Villas in Tuscany, Italy

Location was what pleased us most, as well as apartment, itself. Also, the swimming pool (when available!) was nicely suited for children and was certainly large enough (approx. 22m x 10, and max 1.50m deep). Total lack of proper management, and overall maintenance of the property and apartment!!! Daily 'management' was strictly the responsibility of two, overworked, rather young and inexperienced ladies, working in shifts (hosting approx. 35 rooms and double the number of guests at least). Due to this, reception was largely unmanned, and no possibility to contact the management, at reception or by phone. Swimming pool (which was the only true accessory available at the location) was out of order and not cleaned/filtered for almost two days due to 'necessary' repairs (which should be done in low season or off season, NOT in high season!). Our daughter cut her foot on broken and very sharp tiles, which had become loose from the edge... A technical failure of our air conditioning, took over 2(!) days to get addressed (not solved!), only after I laid down a complaint and this in temperatures reaching 36°C and night temperatures not lower than 25°C (we stayed 7 nights). Yet, they are able to monitor the working of the AC in each room from the front dest! Breakfast was a true laugh, and therefore way too expensive to be called 'breakfast': the two 'team' personnel was very demotivated and not friendly at all, which resulted in a constant lack of replenishment of the food, the choice of which was very limited and not worthy of the price to be paid for!

We based ourselves here for 10 days and we couldn't have been more pleased. The villa is lovely and to have the pool when temperatures reached 40c was the best. The staff at the villa (Cathy, Flora and the others) really can't do enough for you. Facilities are superb with full use of a small kitchen with fridge freezer, washing machine,etc,etc! If you want it they will happily clean your room and change towels every day. A great base within 15 mins walk of the Duomo and most other sites. Venice is only 2 hours by fast train and Pisa, Lucca and other places are similarly close. All in all - lovely villa, pool , staff and location

We recently stayed here for 4 days with our two kids and loved every bit of it. The rooms were spacious and super comfy, especially the beds – we all slept like logs! The breakfast was a hit with lots of choices for everyone, even our picky eaters. What really made our stay special was how friendly the staff was. They were always smiling and ready to help with anything we needed. Manager Alessandro was always keen to check on our well being and comfort. In short, this place is awesome for families. Great rooms, yummy breakfast, and super nice people. We’re definitely coming back!

Beautiful hotel in a beautiful location with a 360-degree view over Chianti Classico. The rooms are spacious and renovated, and there is a beautiful outdoor pool with sunbeds. The place is very tranquil, and one could easily spend half a day here just enjoying the views. It is also a winery, so wine tastings are possible. Adventure ******* can rent mountain bikes, and there are several trails in the hinterland of the hotel available. Service could improve for dinner, as nobody cared to refill wine glasses. Breakfast is good but nothing special. Charging facilities are available, although at 2 euros per kWh, which is the most expensive I have ever seen.

We booked two rooms for a few days. The rooms are nice and the area is very quiet. Excellent hygiene. The structure is very small from Pisa and is perfect for anyone who wants to visit Toscana. They accept dogs, provided they stay with the masters in the rooms, and perhaps there is something to improve with the indoors.

We rented Il Macchione out for our wedding guests and we are so happy we did so. They put up with so many emails from me before we arrived and were still very kind and welcoming when we got there! The property itself has the most stunning views and all the staff was incredibly kind and helpful. Everyone had their own flats and space but we had a communal feeling. If we hadn't rented the whole place out, there was still lots of room so that you wouldn't feel like you were holidaying with a lot of strangers. They arranged a yoga class for us and could arrange for a private chef. The family owns some restaurants in Pienza too which were very tasty! They also provide a parking spot in Pienza so you can find parking much easier than you can otherwise. I cannot recommend this place enough. We are already planning on returning for our anniversary and CANNOT wait! Thank you Francesco and everyone at Il Macchione!

Considering that the purchase at themall was late and I didn't want to proceed, so I found a nearby hotel, Tuscan country style, general facilities, rural bed and breakfast, mind to live with caution, the house is on the mountain. The environment is very good, but the access control system is a bit tasteless, maybe I don’t know how to use it. The most important thing is that I must have a car when I live here.

We stayed 5 nights at Marignolle and had a great family stay. Traveling with our 2 kids and a grandparent required unique accomodation and Marignolle was perfect for us. Separate rooms in a quiant setting, a wonderful breakfast on-site, and staff all wonderfully friendly and helpful. One family member was sick and so they were especially kind to make sure she was ok during our stay. From getting taxis, to recommendations in town, to a wonderful cooking class across the courtyard - it was a perfect place to be near all that Florence and Tuscanny has to offer, while still a quiet family setting. The owners were also very easy to correspond with even before we arrived with many helpful email exchanges. We highly recommend Marignolle!

Great farm hotel! The farmhouse is located on a hill with a superb view and overlooking Siena. It was raining all the way to Florence, and it was raining in the farm. The sky in Siena was beautiful! The owner is a 70-year-old woman, very kind and very serious, and carefully introduced the nearby attractions worth visiting. Because of three people, we booked an apartment with a separate living room dining room. The sofa in the living room is a sofa bed that can be unfolded. The sheets and towels are very clean and the bed is very comfortable. The kitchen is fully equipped, and the tea bags and snacks are delicious! When I got up in the morning, I found out that the original farmhouse had its own laundry room and it was fully equipped. There is a big supermarket opposite Siena’s out-of-town station. You can go back and buy the breakfast materials yourself. Sitting in the morning and looking out at the beautiful view of Tuscany for breakfast, enjoy it too!

Recently stayed here on a delayed honeymoon with my spouse. Had we know just how much we’d love our stay here, we would have booked it last on our trip and stayed more days. It was by far the highlight of our trip to Italy. If you’re looking for something authentic, relaxing, and quaint, then I suggest staying here. This is not a resort. It’s an authentic stay on a vineyard in a beautiful small village. We had a private room with access to a common area. Siena was a 20 min drive away. The wine tours were Fantastic and the guides were knowledgeable. The restaurant had a wonderful breakfast selection and we enjoyed dinner there as well. My experience booking with Eleanora and the entire staff’s hospitality while staying there made this experience memorable. A lovely stay it a lovely place. Thank you. -Kathleen

Every so often you come by a place of stay, that you feel attached to / you relate-to, in an ”unexplainable” way. Casa De Campagna is one such place. I am not sure if it was the first impressions of a warm welcome from Sofia or if it was the meadows surrounding the place, or the free roaming animals in their property or the beautiful rooms that were perfect with everything a party of 11 would need or the sumptuous food they serve outdoors or their bountiful breakfast or the barrista ladies piping out coffees with a smile always... or it was just the way this wonderful family treats their guests... Dunno. But one thing for sure. We will return and make more memories here !
