5 ^/5 Excellent   Villa Review Rating Details   Share

The villa was beautiful, it has been wonderfully redone and it is quite comfortable. We still had our doubts from some of the pictures on the site but everything was as nice as it was described (or better!). The location of the villa is great as it feels quite peaceful and secluded but it is just a short drive away from the nearest town and provides easy access to Florence, Siena, Arezzo, San Gimigiano... we had a wonderful stay and would definitely return!

Our group of 13 had a wonderful stay at the villa. My personal highlights were the cooking lesson and the hot tub which was always ready to hop into. The villa was very tastefully decorated and comfortable. Sitting on the terrace in the evenings was also very enjoyable. The location was very tranquil and the owners of the villa were very approachable and friendly.

Rented both units (La Mura #1 & #2) for two weeks and was very satisfied with the accommodations and the hospitality of the owners. Very convenient to the village of San Gimignano (walking or driving) and yet very quiet and peaceful. Roberta speaks good English to help with your questions and Mama & Papa are quite dedicated to you enjoying yourself , even if though they do't speak English. Both units were clean and comfortable. Would recommend to any one who doesn't need a 5 Star hotel and enjoys the people as part of enjoying the culture.

Villa Il Nido is a lovely villa that you and your family will enjoy. It is a very modern, clean 3-bed/3-bath unit that can easily accommodate 6-8 people comfortably. There is a fully contained kitchen to cook a few meals on those days when relaxing between trips to our towns/regions. The villa is in the Alpinnes Mountain and is within walking distance to the town of Castel Garafagnana. There is a lovely swimming fountain, green grass to walk/lay and enjoy, and the hosts are very warm and friendlyly. Pablo and his wife are very sweet and add to the appeal of Villa Il Nido. They have a very nice garden and may bring over fresh vegtables for one of those "home" cook meal days.
My family and I truly enjoyed the villa.

The place was beautiful and the views were spectacular.......the owner's family sent us a homemade raspberry torte on our arrival and TIARA MI SU to end our visit....both of which were DELICIOUS!!! Owner answered all of our questions and concerns promptly. One minor problem, which hopefully will be easily resolved, is that we were to meet the owner at 6:00 a.m. on the day of our departure to receive our security deposit back. We waited until 6:15 and then had to leave for the airport without taking care of this. Can you provide me with an E-Mail address for him so I can contact him. Would definitely recommend the place for a relaxing and memorable trip!

Would not recommend. Property is poorly equipped and in poor repair. Even the views are obscured by overgrowth of trimmable trees. NOT good value for money.

Everything was perfect during our stay at Bigattiera Villa.
Our 10-y.o. daughter was happy with big and clean swimming-pool.
As we are fond of travelling - we were very happy with it's central location: approx. the same distance between Firenze, Lucca, Sienna, Pisa and numerous see-resorts.
Thank you very much,

The Villa Fabbroni exceeded all of our expectations. Stefano and Sergio are fabulous hosts and chefs--the food we enjoyed in the wonderfully warm and inviting restaurant there was the best we had in all of Italy--and everything about the place (the hosts, the accommodations, the setting, the view, fellow guests, and more) was exceptional. We stayed in the Padronale unit, which is enormous and wonderfully outfitted with impressive antiques and every modern amenity one could ask for. I can't say enough about the hospitality of Stefano and Sergio, who are so welcoming and accommodating, particularly to families with young children (ours are 6 and 3). We met several other families there, all of whom felt the same way we did about our hosts. What a wonderful vacation. I hope to return to the villa sometime soon! --Angela S., Baltimore, MD

We just couldn't fault this little Tuscan gem! The property was well equipped and the view from the garden over San Gimignano was just amazing! Well located for visits to places such as Volterra, Florence, Monteriggione and Siena. We didn't want to leave! Patricia W. - Newcastle upon Tyne, UK.
