The villa itself was interesting to say the least with some quirky furniture (the chairs of which were not particulary comfortable to sit on) The artwork added to the atmosphere! We would have liked to use the pool more but were somewhat deterred by the onslaught of biting bush-flies each time we swam. Don't know if this is a seasonal thing or due to the proximity of the surrounding trees and heavy shrubbery but whatever the reason it made swimming uncomfortable at times.
Kitchen setup is great and although we did not take any cooking lessons from Ricardo we DID get the wood fired Pizza oven cranked up one evening after buying some pizza dough and toppings from the supermarket in Pontesieve. After one failure we were able to produce some very edible wood-fired pizzas. Local restaurants are good for pizzas but only fair to middling for other Italian food. Would not recommend the one close to the station at S. Ellero. Our only advice to Ricardo would be to install some ceiling fans. Generally speaking we had a great ten day holiday as the pluses far outweighed the minuses

We had a family reunion at the villa with many nationalities. Ages ranging from 60 to 78 . One was in a wheelchair and Riccado made a ramp for us. It could have been difficult but the villa and gardens are so relaxing everyone enjoyed themselves. The swimming pool and rose terrace were very popular. Riccado and Stefania cooked a fantastic meal to welcome us all.

Wonderful villa that sits on a hillside with beautiful views. Lovely pool in warm weather, A remote location that is a little difficult to travel too and from but worth the ride.

I would recommed this beautiful property with no hesitations!
The owner, Ricardo, was flexible, patient and gracious.
Donnini is a small and quaint town, not much to see but nice to walk around in the evening

Çasa Delle Antiche Rose was a great find. The owners were wonderful and the house was outstanding. The wisteria was blooming when we arrived and the fragrance was amazing! The roses were just starting to bloom too. We visited in late April, 2012 and the house was roomy, well maintained and well stocked. The owners even left us a wonderful "Welcome Basket" filled with goodies and wine to start our stay off well. We would love to come back again soon!

There is only one suggestion and that would be to post the GPS coordinates on the site. We took Pontassieve Sud instead of Pontassieve Est (toward Rome) and got lost, but the locals were helpful and once we found the villa....it was amazing. Also, Stefania is a great artist and has lovely paintings throughout the house.

This villa is great for families too. It has many rooms and bathrooms which was great for our family trip. We had 3 couples and our mom and everyone had their own room and bathroom, which is very hard to find in Europe. Our favorite past time was dining on the patio and enjoying our family in the gorgeous Tuscan outdoors.

We definitely recommend Casa Delle Antiche Rose and look forward to another visit soon.

Thank you Riccardo and Stefania!

This property was nice and big, and suited our needs as it was near Villa Pitiana where we were attending an event. Our children loved exploring the garden and playing in the pool (note: not well fenced). There were many lovely areas to sit and enjoy the surroundings. This house is quite isolated (car essential), but the owners were very helpful in providing information about nearby shops and transport. The house had everything we needed. We would recommend it to other families, in particular.
