This was an amazing place to stay in the heart of the Chianti region! The grounds are amazing, well maintained, and steeped with character. Our apartment was very spacious and beautifully decorated for the unique ‘Italian Castle’ feel. The views are beautiful from the top of this little mountain, particularly from the pool! We were a group of cyclists and the last few kilometers of the road are gravel, so be prepared to start your morning at the wonderful coffee bar at the bottom of the hill. Also, in town are a grocery store, butcher, and restaurant. Nearby towns host wineries, restaurants, and shopping. However, our stay was particularly spectacular because of our hosts Stefano and Sergio. They were super accommodating and offer bonus features such as daily bread delivery. The Villa Fabbroni also produces its own delicious wine and olive oil. The ‘pièce de résistance’ was the restaurant. The ambience is amazing (arched brick ceilings and stone walls) but the food was incredible. It is all homemade by Stefano, Sergio and their staff. The restaurant is only open on weekends but we loved their food so much we made a special request for additional meals (you can do this if you have 10+). Foodies be warned, these were some of our best meals during our entire stay in Italy. Highly recommended! Thank you!

We spent an interesting week in Tuscany with some definite highs and lows. One of the highs was our accommodation which was spotlessly clean, very comfortable and spacious. Lucia and Gabrielle (the owners) made us feel very welcome. Lucia cooked a wonderful meal for my daughters birthday; which she still talks about. The villa has easy access to a washing machine which was important to us as when we arrived as we had already been travelling for 5 weeks.

The location was fantastic for exploring the wine regions around the countryside and also great for travelling into Florence. I would highly recommend this villa for anyone wanting accommodation in Tuscany. When we return to Tuscany we will definitely be booking Villa Carolina again.

Very well equipped villa. Quiet location for privacy but convenient for day trips. We visited Rome (long day!), Florence, Sienna on one day trips. Lots of room for our party of 10 people. Villa and grounds were well-cared for and the owner was very helpful. All in all, great experience and we would stay again. The only suggestion we have is better directions. The villa is very tough to find with a small sign. A GPS address or co-ordinate would be very helpful. Thankfully the owner was able to meet us to guide owner.
