We have had a magnificent time with our stay at the Castle at Montegugoni . We rented one of the villas inside the castle for the month and had 4 of our children come and visit witn us for a week . The staff were lovely and very helpful . The restaurant on site was so handy for meals and very accommodating for when our family were there. The country side is beautiful and surroundings villages are very accessible from the castle with your car . There is plenty of information given to you by staff for all surrounding villages . It is only about 29 km from Florence and we made at least 8 visits there . We made trips from there to Rome , Assisi ,Cinque Terre, Pisa , San Giminano , Seina,and Arezzo . A lovely winery up the road from the Castle is fascinating and one of the most prestigious Italian wine makers Frescobaldi Family . I have no hesitation in recommending Castle Di Montegufoin to fellow travellers.

We would be very pleased if you could pass on our thanks to both Aida and Massimo who acted as perfect hosts for our villa. We are sorry that our Italian is not up to explaining our thanks in the local language.
The only comment we can think of to improve the whole experience would be if the directions to the property could be updated, since on ‘final approach’ the lone pine tree is no longer standing – and confused all three groups that drove to the property.
Other than that, the greeting (along with grapes and olive oil), the help during our stay, the house, pool, gardens, location, ability to walk to town, local restaurants, etc was absolutely perfect. Thank you.

This is our third stay at this beautiful villa and we feel like we are coming "home" when we arrive. The villa is situated in a spectacular position to enjoy the beautiful Tuscan countryside, with views of the Banfi castle and the small village of Camigliano across the valley. The caretaker for the villa, Tiziana, is very helpful and is a wonderful cook as well. The wine made from the vineyards on the property is excellent and we are so appreciative that the wine makers share it with us. The ability to rent additional rooms if the group is larger provides great flexibility when booking this villa. This is one of my favorite places to stay in Italy and would highly recommend it.

Our group ( 4 couples ) booked this villa on the recommendation of work colleagues and the basis of reviews. We were not disappointed . The location on a hillside in Ripoli near Monterchi provides wonderful views and allows easy access to towns such as Citerna and Anghiari. Arezzo is half an hour away and worth a visit as well as providing access to the train to Florence. The villa is very comfortable with plenty of indoor and outdoor areas to relax and eat and drink. The tower is a must for afternoon drinks to enjoy the view down the valley. The kitchen is well equipped complete with dishwasher allowing groups to prepare their own meals. There are restaurants near Monterchi in Citerna ( the Belvedre), on the road to Citta Di Castello (Pieva la Vecchia) and at La Ville (pizzas). The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable and ensuite bathrooms are clean and adequate. rosado, the owner, is extremely helpful and endeavours to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Overall, we all agreed it was the perfect way to spend two weeks in Italy.

We stayed in Terrazza which as the name suggests has a wonderful elevated terrace looking out of the private gardens and tuscan country side. The property itself is very good. The features of the property are the outside gardens and pool with are fantastic. Riccardo is a warm and gracious host.

We thoroughly enjoyed the property, with it's spectacular views and spacious bedrooms. It's quiet and very peaceful. Very good value for money. Walking distance to San Gimignano which was great, as parking is not easy. Great location for other trips to Tuscan towns (Florence, Siena, Volterra). The property needs a view more supplies with respect to crockery, glassware and general supplies (toilet paper, dish/dishwasher soap, salt, pepper, olive oil (basic kitchen requirements, etc.).
