An excellent, very well equipped villa with beautiful views which comfortably housed our family of sixteen (ten adults and six children). The owners who live next door were very helpful and fortunately speak very good English. The pool isn't heated but with temperatures in the mid thirties at the end of May it was well used! There are extensive lovely gardens but this did result in the only minor problem, a lot of midges / mosquitoes but just make sure you bring plenty of insect repellant. Overall a perfect villa for our extended family.

Das Haus entsprach der Beschreibung und erfüllte alle Versprechen. Die Privatsphäre wurde in jeder Hinsicht gewahrt. Die Einrichtungen waren für heiße Tage (Pool) bis hin zu frischen Abenden (großer Rau) für alles vorhanden. Die geschmackvolle Einrichtung wurde jeder Vorstellung gerecht. Lia, als Ansprechpartnerin, stand jederzeit zur Verfügung.
Als Ausgangspunkt für die Erkundungen der Toskana lag es ideal.
Besonders zu empfehlen waren Lari (mit der Nudelfabrik Martelli und der Osteria LA BOTTEGA DI CANFREO mit der benachbarten Käserei Antica Grotta di Stagionatura - Besichtigung über die Osteria möglich) und San Gimignano mit der Gelateria Dondoli (Ausgezeichnete Qualität und Warten in der Schlange wert). Als außerwöhnliches Gourmeterlebnis kann ich das für einen MICHELIN-Stern nominierte Restaurant Lo Scopiccio Ristorante (nur 1,2km entfernt) empfehlen.
Wer von Florenz anreist sollte einen Zwischenstopp (zum Käse- Wein- und Öltasting) bei der Fattoria Corzano and Paterno,in San Casciano in Val di Pesa machen (es lohnt sich).
Viel Spaß in der Toskana.

The amenities covered everything from hot days (pool) to cool evenings (large patio). The tasteful decor exceeded all expectations. Lia, our point of contact, was always available.
It was an ideal base for exploring Tuscany.
I highly recommend Lari (home to the Martelli pasta factory and the Osteria LA BOTTEGA DI CANFREO, with the neighboring Antica Grotta di Stagionatura cheese cellar—tours available through the osteria) and San Gimignano with Gelateria Dondoli (excellent quality and well worth the wait in line). For an exceptional gourmet experience, I highly recommend the restaurant Lo Scopiccio Ristorante (just 1.2 km away), which has been nominated for a MICHELIN star.
If you’re traveling from Florence, you should make a stop (for cheese, wine, and olive oil tastings) at Fattoria Corzano and Paterno in San Casciano in Val di Pesa (it’s well worth it).
Have a great time in Tuscany.

Wij vonden het huis een andere uitstraling hebben dan op de foto’s, zelfs zo dat we ons afvroegen of we wel bij het goede huis waren aangekomen. De communicatie verliep heel slecht. Ze beloofde te komen maar kwam pas veel later opdagen. Communiceerde nauwelijks, zo liet ze niet even het huis zien ofzo, en er was een een kinderstoel gereserveerd die toch niet klaarstond. Daarbij vonden wij 200 euro borg in die houding ook zo wantrouwend overkomen en niet zo vriendelijk. Het voelde niet warm, de tuin was niet goed onderhouden. En goed om te weten is dat je echt heel erg afhankelijk bent van een auto. Rond het huis is geen speeltuintje of zwembad en dat is ook niet in de buurt. Siena is wel mooi dichtbij. Het huis zelf heeft verder wel alle benodigdheden, al was het koffiezetapparaat kapot. Het was er ook lekker koel, terwijl het buiten erg warm was. Wij laten nauwelijks slechte recensies achter, maar hier zijn we zelfs eerder weggegaan…
[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] We felt the house looked different than it did in the photos—so much so that we wondered if we’d actually arrived at the right house. Communication was very poor. She promised to come but didn’t show up until much later. She barely communicated—she didn’t even show us around the house or anything—and a high chair that had been reserved wasn’t ready after all. On top of that, we felt that asking for a 200-euro security deposit with that attitude came across as distrustful and not very friendly. It didn’t feel welcoming, and the yard wasn’t well-maintained. It’s also good to know that you’re really, really dependent on a car. There’s no playground or pool around the house, and there aren’t any nearby either. Siena is nice and close, though. The house itself does have all the essentials, though the coffee maker was broken. It was also nice and cool inside, even though it was very hot outside. We hardly ever leave bad reviews, but in this case, we even left early…
Super Unterkunft mit ganz kleinem Haken….. Die Zuwegung ist für Sportwagen ungeeignet, da sehr staubige Schotterpiste mit sehr vielen und tiefen Schlaglöchern. Fahrzeug setzt auf.
[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] Great place to stay with just one tiny drawback… The access road isn't suitable for sports cars because it's a very dusty gravel road with lots of deep potholes. The car bottoms out.

This is a wonderful home in Montepulciano! It is a perfect example of a traditional Italian home. It is well located in the historic area. As in all of historic Montepulciano, there are hills involved!

Lovely apartment in a fantastic location. Large and airy. The bathroom is functional but would benefit from upgrading. The only drawback is the waste management as its a 10 minute drive to the recycling centre or €100 charge for removal
