“Views amazing, house beautiful and Village so friendly” We stayed for one week at La Ginestra and could have been there for so much longer. We loved it, the view across the valley is a wow and the house is so tastefully decorated and of high quality. The village is just two minutes walk away and has a fab pub and lovely restaurants. I am a Food Technologist so food is very important to me - the butchers in the old town was fab, sausages and ham just so delicious. We really did feel accepted everyone was just so friendly to us. We toured most days and saw some beautiful Tuscan towns. We loved everything about it. Bed so comfy and beautiful, bedding crisp and white.

“Dreams do come true in Radda” We spent a month in Europe and Radda was the last leg of our journey and the absolute best part of our trip. Besides the breath taking vistas that abound in all directions, the accommodations are spectacular. A comfortable bed, a gorgeous bathroom and a quaint sitting area with sink and fridge. Evenings we would enjoy a glass of wine on the terrace overlooking the orchard. The gardens are filled with rows and rows of lavender. Exquisite! The entire villa is like a setting from a romantic movie about Italy. To be really decadent, we had a massage poolside that Mila arranged for us. It was heaven. It really is a place to find peace and tranquility, away from the noise of life. Mila is a charming hostess and a fountain of knowledge re the neighboring villages and history. She was fascinating to listen to and not the least bit intrusive. If we needed her she was there, otherwise she respected our privacy. My one wish would be, to have the opportunity to return again to this paradise. Thank you Mila for a wonderful experience in Chianti.

“The real heart of Tuscany, a dreamholiday” For many years we have spent every summerholiday in Italy. It took only little time trying out various locations before we realized that the Casina at Setriolo was the perfect place and since then we haven't been anywhere else. The place is beautiful, quiet, romantic. The views from the terrace breathtaking. The garden lush and colourful, the swimming pool surrounded by lavender and green hedges. The house itself offers everything you need, it is compact, practical and yet full of character. And situated in the heart of the Chianti region of Tuscany all the main attractions are nearby. And even after having bought our own house in Umbria, we will go on visiting Setriolo for the dear owners and the beautiful memories.

“A Slice of Paradise” We stayed at Podere Patrignone for 5 days in September. It was wonderful to stay in a self contained apartment after 4 weeks of hotels in France. The farmhouse is charming, the apartments are unique and quaint, the countryside was picture perfect and the weather was unseasonably warm. Simon and Verity were such hospitable hosts, yet give the guests their own space. We thoroughly enjoyed the weekly meal Verity and Pam created for all the guests. You must have a car to truely experience all the hidden charms of Tuscany, and everything is so close and the quality of food and wine was impressive. Our favourite memory of staying at Podere Patrignone was sharing sunsets on the terrace with other guests and partaking of good wine, great conversation and so many laughs. We will be back for another slice of paradise.

“family reunion” we looked for a place where the whole family could celebrate a 70'years birthday. We were altogether 4 families of 8 adults and 7 children. The property was ideal for us. We occupied 5 apartments and had the whole place at our disposal. It was nice that we had the whole property at our own so that we should not consider other residents. All apartments were in good standard and the pool area was nice. We had really no complains at all. One evening a pizza evening was arranged by the manager and it was splendid. Further the surrounding towns were interesting and marvelous.

“Fantastic Hosts for this unique countryside Villa” Our trip to Italy still fresh in our minds so we wanted to write to tell others about our lovely experience at Villa le Capanne. We stayed with another couple for one week, make trips to Florence, Voltera, Pisa and more. Gina and Franco met us and welcomed us with enough goodies to keep us well taken care of until we could shop. Each day, a new treat appeared and they were all yummy-Gina is a fantastic baker and cook. The villa was spotless and just as described. Let me just say that the location is a bit of a challenge, but worth it for the views. Sitting around the pool and gazebo was very relaxing. You may need to allow extra time to get to the main roads for day trips but if you are prepared, it is not a problem. We had some great fun at the local restaurant, pizza on the weekend and then dinner on another night. The little village, Montecastelli Pisano was charming and we walked on a quiet street and found a violin maker who played us one of his own compositions-unique experience! Great hosts in a lovely setting!

“Wow! A relaxing well appointed holiday home” This is central rural position 6ks from Torrita di Siena makes it easy to enjoy beautiful Tuscany. With easy day trips with a car to Seina, Arezzo, Cortona, Castiglione del Lago or Firenze to name a few.Quiet, comfortable with a very suitable kitchen facilities, all helping to make a very relaxing home base in the middle of the wine area. A good map and GPS navigation system is a must to find your way in this amazing countryside.

“Paradise in Tuscany!” This lovely villa has it all and is the kind of place that makes you want to stay and 'while away' the afternoon among its many outdoor spaces: whether it's dining in the gazebo overlooking the vineyard, watching as the evening sun sets over the gently rolling hills, relaxing in a chaise by the glistening pool, enjoying a café crème or glass of wine on the patio surrounded by roses, lemon trees and pots of flowers, or gazing beyond at Cortona high on a hill or Trasimeno Lake in the valley below, you will come to know this is a very special place. La Valiana is centrally located for explorations to nearby villages and wineries, Cortona, lovely Pienza (a favorite), Montepulciano or easy day trips to Montalcino, Orvieto, Siena, Arezzo, Florence, Chianti and beyond. It is comfortable and beautifully decorated in classic, Tuscan style with fine architectural details such as wrought iron arched windows, doors and Travertine marble floors. You will be well taken care of and looked after by Cecelia and her Family who are the most gracious hosts - they are dedicated to making your stay a wonderful, memorable one, making themselves available should you need any assistance. Their warm hospitality and attention to detail will make you feel special and, at once, a part of the family. If you opt to have a meal prepared and waiting for your arrival after a long day of travel or touring, it will not disappoint and, quite possibly, could be one of the best meals in all of Tuscany, especially when enjoyed under the stars. You will want for nothing - except perhaps to extend your stay, or at the very least, come back again! You can be sure we will be back!!

“A jewel in the heart of Tuscany.” Booking very easy helped by the owner. Apartment exceptionally comfortable with all the facilities we required. There was no problem moving in thanks to being met by Fabio when we arrived. A beautiful location with amazing views of Tuscany. An ideal spot for touring and visiting the many medieval towns in this area.
