Als wir in dieser Unterkunft ankamen war alles einfach nur traumhaft schön.
Super nette Betreuung durch den Chef und seine Frau und das ganze Anwesen war ein Traum, ein italienischer Traum!
Die Zimmer sind sehr geschmackvoll eingericht. Das Anwesen liegt ganz abseits von jedem Verkehrslärm o.ä. Man hört nur die Vögel zwitschern und sonst nichts.
Im nahen Ort 10 Min. zu Fuß kann man sehr gut essen. Für Unternehmungen muss man aber jeweils etwas Anreise einplanen.
Die Gegend ist ansonsten sehr abwechslungsreich (Felder, Wald etc.)
Wir würden sofort und ohne zu überlegen wieder buchen und können das auch jedem der sich für diese Unterkunft interessiert empfehlen.


[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] When we arrived at this apartment everything was simply terrific.
Very nice support by the owner and his wife and the whole place was a dream, an Italian dream!
The rooms are very tastefully decorated. The property is quite apart from any traffic noise, etc . You hear only the birds twittering and nothing else.
In the village nearby (10 minutes walk) you can eat very well. But for activities you have to schedule each time somewhat like a trip.
The area is very diversified though (fields, woods, etc.)
We would book it again immediately and without pondering too long and we can also recommend it to anyone who is interested in this property.

The stay at villa Fabbroni was superb! We enjoyed the wonderful view, the great convenience of the apartment we stayed in, and most of all the great hospitality of the owners. On top of all we enjoyed greatly the wonderful meals at the villa's restaurant. Very recommended. Hope we'll have an opportunity to stay at this villa again.

great place. very central to all of Tuscany sites. will stay there again. internet was free and fast. wish the property or booking manager would have highlighted the fact that you should buy your own food for breakfast 'right away'. between early closing and days off, places to buy things late in the day get few and far between. the staff were very helpful and kind. the restaurant chef was generous with portions and lemoncello.

This was a wonderful property and just perfect for me, my two daughters and their two friends. We rented the 3-bedroom apartment for a week in April and found it to be an excellent central location from which to explore the Chianti region, Florence, Arrezo, Sienna, Pisa and other Tuscan towns. The owner Leonardo is very hospitable and helped us plan some of our daily excursions and recommended good places to dine at the end of the day. The property is set in the mountains and is in a peaceful rural location. We found the space was more than sufficient for our needs as we were really only in the apartment at the end of the day since we were using it as a base camp from which to tour. If you just want to rest in the Tuscan sun and take in the vineyards and olive groves, you could be quite happy staying fixed at Castellaccio and reading by the pool and listening to the birds (I saw lots of wildlife on my morning and evening strolls). There is a lovely pool on the property which would be the perfect start and finish of the day (alas we were there in April and it was not as inviting in the cool mountain air of the evenings). If you are planning to have a car and want to be in a remote setting, this is a great place to hide away in the Tuscan countryside but still be well positioned to travel and see many sights. If you aren't cooking for yourself, you want to be aware that you will have to travel 20 minutes or so in most directions to get to places to eat (we found many good options and didn't mind the driving). We would gladly return to Castellaccio and are very pleased with our experience.
