Our stay at Villa Carolina was fantastic! At the first evening, we enjoyed a delicious pizza prepared by our hosts. Also the local wine tasted very well, ... we could use a drink after climbing with our cars at the top of the hill, where the villa is located, which indeed offers a breathtaking view of Poggibonsi,... We had everything we needed in the villa. The kids had a wonderfull time in the swimming pool and also the adults could use some refreshment in this african-atmosphere (40°C). The villa is perfectly located to visit San Gimignano, Poggibonsi, ... We wish the hosts Lucia & Gabrielle and daughter Carol all the best! And we surely hope to come back one day !!! Fam. Timperman.

We loved our stay at Villa Caprera. The unit is really beautiful and has a very modern kitchen. The owners were very friendly and made us feel at home, helping us with our travel plans and organising restaurants etc. Nothing was a problem to them! We loved every minute of our stay and would highly recommend Villa Caprera.

We had the pleasure of staying at Chianti 6 recently and it was wonderful. The views from the villa are beautiful and the entire Chianti area was a pleasure to visit. The villa was updated with plenty of room and we enjoyed the nice kitchen and living areas, as well as the updated shower. The only drawback is the road leading up to the villa, it is full of potholes and needs to be leveled a bit, but it is not too far. Otherwise we had a great experience. The booking system weas very easy and the email updates were thorough and helpful.

I stayed with 6 members of my family in the Il Padronale flat. It was very large and spacious, the 7 of us never felt crowded, actually a few of us got lost inside! The beds were large and comfortable and so were all but one of the 4 bathrooms. Sergio and Stefano made us a lovely dinner the night we arrived, even though we got horribly lost and arrived later then planned. The food was amazing and our hosts were not invasive, we waved every morning on our way out and the second morning Stefano brought us bread and milk, we purchased, from the local market. That was nice as the closest one is 10 miles away. We loved the remote, quiet and beautiful location but I will say finding it was not easy at all. We had several maps and a GPS unit and still, every night it took us at least 2 hours to find it and we never found the same way back, which was frustrating. Very few signs indicating San Polo was another frustration. I'm sure not everyone will have such navigation problems and it is no reflection on the lovely stay we had. We looked at our rides back to the Villa as part of our Tuscan adventure and we found many charming towns through out Chianti while lost! The grounds of the Villa were beautiful with flowers, trees, grass and olive groves. You have to purchase their amazing olive oil at the Villa, I have never seen it so green and tasty! I would recommend the Villa and I would stay again myself, especially now that I know the mountain roads. I would also advise new travelers that the paved road ends onto a dirt road so take that into consideration when renting your car.
