we found Villa Elisa very accomendating for our family of 9, It was a great location and easy access to the train in Camucia and to Cortona.There were a few small issues, ie american coffee pot was not so good,a few times the hot water would come and go,and the past thru bedroom was difficult.but the gardens, pool and outdoor eating was awesome!!!,we loved drinking our morning coffee outside. one night we fixed an italian style dinner and ate on the big outdoor table. The owner did not speak any english so it was a bit of a challenge when we checked in,however in looking back thats what made our vacation so wonderful. new and different surroundings, kind people, great food and wine. We would definitely recommend this property to others. Cindy L, Atanta, Georgia

We had the pleausure of spending a week at Villa Scaletta earlier this month (May 2011). It was wonderful to be surrounded by beautiful anitiques in spacious clean rooms. The sitting area with the great view made our mornings a treat and the lovely Italian kitchen made meal preparation a breeze. We would truly recomend this property to others.

We celebrated my retirement and 60th birthday in this beautiful villa with our children and grandchild. We had a marvellous time and I would recommend it without hesitation.The location is beautiful and peaceful, yet close to restaurants and sights. The owners live next door, but were only seen if we had a query.The pool is lovely and everything is provided for. The layout of the rooms allowed privacy . The bathrooms are of a high standard

Die Ferienwohnung war absolut OK. Fur unsere Begriffe ein sehr gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Die Einrichtungs war praktsich, wenn auch nicht ganz neu.
Die Gegend war für unseren Urlaubszweck "Wandern" gut geeignet. Es gibt eine gute Auswahl anspruchsvoller Wanderungen. Die Anfahrt dauert z.T. bis zu 50 Minuten.
[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] The apartment was absolutely OK. For our terms a very good price-performance ratio. The furnishings were practical, albeit not entirely new.
The area was suitable for the purpose of our holiday: "hiking". There is a good choice of hikes. The journey will take up to 50 minutes.

This was a peaceful, lovely place to stay, beautiful views, easy drive into Cortona, and a good jumping off place for just about anywhere in Tuscany. Elena was a great hostess, she was always there to help with anything that came up. She even got in her car and came and found us when we were lost trying to find the place on arrival. The villa was quite rustic, but comfortable and charming. There was a great outdoor stone terrace to enjoy the views and the peaceful sounds of the cuckoos,and really charming grounds to stroll around. The only drawback was that the kitchen could use some modernizing and organization; however, unless you really wanted to cook, this was no problem, it was adequate for our needs. The bathroom was good; a good shower. I would rent this villa again.

This location was a very good base to visit popular sites of Tuscany like Sienna, Arezzo, Montepulciano, Florence, San Gimignano, Cortona. Montevarchi. There was a very good restaurant within walking distance with great food and wines at a reasonable price, The Cantine. The villa was comfortable but the living quarters were on the small side for five. We found the stairway to the second floor somewhat dangerous for a child. We had a great stay.

This was our second visit to this property. A visitor gets an authentic experience in the Tuscan countryside. The trip there ends with a narrow dirt road. You overlook the valley of the Farma creek covered with dense vegetation. The view is breathtaking and the atmosphere peaceful. The gardens are beautiful.
The house itself is old and charming. It's also very clean. Please note there is no washing machine, so you have to travel about 40 minutes to Rosia to find a laundry. There is none in Monticiano. The nearby town of Iesa has a terrific restaurant, l'Aia di Gino. We dined there five times in a week.
We took day trips to the San Galgano monastery, Montalcino, Massa Maritima and Lake Bolsena.
Adriana Chiantini, the owner, is a lovely lady who cares about her renters. It was good to see her again.
