Top Tuscany Vacation Rental Reviews

This is the most beautiful place in Tuscany.
The owner and her family are the most generous people. An adorable family with the kindest of hearts. I spent one amazing week and I wish I was there for longer.. Cannot wait to return.

Perfect location and really close to San Gimignano, and easy drive to Florence, Siena, and Pisa all within about an hour. Directions to the villa are excellent. Host was very friendly, came early to meet us, and each day someone comes in to maintain the pool and gardens. Very private location in between two residential villas and on the small road from San G to Uignano.
Pros - beautiful views over the Tuscan hills into the distance, very clean, well appointed, secure, private, excellent sized pool, spacious villa could sleep 6 at a push with three doubles (one of which is sofa bed) and there were two single beds available too. Mosquito nets over windows are very effective - didn't get any bites overnight! Two kitchens, with main kitchen with large fridge/freezer and cooker, no microwave. Three separate showers and toilets. Utility room with washing machine and iron.

Cons - no air conditioning in bedrooms but ceiling fans and portable fan available - don't take your pyjamas! Only one bath towel per person, and no pool towel which would have been nice. House is on three floors, so if you don't like stairs without handrails this is not the villa for you.

Planning to go back again next year to this beautiful villa. It's a magical place for a holiday.

Loved our stay. The owner was very helpful in providing all the info we required before our stay. The villa is spacious, completely private, well appointed, and has some of the most special views we have ever seen. For a quiet, off the beaten track place to stay while near to all Tuscany has to offer, this place cannot be beat. It is ideal for large family or friend gatherings. Looking forward to returning soon.

So what do you imagine when you think of Tuscany? Rolling hills with ancient walled towns, woodland, cypress trees, wild flowers, butterflies, vineyards, olive groves. This cottage has it all! The view across to Montepulciano is simply stunning. Montefollonico, a 13th century gem, is in walking distance and has great restaurants - 13 Gobbi is recommended. And you can get great take away pizza at Il Botteghino - a 10 minute drive. Close by are Pienza, Montalcino and Torrito di Sienna - all worth a visit. And don't forget to tour a winery.
The cottage itself is lovely. Comfortable, full of character, simple but adequate kitchen (stone sink!), good showers and a lovely terrace for outside eating. Roe deer barking in the distance, nightjar churring in the meadow.
We simply couldn't imagine a better place to chill out, kick back, and experience the Tuscan hills.

This was an ideal villa for 7 of us on our two week stay in San Gimignano. The villa is very well equipped and located in beautiful grounds with wonderful views. The house is divided into two self-contained units which can sleep four each. It was an easy walk uphill to San Gimignano. The owners live on the property and were very friendly and accessible, providing lots of local knowledge, maps and guides.

Only minutes away from San Gimignano, this cottage was everything we hoped for. It was spacious, well equipped and the view was to die for. Every morning when we opened the shutters, looking out over vineyards and olive groves towards the Towers of San Gimignano we were in awe of the breathtaking landscape all around us. But it was not only the landscape that made our stay special, it was also the lovely, well kept grounds of this beautiful estate which made it so enjoyable. It was obvious that the owners took great care of their property. The attention to detail could be seen everywhere.

I need to mention that I am mobility challenged and that even the 2 steps into the Cottage would have been very difficult for me. The owner immediately created a ramp so that I could enter the Cottage with my scooter. This was beyond the call of duty and much appreciated. Many thanks to the owners for their help and caring.

This apartment is close to everything on both sides of the Arno. Lots of room in large bedrooms and living spaces. We were very warmly greeted and enthusiastically told about great local gelaterias and restaurants. Also highly recommended is the small gelateria in the square below.

We very much enjoyed our 2 week stay. Tereglio is a charming small village on top of a small mountain that has wonderful views of the two valleys below and adjacent mountains. The village has an excellent trattoria that we went to every day of our stay except for Mondays when it was closed.
This is a charming old house with wonderful views. The house is well equipped and the layout is such that the four of us (two couples) could each have a bedroom and bathroom on different floors.
Two things that visitors need to know is that the last mile of the road leading to the house is single track with sheer drops along many stretches of a winding road. Also the paths and roads in Tereglio have many steep gradients.

The villa was in a fabulous location, beautiful views and spacious. The owners were friendly, available and really tried to make good once we raised issues but regretfully our visit was spoiled by lack of communication, things just not being as advertised and lack of attention/thought to this as a holiday business. We were told on arrival that the washing machine was broken, and it was replaced 6 days later. As a large family who had travelled from another holiday location first, we were relying on washing on arrival. The electricity was terrible so that if only one thing was used (kettle or cooker or dishwasher) and house lights were on, it tripped so we had problems even cooking a pizza. We had a hornets nest on the inside of a shutter of one child's bedroom rendering the room useless. We were assured they would go away if shutters were left open but then a hornet still managed to get in the bedroom. This was only properly dealt with on 3rd or 4th day of our weeks stay. There were 2 other large hornets nests in the home windows higher up which meant many in the immediate vicinity, including outside the kitchen so you needed to be careful with doors open. We are keen to protect wildlife, however if you have allergies or anxieties, babies or young children, this was a real and dangerous problem. We could not see any online evidence that destroying nests in homes is prohibited in Italy. You absolutely needed a car as the house is a good 15-20 minute drive on treacherous hairpins from amenities, though a 15 minute walk from a great restaurant and buses were reliable though only 3 a day. This needs to be clear to people before booking. We understand Italy countryside can be challenging, but then tell people beforehand as they may not be able to cope with this. We were disappointed to find no information about nearest medical facilities, pharmacist, bins and disposal, instructions for electricity, sites of interest etc or warning that you needed to buy things before arrival as nearest shop a difficult drive of 20 mins away. There was no visitor book or welcoming pack that we have had in other villas through owners direct like wine, or cake or basics like a few dishwasher tablets and washing up liquid to tide us over. Spare pillows would be nice (only one per person) though beds comfy. Though the hosts greeted us and gave verbal instructions, after a tiring journey these are easy to forget so written back up would be useful. Overall, this could be a lovely villa but some serious improvements need making given that this is a holiday that people have looked forward to and saved for. We do not usually write poor reviews, and do so in the hope that changes will be made and other families don't have similar experience in a promising location.
