We stayed at Casale Rosanna for 1 week in May,which was the last week of our 6 week holiday travelling around Europe. On our arrival we were greeted by the lovely owners who made us feel very welcome.
From our private terrace of the villa we felt as though we could see half of Tuscany - just beautiful!! We also had a spectacular view of San Gimignano from the property. Staying at Casale Rosanna was a wonderful & relaxing way to spend the last week of our holiday before returning home. We would definitely recommend Casale Rosanna to our family & friends and hope that sometime in the future we are able to return again.

The villa was truly breathtaking, everything i expected and more!! the owner was lovely and very helpful. there were great places to see car ride away and i would recommend you make time to visit nearby villages and towns. The local supermarket owner was very welcoming and helpful. Highly recommend the chef (Barbara) she made the most delicious food. Overall i loved the whole experience and easy reserve were very professional to deal with.

The house in Poggio Nardini was a nice and clean house. Very near Florence (can be reached within half an hour by car). Poggio Nardini is a small Agriturismo with 7 appartments who all look nice and authentic. The beds were very well, but the kitchen and bathroom a bit older.
The only thing is that the three older sisters who run the place are very 'present'. For example, our children can swim very well (Dutch 'C diploma'), but weren't allowed to swim on their own in the pool, although we explained it to the sisters. We also found that the owners were a bit pushy with the weekly dinner on thursday. It didn't feel as if it was your own choice.
But over all we had a nice holiday in beautiful Tuscany.

What a beautiful villa and very friendly owners. There is everything you might need upon arrival to from a bottle of water to breakfast croissants! Shower room spacious and even a hair dryer provided ladies! House is in splendid order and the views breathtaking. The private pool is wonderful along with outside shower and BBQ. I would thoroughly recommend Casa Simona for a little private getaway. Close to San Gimignano and easy drive to Pisa/Siena/Volterra/Monteriggiano/Lucca. We would like to return in the summer.

My Family and I just returned from Siena and were fortunate enough to stay at the Villa Caprera. We thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful apartment and the hospitality of the Bencini family. The Villa is a very nice marriage of the old and new. The place is fully renovated and accommodated 5 very comfortably. Everything has been lovingly renovated by the family's architect daughter. We stayed in the tower room which was beautiful albeit a little noisy at first light due to the birds but some ear plugs solved that problem. The owner's are on premises and are such kind people. Danielle baked us a cake and brought us fresh eggs and her husband Mario even offered to drive us into town the first night since we didn't have our rental car until the next day. It was just a wonderful, welcoming experience and we are very thankful for the memories. Extras: views of Siena, there is a small market right down the street, a small garden area with a grill, and Ilda the very friendly Nonna who will speak to you in Italian no matter if you understand or not. Negatives: nothing really, some low hallway ceilings so watch your head when heading to the bathroom. John N.- Washington, DC
