This property was an excellent base for us to do all of our day trips in the Tuscany region. The view and serenity was also a welcome after a long day of sight-seeing and visiting busy areas

Il Mulinaccio was a little hard to find, but worth the effort.
The gated property is stunningly beautiful and the apartments elegantly furnished with antique furniture and amentities. The beds were comfortable enough, and with the sound of the adjacent waterfall just out side we had no trouble drifing off into a deep sleep. There was also a very nice heated pool on the lower level.

We shared the larger apartment with our friends and each room had a nice washroom en suite which made it seem like a hotel except there is of course no maid service.

Vana, the lovely lady who met us at the property didn't speak a word of English but with patience and a lot of hand gesturing we were to able to communicate very well.

There was only one mishap when there was no hot water one morning but with a call to Vana it was fixed pronto.
Overall it was a very nice experience.

It helps to have a cell phone, because there is no pnone service at the property and it's about a mile down twisting roads to get to the town of Loro Ciuffenna.

The website said there was a short path to a nearby town but we couldn't find one so make sure you ask Vana to show you were it is.
The site is heavily forested.

l'endroit est très bien, par contre les frais de 60 euros pour le nettoyage sont exagérés car la propreté laissait à désirer. Les ustensiles étaient pour la plupart sales, et les draps étaient humides car la maison n'avait pas été aéré.

[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] the place is very well, on the contrary the costs of 60 euros for cleaning are exaggerated because the cleanness was poor. The kitchen pots were mostly dirty and the sheets were wet because the house had not been ventilated. Quebec, Canada

My family and I stayed at Casa Lucia last October and we loved it. The views are absolutely incredible, from the house and from the beautiful pool. On a clear day we could see the towers of San Gimignano! The house itself is very comfortable- there are many windows and lots of light, the beds are new, there is plenty of space and the house is very clean. We spent a lot of time just lounging by the pool but it was easy to go into Florence by bus, and we drove to San Gimignano and Siena with no problems.

The owners were extremely friendly and helpful, they gave us some great restaurant recommendations and were always happy to answer our questions. They make olive oil and wine right from their property, make sure to taste some. We highly recommend Casa Lucia, we dream about going back and staying again!

Our month stay at Fonte Vinaglia was PERFECT! The villa as well as the grounds are more beautiful than the web presented. The villa is spotless, and the grounds are too! Our host and hostess were lovely and we enjoyed becoming friends! We will return!

This holiday could not have been more perfect for our family. Nicoletta, the owner, did so much to make this holiday everything for the family. We rented the villa for our small wedding. We originally thought we would hold the wedding at the villa but go to a local restaurant for the dinner. We were fortunate to be able to travel to the area and see the property before everything was set in stone. I thought the property and layout was so much better than I thought it would be, we decided to do all at the villa. The owner, Nicoletta, did everything to make everyday very special. The wedding day was no exception. She set up the hair dresser, photographer, the caterer, flowers, and tended to everyones needs. Nicoletta helped with all the translation and set up daily typical Italian dinners for the rest of the evenings. The layout of the villa is WONDERFUL. Everyone had their own space and bathroom but the best part was the dinner at night. Each group whet their own way throughout the day, but came home to a prepared dinner where we could all share our stories of what we saw and what we did. The location of the villa was also perfect. In the mornings we would walk to the train station, about 1/2 a mile away. In the evenings we would go to Pistoia, about 8 miles away and catch a taxi home. The only complaint we had was the time flew by and we would have wished we rented it for 2 weeks instead of one. The entire experience was 100% better than we thought!

The property itself was great, we loved the beach and the sunsets. Early October there were few restaurants open, and only one where the staff spoke English and made us feel welcome. However we enjoyed exploring the adjacent towns and vineyards.

My family and I truly enjoyed our stay at Villa Del Gallo Nero. The accomodations were very nice and very comfortable. The surrounding area was breathtaking. The nearby villages were small buy lovely. We especially enjoyed our conversations with Mrs. Bencini, whose family owns the vineyard. We would love to come back here.

This is a very authentic Tuscan Villa set on over an acre of land overlooking both Montalcino and the surrounding valley. The grounds are planted with multiple fruit trees and of course olive trees and some grape vines. The house was very well appointed and catered for our party of 7 adults very easily. We arrived in early October 2010 for a weeks stay to be greeted by Monica who showed us through the home.Our days were spent with a casual 5 minute walk into town to have our morning expresso, explore the tiny lane ways and local shops and of course drink lots of Brunello wine. Highly recommend! Sandra,Brisbane,Australia
