Tuscany Villa Rental Guest Reviews

Owners Marina and Francisco are delightful and although the tuscun sun was illusive the friendliness and warmth of the towns people and most especially Marina, Francesco and family more than compensated for that.
All five of us, my mother especially, had a remarkable time. My mother 87y/o wants to stay a month next time, we'll see.
Thank you

This was the best holiday of our life thanks in large part to the beautiful Villa Fabbroni, the warm and genuine hospitality of the owners, and the great food they served us!

This property was so lovely, it was even better than the pictures on the web site. We loved staying here, we were lucky there was noone else using the other two apartments so had the whole place to ourselves. This would be a great place to have a special party with a group as there was also a huge room for entertaining only with a kitchen and bathroom. The pool area was wonderful. The views out over the vines was amazing. Loved waking up to sound of the Italian staff working in the winery on the property. Loved the town of Montelcino which was only 4 km away. This property is in a great location handy to visit other towns, Cortona, Bagno Vignoni, Siena etc. Caught the train to Florence but think it took about 2 hours to get there and due to huge crowds didnt have time to queue and see anything but was still great day walking around the city. I would recommend this villa to anyone it was just perfect. Anita - NZ

Very well equipped and well maintained. We were surprised at the extensiveness of the kitchen and dishware as well as the quality of the bathrooms. Comfortable beds, lots of storage, good sized rooms.

Great proximity to Siena (20 minutes), Florence and the entire wine region. Only ten minutes to a local market and grocery store that was well stocked.

Great walking area with small towns nearby. Close grocery store and a few restaurant options.

Have a local chef come in and cook some night - we did this twice and it was fantastic in terms of quality and experience. Go to the little restaurant at the top of the hill - outstanding food and experience.

Riccardo was an EXCELLENT host. He helped us with restaurant reservations and recommendations, hooked us up with a chef to come in and cook for us.

Once again we had a wonderful two week holiday at Il Doccio. This is now the third two week holiday we have had at this beautiful place over the past five years. Marina, Francesco and family made us most welcome and despite the fact we have now visited three times, we have found new places to visit. Francesco has been extremely helpful in advising us of where to go and what to see.

Il Doccio is well placed to visit Sienna, Florence, and Arezzo. We also have had great pleasure walking in the hills and and Frecesco has advised us how to drive high into the hills (several thousand feet) along the white roads. We have walked along the ridges many times and particularly at the cross and communication station. We were amazed to find wild horses and pure white cattle at the summit.The views are amazing.
We really did enjoy the Tuscan cooking lessons run by Marina. It was great to prepare a truely Italian meal for several hours and then enjoy eating it under the stars with with Marina and Francesco. All washed down with red wine produced from their vinyard. The swimming pool at Il Doccio is simply glorious and each time we have visited we went for a swim before breakfast and on returning from visits to the hills and towns.

Francesco, Marina and family are really lovely people and their vinyard at Il Doccio is simply glorious. We have enjoyed every minute of the time we have spent at this beautiful place.

Il Doccio ideally situated for excrsions to Perugia, Siena,Florence, Arezzo and Chianti country. The facilities and owners Francesco, Marina and their family make you feel very welcome and the place has a family feel to it. There is a tranquility about the location which is enhanced by the surroundings. The wine, food, weather and people make this a great setting for a Tuscan Holiday under the sun.

The villa and the holiday was special - everything we wanted and more. The grounds were fantastic and very large. Days by the pool were relaxing. Ideally situated in Tuscany to reach all the sights. No shortage of nearby restaurants.
