We stayed a week at Villa Celeste in August 2016 when it was very hot. We were an extended family group of 12 and the villa was perfect for us. The accommodation is very flexible, with plenty of private space if you need it, though we only used one of the kitchens and ate outside all week. We kept the interior cool with the shutters closed which meant it was a little dark, but we were outside most of the time so it didn't matter. The beds are comfortable and the linen good. There are towels provided, but you need to bring your own pool towels. The bathrooms are modern and all but one have a full size shower. The kitchen is well equipped although you have to hunt through many cupboards to find everything. It is the exterior that is the true star of this villa. The pool area is fantastic with plenty of seating, tables and shade for everyone. The pictures are little out of date, the trees are bigger now and offer great shade over the table for wonderful mealtimes together. We used the pizza oven and had a great night. The owners are very friendly and welcoming and are close by if you need any help. We visited Cortona, which is above on the hillside, Perugia, Montepulciano and other lovely towns within a 45 minute drive. We did also walk to Camucia on market day, the main road is a bit busy, but mostly has a pavement alongside. It would have been helpful to have a folder of local information in the villa. There was one with a booklet about wine and cheese tasting, so it's best to do your research before you go and there is WiFi in the property. All of us thought it was a fabulous place to stay and would go back again.

We loved the property. It captures what Tuscany is: beautiful nature of the vineyards. The pool and grounds were perfectly kept. Our room was quaint and it was quiet there. The hostess was so sweet and welcoming. It was a wonderful, relaxing stay.

The unit was not easy to cook in as there was no real work surface and the world's smallest chopping board. There were lots of ants and many cockroaches.
