Review Details:
I loved this villa! Molino Santa Lucia is very private & rustic in a good way. It does not have a view but is quite lovely just the same. The long gravel road to get to it is challenging but it was worth it. Being so close to San Gimignano is a plus & we drove to surrounding towns every day as well as started our trip in Venice. I think the value on this villa is excellent & it will sleep 7 easily plus three children. We had two couples with tons of room. The cook we had for two nights, Lorena, is just lovely & the food was delicious. Her husband Paolo was wonderful, too. When we arrived late on saturday evening, she had the house open, lights on & an aromatic Tuscan meal with wines prepared for us. What a way to end a long day of driving & start a vacation in the Tuscan countryside. They were so great to work with & it was nice to have a local couple to contact in case of any need. The villa has everything you would need except a coffee maker! That needs to be remedied! We made some sort of instant coffee every morning! Not the good Italian coffee we planned on! The only negative I can think of is this villa does not have a bathroom downstairs! Other than that, really a fun time for us. Annie L., Charlotte, NC

We are a group of 7 family and friends who travel to together and this was our first trip to Italy. We spent a lot of time online searching for the perfect villa for 3 couples and 1 single...it had to be private, have a great kitchen, a comfortable outdoor dining area, be centrally located, have a pool and a view. Borgo Toscano did not disppoint. The villa itself is exquisite. It's very new yet feels entirely authentic. Every detail has been attended to. The pool area was lovely with chairs for lounging...we would start most evenings here. The well stocked commercial kitchen was a dream come true for our resident gourmet 'chef' who prepared fabulous meals every evening from food gathered in local markets or supermarkets. The outdoor 'loggia' with two large tables, wood fire pit/bbq and a view of the hills was where we enjoyed every meal. Each of the four bedrooms in the main house are very private and separate from the others. Two of the larger bedrooms had a separate sitting area. If we had one complaint it would be that there is not much in the immediate surrounding area of interest. The closest town of Pistoia has a large supermarket but not much else. However, day trips to Lucca, Florence and Cinque Terre are very doable from the villa. It was an outstanding experience for us all.

Villa Margherita was great - especially the pool. Nice and quiet and out of the way. I would suggest that the owners put a map to the nearest train station, Sant'ellero and a timetable for the trains.
Also reccommend the local attractions esp the monastary nearby - beautiful.

Review Details:
We had a wonderful stay at San Donnino. One of the best parts about it was the owner. He speaks excellent English and is very happy to provide information about life in Tuscany. Often when travelling you can feel that you don't understand what makes a place "tick" but being able to talk to the owner over a glass of wine gave us a great insight into this area of Italy.
The property itself was very clean and spacious and the grounds and pool lovely and well cared for. The location is close to Siena and does require you to hop in the car anytime you want to go out.
The property's house wine was great and very inexpensive.
The only negative was that the apartment was supposed to have wifi but in reality, the only way you could get wifi was to either sit in the toilet which was the closest place to the router or to sit in the little alcove outside of where the main computer is situated. Given that my husband had to work whilst we were away, this was a bit of an inconvenience.
