Renter Rating: 5/5.

Everything about the place was perfect. Great views, great lawn, great indoor space, even greater hosts Gabriele and Lucia (whose cooking is better than 5 star restaurants). If forced to complain about something, I can only say we couldn't swim because the water was too cold in the pool. Granted the weather was cool. I would score it a 10 out of 10 though since I'm not a big swimmer anyway.

We spent 6 wonderful days in Tuscany staying at Il Pigionale. It was just what we had hoped it would be! It is in a small little village with just what you need, a small grocery with meats, cheeses, and wines, a little fruit and vegetable store, a church (which I think everyone in the village attended Sunday), a bakery,
and two bars where you get your morning coffee and roll! ( All within walking distance)!The people in the village all knew we were visitors and were very welcoming to us! We felt like we were a part of the village! The young brother and sister that manage it
are precious and we feel in love with them! One of
our favorite experiences of the whole trip was our cooking lesson and dinner at their home. We were apart of cooking a wonderful Tuscan dinner including Tiramisu!!!! They are a lovely family and the evening was delightful!!
The house was perfect for two couples with a bedroom downstairs and two upstairs. We both had our own bathrooms!
It is centrally located for day trips to Arezzo, Florence, Siena, Assisi, etc.
Thank you Irene and Edourdo for all of your suggestions, kindness , and especially allowing us us to experience authentic Tuscan life!!!!

I wish there was a rating even higher than excellent to give! Villa Fabroni was beautiful, the owners were the best, and the countryside was spectacular. If you go, be sure to schedule some dinners at the castle itself. The owner is a great cook and even gives cooking lessons! The cooking lesson was the highlight of our trip and the best food we had. You can also make day trips to Florence, Sienna, San Gimignano, Lucca and Cinque Terre. Te furthest is only a 3 hour drive away!

Renter: Paul Koster K. (, Nederland).

Renter Rating: 3/5.

Goed en vriendelijk ontvangst door eigenaresse (zelfs met zelf gebakken koekjes en een fles plaatselijke wijn!).

Huisje zelf is ruim van opzet en laat eigenlijk weinig te wensen over. Het terras is groot. Op zich is dit een prive terras. Maar dat kwam met name omdat zwembad nog gesloten was in april. Als zwembad open is zit je hier niet prive omdat het een gedeeld zwembad is. De huurders ''beneden" maken dan ook gebruik van een deel van het terras. Dat zou ik als een groot nadeel ervaren (zeker als je een gezin met jonge kinderen treft).

De omgeving is echt prachtig! Montespertoli ligt ook erg centraal voor diverse dagtripjes (tip: Lucca!). Ook zijn er diverse (eenvoudige) restaurantjes te vinden in de nabije omgeving waar je voor 40 euro 3 gangen eet met wijn voor 2 personen.

Minpunten: bed erg slecht! klein en oncomfortabel (ik lag met mijn 1.90 met voeten uit bed). Ook was bijna iedere nacht de blaffende van de Italiaanse overbuurman te horen, waardoor we regelmatig wakker lagen.

Je moet wel goed weer hebben, want met slecht weer is het wat lastiger om de dagen te vullen.

Maar over het algemeen een aanrader (maar denk aan de genoemde minpunten).
