We loved Casina, fantastic setting in the hills, quiet and quaint, beautiful pool and Jasmine arbour, fragrance drifting across the pool was divine. The sky at night was amazing without any light pollution and all of the family enjoyed their time at Casina. Would highly recommend this little gem.

To celebrate a special birthday a group of four of us stayed in Casa Allioni for a week. It was everything we hoped for. The villa itself is both spacious and homely. There are a number of good outdoor spaces with great views to relax and unwind. The pool is fantastic, big enough for all of us to enjoy, in privacy. The village is nearby at the bottom of the hill, there is a small grocery shop adjacent to a restaurant; on most days it’s open from 8am to 12.30, then 4.30 to 7pm. The owner of the villa, Beverly, is very friendly and helped us out when we had any questions. As it’s the countryside, do come prepared for...

We really enjoyed or stay in Villa Cuculo, a most attractive and interesting villa set in spectacular landscape. The accommodation suited us perfectly with four bedrooms all ensuite and the open plan living, dining and kitchen area was large and ideal for us to enjoy, dining by candlelight each evening. We also enjoyed very much the pool and surrounding poolside amenities. We visited Sienna, Arezzo and market day in Monte San Savino and enjoyed a birthday lunch for my daughter in a great restaurant in Gargonza when visiting the spectacular medieval Castello di Gargonza. We hired two cars which worked well for six adults, allowing us to travel comfortably and worked well. I would certainly recommend Villa Cuculo and congratulate...

thank you so much for recommending this beautiful villa to us. We could not be happier. Beverly is the perfect hostess, and the pics do not do the place justice. thank you so much for recommending this beautiful villa to us. We could not be happier.

From I.D. from Germany, guests August 2018

We had a very lovely stay at Montisina - Ann Alexander was a very considerate and extremely friendly landlady. The house is beautiful, the view onto the hills and Castelmuzio breathtaking and the the village functions extremely well. It was an ideal base for excursions to the many highlights of this region and a calm and comfortable place to relax. My husband particularly enjoyed biking in the surroundings following the trails of the Eroica as well as truffle hunting with Nico and I appreciated the very decent restaurants in Montisi, the wonderfully equipped store next to our house and strolling with the dogs around the narrow streets of the village, especially at night when the village is lit up and...

From M.N. from NY, USA, guests August 2018

We had a lovely vacation at the villa. It was everything and more than we could have hoped for. Our only regret was that we were not able to stay longer to explore all of the property and to enjoy every sitting area multiple times. As interior designers, we really appreciated the collected feeling of the home; a place where years of love and travel have layered the rooms. The photos did not do the villa justice! The bedrooms in the main house are comfortable and cozy. Our kids loved having their special twin bedrooms in which they could plot their pirates or gladiators fantasies underneath the ethereal netting. Many hours of imagination play or scavenger hunts were enjoyed. And... We had a lovely vacation at the villa. It was everything and more than we could have hoped for.

From J.P., guests August 2018

Thank you very much for our lovely holiday at Cerrito this August. Extremely elegant, extremely relaxing. From the advice on local wild swimming from Daniel, on horse riding from you, and on a concert in Sienna from Simone, the contact we had with you and your team was warm, welcoming and helpful. The bottle of wine and prepared dinner on arrival were extremely welcome, after a very long drive to arrive. The house itself was just right for our party of eight, with enough room for children’s and adults’ spaces, and wonderful dinners in and outside. We spent a great deal of our time by the pool, talking or reading, but when we went out the surrounding countryside and churches... Thank you very much for our lovely holiday at Cerrito this August.

We had an absolutely lovely time at Castelonchio. Barry and Karen our hosts greeted us most warmly and invited us to coffee the morning after our arrival to tell us more about the fascinating area around Lake Trasimeno. Our little grandchildren ran to the pool in their bathing costumes before we had even unpacked the cars and from then on it was the pool or nothing for them so it was with difficulty that we explored the endlessly intriguing small towns around the Lake. The immediate area is fascinating and the property is well within reach of the more major towns of Siena and Florence, Perugia and Arezzo - that is if the children will leave the pool and the...

What a wonderfully relaxing holiday we had at Ponte Romano. Nestled at the bottom of the valley below the walls of the town of Fivizzano proved a great location from which we spent a very relaxing fortnight. The house had everything we needed and Brian provided us with some great information about the town which enabled us to make the most of our time there. The walk up the hill to the town kept us all fit. The Agritourismo up in the hills outside Fivizzano – Al Vecchio Tino - near Monzone was the best meal we had and again recommended by Brian. The amazing views were worth the drive up. We loved the gelataria on the main square and... What a wonderfully relaxing holiday we had at Ponte Romano.

Firstly, we had a brilliant time (except for Ryanair, not your responsibility!). The service you provided was superb. I have never come across so helpful a company, with such quick responses. Excellent! The web description of the apartments was completely accurate. The view is just spectacular. Only a couple of very minor points: you need to be fit or an energetic child to walk up to the village! And, in your written details, it might be worth stressing the value of stocking up on food at a supermarket before arrival. The Coop at Poggibonsi Sud was excellent but quite a trek once we we in Radicondoli. Are there supermarkets and/or/ markets and butchers nearer? I think I saw a butchers...

From S.G. family, guests August 2018

Our stay at Lucumone was a great success! the location, the house, the pool, all were wonderful. All the linen and towels were of very good quality. If there was something missing, it was ice! The fridge ice dispenser was not working and the few ice “trays” available were so small and few that only one or two of us could have ice in our drinks! ICE is very important when holidaying in summer! So many great restaurants nearby, the Osteria and the Bar Ucci in Volpaia, and many others including our favourite, il Ristoro di Lamole near Greve. We also much appreciated the Winery at the Castle of Albola which was perfect for lunch! We had daily thunderstorms in...

We had a lovely holiday, really, really lovely. The villa was wonderful, we all loved it. Beautiful mix of old and newer bits of furniture. Very comfortable in every way. There were loads of zones so people could feel that had space if they wanted some quiet time. The care package left for us was just the best and so hugely appreciated. We ate in most nights as we love to cook and the kitchen was a dream. Not sure where it is that you mention us having to pay a people tax once we arrived. Must have missed that. Think this might need to be a little clearer. We hadn't come across this before. We had a lovely holiday, really, really lovely. The villa was wonderful, we all loved it.

We had a fabulous time at Castelonchio. The villa was immaculate & had everything you could possible wish. Sitting outside on the patio with a glass of local wine & looking at the views was beautifully relaxing & the children in particular, loved the fabulous pool. Barry & Karen were great hosts & recommended places of interest and were incredibly helpful researching how we could do a park/ride to Rome on our last day. We had beautiful day trips to Siena, Orvieto, Gubbio & San Gimignano as well as a very enjoyable boat trip out to one of the islands in Lake Trasimeno. All in all, it was a fantastic week & we hope to visit Barry & Karen's beautiful... We had a fabulous time at Castelonchio. The villa was immaculate & had everything you could possible wish.

We had a wonderful family holiday at Dimora - all three generations enjoyed the spacious, comfortable accommodation, the excellent swimming pool and grounds and, of course, the enticing seating areas outside overlooking the view and stunning sunsets. We were made very welcome at the Osteria L'Antica Quercia in Sant' Appiana, and enjoyed good food on their large terrace overlooking the hills. The Coop in Barbarino was fine for the everyday bits and the supermarket in Poggibonsi catered for everything else. The house was in a good position to revisit Florence, Siena and San Gimignano and also to discover Monteriggioni with its ramparts, the old town of Certado and an entertaining evening meat festival in Tavernelle. However, it was also marvellous...

Thank you for your postcard with the lovely painting of Tellaro! We had a good week at Tramonto, and enjoyed meeting Giovanni who was always kind and helpful. The apartment was just as described and we spent a fair amount of time inside and on the balcony, it being so hot. Some thoughts that you might want to add: Travelling to La Spezia by train from the UK with a stop over in Geneva on the way there and Turin in the way back, was a nice way to go. Catching a bus from La Spezia to Lerici was easy, and Giovanni met us in Lerici. The bus stop is right outside Tramonto and is very frequent from early morning...
