The place was like a dream. The landscape is so beautiful, the accommodations are perfect, complete with an adequate bathroom, a large comfy bedroom with tons of natural light, and a wonderful kitchen/living/dining room. The kitchen includes a small refrigerator, a toaster oven, and cutlery, dishes, etc. our host was charming and friendly without being overbearing. He gave us a bottle of wine on our arrival from a local vineyard. The locale is a beautiful olive farm, and he kindly shared with us a small tin of his handmade olive oil, perhaps our favorite souvenir from our entire trip to Italy. This felt like an extra generous gesture that perhaps can't be expected by every guest but we had a wonderful, long conversation with him about his farm, his life in Italy, Europe, American politics, and Italian lifestyle. He was perfectly happy to chat in English. Just a kind, unassuming, accommodating soul we were thrilled to get to know. He shared with us a very helpful map and recommended a route for us to drive through Tuscany to hit the most beautiful towns and avoid highways in favor of more a picturesque route. Driving this route and coming home to our beautiful villa in Siena was the highlight of the entire trip for me.
A little more about the accomidations: we visited in mid May and the pool wasn't open yet, but he recommended a hot springs close by. Honestly we didn't have time to swim anyway. But the pool is there and I assume he opens it later than mid may. There are delightful kitties about that keep to themselves. Our accommodation itself is a freestanding house, but it's not clear that every accommodation at this property is that way. The location is ideal; very convenient to Siena but truly feels like the countryside and the middle of nowhere. Absolutely the best place we stayed our entire trip; totally worth the cost.
It was an excellent villa. Very clean, excellent views and facilities. The owners were the nicest and most welcoming villa owners we have meet. The location is good only if you have a car, but this is not a big problem.
"Tolle Unterkunft, gepflegt und sauber, sehr nette Besitzerin und sehr freundliches Personal, tolles Frühstück! "
Guiseppa, die Besitzerin, hat mir mein Jacket, welches ich im Schrank vergessen hatte, kostenlos nach Hause gesandt... sehr nett fand ich das!

Das Schloss ist sehr schön gelegen und durch Alter und Einrichtung sehr beeindruckend. Das Restaurant ist sehr empfehlenswert. Wir hatten das Apartment Nr 36 mit 2 Schafzimmern und 2 Bädern. Die Einrichtung war sehr urig und typisch für die Region. Die Ausstattung war allerdings sehr spartanisch. Nur das nötigste Geschirr. Nicht mal ein Wasserkocher oder ein Toaster. Einen Backofen haben wir ganz besonders vermisst. So konnte man nicht mal ein paar Brötchen oder eine Pizza aufbacken. In dem Begrüßungsprospekt das uns überreicht wurde, hieß es "hier werden Sie nur vom Zwitschern der Vögel geweckt". Das war leider überhaupt nicht so. Die Straße direkt neben dem Apartment wird morgens zwischen 05.00 und 08.00 Uhr von den Bewohnern von Montegufoni als Rennstrecke zur Arbeitsstelle genutzt. Aufgrund der nicht vorhandenen Isolation der Fenster und Wände hört sich das an, als wenn alle mitten durch das Haus fahren. Am zweiten Tag reiste einen Gruppe von 112 Leuten an - überwiegend im Alter von 20-30 Jahren. Von da an (bis zum folgenden Sonntag) war der Pool rund um die Uhr belegt und es wurde bis morgens um 04.00 Uhr (am Samstag bis 06.10 Uhr) Party gemacht. Mittelpunkt war ein Ghettoblaster der allerfeinsten Sorte mit Extrasuperbass. Beschwerden (nicht nur von uns) bei der Hotelleitung führten dazu, dass die Musik etwas leise wurde, dafür der Bass aber um so mehr dröhnte. Nachdem diese Gruppe abgezogen ist, kam eine eine größere Gesellschaft, die u.a. auch in das bis dahin leerstehende Apartment neben uns eingezogen sind. Wenn dort jemand sprach oder Geräusche machte, hatten wir den Eindruck, dass die in unserem Zimmer stehen. Wir haben noch nie so schlecht und so wenig im Urlaub geschlafen (die Matratzen sind übrigens auch mieß). Schade, es hätte so schön sein können :-(

The castle is very nicely located and by age and decor very impressive. The restaurant is highly recommended. We had apartment # 36 with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The decor was very rustic and typical of the region. The equipment was however very basic. Only the most necessary dishes. Not even a water cooker or a toaster. We missed an oven. So you could not even bake a few rolls or a pizza. In the welcome report presented to us, it was said that "you are only woken by the chirping of birds". Unfortunately this was not the case at all. The road next to the apartment is used as a racetrack by the inhabitants of Montegufoni in the morning between 5 am and 8 am. Due to the lack of isolation of the windows and walls, it sounds like everyone is driving through the house. On the second day, a group of 112 people arrived - mostly at the age of 20-30 years. From then on (until the following Sunday) the pool was occupied around the clock and it was party until 4 am (Saturday to 06.10 clock). Complaints (not only of us) with the hotel management led to the music was only a little bit quiet... After this group left, a larger company came, which among other things moved into also in the until then resettled apartment beside us. When someone spoke or made noise, we had the impression that they were in our room. We have never slept so badly and so little on vacation (the mattresses are also bad). It could have been so nice...
Lives up to the pictures seen on the website.
Be awere, that two of the Six berths are in the livingroom on a sleeping couch.
The family Living above is exceptionally sweet and helpful.
Myself, along with my husband and a group of twelve others had the opportunity to stay in this lovely villa. It was like walking into a movie....absolutely breathtaking. All the rooms were clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated, and the grounds were wonderful. We enjoyed the pool, veranda, and everything about this villa. Claudia, the owner was such a lovely lady and very helpful to us. If you ever want to take that Tuscan vacation this is the place to stay. You will not be disappointed. It is a place that we would stay again and again.
Was a great experience.. Great location to visit many different Hill Towns in Tuscany and Umbria.
Wonderful apartment. helpful owners.. Just a perfect week
Thus idyllic apartment in the heart of
Tuscany is one miler to San gimignano and centrally located to all of Tuscany. The bathrooms and kitchen have all been updated within the laat year but the 400 year old farm house retains its charm. You won't find better views anywhere. The proorieter and owner are not delightful and easy to work with.
