This villa is located on nearly perfect spot in middle of Toscana. Just 4 km of small forest road from autostrada Siena-Firenze hidden in Toscana hills. If you count on everyday use of pool, be aware that only 4 apartments are near pool, and others are few minutes away.

If you wan't to spare some money on food, there is excelent market (Coop) in Poggibonsi just (4km away).

We really liked our genuine Tuscan villa and the property is quite spectacular,situated on a vineyard. Our villa was very spacious with two bedrooms , lots of living space, nicely furnished and with up-dated bathrooms. Biggest negative is the lack of air-condtioning . It was very hot during our stay and fans provided were not able to cool the villa enough for comfortable sleeping. Unfortunately, the windows do not have screens so opening them let the bugs invade.
We enjoyed the beautiful pool and even played bocci.
Patrick, the property manager is terrific - very knowledgeable about the area.
The location of the villa is ideal for day trips to all the wonderful hill towns in Tuscany and yet close enough to Florence and Siena.

The appartement was great. Very clean and the owners are very helpfull and nice people. Our stay was very comfortable and we could visit Florence and Siena very good. From the appartement we could see Florence and it's great buildings. The swimmingpool was very clean and a great place to relax and cool ourselves. This is definately not the last time we'll be there and well worth the 1300+ km trip, even for a week. We completely enjoyed our stay and the quiteness around the appartement!

Fantastic holiday. Bibbiano exceeded our expectations. Great spot on its own in a secluded walled garden next to the main vineyard farm house with wonderful views. The directions were spot on and it took only 10 minutes from the Autostrada. Guilia in the vineyard office was there to welcome us, along with a couple of bottles of the house Chianti and helpful in every respect. No problem accessing the property with a normal car. The pool was huge with lots of shade. Italy does suffer from wasps at this time of the year. There are 2 friendly hounds at the property (we like very big dogs).

The house was generally very well equipped and the air conditioning in the 2 bedrooms a real blessing. Very spacious and characterful. Unfortunately it took 5 days for any of us to work out how the oven works. So we took to bbqing in the open ingelnook. A couple of the rooms were very dark at night. A few more lamps would have been appreciated. For a house with a great pool its a pity there were no plastic cups.

There was a DVD player and Sky, however no internet access.

The location was perfect for central Tuscany with a score of major attractions in very close proximity. Monteriggione was a real gem and only 10 minutes away. The supermarket (Coop) is also just 10 minutes away, however shopping in the local markets is also easy.

We drove down fom Milan which took 4 hours. Generally very good road, Autostrada all the way. Beware of the suicidal drivers !!

Overall close to perfect !! Trevor, Wiltshire

Alliso is a beautiful villa-large bright rooms delightfully furnished with lots of attention to detail.The situation of the villa is peaceful with no worries regarding the noise levels created by energetic children.It is however close to a very charming Italian town of Camaiore. I would certainly recommend it to anyone.
