We can’t thank Susanna and her family enough for the privilege of staying at this incredible property! We had a wonderful two weeks mainly relaxing on the terrace, by the pool or in the extensive and carefully cared for garden and grounds. The views from this property are beyond stunning, looking down a long expansive valley, watching the sun dip behind the mountains each evening, and the property has been designed to allow you to almost constantly enjoy the views - even while cooking in the well equipped kitchen! The pool is an absolute delight - also allowing you to fully enjoy the view! The property itself is very comfortably furnished and air conditioned - partIcularly welcomed as the temperature rose to nearly 40 - with plenty of fresh linens. And the family made us extremely welcome with welcome gifts of food and wine and deliveries of pastries, home made sauce (the best we’ve ever tasted) and fresh figs picked from the gardens during our stay. We mainly self catered using the Coop in Montevarchi as well as the excellent macelleria and pasticceria in Pestello, a few minutes drive down towards Montevarchi, though Susanna was very helpful with restaurant recommendations nearby as well as in Florence where we stayed for a couple of days. For something a bit different try nearby L’Altroieri which we really enjoyed. From this property you can visit a number of well known places. We enjoyed driving down through the Chianti villages from Florence and a day trip to Siena.

Our 10-day mid-October 2022 stay at Susanna & Andrea's hilltop home was entirely consistent with the experiences of other 5-star reviewers, with one exception: the web photos do not fully illustrate the scale of the building, the land surrounding it, or the 180° views of this part of Tuscany. You simply need to see them. This family of hosts (including sister Elisabetta and father Giancarlo) has found, in hosting travelers to their property, at least one of their callings: super hosts of English-speakers. They are generous, nurturing, and funny people with whom we enjoyed every interaction. Advice to future visitors: (1) make sure to avail yourselves of Susanna's offer to guide you to the site, otherwise you'll likely get lost the first time (after that curated drive, we had no subsequent confusion); (2) continue to use the "southerly" route from town to house (by way of Localita Ventena and via Moncioni) rather than the "northerly" route (by way of via di Poggio S. Marco and via Chiantigiana) unless you have rented a serious 4W drive vehicle w/ high ground clearance. We look forward to staying at this property again someday.

It is very hard to describe the perfect spot, the place where you feel welcome and home immediately. For us it has been this little paradise. The breathtaking view, the quiet surrounding and calming chirping out of the olive trees has been one of our biggest treasures ever. A hot cup of morning coffee to welcome the day while relaxing on the beautiful terrace, being warmed by the late afternoon sun at the pool or being inspired by the colors of a late evening sunset - in every moment we felt the love and passion put into this dream. We enjoyed every day, every minute, every second and would love to be back soon.

Nous recommandons fortement cette location si vous souhaitez passer des vacances au calme, dans une nature luxuriante, au cœur d'une très belle oliveraie. Il y a énormément de promenades à faire en partant à pieds depuis la maison. En voiture, les principales villes toscanes sont aisément accessibles (Florence, Arezzo, Sienne, Pienza, Montepulciano...). La maison, ses équipements, son mobilier sont d'une grande qualité, esthétique comme pratique - amateurs d'architecture et de design vous serez comblés! Les propriétaires font le maximum pour que le séjour se déroule au mieux et avec tout ce dont vous aurez besoin. Le service d'entretien régulier de la piscine est notamment à relever. Bref, un séjour luxe, calme et volupté!
