If you want to feel special then your hosts will not disappoint. Once you find the villa - it was a little tricky to find even with a GPS as it is situated in an isolated location- you are made to feel like the long lost relative; warm embraces and appetizers await your arrival. The property offers a pool on top of a hill overlooking vineyards and olive groves as far as the eye can see and although the grounds are tended to almost daily, your privacy is well respected and your every need, tended to. We had to make alternate arrangements for the following week which required changing our flights back to Canada and our host was wonderful enough to print all our boarding documents and bring them to us thus easing our anxiety. This is a place where you will rediscover every star of the galaxy (WOW) and find the tranquility to refresh the soul.

Our family consisting of 10 adults, two youngsters of 8 and 10, and an infant enjoyed the hospitality of Casa Luciana in August of 2012. We all had a wonderful time and were sad when the week came to an end. The amenities and beauty of the villa with the surrounding orchards exceeded our expectations.
The air conditioning was a great help during our stay. The swimming pool and surrounding area were thoroughly enjoyed by all members of the family. We also enjoyed and were very comfortable in the sitting areas around the building. Most of our meals were taken in the outdoor areas and dinners were taken under the canopy at the long table. Three of our dinners were prepared by the chef and her assistant. The food was excellent and everything was well taken care of.
We enthusiastically recommend Casa Luciana for any family wishing to have a memorable and unique vacation.

We were 4 families of 8 adults and 7 teens on a week holiday. We had the most wonderful stay in Villa Pedone! Altho the weather was very hot, we always managed to find some pleasant shade and a bit of breeze. And the pool was very refreshing. The house is beautiful and has a wonderful aspect with views all around. There are also plenty of spaces for everyone to find a little peace, a place for a companionable chat or for the teens to make a joyful noise without disturbing anyone. I must say that AnnaMaria, the caretaker, was amazing. She stocked the house with food, at our request. She also made us 3 delicious dinners which we ate at the big table on the terrace by the pool. Nothing was too much trouble for her - she was a gem. We enjoyed a magical week in Villa Pedone - I hope everyone who visits there will share our experience.

We are a family with two small kids. This was the perfect place for us. It is centrally located and very close to San Gimignano (a beautiful little town with lots of character dinner options in the evenings and off course the best gelaterias). We could balance our holiday relaxing around the beautiful pool with a stunning view or visiting the tourist attractions in the area. With each apartment having a private table area in the garden, we could enjoy lunches outside under the warm Tuscan sun and there is plenty of space for the kids to play outside. I can definitely recommend this very convenient and stylish self-catering accommodation. Everything worked perfectly and the staff was friendly and helpful at all times!

Very nice house, with very nice rooms and excellent swimming pool. Brita (who lives next door and looks after the house and guests) is very helpful. Could do with a few more glasses,crockery and some cooking dishes if catering for parties of 9-10.The house is 1 mile off the road on an unmade road which you have to drive carefully. Otherwise position is excellent for Arezzo, Florence, Siena etc. if you are prepared to drive a little way

Lovely position, and extremely helpful owner, but the information about the property was less than others we stayed in and the lack of cooking facilities and sufficient comfortable seats mean that we would not return. For the price, it did not have as much to offer as other villas we have rented in better areas.
