Absolutely stunning location!
This property was the perfect melding of original architecture with modern aesthetic and comfort. The property was clean, well equipped and beautifully furnished. The surrounding community has everything you would every want, in a down to earth and welcoming way. Everything from pastry shops, excellent restaurants, winery tours and more are all walkable from this fantastic location. The property owner was very accommodating and friendly; he went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and enjoyed our stay. We very much enjoyed our experience and would return again!

Wonderful
Villa is spacious, courtyards intimate, lots of things to discover in the walls, remnants of original decorating, pottery, little nooks. Views are spectacular and located near city center. We enjoyed going for cafe every morning. Several spots to choose from. We were there for a month and it was easy to get to train station to travel to Rome and Venice. Lots of quaint towns to drive to also. The host Bruno was very easy to contact and replied quickly.

A Charming Apartment
Our family of nine was entranced by the old-world authenticity of this apartment, yet with the modern amenities we all want. The town was small and easily walkable to good restaurants, with a good coffee shop practically next door. Bruno was an attentive host, and his communication with you prior to checking in was thorough. Would stay here again.

Great house, great location, great host!
We loved the feel of this old house with modern conveniences; perfect for the whole family size wise. We loved walking down to Bar Pasticceria Fiorentina Caterina in the morning for yummy patries and cafe latte’s. We frequented many of the restaurants here and did not have a bad meal. We walked to the market and butcher shop to grill at the villa. There were several activities in the piazza during our three week stay. Perfect location for day trips all through Tuscany. Most touching, my husband got sick and Bruno messaged me every day to check on him. ❤️
