We had a fantastic week in the castle. Our large family really enjoyed the large spaces, both indoor and outdoor. The pool was amazingly clean thanks to Gina who helped us every morning and we appreciated the depth of the pool as well! Vicky and Franka were incredibly helpful with everything from understanding the facilities to recommendations around the area. The olive oil from the farm was really really good! We wish to come back again!

Congratulations for the owners of the Strozzi villa in Montaione, the house was amazing, everything has been done to make our stay perfect! The mom of Vicky, was introducing us with so much kindness and she told us about the history of the family castel .
We spent a wonderful time with our kids and grandkids and all of us were so happy to be there....
The view was amazingly beautiful and peaceful, the house had all the conveniences wished, every room has his history, it was really wonderful and Vicky the best host we could wish.....
The region is also exceptionnal, not far from Pisa, Sienna and Firenze and we enjoyed everything....
I’m looking for negative points but I don’t find any.....and if I could I would give the house and the owners a 12/10!!!
Thank you so much Franca and Vicky for the nice hospitality you gave us......
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jun 2019
I’d like to start out by saying Vicky, and her mother, who lives on the property, were lovely and engaged hosts. Vicky was very responsive and helpful in the half dozen exchanges we had before the trip, and very prompt on WhatsApp while there. The historic house is full of cool artifacts and details, as well as a few updates. There is no air conditioning anywhere in the house! Not a problem for morning or evenings, but can be during the day and with windows shut at night.
The positives further include a gorgeous, although remote location, plenty of space to hang out, two refrigerators, and all the dishes and linens you could possibly need.
The negatives: the remote location means it takes about 20 minutes to reach on a winding, steep, dirt trail. Not anything you want to attempt in the dark, so we were all stuck there from 8 pm onward. And leaving, once you’d arrived, was not an exciting prospect!
Mobility: if you have ANY mobility issues at all, this is not the house for you! Not realizing there was a long, steep, walk up to the house besides the 8-9 steps shown in the picture, as well as additional flights of stairs to get up to all of the bedrooms but one, I booked the house. As I was traveling with four people with limited mobility due to age, this was definitely an issue! The fact that this was not stated is an oversight by the owners, and could have potentially ruined our trip because of a fall or similar.
The insects: My room was fine, but saw many ants and heard of other bugs in other rooms, especially the kitchen and front top floor bedroom. The house is open throughout the day, but should really be sprayed before guests come in, as well as instructions left regarding this issue. My stepmother’s room was covered in little beetles daily, which I only learned on our last day. She stated that she had to kill 20 or more daily while there!
Finally, while many of the bathrooms have been updated nicely, the first floor bathroom has not been. It had no shower curtain, so every shower wet the entire room, and there was a very strong smell of sewage present. Again, we were 11 people, and I only learned of this on the last day.
I made no mention of these last two issues to Vicky, because it was so late in our 8 day stay, but I assume she’d have taken care of the problems that were treatable promptly had she known.
I do recommend this listing, as we enjoyed our stay, but am obligated to share the issues we witnessed while there.
