We had a wonderful time. The house is great, slept 10 very comfortably. Location is perfect, many amazing towns within easy day trip reach. Luca and his wife were very helpful to us. The house was so peaceful and quiet, we were very happy there. Our intention was to spend a vacation with friends and family to celebrate my 60th birthday and it was perfect!

all is available as published. Nice owner who are very helpful & indeed very discrete. 3 large bedrooms with double bed. Nice swimming pool with an astonishing view. 3 terrasses, 1 next to the swimming pool & 1 close to the house. The kitchen-dining room was OK because the weather was nice & we stayed mistly outside, but with bad weather it would be rather small for four. Nicely located: Firenze nearby, San Gimignano & Pisa not too far, we also went to the beach which is about a 1.5h trip.

Gorgeous property, lovely large rustic kitchen, dining room and living room, one very large bedroom with bath, one standard-sized bedroom with bath. The views are stunning, the walk into town is a pleasure via a narrow, gravel road lined with olive trees with views of the surrounding valley. The pool is beautiful and the property overall is very-well maintained. We took the cooking class that was offered which was fabulous. The chef came to our private villa and taught us how to make the most delicious ravioli and biscotti and several other classic dishes. Definitely a highlight of our trip to Italy! Also don't miss the tour of the vineyard and a sit down wine tasting. Loved the little town of Panzano in Chianti as well.

This villa was the last stop on our vacation and it was perfect after the hectic and crowded cities we visited. The owners were wonderful and very helpful. While a nice quiet spot, it was close to hillside village and other interesting places to visit. We also enjoyed using the kitchen to have relaxing meals at "home" rather than always eating out.

This is on a mountaintop not a hill. Figure 20 minutes of twisty hairpin turns to reach the villa. The villa itself is beautiful but if you go then stay put, not conducive for a staging point for sightseeing like we wanted. Also, no water pressure and very little hot water (only if the fireplace was burning). Also, indigenous lifeforms of scorpions were prevalent. We found two in the villa!
