Beautiful setting! The villa was not well equipped for immediate occupation. Plan on an immediate trip to the grocery for essentials. Wifi is available but it is a kilometer away at the reception area.
We stayed in Tuscany for three nights and this apartment was ideal for both touring and relaxing. Its right on the edge of a little village so its a only a few minutes walk to the the restaurants (3), pizzeria, bar or gelateria. Plus, the town has a couple very small shops for necessities. The location is ideal for touring as its 30 minutes away from both San Gimignano and Sienna. We also hit up Colle De Val D'Elsa which is a fun little town. The unit itself isn't fancy but has everything you need and the bed in the master bedroom is very comfortable. Another plus was the pool in the back. While we didn't swim, they have a very nice well maintained areas with a hammock and lounge chairs that we used for afternoon reading. The internet is another nice benefit. Finally there is a large parking private parking lot so you don't have to worry about finding street parking.
The only drawback we saw was that it there was some traffic noise during the day since the front of the apartment is adjacent to the small highway that runs through the village. This would only be an issue though if you were hanging out in the living room during the day or if you were trying to sleep in during the morning in the second bedroom which has the two single beds. Since there were only two of us and only used the master bedroom, it didn't affect us at all
Overall, we thought this apartment had the perfect feel for a Tuscany getaway and would recommend it to anyone traveling in the area.

The property was beautiful, & was ideally located just a couple of kilometres from the tourist hustle & bustle of San Gimignano.
Close enough to nip in for a coffee & a croissant for breakfast, but when you wanted some peace & quiet, the villa could have been a thousand miles away, it was so quiet & restful.

Very nice quality house, small kitchen, wish the pool was heated, poor internet. But the view from the terrace was beautiful, located in a small and quiet little village. Not too far from Florence.

The villa was absolutely amazing!!! We arrived and happened to have the whole place to ourselves. We spent two weeks in Italy at a variety of different locations and this was the only place where the pictures on the booking site actually matched the property! What you see is what you get and much more. The outfitting of the units is spectacular with great comfy decor and modern upgrades. The grounds are gorgeous and well kept. You'll want to axe any day plans you've prearranged just to sit poolside and relax with the amazing view. Ms. Lucia is in charge (along with her adorable puppy) and takes very good care of you from beginning to end. The closest supermaket is about 10-15 minutes away in town so you can stock up on snacks, wine, whatever. The town Loro Ciuffenna is super cute and also about 10 minutes away. It's easy to walk around and of course there are a few restaurants you can have lunch and/or dinner at. The next major town for great food is Montevarchi about 20-30 minutes away.
We rented a car as this is the easiest way to get around. Driving isn't difficult at all as long as you have a navigation system and the villa is fairly close to the main highway (A1). My husband and I fully plan on staying here again...hopefully in the near future!

Our famiy had a wonderfull time in Fattoria Di Romngnano . The villa is beautifull , well maintained with plenty of rooms and bathrooms for all 18 of us.Location is great , close to all of Tuscany's main cities and attractions. After some grocery shopping at the near by village of san giustino valdarno, we cooked in the lovely equiped kitchen,and one night had a delicious dinner at the Fattoia's restuarant - great tuscan food and wonderfull atmosphere.
there is a nice swimming pool which the kids loved (despite the rather cold temps..they just couldn't resist the temptation.. ).Ricardo the owner,and Helnia the housekeeper, do everything to make you feel at home ! if your are looking for a place to spend a relaxed family/friends gathering - this is a great location to do so. Hope to visit again ! The Hirschhorn/Koren family, Israel.

A special place. Spacious, bright, well set up with conveniences including a flat screen t.v., with some English channels, A lovely, modern kitchen, 2 full modern baths and decorated with charming antiques and interesting duck decoy collection. Although it was upstairs, we chose the tower bedrooms with arched and round windows with fabulous views of the old city. It felt like staying in a castle. The apartment is on the second floor, which gives views and privacy.
A nice outdoor sitting area - it fit well in the Siena atmosphere. From the villa we were close to Sienna and spent 4 days exploring the "caught in time" city. The duomo was the most beautiful we saw in all of Italy. Then we did a wine tour and 2 days of driving to Tuscan towns - always great food and wine.

Our experience with this vacation property and with its owners was fantastic.
I would not change a single thing.
The property was beautiful, the location perfect and the ambience over the top!
The nearby hill towns offer so much to see and if you want to stay home there's no better place.

Villa Carolina was an outstanding place to spend a vacation. The Villa is large and absolutely spotless. We were a group of six and never felt crowded at all. The grounds and pool area are immaculate and it was so wonderful to enjoy our meals outside overlooking the beautiful scenery.
Gabriele and Lucia were very welcoming and enthusiastically showed us around the Villa. Throughout our stay they brought us little treats--peaches from their tree, peppers--and the meal we had prepared by Lucia was incredible.
The location is great for touring Tuscany by car, and there is a train station in nearby Poggibonsi as well.
We have stayed in numerous villas throughout our travels but Villa Carolina was by far the best! We highly recommend it.
