The owners were very easy to communicate with and checked on us periodically to ensure all was well and we were enjoying our stay.
There was a lot of room in the house, lovely patio spaces and a big yard, great pool.
The house and property were just as in the description. We were greeted by the host, show around the property. Also had a large assortment of pastries waiting for us. Very nice place.
Thank you to Maria for allowing us to stay here, a lovely large house with a fabulous enclosed garden and pool in a very beautiful part of the world. There were eight adults and there was plenty of room for everyone. Everything was catered for and the owners were very helpful.
Very lovely house. Very well taken care of and Maria is available and very helpful with informationa and directions. Pictures represent "reality". We enjoyed the lovely garden with it's natural shady places to enjoy the day. We were able to make many different day trips and the house lies in a perfect location for Arezzo and Siena. Also the Chianti area including San Gimignano. Very close by there is a fantastic vineyard and winetasting is possible. (in Campogialli follow the sign along the graveyard).
Can fully recommend this property. Thank you Maria and Alesandra for all your tips and help.
Stayed here with my family (5 adults and 4 children under 4.) The property was very nice! The house itself was beautiful and all bedrooms had a door with access to the garden. The garden was large with several places where you can sit either in the sun or in the shadow, so that was perfect!
The owner/hosts were very nice and welcoming. Communication was perfect. When there was a small problem it was handled fast and very accurately!
Location was also very good. The surroundings are beautiful with small villages that have small supermarkets, cafes, nice restaurants and things like that. Large hyper market is a 15-20 min drive. Larger villages/tourist attractions are a little further away; with Arezzo like 30 mins, but Firenze and Sienna at about 45-60 mins. So you have to take that into account, especially with small kids that donât like long drives. Fortunately we did the tourist attractions on previous trips and it was kind of nice to just chill and not do too much at this beautiful property!
La ubicacion de la propiedad es excelente. Su parque, piscina y facilidades de barbacue inmejorables. Los dueños muy amables y eficientes. La amplitud de la casa permite alojarse con comodidad. Los aspectos negativos se refieren a la necesidad de cambiar las camas dado que la mayoria de ellas se hunden. Asimismo recomendamos fumigar dado que en la noche ingresaban grandes insectos. Nos sorprendio que tuvieramos que abonar 25 euros diarios por uso de aire acondicionado al final de la estadia.
Our stay was peaceful, restful, and very enjoyable. The villa and property are so lovely and perfectly suited to our party of five adults, with room to spare. Maria and Alessandra could not have been more kind and welcoming. They graciously accommodated our very late check-in and even had a lovely tray of breakfast essentials prepared for our first morning. If a stay in a Tuscan villa is on your bucket list, this is the perfect location!
Vielen Dank an Maria und ihre Familie. Es war ein rundum schöner Aufenthalt.
Das Haus und der Garten sind noch viel grösser, als angenommen. Der grosszĂŒgige Pool ist ein besonderes Highlight. Wir, 2 Erwachsene + 5 Kinder und eine weitere Erwachsene Person, die uns mit dem Wohnmobil besucht hat, hatten genĂŒgend Platz und PrivatsphĂ€re.
Das Haus und der Garten sind sauber und werden regelmÀssig gepflegt.
Alessandra und Maria waren stets erreichbar, wenn wir eine Frage oder einen Wunsch (Anfrage Ausflugstipps) hatten.
Am Freitag hatten sie sogar noch eine leckere Ăberraschung fĂŒr uns.
Danke fĂŒr den schönen Aufenthalt!
Fazit: sehr empfehlenswert!
Die Lage des Hauses ist sehr gut, um die Toskana zu erkunden. Das Haus hat einen riesigen Garten und sehr groĂen Pool, so dass man wunderbar die Zeit drauĂen genieĂen kann.
Das Haus könnte etwas besser gereinigt sein. Bei unserer Ankunft waren doch relativ viele Spinnweben vorhanden. Auch ein paar der Outdoor-Möbel (Tisch an der Lounge, 2-3 Liegen) könnten mal ausgetauscht werden, da sie in die Jahre gekommen sind.
Die Gastgeber sind sehr herzlich und halten sich angenehm zurĂŒck. Bei Fragen/Problemen sind sie aber sofort zur Stelle und versuchen Abhilfe zu schaffen.
Great villa with beautiful garden and private pool
Location of the villa: Florence, Arezzo and Siena can be reached in less than an hour. Great restaurants and wine tasting are nearby.
Villa: Very well equipped, enough space for 10 people. The owners are very accommodating and charming and are in the immediate vicinity. Very large and beautiful turnaround with great planting and vegetable garden.
We can only recommend this beautiful place!

The house was a lovely Tuscan farm house, located in the hamlet of Campogialli, which is about 15minutes directly east of the town of Montevarchi. Montevarchi is half way between Arezzo and Florence, in the heart of Tuscany! Itâs a beautiful, large ranch home with enough room for our two families and lots of kids. It has a wrap around patio (and in July heat we used every side) with a great pool and view. Rooms are big, bathrooms and kitchen are very clean and nice. Air conditioning in every bedroom and in the main living area. We spent the week lounging and visiting the towns of Arezzo, Cortona, Pienza and Montepulciano and in the evening when we were tiered we went down the road to a very close restaurant called âLo Strettoio Restoranteâ. It had an outdoor area where the kids can play, allowing us parents to relax and drink lots of the house red wine. Restaurant owners are absolutely the best, service is great and the food was some of the best we had in Italy. Note: get directions, itâs hard to find unless youâre a local! Restaurant opens at 7pm and closed on Wednesdays. The days we didnât tour around Tuscany we lounged by the pool and relaxed. Itâs a very comfortable home and would go again. I would give it 8 out of 10 stars easily. Pros: Big rooms, nice bathrooms, good kitchen and amenities, very comfortable couches and spaces to relax, description is very accurate online and most importantly, home owners are extremely nice (real Italian hospitality- they were helpful in every way and even brought over a full spread lunch one day!) Only three real things to note (not cons per se but be aware): One- of the master bedrooms smelled a little like grandmaâs old bedroom, with a bit of a musty smell. Two- itâs Tuscany, everything is growing so bring your allergy medicine (I have particularly bad allergies) and Three- expect bugs. All of them are harmless but there are honey bees and they like to hang out at the pool too when itâs really hot. Tuscany in general can be humid at times, so unless youâre on a high hilltop, everything is alive! Bring bug spray for the kids in the evenings during the summer months. Other notables, make sure you get directions from the home owners on where the Ipercoop (supermarket) is, in Montevarchi and restaurants are. Tuscany is a bit like Pennsylvania, there are no direct roads anywhere and my iPhone maps app could tell me where I was but directions are difficult in rural areas.
