. Clean and comfortable. Everything you need. The pool is amazing and perfect for relaxing. I would totally recommend it, also for his location. You get around easily to fully discover different parts of Toscany.

Il posto è veramente magnifico! Non credo che le foto gli rendano giustizia! Laura è stata una ottima host, discreta ma presente in caso di necessità. La posizione è ottima per fare gite nei dintorni (Siena, Volterra, Monteriggioni, San Gimignano, volendo Firenze...). Che dire, da tornarci sicuramente!

Lovely cozy little rustic house in the countryside, amazing surroundings. We had such beatiful views of Tuscanny in the autumn! There's a nice private patio where I'm sure your can have amazing meals in the Summer, but it was a bit cold for us to do that now. It's an old building, but everything was very clean and comfortable. Although it's in a dirt road out of the city, if you follow Gherarda's directions on Airbnb, there's no missing - we got there on the first try without getting lost. We didn't meat Gherarda, but her husband meet us at the house with a bottle of Chianti wine and some bread. Despite our very limited Italian, he gave us many tips (including a restaurant we tried and loved: Boccon di Prete), and patiently explained how to get to Siena (about 9km) and what to visit! Highly recommended!

We stayed here for three nights and it was great, beautiful setting, just like in the pictures. Gherarda and her son Davide were very nice and helpful, both before and during our trip. We took several of their suggestions for places to visit and to eat around Siena as well as a bit further afield, and they were real highlights of our vacation. The place was very comfortable and the hosts responded very quickly when we had questions. Highly recommended!

The farmhouse and entire property was breathtaking! The house was immaculately clean and the kitchen was stocked with all the essentials. Davide and his father welcomed us warmly and provided us with useful information about the house and surrounding area. As well made us reservations at the best restaurants in and around Siena. I would highly recommend staying here if you get the chance! Thank you again!!

Gherarda and Maurizio are the most perfect hosts one can expect. Maurizio gave us a lot of info on the region and on Siena (especially the Palio!!!). The appartement is spacious, very well decorated and was super clean when we arrived. These days here will stay in our memories :)

We ended up completely lost leaving La Spezia in the morning and it took until 7pm for us to arrive at Gherarda's place. First time driving in Italy, our GPS malfunctioned and our phones did not have reception! When we finally arrived Maurisimo was waiting ( I think he had been waiting for hours!) He was so welcoming, polite and charming. He gave us a bottle of wine, 3 bottles of water and 2 croissants for breakfast. He also spent quite a bit of time showing us around the house and going over numerous maps with us. We were very stressed after being caught in a big storm and we will be eternally grateful for the warm welcome that we received. The area is stunningly beautiful and the house was just perfect for us. The bed was very comfortable and there is plenty of water for hot showers. The home was spotlessly clean, and it is so peaceful and relaxing. We really enjoyed staying here. It was also very convenient having the restaurant two doors down. Mario and Tonia served up delicious meals and they were wonderful hosts. Thank you so much for sharing your special place.

Our hosts were very kind, welcoming us with a nice chianti bottle and many stories about the Palio di Siena. Any small request was immediately given attention and answer. The house is lovely, 10 min. From Siena and at short distance from Firenze. A beautiful terrace with wonderful sunsets was the cheery on the cake. Very nearby a nice shepherd selling excellent cheese. We will suggest this place to all our friends.

My family had a lovely time at this darling cottage in Chianti. Gherarda and her family helped us with directions, restaurants, and outing recommendations. It was a little tricky to find the property initially but Maurizio (Gherarda's husband) went out of his way to meet me at a central location and drove me directly to the property. The cottage is located in a picturesque setting - an absolutely beautiful view out of a movie. We enjoyed visiting the water park, exploring Siena and venturing to the local hot springs. We were rested and rejuvenated after our stay. The tiny town of Quecerrosa is a 5 minute drive and has all the necessities: grocery store, pharmacy, post, dry cleaner and delicious gelato! We highly recommend this wonderful spot.

What a wonderful location! Peaceful and beautiful countryside surroundings, very old full of character apartment, generous and helpful hosts. Recommended.

Francesca's house is lovely and the room you rent is really big. We got a nice breakfast and coffee, but the room was rather cold. Otherwise, all good!

Non abbiamo avuto occasione di approfondire la reciproca conoscenza dato il poco tempo della mia permanenza e gli impegni che Francesca doveva ottemperare il pomeriggio del mio arrivo. Ha comunque delegato a un familiare cortese e esaustivo. La stanza è pulita e così il bagno, comodo il parcheggio interno al cortile x me che viaggio in moto lo è anke di più. Di Francesca x le poche battute scambiate la mattina prima della partenza ho avuto l'impressione di una persona affabile e cortese, premurosa di mettere a proprio agio i suoi ospiti.

Francesca è molto disponibile e gentile e la casa è ottima, con un parcheggio interno. La consiglio!

La chambre dans la maison familiale est très agréable, grande avec sdb privée et même sortie privée. Parfait pour garer une voiture, elle est en sécurité dans la cour de la maison. Il est très facile de rejoindre Sienne en quinze minutes et s'y garer est facile à la Fortezza. La maison est très facile à rejoindre de Firenze, car Badesse est sur la route entre Firenze et Sienna. Badesse n'est pas une ville très jolie, la maison donne sur une route, mais on voit aussi les jolies Collines derrière. Il suffit de faire qques km en voiture pour trouver la campagne Toscane incroyablement belle. Francesca parle français, elle est très accueillante et attentive à son hôte. Un très bon séjour.

Great apartment on a lovely farm, surrounded by nature. Riccardo was very nice, and he even gave us fresh eggs from his chickens! There is everything you need to cook, but the restaurant of the farm is delicious so you won't need to :) we loved it!

It felt just like home. We were looking for a place where we could cook our own meal, wash our clothes and relaxed. The apartment was very, very clean, modern, very well equip with a charming look. We really felt like home. Riccardo gave us a warm welcome took the time to explain everything :) he even gave us eggs from his chicken for our breakfast :). He was very accommodating for our check in time. Riccardo apartment is the perfect place to stay if you are wine tasting in the Chianti Region. On the other side of the apartment there is a nice Osteria if you do not wish to cook. I would recommand Riccardo apartement 100%.

Our experience with Riccardo was superb. The house is in an incredible location, the space was very large, and we had a wonderful day riding Vespa's around Chianti and the best dinner at the restaurant on the farm. Riccardo is so sweet and interesting to talk to. We encountered a train strike on the Sunday and he helped us figured out a bus and really saved the day. If you're looking to relax in a beautiful place- stay with Riccardo!!

The host canceled this reservation 4 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

We had a very nice time at your place, Short and sweet. It was very nice to meet you chat and we hope to see you next time. Cheers, Martha

We had a good stay. Recommended! The family cat they have is adorable. Exqusite restaurant 1 minute walk away!

Riccardo's farm apartment was wonderful. The peace and quiet was just what we needed after a few hectic weeks travelling through european cities. The apartment was spacious, clean and well appointed. Riccardo met us after we had settled in and he gave us some of his delicious olive oil produced on the farm. He made sure we had all we needed and also bade us farewell when we left. We used the apartment as a base to travel around the Tuscan countryside to see the fantastic little villages, olive and wine groves and of course Siena, only 10 minutes down the road. Also, just across the laneway from the apartment is a small restaurant where we had a great lunch one day. We would highly recommend the apartment and Riccardo's hospitality. Good luck with the truffles and thanks Riccardo.

We had a good stay at "Il Gelso". Especially, we liked the apartment's location. On the one hand, it is very quiet in the middle of vineyards. On the other hand, it is an excellent starting point for exploring the whole Chianti area. Our host Luigi was very friendly and helpful.

Luigi was zeer behulpzaam vanaf het moment dat we met de auto in de buurt van het huis arriveerden en loodste ons het laatste stuk er naar toe. Het was een mooie plek zonder andere toeristen op de Borgo. Zeer veel privacy. Mooi huis zeker gelet op de prijs/kwaliteit verhouding. Uitzicht was fantastisch en de stilte geweldig

Highly recommend! Picturesque and beautifully renovated

Lovely new appartement in beautiful Tuscan scenery. Cristina is a wonderful host and her mother is very friendly and a very good cook. easy access to sienna, San giminiano, volterra and montepulciano. Hope to visit again and can recommend the place to everyone.

Really beautiful apartment in a very nice and quiet area in the middle of the great Tuscan landscape. We had a wonderful time there and hope to come back. If you look for relaxation and at the same time want to visit some amazing places such as Siena or San Gimignano this is a great place to go to and start your holiday trip. Cristina has been a really kind and helpful host. We enjoyed our stay a lot!

Casa Lornano is just heaven. It is a dreamy cottage in the middle of Tuscany very close to Chianti, Siena and all other attractions around. The villas neighbourhood allows for a perfect relaxation. The apartment is lovely with a nice garden and views of Tuscan trees. Everything you need is there. It is very clean and there is air conditioning and full working wifi. Cristina is a wonderful host, very attentive and taking care of her guests. I fully recommend to anyone loving Tuscan sights, chianti wine and Italian cuisine - perfect for such romantic relaxation.

Cristina was polite and friendly and managed our late arrival. The apartment is fine for a couple of nights as long as you take provisions with you as none are provided. There is no local information on places to eat, visit, shop provided and communication via text can be frustrating.

Cristina is an amazing hostess, and her house awesome!! in a privileged setting surrounded by vinyards and a beautiful Tuscan landscape...close to Siena, San Giminiagno, Volterra...everything was clean, new, and with all the facilities. Very easy to find. Regards from Spain!

A lovely comfortable house, a fine terrace, where you can enjoy breakfast while admiring the Tuscan landscapes! Charming interior, all the facilities in the kitchen and in the bathroom. I recommend these apartments for an unforgettable holiday!

Estuvimos genial en la casa de Cristina. Cerca de todos los lugares de la toscana. Todo estaba muy nuevo limpio. Sin duda repetiría.

old house, big space, accommodation ok, not great, but ok. The hosts are excellent and made their besto accommodate us asap and with quality, overall ok and recommended.

we were only one day in this apartment, the apartment is very clean. This is exactly like the description in the website. The host has also shown us where to find nearby attractions. we can only halt further recommend

Very large room and very clean. The bathroom was clean and there are all the amenities. The kitchen and common areas of the apartment are huge well-equipped. The location is great: just a few kilometers from Siena and a few hundred meters from the train station. I recommend it to everyone, especially to large families for holidays in Tuscany and visiting Siena.

This is a fantastic hidden gem! Andrea and his mother and father are the sweetest and most kind people, and they go out of their way to make you comfortable. The home is absolutely classic - very clean and very comfortable. Lots of room! The area around the home is breathtakingly beautiful as well. I went on a few walks and felt so at peace. I highly recommend staying here!! Even if you plan to visit Siena, I would stay here because it's so close yet so peaceful.

The locations was good for the price. I was looking for an inexpensive place in an area that is generally expensive. Andrea helped me when I was having trouble finding a place

We stayed at Andrea's lovely tuscan- style app for a week. It is fully equipped and clean,perfect for 6 or 8 ppl. Looks exactly as described. The place is near the motorway, very close to Siena. From there you can easily reach all Tuscan beautiful towns and villages. Andrea is a real nice person, who speaks v. good english. He recommended us some good restaurants in the neighbourhood and other interesting places to visit. Stay there if you want to explore everything that Tuscany has to offer!:)

Great place and large clean place. Fully kitted out kitchen. Opportunity to look out across the chianti wine region on a short walk from the house. The hosting family are incredibly nice and helpful. Breakfast was delicious and well worth asking for.

The B&B Santa Caterina is great value for money. It is very conveniently located, just a 10-minute drive from Siena. The owners (Andrea's parents, I suppose) have been extremely helpful and kind.

if you want to experience a centuries-old tuscan farmhouse and winery, this is the place to do it! the buildings fulfill every expectation, and the rolling, vine-covered hillsides surrounding the winery are gorgeous. thank you esp to angioletta, whose big smile and easy-going manner made us feel welcome. she went above and beyond in helping us out when we had a laundry issues. my only regret is that i did not have the time to do a wine-tasting. but at least my cousins and i walked the grounds of the property and the nearby area, and fully appreciated the tuscan country-side views and quiet. one unexpected bonus: the property is less than 1 km to the highway, making it a nice base to visit siena and other hill towns.

Rental ideally situated for exploring Siena and surroundings. Our hostess was available, helpful and warm.

Very charming accommodation. It's not as quiet as one might suspect .There are several daily buses with people for a wine tasting and these then run around in the garden of the property. There are several apartments on the site, so that you the pool has to share umd the garden. Otherwise, it's a lovely place, ideal for exploring Siena and due surroundings.

.

Incantevole Suite nel Chianti is a beautiful property set among the Tuscan hills and we really enjoyed our stay there. We loved the local village which is only a short drive away and has restaurants and shops to meet daily needs. Finding the property without GPS was challenging, so we suggest clearer directions for other travellers in future. There was also an issue with linen which was only provided for one of the beds in the two bedrooms we required. Jessica sent the linen the following night however. There was no Wifi at the location and very rarely was there a network connection. It would be good for people to know this in advance. The two bedrooms were otherwise comfortable and there were some nice fittings in the apartment. The kitchen had basic cooking facilities which met our needs, however there were no extra provisions such as tea, coffee or oil and we needed to provide our own cleaning materials etc. Overall it was a most positive experience and the Chianti area a highlight of our trip. We have lovely memories of the beautiful pool and surrounds, to which we had exclusive access as no one else was using it. I also loved watching the light change each morning as dawn broke over the Tuscan hills. Ah Bella italia!

Beautiful house in a very quiet place. Shame about the weather, otherwise we could take advantage of the beautiful pool. Perfect welcome complete with a bottle of Chianti on our arrival. Thanks a lot!

Jessica has been extremely available for our arrival, the villa is in a great location in the heart of Chianti. beautiful and welcoming home.

Beautiful setting and views from the property. We didn't take advantage of the pool but it was lovely. Good location. Downside: it is hard to find and the satellite coordinates are incorrect. Wifi wasn't working.

Great place to enjoy the Tuscan countryside in the hart of the Chianti, close to nature and historical cities like Siena and Greve.

This is the perfect place to stay! The apartment itself is beautiful, just what you imagine when you are looking for a place in Tuscany! The pool is fantastic and the view over the hills is superb. Jessica was very nice, she met us there with a bottle of Chianti and showed us around the place. The location is perfect too, we were able to visit a few fantastic vineyards as well as towns including Siena, Montalcino, Pienza. We also are at a fantastic osteria recommended by Jessica, just down the road from the place- called Osteria Bottega dell'abate. Would highly recommend staying here- just beautiful!

We loved the place. If you are looking for a reserved place, quiet and calm in the nature, thats the place. Jessica was a amazing host and shw was ready at any time. We certanly would come back.

Super accueil, avec un jus de fruit frais à l'arrivée. Caterina est une personne très accueillante et chaleureuse, on se sent bien tout de suite. Une partie privé du logement qui laisse une bonne part d'intimité aux invités. La localisation est un peu en retrait, ce qui permet d'être zau calme. Seul petit bémol, on est obligé de prendre la voiture, le village est un peu loin, mais c'est ce qui donne aussi le charme du logement! À recommander donc!!

Chambre très charmante et parfait emplacement pour visiter la région

Esperienza positivissima!! Io e la mia ragazza ci siamo trovati davvero bene con Caterina e suo marito, che ci hanno riservato un trattamento di lusso! Casa bellissima e camera stupenda, comoda e fresca e bagno super... L'atmosfera è di campagna ma arrivare a Siena è semplicissimo. Speriamo di ripassare al più presto!

Spacious house. Beautiful views of the Chianti's landscape.

perfect location right in the Chianti, very nice although the house sits atop a hill and surrounded by vineyards and olive groves. The only advice, provide water and coffee or at least inform those who come for what's missing. Overall everything perfect ... we will definitely return.

Gaia and her dad are great hosts that made us feel very welcome and gave us a great amount of privacy during the the week we stayed at her house. The house is so peaceful although you hear the animals on their small farm in the morning it is exactly the countryside feeling that we've asked for. You oversee the vineyard and olive trees from the garden, have breakfast underneath the cherry tree and within 30-45 min walk you get to experience Monteriggioni castle which you can see from the house. Gaia and her dad even left us a bottle of their own organic wine and olive oil to try. My girlfriend and I had a great time and would recommend the romantic house to couples or small families, as it has one big kitchen and living room area with a sleeping couch and a separate bedroom for yourself on another floor. Thanks for everything!

Firstly, The area is beautiful and picturesque. I felt an immediate sense of peace and tranquility. Secondly, the unit I stayed in was gorgeous. The provided olive oil and wine, which were made at Novalleto, was a nice touch. I think the only thing I would note for prospective people is that you'll have to be comfortable with a few innocuous spiders in the corners and rooster cock-a-doodle-doos. Lastly, thanks to Gaia for being a gracious host and appreciate the welcome espresso!

Gaia is the perfect host. We were welcomed in right after we pulled up and shown around our private villa. It was charming and quiet, just what we needed. Location is perfect for day trips, and the pool was the break we needed during the heat of the day and at night as we were unwinding from long walks. So romantic!! Left with Novetella olive oil and wine, what a treat. Thank you Gaia.

We spent some lovely days in Novelleto. It is a very special and enchanting piece of earth. We were welcomed by Gaia's parents with some wine and home made Foccatia before they showed us the house. The house and the pool are really wonderful! We also found a bottle of their fantastic home made wine and oil in the kitchen. The communication with Gaia's parents was very smooth and they were helpful with all our questions. Additionally they provided fresh tomatos and figs. I can defenitely recommend Novelleto to everyone!
