Perfect Tuscan getaway! Can sightsee or just lay back. Beautifully appointed apartment, only downside is its on second and third floor so access to the private garden area is not as good as a ground floor apartment.

I booked the villa for a family holiday as it was my dad's 60th so a very special occasion. There were 9 of us and we had such an amazing week, the photos of the Villa looked stunning but when we arrived it was even better. The views of the Tuscan hills were almost 360o around the villa incredible and the pool area was idyllic, a perfect place to relax. The directions could have been a little more descriptive but we didn't have any problems finding the villa and it was only 1 hours drive from Pisa airport so a great location.

We were greeted by the owner Mr Roberto and his assistant Letizia who were very welcoming and incredibly helpful. Letizia was always happy to answer any questions via email and make recommendations of places to go and see. We had a problem with the fridge and within an hour they sent someone out to look at it and supply a temporary one.

The villa itself was lovely, the open plan lounge and dining area was huge, I also agree with a previous comment that there is room for another sofa in there as you can't all sit comfortably together. The bedrooms were all well furnished and spacious, we opted to not have the air con on to save some money but it would have been good to have a fan in each of the bedrooms as it did get very hot.

The kitchen was a little small and you definitely couldn't fit 9 of you in there at any onetime, we also found that there was plenty of equipment but not 9 wine glasses or champagne flutes all a bit of a mis match!

Despite very small criticisms these were very minor and we would definitely go back. From reading a previous review we also got a local chef to come in on the night of my dad's 60th which was fantastic, we had a great meal, with a lot of food and alcohol. I would definitely recommend this.

We could have easily spent everyday relaxing by the pool but the the villa is well located to visit areas of Tuscany, so we took the train to Siena and Florence and drove to other towns in the region. The local town of Montaione is very picturesque, it has a reasonable sized supermarket, good restaurants and a great cafe for local coffee and gelateria.

I wish I was still there, good memories!!!

We had a memorable two week vacation at Il Faggetto this August, and would recommend the house to anyone. Phillip, Marta and Terese (the caretaker and family) were helpful and lovely. Zara (the dog) was friendly and adorable. The house itself has been beautifully restored, furnished and cared for. It is spacious, comfortable, and well provisioned. The pool was beautiful. The Tuscan weather was perfect, with sunny warm days and cool evenings. All in all, a great vacation.
