This is a FABULOUS house!!! My husband and I traveled with our 2 daughters (9 and 11) and my mother-in-law. The space was perfect. The property, which was built by the owner himself, is beautifully constructed. We were there in October so the pool was a little chilly, but the tennis court and basketball hoops were a godsend during our "quiet" time. The town of Cavriglia was quaint and everyone was very helpful to us "Americans". We ate in two restaurants in town that were quite good. Overall we would stay here again and again. I am trying to talk my brother and his family into going next summer.

Guardastelle is a beautiful and well-appointed property in an amazing location. Susanna - the owner - was very friendly and acommodating. The property has a small bed and breakfast inn as well as several apartments. We stayed in one of the apartments and absolutely loved it. Guardastelle also has wine and olive oil tasting. The property is a short walk (15 min) or drive (3 min) away from the incredibly beautiful town of San Gimignano, with many excellent restaurants and ceramics shops. It's also close to wine areas of Chianti and Montalcino for those interested in tasting wine, and is about an hour away from Siena and Florence. Our stay was very relaxing and enjoyable; we will definitely go back.

My family stayed in 3 of the properties at Rosa dei Venti and all were wonderful. All the properties were clean and everything was working properly. All the windows have screens on them which is a major plus! All the appliances are up-to-date and working. Barbara and Stefano are fantastic hosts. The property is beautiful. I highly recommend this property.

Great location but need to be fit as our apartment was on the 3rd floor but the views were worth the extra effort. Restaurants & shops priced up a bit for tourists but again the experiences are worth every euro. If staying more than a few days you'll want a car to do a bit of touring of the surrounding towns and countryside. Overall a great tuscanny experience.

Bottino is even more beautiful than the photos. It's a very comfortable home, with picturebook views, and lots of interesting places to visit nearby (if you feel like tearing yourself away from the terrace and the beautiful setting). Of the places I've rented, this is tops for bathroom joys (water pressure, hot water and giant bath sheets).
