We hebben een prima verblijf gehad in de "Podere Il Doccio". Samen met een andere familie hebben we kunnen genieten van het mooie zwembad en dito omgeving. De huisjes waren heel gerieflijk en verzorgd.
De streek is, zoals genoeg bekend, prachtig: In Firenze was het weliswaar over de koppen lopen, maar Siena, Pisa, Lucca en andere steden waren "doenbaar". Ook culinair was het een topper met een wijnproef en leuke restaurantjes in de buurt.
Een echte aanrader voor iedereen die op zoek is naar rust, cultuur en een prachtige omgeving.

[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] We had a great stay at the "Podere Il Doccio". Together with another family we enjoyed the beautiful pool and area. The cottages were very comfortable and cared for.
The region is as well known enough, beautiful: In Florence it was crowded, but Siena, Pisa, Lucca and other towns were "doable". Also, it was a culinary excellence with a wine tasting and nice restaurants nearby.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for peace, culture and beautiful scenery.

What an amazing place. Everything about Villa Il Nido was fantastic - including the wonderful hospitality shown to us by Paolo and his family. It is hard to put into words the extent at which this property met all our needs. The pool is gorgeous and not too cold, the bedrooms are very comfortable and lovely and cool in the heat. The kitchen and dining area are extremely well equipped and the views are breathtaking. Thank you Maria Christina for the beautiful fresh vegetables - your generosity and hospitality were appreciated and without any intrusion at all to our . Thank you - we will be back.

We stayed at this lovely agritourismo in July 2011 for one week with our 7 and 10 year old sons. Our boys enjoyed the pool and the run of the area. There were other families also staying at Le vasche which provided our boys with some much needed playmates.

It provided a good location for visiting Florence and the smaller villages in Tuscany. There are also lots of places to pick of groceries and other nearby.

The pool was especially wonderful and Maria Theresa, the owner of the farm and the person who deals with the guests, was lovely.

Carmine & Ana - Bloomfield, NJ. We just returned from a week at Villa Roncovisi. We were a group of 5 families. Total 19 people. We had an AWESOME time. The owners were very attentive and available for any questions or concerns. There was an air conditioner issue and it was resolved promptly. So, we didnt have to sleep in the heat. Temperatures rose to over 90 degrees F. that week, but at night the temp. was wonderful. The villa was absolutely beautiful, the antiques and furniture makes it very warm and inviting. The bathrooms were modern and clean, which is important. Who wants to hold the shower handle when washing yourself. The pool was fabulous, we literally hanged outside from morning till night. The grounds are beautiful. Also, the villa is conveniently located, you can easily visit, Florence, Pisa, Lucca and even Bologna. Bottom line, this was the best villa so far. This is our 3rd time renting villas in Italy, once in Ischia and twice in Tuscany. I Would recommend Villa Roncovisi 100%. Kudos to Ann & Alessandro for a beautiful villa.

This is a great villa with overwhelming views of San Gimignano and the countryside. The photos don't do it justice. The bedrooms were spacious and the living and dining area was great for the 8 of us. One of the couples renewed their vows under the outside pergola which was perfect. Barbara was a gracious host and was most helpful with directing us to grocery stores, restaurants and wineries. The house had everything you need. The American coffee pot was VERY slow but we had learned to use a French press by the time we arrived in Tuscany. Barbara also provided us with a hair dryer as we learned American hair dryers just don't work in Italy. Would love to stay here again. Just a wonderful place to stay.
