Wonderful views, wonderful staff, wonderful villa, nice pool. All you can wish on a hot summer day in Toscana.

The setting was gorgeous and the breakfast delicious. The staff were very kind and helped us with directions. The shower leaked. Even when we closed the shower door tightly water leaked onto the floor.

Breathtaking views, clean, kind staff, beautiful rooms

Location, staff, grounds were beautiful, room very comfortable and the staff went out of their way to put softer topper on my bed. Tight parking.

A beautiful place with an amazing view! The staff is super nice, gave great recommendations and is attentive to any questions or requests. Great coffee and tasty, simple breakfast. We loved our stay here! The rooms are close together and gave the common area so you might occasionally here noise or other guests or staff around, or a car passing by in the road nearby. You can’t control the AC as it was set to heating since October but when we stayed it was hot - but you can open the window

We fell in love with this place. Just sit and stare at the view, I could do it all day long. Adding to that, the place itself is gorgeous and well kept. Its charming and stays calm and peaceful even when fully booked. Breakfast is just how the italians like it, small but strong like the espresso. We were there for 8 nights so we did take breakfast outside the property sometimes to switch it up a bit. The afternoon drinks and platters are also highly recommended while you sit at one of their many outside spots. Claudia, Sabina and Tommaso genuinely care for their guests. They're happy to help with tips and recommendations and always up for a talk. We had a gorgeous room with just enough space for the two of us, just a tiny shower but we noticed this is the case in more Italian properties. All in all, we loved it and would highly recommend and would love to return. For working, the internet needs some improving and we never figured out the tv, but that was minor.

We traveled all over Italy during our two weeks stay. This was our last stop on our tour, and this was by far our favorite hotel we stayed at during our entire trip, and we stayed at A LOT of very nice hotels. Our host was incredibly helpful from our early check-in to our tour around the property to every bit of communication from start to finish. The grounds and pool were immaculate, and our room was absolutely stunning. We can't wait to go back and we're looking forward to staying a little longer next time too:) Nothing, everything was amazing :)!!

Beautiful small hotel / villa with the most sensational views. Very quiet and peaceful. The staff were exceptional : so friendly, attentive and personable. Claudia was a star. Lovely breakfast served each morning on the upstairs patio. Very close to the Chianti road. As Canadians, it was also fun to learn the property is owned by Canadians. Wifi could be a little spotty outside the rooms but not a big deal. I loved this place. Will be back !

Magical place set not far from Florence . Easy to explore other areas from here. The hotel is stunning as are the gardens and views -and the service is delightful.
-
The property was magnificent- the gardens some of the most beautiful in the region , the pool, the view. Great location to sightsee from and an easy walk to the town. The Staff were terrific- warm and knowledgeable and quick to help with anything. Rooms are well appointed and very chic. Important to know there’s no restaurant ( a great breakfast is served) and the snacks are minimal - but the town is close if you wish to bring anything back to eat or drink .

Everything about the property is truly exceptional. We were blown away. The property is stunning as are the views. Great breakfast too. A special mention for the host, Claudia, who was charming and couldn’t have been more helpful.

The property was amazing, the views of the area were so beautiful. Pool was closed but you can see in the pictures how stunning it would be to go for a swim. We couldn’t stay longer.

Beautifully located with such gorgeous views. The greenery and surrounding of the property is well maintained. We were disappointed that despite checking before hand whether the pool will be open it wasn’t open! We travelled with 2 young children who were so looking forward to time in the pool. There is really nothing else for families with kids to do on the property. We had two glorious sunny days that would have been perfect for the pool!! The other disappointing matter relates to the centralised heating and cooling. We were told over and over that because it’s autumn the temperature is adjusted to warm setting. We explained that the days of our stay were warm sunny days (high of 24 degrees) so we asked what can be done to assist us to sleep comfortably as we needed some cooling in the rooms. Nothing was offered. We were told there was nothing that can be done. I had to ask it there were stand alone fan units - just nothing was available. I think what bothers me most is there was no effort to think outside the box to assist your guests. I also explained our children were in a different unit where if we left windows open in the night there was no mosquito netting was available on the window so for security as well since the residence placed us parents elsewhere away from our kids unit it would not be possible to leave windows open overnight. Just very hot and sweaty nights in there with no options provided to us. Your staff told me it was illegal to switch the air condition on - I find that extremely hard to understand!!
