Tuscany Villa Rental Guest Reviews

Nicely situated between Pisa and Florence, within short driving distance from a lot of beautiful towns and villages. Not possible to walk to the nearest village, due to very narrow road and no pavement. On the whole, a very good experience in Tuscany.

If you are searching for peace and privacy, this is the place to be. The house is located on a small hill in a beautiful landscape with no houses nearby. The location is more beautiful than the pictures show you. The pool is perfect, the house is very well equipped and nicely decorated. We had a perfect vacation!

Our family had a wonderful time staying at Fattoria Pogni for a week in early July.

The location is ideal to explore all of Tuscany. In eays day-trips, we covered Florence, Sienna, Pisa and the Montalcino/Montepulciano regions.

The property itself is wonderful - our two bedroom unit was well appointed and the grounds are very nice; with a lovely pool, tennis court and field for the kids to run around in.

Massimo (the owner) is extremely gracious and helpful. He had gifted us a few 'starter' items like olive oil, some fruit and wine. He was able to provide excellent dining recommendations on the evenings when we felt like going out (both casual dining and fine dining) and he is around to answer other questions you may have.

Overall - a great vacation and we are thinking of returning next year with more of our extended family.

The property is easily accessible near the main motorway, but far away enough to be very peaceful with beautiful views of the local countryside. The owner was very friendly and helpful and went out of his way to get us coals for the BBQ when we ran out. The villa is very clean and comfortable and is generally well-equipped although it would benefit from a few more items of crockery and cooking utensils, especially if more than 4 people are staying. The pool and outside area is fantastic and perfect for al fresco dining - bring the mozzy spray though!

We spent a wonderful week with our 3 children at Montefili. The location is very isolated and has a beautiful view of sweeping Tuscan hills. The hosts Roberto and Elena are extremely gracious and helpful, and they speak very good English. The rental unit was cool even in the 37 degree heat, with tile floors and thick walls. It really had the feeling of a Tuscan farmhouse, but an elegant one. Swimming pool was fun for the kids, and our hosts provided us with wonderful restaurant (off the beaten path) and winery recommendations. Would stay here again.

Il Doccio was the perfect place for our group of 11 people which included three children under 9 and two teenagers. The facility was very clean and the 16 rooms (7 BR/BA) gave everyone their own space the verandas and dining rooms were large enough where we could easily gather. We spent most days touring Florence (by train), Siena and the Chianti region (by car)and usually returned by early evening. During our stay the temperatures were 90-100F and the spotless pool was a very welcome oasis especially for the younger children when we returned from our day of touring. We highly recommend having a dinner with the family they are very gracious hosts, the dinner is casual and relaxing and Marina is an excellent cook, her Tuscan meals were delicious. The rest of the villa owner's family speak good English and can provide valuable tips of the area. It was a wonderful vacation!

The property is in a beautiful but quiet location surrounded by vineyards and spectacular Tuscan scenery. The apartment was spacious and generally cool inside despite the high temperatures outside. The pool area is superb with extensive paving and plenty of sun-loungers.
Our only gripes were minor. The beds are very firm and there is only one thin pillow per person; perhaps the owner could supply more for different sleeping preferences.
The regulations request that the pool is not used after 8pm. After a long hot day slogging round the tourist dens of Siena and Florence an evening swim is exactly what is required!
Overall a lovely family holiday though.

We loved our stay. This was a wonderful place to unwind. The apartment was clean, comfortable and as lovely as advertised. The pool was beautiful. The setting was absolutely gorgeous. From this location we visited Florence, Siena and San Gimignano.
