Charming house and location!!! Only a short drive from major tourist locations and right in the middle of agricultural areas; wineries and agriturismos within minutes. We loved our unique stay!

We were greeted by the host's husband and then the host. They welcomed us in and showed us our room, which was huge! They were very friendly and accommodating. We arrived at dinner time, so our host called three restaurants on our behalf and booked a reservation for us. The location was quiet and peaceful, except for the church bell that added to the Tuscan experience. The location was easy to find and convenient to get in and out of.

As described, must have a car.

We had a lovely stay at Angelita's beautiful house! She was very welcoming and gave us some recommendations of things in the area. She always had breakfast set out for us. I really enjoyed hearing the church bells going off outside our window. She helped us with our boarding passes, and showed us around a bit. We loved all the secret passages! We also had no trouble with the wifi. It worked in our room pretty well, and if it didn't, we went to the common area and it worked just fine.

We really enjoyed our stay, Angelita and her husband really made us feel at home, the place is an old country house in a very charming place. Breakfast was really good with homemade jams and local bread and they offered us if we wanted a different kind of it (like with cold cuts). Place was very clean and beds were comfortable. All in all highly recommended for the price and on top very close to everything worth seeing in Tuscany through very scenic roads.

Such a beautiful area, countryside was amazing. Lovely hosts and we had the most remarkable time staying here.

It was an interesting experience. A very old house with an impressing history. Very big room and bath.

We adored Angelita's B&B! On the top of a hill overlooking an incredibly scenic view of vineyards, the B&B is in an adorable historic building, was more than suitable for our needs, and so very comfortable. The main room is filled with her husband's fantastic one-of-a-kind paintings, and the spaces themselves have very neat little artistic additions. We arrived to the B&B very late, and Angelita so very kind to meet us at that late hour and ensure that we were comfortable. Also, she had a lovely little breakfast waiting for us when we awoke, with her HOMEMADE peach jam!! :D

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful house in Lucardo. You have a stunning view over the Tuscan hills with amazing sunsets and a really nice pool. The entire property is in a fantastic condidtion, you can reap fresh strawberries, lemons, zucchinies and many more for own use. The house is very clean and the interior is very tasteful decorated. There is nothing you will miss. We cooked several times at home it was fun to spent time in the house. The location is also perfect for day trips, so we visited Arezzo, San Gimigiano, Siena and Livorno. Massimo and his family are very kind - Gabriella prepared the best tiramisu we have ever had when we arrived at the house. At any time they were approachable and really cared about us. It is just a lovely family and it was so nice meeting them. All in all it was the best place we have ever stayed in Tuscany and we can strongly recommend a stay at Massimo´s, Gabriella´s, Camilla´s and Jacopo´s house. For sure we will come back one time. Jörg, Sabine, David & Anna

This home goes beyond expectations! The drive from Rome was approximately 3 hours- getting out of the busy city was just what we needed. Driving up to the home there are wonderful vistas. And then you drive up the driveway and it hits you- ''this is what heaven should look like". The panoramic views and the landscaping around the home are amazing. This home cannot be described by the photos- it's beyond nice.... part of you wants to keep it your own little secret so you can return one day and book it for the month. But this gem should be shared. We cannot say enough about the family- their gunuiniely kind welcoming.... with the best tiramisu you can possibly taste. They went above and beyond to make this home cozy and quaint. Everything about it will exceed your expectations. We enjoyed the outdoors - the bocci court was lots of fun! The pool was too chilly but I can imagine inthe warmer months it's amazing to sit there with that view! We ate both at the restaurant at the bottom of the hill (very nice views), but the highlight was Massimo arranged reservations at the pizzeria in Fiano- best wood fired pizza's we've ever tried. You must have a car to stay here- there's too much to explore and I believe it would be difficult without. We took two day trips to Pisa (1.5 hours) and Florence - Word to wise- we parked outside the zone in Scandicci and took the tram to the main train station. This was very easy and much better than scrambling for parking elsewhere. We purchased groceries in a big, modern grocery store in Centraldo at the COOP.FI We can't possibly dream of a better place to stay in Tuscany!!!!! You will not be disappointed and trust us..... you won't want to leave!!!!!

We had a wonderful experience at this villa in Lucardo. Its situation is perfect with fantastic views across the Tuscan countryside. It was a real pleasure to sit outside the house each evening and watch the sun set over the mountains. We split our time between enjoying the pool and garden and visiting places such as Florence, Siena, San Gimignano and Lucca ..... which can all be reached in less than an hour. The house itself is tastefully furnished and contained everything we needed during the holiday. It was a special treat to be able to enjoy fruit and vegetables picked directly from the garden. Massimo and Gabriella are the perfect hosts ...... they made us feel so welcome and generously invited us to join them for a meal in a nearby village. This was one of the best holidays we've had as a family and will definitely hope to return again in the future.

We had the most glorious two weeks in this beautiful Lucardo home. The pictures do not do it justice, and the view is breathtaking. We spent many evenings simply sipping wine and watching the sunset. The pool, bocce court and garden were a delight and our hosts took such good care of us - even dropping off homemade Tuscan delicacies! Massimo and his family have created a piece of heaven and we would recommend to anyone. It is so wonderfully located that Florence, Pisa, Siena, Lucca and San Gimignano were all easy day trips. We can't thank our hosts enough - simply the most magical vacation we could have ever asked for.

The house is fantastic! The view is even better in real than in the photos. It's all been perfect and beautifully maintained. Upon arrival gave us the entire family welcomed and showed us everything. A homemade Tiramisu was ready for us in the fridge. In the garden we could at any time to the delicious melon, tomatoes, figs, strawberries, eggplants, and and and use. Massimo the owner came every morning (very early and very quiet) around the pool to clean and see if we lack something. We have so felt comfortable!

We spent 3 great weeks Luccardo. The house is beautiful and the view. The owners are lovely, and a rare hospitality today. The place is well situated for visiting the Tuscan morning and enjoy the pool in the afternoon.

Beautiful villa with the best views. This is a truly lovely location, the property has been finished to a high standard and is very comfortable for four. Lovely pool (if a little cold) and perfect outdoor space with ample parking. Two good restaurants within walking distance and shops in neighbouring villages. We will definitely return to this lovely villa next time we are in Tuscany.

We were warmly welcomed. Enjoy an aperitif and a homemade tiramisu were ready for us. It was delicious. The hosts were within minutes on site because we arrived an hour earlier than planned. Super Service. the house and the surrounding area has exceeded our expectations and if we have the opportunity, we will be back. Unfortunately the weather was not as perfect as the house, but no one can. The equipment was completely and has left nothing left to be desired. For us everything was just perfect perfect. Many thanks.

In the hills, in the peace of the Tuscan countryside, away from noise and traffic, you can really relax. Judith is very helpful and greets you with a smile, and that wonderful Florentine accent that seems tinged with good humor. The apartment is tastefully decorated and expresses warmth, thanks to the small details that make the place more welcoming of any condo. And then, you want to put, you turn around from here Tuscany without taking supestrade!

We really loved an appreciated our stay at La Colombaia. The appt is as described, with large doors from both sides opening to the gardens. Charming environment with absolute silence and beautiful views. Very well received and very nice neighbours as well. We highly recommend it.

We had a wonderful time in Giudetta's Casa La Colombaia in Montespertoli, Tuscany. It's located in a amazingly beautiful area, with asthonishing views, far beyond we could imagine. Giudetta and her husband Mirko are very nice and welcoming people from the moment we met. Everything we needed was supplied in the house, which was very neath and tidy. It really felt like home to us. We also enjoyed the visits from the communal cat Olivia, who visited us almost every day. The location is in driving distance from all the places we planned to see. We would recommend this place to everyone who's looking for a peaceful stay and a wonderful vacation. We are certainly coming back!

We stayed very well. Judith and her husband are very welcoming. The house, which has a beautiful view, it is cool and refreshing. There are two modern bathrooms, one with views of the countryside. In the kitchen nothing is missing! There is a small garden behind with a table and another very pleasant space in front of the house, with flowers and trees. There is always a little 'shadow. The house is also perfectly situated to go to Florence (20 minutes) and the Tuscan countryside. There is a food bar 2 km. In short it is perfect! Thank you so much Judith :-)

My family and I spent a great time in "La Colombaia". After a week we consider it as our own house. Very comfortable and specially quite well reformed. The place is unique to stay with childreen, very peacefull and beautiful views. Giuditta, Mirko and family were always attentive to our needs and helped us when it was necesary. Great vacation!!!! and whising to tornare!!!!

Although the quite short stay the experience here was fantastic! Giuditta and her husband are fantastic and very welcoming people. the place is absolutely beautiful with all the space and comforts that one can ask for "scenery" included, it is placed on top of a hill dominating the entrance of the Chianti valley. I suggest asking them for any information you need, especially culinary...you will be surprised how much they know!

BOOK. THIS. PLACE! We LOVED our stay here. The location is remote but close enough to a couple cute towns, the hosts don't speak English but are so kind and accommodating, and it is located on the top of a hill so you can see miles and miles of some of the most beautiful landscape I have ever seen. Wished we could have stayed longer - and hope to return. If you're considering a romantic adventure in Tuscany, this is the place for you!!

Superb Tuscany villa - felt brand new inside, but had period features - excellent attention to detail in home. Views were from a postcard, hills and valleys you can get lost in. Totally would be a place to visit again and big highlight of our Italian tour

Me and my boyfriend spent a relaxing day surrounded by the autumnal colors of the surrounding hills. The Casina is cozy and warm ..mette immediately at ease. Blessed are courteous and helpful to his guests. We will definitely return!

Benedetta made us very warmly and took care to light the wood stove to warm the studio before we arrived. She is very generous and attentive to her guests. Housing is just as described in the announcement in a quiet and peaceful place. We would definitely return!

The apartment is very small but good for a couple who wanna travel in the area. It had every thing we needed (washer, kitchen ... No wifi), and the price is very good. We recommend the apartment for travelers

Blessed is one who are few times in your life: solar, helpful and takes care of anything. Any problem she rushes and above is very caring and gives you everything that could serve you! My compliments for the cleanliness and friendliness! Absolutely recommended!

Blessed proved immediately helpful and friendly, with a quick and effective communication, also pledging to make us find the already warm on our arrival. The accommodation offers all the basic necessities, and it is also located in a very quiet location. Host recommended.

It was our second visit to Ellisa, it was a really place where we wanted to come again. Very warm fire place in the house, quiet location, all kitchen stuff available, also both times there was breakfast: milk, honey, croissant, jam, butter, some crispy bread, biscuits, good grind coffee, olive oil and sugar :)

We had a lovely time in Benedetta's cozy little house! Everything looks the same as in the photos. I think it is even better to make in the warmer months there holidays because then also the beautiful garden can be shared and you thereby has more space. Benedetta is a super hostess, very helpful and friendly, thank you!

This room was as described. A very small studio. The couch/bed was comfortable. The small kitchen had everything necessary. All linens and towels were clean and there was hot water. It offered privacy being unattached from the main house. Parking was safe and right on property. My only issue was the fireplace which at first looked beautiful but it's the only source of heat and gives off a strong smell. We left for dinner and by the time we returned it had put itself out and we could not get it to turn back on. Luckily Benedetta brought us an electric heater and we got through the night well with it. I'm not one to usually wear slippers but the floor is freezing so make sure you have something for your feet. I was excited for the fireplace but I didn't like smelling like a campfire on vacation so we left as much as we could in the car. It was a cute place for one night with beautiful view.

Beautiful place. unique and quite. Cristiana and her husband are very nice and welcoming.

Cristiana has been a wonderful host and we can absolutely recommend her place if you’re planning to go to Tuscany. From the house you have indeed spectacular views and you are on driving distance to many medieval villages and places such as Florence and Siena. Cristiana’s place is well equipped and the beds are comfortable. She has been very helpful and made us feel home. When we were lost her husband picked us up in the village and since we arrived late in the afternoon she had prepared a breakfast for the next morning.

Cristiana warm welcome, morning walk with Antonio and his dogs to discover the surroundings, beautiful house tastefully furnished with a very romantic view, we enjoyed the well-shaded terrace. very well situated to visit the whole Tuscany. The hosts were very helpful. Definitely recommended.

Everything was perfect! Cristiana very friendly and hospitable hostess, helped us in everything. Beautiful spacious house, cozy, with a special atmosphere, a well-equipped, fast internet. And, of course, views of the surrounding hills! By car, close to the beautiful towns.

The welcome was very warm and Cristiana she presented us the details in housing to make us feel at home. We enjoyed our stay in the heart of Chianti.

Cristiana met us on arrival and left wine, cake, fruit and more , bless her! We loved the apartment & the views & we had good discussions.A lovely home with warm people.

Cristiana is an amazing host. She is very friendly and warm, The terrace overlooks a landscape of dreams, and the apartment is as described. We crorait in a movie so it's typical! We had a very pleasant stay in a true paradise.

This beautifully decorated house with a gorgeous view of the Chianti Hills was perfect for our 3 night stay Tuscany! It was spacious for a couple and very well maintained. Loved the colours as well! We were also able to cook our meals in the kitchen and a picnic at the terrace is a must! Communication with Cristiana was very good and on the day of arrival, we were greeted with a warm welcome and suggested places to visit and eat. She was also very thoughtful and had a bottle of wine ready for us. It was like staying with a friend rather than an airbnb. We had a very relaxing stay and wish we could come back soon. Highly recommended!

The welcome by Annamaria was fantastic! He made us feel at home from the first moment! The house is cozy and comfortable, is the ideal place for a week of total relaxation! Close to Certaldo center, fantastic medieval village! Even Florence, Volterra, San Geminiano, Siena are easily accessible during our stay. Thank you thank you thank you Annamaria for making our holiday memorable. We will definitely be back to see you in the fabulous valley of Chianti!

Very nice quiet place! Well located in relation to large cities to visit (Florence, Siena). Annamaria was very welcoming, helpful and attentive to our requests. The cottage was ready to welcome us in the best conditions (cleanliness, freshness, snacks). A strongly advise!

This is a nice traditional flat in a very quiet and beautiful environment. We (a family with two teens) had a good and relaxing time, enjoyed the meals often outside on the terrasse and very impressed by the view in the middle of the vine yards. The location is a very good starting point in the middle of tuscany to visit Siena, Firence, San Gimignano or Greve in Chianti. Also, the old town of Certaldo is worth to visit and also good restaurants are in the near (Pizzeria Il Fiano, or Osteria Chianti close to Fiano).

Anna Maria who lives in Florence was there when we arrived to show us the house and introduce his lovely neighbors. She gave us sound advice to park for free in Galluzzo, Florence neighborhood, and then take the bus that takes to the Ponte Vecchio. The location allows to visit Florence but also Siena, Volterra and San Gimignano. The house is very quiet, the beautiful setting in the Tuscan countryside. An address to advise.

Not easy to leave Fiano, Annamaria's cottage in the hills, vineyards and olive trees. What a great place indeed to discover Tuscany, the softness of his campaign, to little distance from its cities -Siena, Florence, San Gimignano, Volterra ... We felt good - "at home" - in this house colorful, where each object seems to have a story. And the warm and discreet neighborhood Daniella and Flavio reinforces this feeling of peace. Grazie mille!

The house was much appreciated. Lots of space and plenty of rest with incredibly beautiful views over Tuscan hills! In the kitchen everything was there under the pergola we ate often. We did not miss anything. In the kitchen everything was plentiful. Also towels and linens were plentiful. The neighbor has welcomed us warmly. We could always appeal. The neighbors were friendly. There are there some houses on the property, which is grouped as in a yard.

If you want to drive around Tuscany and wake up to a stunning view, after sleeping soundly, then book Annamaria's cottage. Beautifully decorated, supplied with everything you could possibly need, it was the best experience of countryside Tuscany. Annamaria is warm and welcoming. Bonus, Annamaria's neighbour Flavio who makes good wine which you can buy from.

We had a wonderful time at Annamarias place. The house is very cosy and definitely big enough for 4 people. We were welcomed by Flavio our neighbour. He and his wife Daniela are very hospitable and made our stay special. Thanks for everything!

Had an amazing stay at Jana's. very nice people and a very nice home. The view was stunning! Definitely worth the value. Will stay again.

It was a lovely experience staying with Jana and her family in their Tuscan countryside house. They are very friendly people, who were very welcoming and did everything to make sure my stay was comfortable. They haves beautiful terrace which overlooks a vineyard which is a great place to unwind and relax with them. I highly recommend this stay in their home. It was a pleasure getting to know them all and I hope to keep in touch. Highly recommend.

Beautiful views, kind and helpful host, cozy home!

.

A bottle of Chianti waiting for us in welcome. The accommodation has everything you need to feel good and welcomed.

Amazing place. Great hospitality by Martina. The view from the home was absolutely stunning. The house was well stocked and ver comfortable. . We were a family of 6. Martina was very communicative and was always on call to help us out. Definitely recommend.

We had a very good stay in such a beautiful region. The house is very nice and the view from the garden is superb. Martina is a very nice guest and so is her family who were very kind to our children.

La Terrazza is a very convenient house, well located, with good views to enjoy and Martina always attentive making sure that the stay very enjoyable. A very good base to explore Tuscany!

The host canceled this reservation 19 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

We had a wonderful stay. The property and the environment are just as shown in the pictures, if not even better. Dörthe was always a very nice and uncomplicated hostess and we have felt ourselves very well. I would recommend this hotel without restrictions!

We had a wonderful time at Dorthe amidst a Tuscan postcard scenery. Dorthe is a warm, uncomplicated and very helpful hostess who has provided us with many good tips. The apartment is generously equipped and with everything you need. From the breakfast table on the terrace one has a great view over the pool, garden and Tuscan hills. There are lots of sunny and shady areas, so that everyone's feel-good location can be found. After the lively Italian cities like Siena, Florence and Lucca, which are easily accessible, we have recovered well in the quiet surroundings. We are very happy to recommend this accommodation to our friends on!

We felt very welcome and well cared for felt in this beautiful apartment with wonderful views. Everything is exactly as described. The landscape is unique and we have made great trips in small Tuscan villages and towns. Dorte is very sympathetic and helpful. We are happy to come once again.

We found Dòrthe's place perfect! Everything was as described and shown in the photos. We felt very comfortable. Dòrthe is a great host who made sure that everything was ok and communicated very well. We highly recommend this house for anyone who wants to visit Tuscany.

Dörthe was a great host. The flat was marvellous, well decorated. The swimming pool was like ours. The house is isolated, far from any noise. I am looking to coming back asap.

Stayed at Dorthe's with my two children (11 & 8) for 3 nights, and had a lovely relaxing time.

We stayed at Dörtes place for about a week and couldn't have been happier. Her place is beautiful, calm and clean surrounded by picturesque Tuscany hillside. It is the perfect spot for a relaxing holiday. The apartment is exactly as advertised. Newly renovated, tastefully furnished and completely equipped with everything you need. Dörte has been living in Italy for 26 years most of them in that same spot, so she knows the surrounding perfectly well. She had some great tips for what to do in he area. The appartment is the perfect spot to explore the region as it is right in the middle of Tuscany. You can easily reach Florence, San Gimignano, Volterra, Siena... Dörte was always available and we had a good time together by the pool. She harvests her own olives from the huge estate and makes her own wine which was pretty interesting. We would highly recommend staying there and will most definitely come back some day.

In a sceneric environment in the triangle Pisa, Florence and Siena the Air BNB is located. Combined with true hospitality of Dorthe a marvelous stay is assured. If you are looking for the true Toscane landscape and cultural trips this location is the perfect base

Marjet is a wonderful host. Her house is beautiful and my girlfriend and I had the most amazing time staying with her. The entire house is spotless and the beds extremely comfortable. Her house is located on top of a hill in a small town in Tuscany with the most beautiful sunsets overlooking vineyards and olive orchards. We woke up each morning to her fresh homemade preserves and excellent assorted breads and pastries. Marjet is a wealth of knowledge of the surrounding area and had great suggestions of where to visit and eat. My girlfriend and I would travel around the area all day and return to Marjet to discuss all the wonderful things about Italy over some fine Italian wines. I missed her place the day I left and hope to return soon and stay with her again. It truly is a magical place.

It was absolutely a nice experience to stay at Marjet's place ! The house has a stunning panoramic view on the beautiful hills and vineyards of Tuscany. Pictures can only give a flavour of it's real beauty ! The house itself is nicely decorated and the guest rooms are very cosy and functional. In the morning Marjet prepared a fresh Italian breakfast which one can enjoy on the terrace. Marjet is a great host ... She enjoys to share her knowledge and passion for the region, for Italy & his culture and she has a great hospitality. She is an interesting and warm person who really cares about her guests. She does every possible effort to make you enjoy your time at her place. She even took me to some local social and cultural activities. I can absolutely recommend this place to everyone who wants to explore the beauty of the cities in Tuscany (they are all close by and you can get great tips from a passionate host) and who likes to come back to a quite place surrounded by beautiful nature in the evening.

Fantastic and absolutely enjoyed ourselves. The host was unable to be with us but made every attempt to help us with recommendations of places to visit and dine at. The map that as provided also went a long way to assist as the GPS in the car did go a bit wonky at times. Lovely house and my wife loved the kitchen. Will certainly visit Tuscany again with the family.

This B&B is even more than the listing promises and more than we expected. Its location, garden, house and Marjets hospitality are simply magical. I would definetly recomment this place to anyone and everyone.

Highly recommend Marjet and her cute house in amazing location. And we were very lucky, we asked same day we were going to come. In the matter of 2 hours, we picked up keys. Really quick and hassle free response. Advise: stay 2 days, there is so much to see around and wish we could enjoy the sunset on the terrace in front of the house! Marjet is welcoming and caring host, she served as delicious breakfast and suggested places to see. It was gem of our trip

We spend 3 days at Marjet's house and had an amazing time. She took the time to tell us about the surrounding and gave us some special tips. The rooms were especially nice, the bed was most comfortable. Besides the house, the area and surroundings are breathtaking beautiful. Not only Marjet was friendly but also her lovely dog Betsy. Thank you for your hospitality. We recommend La Casette to everyone. Greets Thomas & Sadaf

This was our first stop after visiting Venice. Marjet was a wonderful host and very welcoming upon our arrival. She shared helpful information on 2 restaurants in close proximity and reviewed maps on the Chianti region and Florence.

Great stay at Marjet's. Very nice place, amazing landscapes and perfect breakfast. Thanks again!

Helen's house and Massimo is small but well appointed and welcoming. The location is perfect for visiting Tuscan villages and major cities such as Florence, Siena and Pisa. In 3 days we visited 5 villages and 2 cities. In the house there was no Internet connection, but the village pub has WiFi and good coffee:) Massimo was very attentive from the get asked if we needed something for dinner (we arrived at 21), and at home we find a welcome basket of commodities. We also told how to get to the sites we wanted to visit; He recommended where to see the best sunset of Tuscany) and where to dine in the area at night year-end. Definitely a good experience to repeat in summer; )

A very warm welcome from Massimo !!!! Housing is friendly, clean and well equipped. A bouquet of flowers and a basket on arrival .. The room downstairs is a bit dark. The house is well situated for exploring the region. We had a great time.

We were very satisfied with renting this house for 5 days. I want to emphasize the quality of the welcome and friendliness of the owner. When we arrived, there was a basket including olive oil and local wine in the refrigerator: a bottle of fresh milk, water, butter. Some cakes, bread and jars of jam. Again thank you for this nice touch that touched us and made us feel at home !!! The accommodation is well equipped, clean and comfortable (especially the bed). We have a great stay because the house is located in the heart of Tuscany, we were able to visit Certaldo, San Gimignano, Chianti, Florence, Pisa, Lucca and Siena. That happiness !! This was my first Airbnb experience and I am fully satisfied. I highly recommend this rental !!!!!!

It was wonderful to meet Helen...she couldn't have been a better hostess. We were greeted by a welcome basket of local wine and produce and an offer to take us sight seeing. Helen gave up her Sunday morning taking us on a tour of local sights we would never have found on our own. The flat is in a small quiet village well placed from which to explore the beauties of Tuscany. Make sure you follow Helens directions as there is more than one Fornacette in Tuscany. And don't rely on WiFi or phone coverage which is tricky in this area. Thank you Helen for a wonderful stay.

Our family of 2 adults and 2 children had a fantastic stay in Helen and Massimo's apartment. The apartment featured a lovely big main bedroom and comfortable bed, and bunk beds in a second room. We stayed during winter and found the heating was more than sufficient. There were good cooking facilities provided and the apartment was well maintained and clean. Our hosts really went above and beyond in ensuring we had information on how to explore the local area. The area would be difficult to explore without a car; however, there is a bus once or twice a day to Florence. The only downside was it is in a valley and didn't have good phone reception, at least not with Tim. We were able to go up to the hill 2 minutes drive and get good reception there. The Tuscan region was a a wonderful area to visit for rest and relaxation. Make sure you if you find yourself in Fornacette you find some local wine, olive oil and enjoy the good life!

We used Helen & Massimo's compact apartment as a base from which to explore this very attractive part of Tuscany for a week. The flat is ideally situated to visit the many historical centres, artisanal producers and famous wineries in this Region. Our hosts were most generous with their time and hospitality and provided a very welcome basket of local produce with much advice about places to visit. Helen included an orientation tour as part of our induction which we thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated. The flat is secure, very clean and well presented, and although the living area is compact, the bedrooms are a good size and the beds comfortable. All mod cons were provided, but WiFi requires the appropriate Java Runtime Environment to make use of the 3G aerial, or visit a cafe in one of the local hillside towns. Phone reception is available 100 metres up the hill, which was no problem. There are a number of free public parking areas around the hamlet, first-come-first-served. The local milk bar had a small deli and provided a handy service for the staples. There is a bus service to Florence, leaving 6.30am and returning in the evening, any other times appearing on the timetable should be confirmed at the bus depot! Highly recommended.

Friendly welcome, documentation on the many nearby and very nice village. Near Florence (30 minutes). We found the living room a bit small for a family of 5.

We felt at Helen and Massimo very well. The house is very clean and fully furnished. The kitchen is well equipped. It is an ideal location to explore the attractions of Tuscany wichtgsten. Helen and Massimo keep valuable tips on how nearby supermarkets etc. in a book ready. In the nearby bar, there is free Wi-Fi (consumption desired) and everything you need to buy. Despite early arrival was to move into the house no problem. For us, the house was a family of four very appropriate. Because the bedroom should be located on the 1st floor the children be safe stairs.

We had a great time staying at Maria's place! The chalet is very well located to visit the area. We were able to visit Siena, San Gimignano, Firenze... Maria welcomed us and was always available if needed. Her breakfast with home made jelly is delicious! She works a lot for the garden and it is a real pleasure to enjoy a drink or the pool in the place. A lovely place that I recommend.

We had a nice stay at the cute garden (URL HIDDEN) is well equiped.Allthough we stayed there in july we did not miss airconditioning because the shed is settled under trees.Luana and the hole family were very nice and helpfull.The garden with the swimmingpool is beautifull.Across the street you will find a very good restaurant which offers tuscan food and a great view from the terrace.If you are sensitive against noise you should bring earplugs because the garden lies on a (URL HIDDEN) is a good place to stay as a starting point to visit all the small villages in the heart of tuscany as well as florence and siena.During our stay they had a little baby cat and 3 big cats with whom we fell in love.

A cute little granny-flat style cottage with a gorgeous garden and swimming pool.

We would like to thank Luana and Maria Teresa again for their hospitality. To invite us into their house for the breakfasts we had. Luana handed us some great tips which we used to see Tuscany. We had a great time and can fully recommend this place to everyone. Greatings to the two little ones, such a beautifull and kind kids!!

We spent a great time at accommodation of maria & luana. This place is confortable and spacious, with a beautiful private garden. It s a strategic place to see mains Tuscany's villages. We learnt to do pasta and pizza, it was awesome. I recommend this place, besides maria and her family are very pleasant. Camille & William

Ciao famiglia, Thank you very much for your hearty welcome. It was perfect. Thanks a lot to Maria and Luana, you are fantastic. We will miss you very much and also Catarina. You are very good hosts. I will come back with pleasure. Don't hesitate if you want to discover Alsace :)

We spend a wonderfull week at Certaldo. Maria and Luana are very friendly. It is a beautyfull place in lovely Tuscane! The chalet was nice,clean. Good to stay at this place with the nice garden and pool. Near places as San giminiano and Siena also Barberino is great!

We had a nice stay in the chalet. Maria Teresa and especially her daughter Luana were very friendly, kind and very helpful. They took immediate care when there was a problem, and came up with a good solution. Disappointing was that the wifi signal was strong enough to reach the chalet and also that the garden is right next to a busy road through town, with sometimes big trucks passing by. That made it not as quiet as we were hoping for. Besides that the garden itself is very nice, and there was plenty of space to sit and relax. And the chalet had everything we needed. We really also enjoyed the company of their sweet little girl, and the two little cats that were only a few weeks old and very playful. Ciao! Marjolein and Shirley Haarlem, The Netherlands

very warm welcome - Host both discreet but very helpful and pleasant, speaking perfect French. beautiful environment Furniture and equipment, however, a bit rustic but functional and clean.

Alberto's place feels like paradise! The house is gorgeous, the pool is great, the landscape is breathtaking! Alberto's father was the best host, very welcoming and willing to help, he gave us good tips on what to visit and where to eat. I would definitely recommend this place and go back there for another perfect vacations in Tuscany!!

wonderful stay in Trecento! the house is spacious and well equipped (product and essuis dishes, pots, glasses, ...), the pool is very nice too. the house is perfectly situated for visiting the Tuscan. Roberto is always available and is very attentive yet unobtrusive. we highly recommend this location!

Love the house, love the garden and pool, love the location. The photos don't really do this place justice. Alberto's dad (Roberto) is a lovely man who made us feel welcome and comfortable, and provided some great tips for restaurants, local shopping etc, but was always unintrusive - the perfect host. No hesitation is recommending. So relaxing! (Please note that the wifi was unreliable so if this is important to you during your stay you might need to consider this.)

Thank you very much to Roberto! The kids had a great swimming pool. Ideal for visiting the region. A good place to keep.

We were very well received when we arrived at the house. Besides a really nice tour, it was Alberto's father very much aware of the trip youngest of nine months. Which was waited with toys and fresh freshly picked squash. We others were also greeted by snacks and water at welcome. The stay was really good because we in one way all the time can visit Alberto's father with questions for route descriptions, tasting, etc. and on the other hand also were allowed to be very private, as soon as we would. The house was very beautiful and authentic. Especially the high ceilings and heavy furniture made it a really fine and authentic house. Outdoor area with pool and views of Tuscany is indescribably beautiful and here we spent a lot of hours. All in all, the stay was really good - we have nothing negative to say about the Trecento Farm House. A good advice is to bring insect repellent and plenty of it.

Father Alberto, who is the host of the house was very nice, open and willing to help you throughout the duration of our stay. Place is the fulfillment of the vision of living in a real Tuscan house surrounded by picturesque hills full of boxes of grapes. The apartment itself has an amazing atmosphere, the pictures are not able to fully capture. It is spacious, sunny and pleasantly cool at the same time, despite the high temperature, fully equipped with all appliances. House with two sides surrounded by pleasant gardens, and the pool and a view that stretches out behind the fence relaxes one hundred percent. Excellent starting point for the larger Tuscan cities. It should take care of prior purchases, as the nearest shop is located about 9 km and is not open all day. Nearby (from about 2 km) is for a few restaurcji and bars. Place definitely worth recommending!

We had a lovely stay! The farmhouse is very tastefully decorated and has everything you need. The place is clean and it all feels really Italian and timeless, which I love. The garden is quite large and we especially enjoyed lying at the pool, with a perfect view over the Tuscan landscape. Our host was happy to help when needed and was able to give us advice on which villages to visit. Florence, Siena and Pisa are easy to reach from Trecento. This way this is a perfect place to stay if you want to relax, but would like to see some culture as well!

Charming rural house with a typical Tuscany furniture in a very calming and quite place. We loved our evenings on the terrace with a glass of chianti. Sara is very hospitable, always ready to help and solve any your question.

This place is amazing. Beautiful View, great beds, great bedrooma. Only thing i missed was a sofa. Sara was very kind and helpful and het father and mother are two lovely People. We bought some wine and olive oil wich was very sheep. We definatly going Back here.

Everything work nice,beautiful place,near to roads and easy to go in any place in Toscana.

Great authentic/rustic house in a very quiet location inmidst Tuscan countryside. Fantastic if you want a quiet place and have a car. Note that the house is outside in the fields with only few other houses around in a 100m radius. Sightseeing is easily feasible as many interesting places are within 30-60 mins by car (during our one week stay we went to Florence, Siena, San Gimignano, Volterra, Pisa, Monteriggioni and even to the beach). Furniture is nice and authentic/rustic but obviously does not offer modern comfort (e.g. there is no couch, beds are quite comfy, though). House took 2 days to get warm (in March) but it was fine as the fireplace in the kitchen provided a nice intermediate relief. Gas heating is charged additionally, which Sara told us in advance, though. We would highly recommend this house to all those who value an authentic place more than the comfort of a modern home. For us it was great.

Ein schönes rustikales Haus mit Oliven Bäume und tollem Ausblick! Herrliche Ruhe. Wir haben uns in die Gegend verliebt und werden wieder kommen. Herzlichen Dank an Sara und Papa, uns hat nichts gefehlt.

Хорошее тихое место. Прекрасный вид. До Флоренции 30 минут на машине. Без автомобиля практически невозможно добраться. Хорошо оборудована кухня. есть стоянка на 2-3 машины.

Cet endroit est un petit paradis sur terre entouré de paysages magnifiques et d'un calme époustouflant, tout en restant proche de Florence, Pise et Sienne. La maman de Sara est une dame charmante qui nous a accueillis avec la générosité toscane. C'est notre location coup de cœur que nous recommandons vivement.

Jolie demie maison champêtre et authentique nichée au coeur d'un superbe paysage. Très calme et reposant.

Jessica was fantastic! She provides a packet of local restaurants and everything you need to know. Also provided pastries and coffee in the morning (just give her advance notice if you want breakfast or dinner). Only 40 min from Florence and 20 min from Chianti. Would dedinitely stay here again.

Best host ever. We felt at home. Gianfranco's recommendations were very useful. Julia our daughter loved Camilo. The place is cosy and very well-equipped. It's very clean. We enjoyed the fireplace and eating at home. We will definitely return.

Gianfranco and his wife Christine and the love and well-behaved dog truffle Camillo welcomed us warm and gives us an extraordinary stay. They always were keen to give us good recommendations for restaurants and excursions. The property is very quiet amidst a breathtaking landscape. Nevertheless, some places for shopping and eating out in a movable area. It's definitely a good starting point for example Florence or Siena (necessarily Gianfranco ask for restaurants there!). The property is nicely furnished, everything is clean and everything necessary available - and if you need extra something, you must ask Gianfranco only. Thank you for a fantastic holiday!

This is a wonderful place. And it is just as advertised - beautiful, peaceful, comfortable, close to many great areas in Tuscany and drive-able to anywhere else. It's a restored 15th C. villa with two rooms - a well-appointed kitchen downstairs and a spacious bedroom upstairs. And a quiet shaded patio on which to eat copious quantities of bread, olive oil, cheese and wine. It overlooks a valley of olive trees and vineyards. It's about 5 minutes outside of the nearby town (Marcialla) and 15 minutes to a larger town. There are a few other houses on the road and we could occasionally hear other people or cars, but not often and overall, the sense is of peace and quiet. There are trails through the olive trees and vineyards to hike on if you're so disposed. And it worked great as a base - we could generally drive to anywhere we wanted to see in 20 -40 minutes. The host Gianfranco and his wife could not have been more welcoming, warm, friendly and helpful. They have an equally friendly dog (looks like a cross between a standard poodle and a sheep dog), though if you don't like dogs they can likely just keep him in their house which is across the parking area next door. Gianfranco helped us set up some winery tours, gave us suggestions on places to go, and was generally accessible when needed, but not at all obtrusive. All in all, we had a great experience. We loved the hosts, we loved the house, we loved the region.

Gianfranco is charming and very friendly. The Fienile is beautiful--everything the pictures promise and more. Although the weather was great, the evenings were cool and Gianfranco made sure there was plenty of wood for the wood-burning stove. The kitchen was modern but still felt like a country kitchen, and it was amazingly well-equipped with all the necessities and lots of nice touches, such as sugar and salt and ice already made. The upstairs bedroom was beautiful and had a very comfortable sitting area. We thought the bed was large and comfortable. We rented a car, and I'm not sure what we would have done without one. Unless you are a real walker, it would be hard to get to a bus or train. Not sure how safe it is to walk these narrow, twisty, hilly roads. If you are driving in Tuscany, rent a SMALL car. Roads are very narrow. The Fienile is very centrally located and it was easy to get to Siena, Florence, San Gimignano, Certaldo Alto, etc. by car. Tuscany is every bit as beautiful and spectacular as it looks in the movies. Gianfranco's olive farm is in a beautiful area, and is very pretty. The view from the yard and upstairs windows is nice but not breath-taking. There is wireless but it could be stronger, and I had almost no cell phone service at the farm (not all bad). We really enjoyed our stay in the Fienile very much.

We had a great time in the house of Gianfranco. The house is in a quiet in the countryside and is a great base from which to explore the central Tuscany. Who wants to the beach time: Up to the Ligurian coast you need by car about 2 hours. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need. At several windows in the house are permanently installed nets against mosquitoes, which is very advantageous. In August, when we were there, there were a lot of mosquitoes. Who is sensitive, you should get good mosquito repellent for the terrace. Gianfranco was always friendly and very helpful. Through him we had some Tuscan culinary highlights. Gianfranco has a loving dog, Camillo, who has sweetened our stay also. We can only recommend the house in Tuscany!

We loved staying in the cozy farmhouse in Maricella, Tuscsny. Gianfranco was a wonderful host as was his sweet, funny dog Carmillo. I only wish we could have stayed longer. It was the perfect place to stay, tranquil and scenic but so close to many interesting towns and restaurants. We dream of returning to this small slice of heaven.

The fienile is real unique. In case you think about a house in Tuscany, this is exactly how you would imagine an build it. Even the whole interior fits perfectly. Gianfranco is helpful in any situation. *Thumbs up*

It was just wonderful! The little house is idyllically situated with a great view and is nicely furnished! Gianfranco is a perfect host. From there you can take great trips in the region!
