We were so delighted when we drove up to our villa. It was all we had hoped for and more! The hydrangeas, roses and rosemary were aromatic and welcoming. Our host, Leonardo greeted us warmly and his assistant Roxanna reviewed all the information with us and helped us settle in. Leonardo made dinner reservations for us at a delightful restaurant a couple Km from the villa that evening, the Locanda Borgo Antico. We were warmly greeted and had a great dinner.

Other things to do - there is a pizzaria in Lucolena that has good pizza's and does take out. Not overly friendly. The Castello di Verrazzano, just out of Greve does a wonderful wine tasting/lunch which is definitely worth the 4 hours! [Ask for Gino]. We also lined up a wine tasting with Leonardo, our host, and totally enjoyed it. He takes you through the property and has you sample the wines grown right on the property. He speaks English very well which we appreciated as our Italian is poor at best. Greve has good shopping for wines, oils and a few clothing/leather shops. Also has a nice COOP grocery store [closed 1PM to about 4PM] The train station is in Figline that will take you to the cities.
He also gave us a wine tasting and tour of the property. The wines that are from the property are available for purchase and well stocked in the villa [reasonably priced].

The villa is located about half way between Greve and Figlione. [10 and 8 KM] Good access to shopping and the train. Of course the setting was magnificant! The vineyards were behind the property and the village of Lulolena was very close and lovely to view.

All the bedrooms were spacious and clean. There were personal touches such as pictures and needlepoint. The space for clothing was more that adequate.

The pool area was a wonderful surprise! We had the area to ourselves and spent a lot of time by the pool. Tables and chairs were available and the ground were beautiful! The plants were awesome, rosemary, roses, olive trees, pots of geraniums, hydrangeas...we absolutely loved it.
Sitting by the pool on a sunny afternoon makes the rest of the world seem far away! The only regret we had is that we were not there longer.

I would recommend Tuscany-Villas.it. They did an excellent job, as you can see by the ratings. Everything was as described and there were no problems with our arrival at the property and the stay.

Highly Recommended! Very clean apartment attached to owner's home with amazing views of San Gimignano's towers. The garden was lovely, the location excellent, and the owners were very nice and we never even noticed that their home was attached to our area. We were on our honeymoon and LOVED our stay there!

Palazzo Roasadi is a great place for a group of friends. The garden / lawn was meticulously kept. Beautiful flowers, outdoor gathering areas. Fantastic view of the valley below and Monterchi. Family owned since 1700's. Painstakingly restored to give you a glimpse of Tuscan life. You can tell the family is proud of the home and their heritage.
Owner was there every morning to help with any questions we had. Arranged bicycles for us (they were delivered, fit to us and picked up when we were finished). Helped us with places to go (best Tuscan towns in the area), restaurant reservations, places to find food, etc. Owner's father cooked us a fantastic welcoming "Tuscan" dinner (complete with wine). Gave us history of the house, history of the area, etc.
Grounds were excellent. At the top of a hill in a small village. Great area to run, hike, walk or bike nearby. Our group travels one or twice per year together and we were very lucky to have found Palazzo Rosadi! We typically do not return to the same area each year, but if we did, we would definitely return to Palazzo Rosadi! Locals were very friendly, helpful and welcoming. We had a wonderful vacation! Specialy thanks to the owners for their hosptiality. We felt that we were visiting friends more than paying guests!

This property was set on the top of hill which gave you privacy and excellent veiws of the countryside. Pool was excellent and very much enjoyed by the kids. Tuscanny is a stunning place to visit, people are very friendly and it is an easy place to get around (Car hire is a must for this villa). Will definately come back to the area again. Richard B.

This villa is very small, but beautifully formed! It has all the essential things you need, including kitchen area with fridge, microwave and oven. The location is fantastic, with the views over the Tuscan countryside from the pool and the main bedroom being second to none! A car is definitely needed for the visits to the hilltop villages, and the closest restaurant Antico Desco is highly recommended. I would highly recommend this villa, but if you're wanting it to be completely without anyone close by you might be disappointed as it's on the same site as the vineyard house but that caused absolutely no problems whatsoever as the owners were on hand to help with anything we needed. Don't be put off by the cars in the driveway as you approach, they're vineyard workers who aren't around during the day at all, but neither will you be with so much to explore! Take your own beach towels though as the ones provided aren't really suitable for outdoors. The pool is very cold, but with the beautiful views surrounding it, who cares! Highly, highly recommended.

The house was perfect for the group. Four bedrooms with 5 beds worked out great as most of the people were single. The facilities were charming, clean and sufficient. The owners provided a booklet of information on local restaurants, train schedules and area interests. It was most helpful. The villa was ideally located for travelling in the Tuscany region. We were only ~ 20 minutes from the autostrada. You do need a car though.

This is a very relaxing, beatiful place.The photos didn't do it juctice.
The garden is huge and very well maintained.
The owners take great pride in this villa and it shows.
In my opinion it is the right size for a couple but no more.
Be prepared for the journey to the top of the mounatin to get to the villa but if isolation, quiet and gorgeous views are what you are after yo have come to the right place.
