Me and my family had such a great time in the house. The location is great for people who want to explore Florence,Siena, and the other wonderful small towns in the area. The house is situated in a lovely, peaceful place, which lets you appreciate the dolce vita of Italians.In addition, the house had everything we needed and much more, gave us the impression of what a real Tuscan house needs to be.
The owner was great, helped in every arising question, and gave us a true feeling of home.
We are sure to visit this lovely part of Italy, and particularly Casa Benedetta.

The property was even nicer than the online photos made it appear. It was very well maintained and the atmosphere was relaxed. Even though all of the villas were rented while we were there, we never felt that the place was crowded. The owners were very friendly and accommodating. It was a very peacful place to go. If your trip to Tuscany is specifically to visit several of the wineries of the Chianti Classico region, this villa may be a little too far away (30 - 45 minutes by car from most of them). If your trip is just to visit Tuscany in general with one or two trips to the wineries, the location is excellent.

The villa is beautiful. Deiter, the owner is a treasure. Villa Bertagni is in a beautiful part of Italy. It was great to explore a different direction each day and Deiter was the best tour guide. Please note instructions to stop at the store on the way in the first time. Make your purchases including toilet paper, shower supplies, etc. to get you settled in.

The house is wonderful, the swimming pool is a dream and always prepared perfectly.
We have three comments:
- the description of the way should be changed. The house isn't
named "casa gabriella" at the gate.
- the mosquitos got on our nerves, depending on daytime
- the garden is not for single-use. Every afternoon there is a man
looking after his garden. Therefore he has to walk nearby the pool
and he did it several times a day. Sometimes he met visitors in
his part of the garden.
