We have rented villas in Tuscany in the past, however Villa Carolina surpassed all of our expectations. All of the amenities both inside and out were fantastic. Gabriel and Lucia the owners lived on site and were so helpful to us to keep us informed of various activities in the area (markets, wine festivals etc.)
be sure to ask Lucia to cook a Tuscan meal for you. It was a beautiful 5 course meal, served to us outdoors, overlooking the valley of vineyards and olive groves. we enjoyed it so much we asked for a second meal 4 days later. This is truly a memorable visit for us and would highly recommend it.

I was one of 5 women that rented out Torre Del Cielo this May. The house was lovely and the landscape and views were magnificent. Durng our stay we had many special needs such as renting road bikes, train schedules, seeing the Giro tour and questions regarding the small towns around Tuscany. Rosado, the owner was more than generous with his time and knowledge of the area. He also made us two meals and took us on a lovely tour of an out of the way monastery that turned out to be one of the many highlights of our trip. I urge anyone considering renting a house in Tuscany to rent Torre Del Cielo. It was a wonderful vacation because we stayed there.

We thoroughly enjoyed "Borgo". The apartment we had was wonderful, well equipped, with wonderful herbs outside the door, a beautiful site with great views in the hills above the Arno valley, and the people there, especially Olaf and Beate, were wonderful, generous, funny, multi-lingual, and so helpful. Get them to bake one of their special breads for you: You will understand what heaven is all about. It is easy to get to from Florence via the autostrada although it is located a little off the beaten path for the Chianti Clasico area. So it might not be the choice for one's first ever visit to Tuscana. But for a second or later visit it gives the opportunity to see and appreciate a different side of this wonderful region while yet being close to the traditional centers. Of course, no place is perfect: Our one recommendation for improvement would be the internet connections. If you, like us, need frequent and on-demand internet even while on vacation, Borgo is a bit challenging. One has to leave the apartment and go to the main house. Late at night that can be a bit tedious. But this was a small price to pay for a wonderful "home" in Tuscana.
