Bellisima!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Podere Ampella. The setting was in the most beautiful and scenic of spots we saw in all of Tuscany ( believe me, we got lost so many times that we can safely say we saw most of Tuscany;). The house is charming and comfortable and suited our family of 6. We had ample room and my kids really enjoyed the pool. What a nice treat after touring ( and getting lost) during a hot July day. The house is very clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Highly recommended and would love to return again one day! Thank you, Paola! We are going to miss those sunsets:(

Tuscany in June
The setting is a high spot in rural Tuscany with a beautiful view in all directions. The property was clean, well-furnished and a quiet, comfortable place to stay. The nearest town is San Giovanni d'Asso, which is a 5-7 minute drive. The restaurant in the fortress there is definitely worth a trip. We found our stay there thoroughly enjoyable and would consider staying there again should our travels take us to Tuscany.

Schitterende week in Toscane
Prachtig huis met zwembad en een fantastisch uitzicht. Goede uitvalsbasis voor meerdere uitstappen. Wel vrij ver van de verschillende luchthavens. Wij kwamen vanuit Pisa met de trein tot in Siena (een kleine 2 uur) waar vrienden ons kwamen oppikken met de auto (nog eens drie kwartier met de auto). Voor de rest alles tiptop in orde.

The McDonalds from Canada purchased this villa on December 2017 . They are Trusting me ( Paola ) to find guests and to make sure they have a great Holiday in Tuscany.

Why they chose this property

Paul and I feel in love with Podere Ampella as soon as we drove up the driveway. We had been looking at homes in Italy for a couple of years but when we saw our Villa Ampella we feel in love with the house. It was exactly what we envisioned all these years while looking for our home in Tuscany. The views from every window is a painting of Cyprus trees and rolling hills. The house is spacious with a wonderful family room and big dining room. As an Italian myself the dining room was very important. The bedrooms are a perfect size. Having 2 full bathrooms on the upper floor and a half bathroom on main floor is an added bonus not found in most homes. The patio in the back with views to die for was were we saw ourselves having an espresso in the morning or dinner with a glass of Brunello at night.
Tuscany is a dream that keeps returning for the rest of your life and our Villa Ampella will help make your dreams come true. It made our dream of Tuscany come true.
Nancy and Paul McDonald- Villa Ampella

What makes this property unique

The space that the house has to offer is very special. The sunset view and the piecefull surrounding is really unique .
The proximity to the many picturestic villages and town make it so easy to see so explore the so famaous Montalcino and Val D orcia area and also enjoy the swimming pool at the same time .
