Casa Verdiana is a beautiful villa with breathtaking views. My family and I had a wonderful stay, the house was perfect for us. It had the everything you need except for internet connection. If I had the chance to visit Tuscany again, I would come back to Casa Verdiana. It feels like I never left home. Greve in Chianti is such a charming town with good restaurants and friendly people.

Four of my friends and I took a relaxing weekend trip to Tuscany and this was the perfect villa to stay in! The family that owned the villa were very friendly, accomodating, and helpful with our day-to-day plans. I HIGHLY recommend taking the cooking class that they offer, it was a blast! Girasole was large, clean, and had a spectacular view of the Tuscan countryside. I only wish that we had come a weekend later when the pool opened. I will definitely be returning here when family comes to visit from the States (I currently live in Sicily).

Everything about the place was perfect. Great views, great lawn, great indoor space, even greater hosts Gabriele and Lucia (whose cooking is better than 5 star restaurants). If forced to complain about something, I can only say we couldn't swim because the water was too cold in the pool. Granted the weather was cool. I would score it a 10 out of 10 though since I'm not a big swimmer anyway.

I wish there was a rating even higher than excellent to give! Villa Fabroni was beautiful, the owners were the best, and the countryside was spectacular. If you go, be sure to schedule some dinners at the castle itself. The owner is a great cook and even gives cooking lessons! The cooking lesson was the highlight of our trip and the best food we had. You can also make day trips to Florence, Sienna, San Gimignano, Lucca and Cinque Terre. Te furthest is only a 3 hour drive away!

This is a Great Apartment!! We felt like we were staying in the apartment of a close friend. Its very close to the Leaning Tower and to the entertainment and shopping area. The apartment has everything you need and Anna provided a couple bottles of wine! We will stay there again!

Poor 2 ^/5   Villa Review Rating Details

The communication between the renter and the owner is just non exist. I asked several times about WI-FI which is a must for me - the agency promised me 3 times that there is a WI-FI, well there was not.
The agency promised a well equipped kitchen but there was no cattle, no micro, no coffe machine. I was single. the owner wait for a whole family. I have write a mail to the owner before my visit and got no answer - he does not know one word in english. the appartment is a condominion made of materials that one is hearing everything that goes on in any other apartment in volumes that made me crasy.
Not worth the moeny and not recomended for modern turists

[counter comment from the owner, English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] Avevamo venduto l'appartamento senza collegamento WIFI ma con pennetta internet; la cliente assai pretenziosa attempata e poco disponibile, forse per scarse conoscenze di software non sapeva utilizzarla anche dopo ampie spiegazioni, che se ne dica aveva a sua disposizione una hostess che costantemente in inglese forniva chiarimenti .
L'appartamento finemente rifinito è munito d ogni confort, certamente non potevamo riempire il frigorifero in quanto la ristorazione non è nella ns. offerta e inoltre la caffettiera c'è bisogna solo saperla usare.

The apartment has no WIFI but an internet USB key (as we write on the website) but this guest was very pretentious and unhelpful and perhaps due to the lack of knowledge of software, she could not use it even after extensive explanations, even though she had at his disposal a hostess who constantly (in English) provided clarification.
The finely finished apartment is equipped with every comfort. We certainly could not fill the refrigerator because the restaurant is not in our offer. There is a coffee maker, you just have to know how to use it.

Goed en vriendelijk ontvangst door eigenaresse (zelfs met zelf gebakken koekjes en een fles plaatselijke wijn!).

Huisje zelf is ruim van opzet en laat eigenlijk weinig te wensen over. Het terras is groot. Op zich is dit een prive terras. Maar dat kwam met name omdat zwembad nog gesloten was in april. Als zwembad open is zit je hier niet prive omdat het een gedeeld zwembad is. De huurders ''beneden" maken dan ook gebruik van een deel van het terras. Dat zou ik als een groot nadeel ervaren (zeker als je een gezin met jonge kinderen treft).

De omgeving is echt prachtig! Montespertoli ligt ook erg centraal voor diverse dagtripjes (tip: Lucca!). Ook zijn er diverse (eenvoudige) restaurantjes te vinden in de nabije omgeving waar je voor 40 euro 3 gangen eet met wijn voor 2 personen.

Minpunten: bed erg slecht! klein en oncomfortabel (ik lag met mijn 1.90 met voeten uit bed). Ook was bijna iedere nacht de blaffende van de Italiaanse overbuurman te horen, waardoor we regelmatig wakker lagen.

Je moet wel goed weer hebben, want met slecht weer is het wat lastiger om de dagen te vullen.

Maar over het algemeen een aanrader (maar denk aan de genoemde minpunten).

A beautiful location with great views over the Tuscan countryside towards San Gimignano. The owner and his family were very welcoming and did everything to make our holiday enjoyable. One or two aspects of the property need renewing/updating but I understand that these are to be undertaken soon.
