Awesome farm villa

Guido’s home in Tuscany is great! My family had an awesome time enjoying the pool, the near by wineries and a cooking class at the villa. The house is rustic, charming and in a great location. The beds are a bit old and the showers were a little small but overall the house fit all the needs of my family. The pool was also excellent and the views from the pool area are incredible. Whenever we needed anything it was always answered quickly. Thanks for an awesome stay!

Relaxing break

3 generations of us stayed in this lovely tuscan villa. We had everything we needed. The host was fantastic. His son ( a chef) gave us a cookery lesson and a typical tuscan meal. The pool was very appreciated. Its been a fantastic break in a house that could accommodate all 9 of us but still allow us to have space. Thankyou

Would not come back

Photos are very stylized. Makes the house look very bright and light. It is not. The house is dark. All the bedrooms are dark. When we arrived there was mould on all the showerheads and the washing machine. Towels were very old. The showers are ridiculously small and and a slight knock opened the door and water flooded out. Had a dishwasher but no soaps provided. Went to have a glass of wine and the first 3 glasses I pulled were dirty with lipstick stains. The outside pool area was a shambles. The fake grass carpet was lifted up everywhere, all the chairs were either upside down or flipped on their sides. No outdoor furniture was clean or ready to use. I had to wipe down the table and chairs myself so we could use them. It's a quiet area, but we found the house lacking in most areas, especially for the prices being charged and would never consider returning. Whoever posted the images representing the inside as having lots of natural light is falsely representing the property. Stayz should ask them to re-photograph with realistic images of the inside.

Rural Area But Beautiful Setting

Our group of six (3 couples) spent three nights at this villa and enjoyed our stay. While it’s in a fairly rural area with extremely bumpy roads, the views from the pool are beautiful and the villa is in good shape. We also found some nice restaurants that were no more than 10 minutes away by car. One day we went on an e-bike tour guided by Andrea with Pastrimotors which was both fun and challenging given the hilly terrain. If you’re interested in visiting Montalcino, it’s about an hours drive.

Relaxing Tuscan Villa

Such a calm, relaxing place to stay. The villa has lots of room, a nice big kitchen on both floors, and a beautiful pool. The host provided prosecco, wine and sparkling water for us, which was lovely. The highlight of our stay was the cooking class provided by Leonardo. So much fun and lots of food! We had leftovers for the next day. The listing mentions the bbq, however it hadn’t been cleaned, so we couldn’t make use of it- this was our only disappointment. Overall, we enjoyed our stay here very much.

A Lovely Villa in a Great Location

A really good property in a fantastic location - the vineyard opposite the end of the drive is brilliant! Stunning countryside and very convenient for towns such as Chinciano and Montepulciano. Great pool meticulously maintained every day by the owner (don't expect an early morning swim!) The villa is a little "tired" in places - one of the handrails to the pool area was treacherous, for example, and the cutlery/crockery/glassware could be improved. Mosquitoes were a menace but you can't blame the host for them! There could be more information to hand - we wanted to watch the start of the Rugby World Cup on our final night but there was no way to make the TV work and it was late in the evening to contact our host. We had Leo, the owner's son, to cook a meal one night. It was absolutely delicious but a little pricy compared with what we paid at local restaurants. Overall, a brilliant holiday and, despite my small quibbles, I would recommend this property.

Stunning views

Loved our stay .Beautiful location with stunning views over the lush countryside. Couldn't have wished for a better stay . Did have a problem with mosquitos , so plenty of repellent needed. One of the rooms was advertised as a twin but was in fact a double , but Rafael quickly provided bedding for the sofa bed . Location perfect to get about and visit places ... Montepulciano gorgeous place to visit as was Sienna. Local vineyard poggio del Moro was well worth a visit to taste the gorgeous red wines and see the stunning views. Villa perfect to chill and relax , really good size pool 👍and lovely sitting area with barbecue. Would definitely recommend and would 100% return if we visited Tuscany again.

One of the best stays ever.....

We had 8 people, 4 sisters and our adult daughters. The Villa was big enough to easily accommodate us. It was the perfect location to stay while venturing out to all the cities and towns that we wanted to see. The train to Florence was only 15 minutes away and it was a quick 1.5 hours to the most beautiful city in the world. The host, Raffaelle, is on property a lot. At first it was awkward, but he is the nicest man and so sweet, that it worked out just fine. There is no instruction manual in the Villa, so we had to reach out to Raffaelle everyday with questions. Where to take trash? How to run the washing machine? How to use the oven? But he QUICKLY responded and took care of us. The house was clean, the beds were comfortable, the showers hot and the Host was welcoming! Note....you only get one towel per person for the whole stay. I would absolutely stay there again! It was charming, magical and perfect!

Fantastic Tuscany Base

We stayed in Guido's villa last week and had a great time. We do a villa holiday every year as a big group of (8) friends and this one was one of the best - and certainly had the best pool which we made much use of. We enjoyed being able to have a tour of a local vineyard at Poggio del Moro and visit places like Montepulciano in the evenings. Rosso Vivo Pizzeria Verace was also a great more local pizzeria. Guido and Raf were very responsive on the vrbo chat and were great with our later-than-planned check in. Thanks :)

tuscany in a nutshell!

We were very happy about our stay at the house. It's super cute and so authentic. We definitelly got the vibe of Tuscany! Location is perfect. We were looking for a place to rest and the fact that there are no neighbors right next to you is amazing. The only problem we had was the heat wave so it would be great if the AC unit upstairs were working better. Other than that everything was great! It's a beautiful, authentic house located in a small village, peacefull and quiet. The owner is super nice. He comes to clean the pool every morning. His son is an amazing chef and cooked for us an amazing dinner once. We also got some fresh vegetables from his garden. That is such a uniqe experience! The vineayrd nearby, 5 minutes walking distance is definitelly worth the visit! Amazing wine and great family experience, so welcoming!

Lovely Country Home

We had a near-perfect stay at the villa with days full of sunshine, swimming in the pool, and exploring nearby towns. The house is very comfortable and immaculately kept with a well-stocked kitchen that enabled us to cook most of our meals at home. We loved cooking with Leonardo, the owner's son, so much that we asked him to do two cooking classes with us at the house. We slept well every night and would return to this property in a heartbeat! The only slight negatives were that there isn't a handbook for the house so it's a bit unclear on what to do with garbage, how to open the gate to leave the property, wifi access, etc. The owner was very responsive, so we received the information quickly, but it would be nicer to not have to ask each time. Also, the owner is at the property every day, watering plants, caring for the land, etc. so it was not as private as we expected when booking. Even with those slight issues, we would stay here again and highly recommend the home and location!

Perfect family retreat

We had a wonderful five day stay at Raffaele‘s property. We were a group of parents, grandparents, teenagers and dogs. The layout of the house gave everyone enough space and privacy. The bed linens were very nice, and extra blankets were welcome on chilly mornings. There were plenty of bath towels, too. The kitchens - there are two! - are well equipped. We used the barbecue outside frequently and loved being able to grill with such a beautiful view of the surrounding countryside. The surrounding property is stunning, with olive groves, grape vines and fields as far as the eye can see. Morning coffee on the porch followed by walk through the olive groves was a real highlight for me. The property is about a 10 minute drive to the nearest town and grocery store, and a wonderful butcher. Be sure to ask Raffaele for a recommendation as the butcher is terrific. The train station is approx 20 minutes away. There are a few wineries within walking distance. Pienza is a 30 min drive, Siena and Arezzo are approximately an hour by car. I cannot overstate the charm of the Podere. It is truly a countryside retreat, offering the opportunity to just sit on the porch and look at nature if that is what you like, but with plenty to do if you feel more active. I should know that there is a (completely fenced) pool, but we did not go in as it was a bit chilly. It looks beautiful and is certainly well-maintained. * since I have teenagers, the staunchest critics of Wi-Fi, I will add this: the Wi-Fi is decent. It is exactly what I have found at most places in Italy. If you’re coming from the US you may find it slow. However, I think this is about as fast as it gets in Italy. It is certainly enough to do most things online.

Tolles Erlebnis

Das Haus hat eine super Lage, ist abgelegen und trotzdem in der Nähe eines Supermarkts. Die Außenanlagen mit Pool und Terrasse hat viele Möglichkeiten eröffnet. Die Küchenausstattung war zufriedenstellend. Alles in allem ein sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt.

Heerlijke week!

Met onze 4 kinderen (15-23 jaar) een heerlijke week gehad in Raffaeles huis. Airco's in alle slaapkamers, heerlijk rustige omgeving maar toch dicht bij prachtige dorpjes. Fijn zwembad en op dinsdagavond heeft Leonardo (zoon) heerlijk voor ons gekookt. We zouden graag een keer terug gaan!
