Our family of five stayed here for a week. It was a great place to come back to after day trips to Sienna, Florence, Pisa, Volterra, etc. Super quiet and relaxing. Itâs a little bit out of the way, but the extra driving was worth it to us.
We loved our stay here. It was a little challenging to find the first time but so nice and quiet. Everything was as just as described. It was a wonderful experience.
The house is well equipped and perfect if you are looking for a quiet and out of the way house. Still a quick drive to Siena where everything can be found.
would definitely recommend.
We were very impressed with Villa Simo. The location was magnificent, with views that we will remember forever. Simonetta was a perfect hostess and always available for contact. The home was perfect for our family group, and we enjoyed cooking and entertaining during our stay. Looking forward to returning someday.
Deciding to spend our summer holiday under the Tuscan sun at Villasimo was the gift that kept on giving. The pictures for this posting on VRBO, while beautiful, do not do this place justice. We have stayed at other homes in the area before, but this one had the perfect mix.Situated between old live trees and Chianti vineyards, with a pool sitting out on a perch overlooking a valley and hills with villages, ancient castles, vineyards - along with absolute peace and exclusivity - this place was amazing. The view from the pool was like being in a live-painting - the clouds even had personality. We enjoyed evenings watching the dusk settle over the valley from the outdoor patio. Balanced with being secluded, the villa is also near towns, a 5-star hotel with a michelin star restaurant next door, and vineyards for winetasting. The road which we jogged could see views of Siena over the vineyards right from the other side of their hill. Last, but certainly not least, the hosts Cristiano and Simonetta were fantastic. The house was in great condition, had everything we needed, a thorough walk through, welcome treats, and were very attentive. They made sure we had privacy and were able to enjoy our weeks in their family home. Would love to stay here again and recommend it.
Phantastic location in an outstanding Tuscan landscape
We had an outstanding week in an gorgeous estate in the middle of a splendid Tuscan landscape. The house was very tastefully decorated, the climatization was brand new and perfectly working and really nothing was missing and everything was in the best status possible. The whole organisation from checkin to checkout was seemless, the pool temperature perfect.The whole group loved the house and the enviroment.
We recently stayed here for a week's holiday. We loved the farmhouse. It had everything we needed for our family of 6. Simonetta was very easy to work with. She answered all of our questions quickly and was at the property to greet us and show us the home. She even cooked us an authentic Italian dinner the first night there. The food and hospitality was like we had never experienced!!!! We plan on visiting again!!!!
The location is faultless and we had fun with many features of the property- the open fire in the living room, the outdoor pizza oven, the olive groves to wander around. It was April so the pool wasnât quite open but we knew that before booking.
Great bedrooms and a fab dining space. We were offered a banquet on the second night (additional cost) and after seeing the menus on offer decided to go with it... it was wonderful- great food and a lovely experience.
Overall a great stay- thanks Simonetta
This villa is stunning. The view from the pool is breathtaking with Castel Brollio in the distance. It's remoteness is ideal to get away from it all but still only a 20 minute drive from Siena and the Chianti villages. It's very well equipped and spacious. Couldn't fault it in any way. The modern sculpture park in the village is definitely worth a look. We saw deer in the grounds of the villa, fig and olive trees. Absolute paradise
The best hide away. Total sanctuary from todayâs world.
Our adult family had a wonderful week staying at the house, enjoying the space and peace. Itâs hidden away down a very bumpy lane. I suggest no low cars if you are lucky enough to visit. An excellent base from which to explore Tuscany.
The property is beautifully restored and very well maintained. It is surrounded by olive and fig trees with its own herd of deer who normally appear late at night to chomp on the grass. If you love being embraced by nature this is the place for you.
Thank you to the wonderful (& extremely helpful) owners for sharing.
The property was even better than advertised. Location was 20 minutes outside of Siena but in a beautiful rural setting. Home was immaculate and very well appointed for our stay. We had 8 people and we had plenty of room to relax and spread out. Outdoor area was beautiful, pool area was very inviting and a great option when we wanted a day to relax. Scenery was amazing and every room had beautiful view of the Tuscan hills and the beautiful property. We would highly recommend this as a place to stay in Tuscany as it was 45-1 hour away from all the great places to visit in Tuscany: Florence, Siena, San Gimignano, Moltipuciano, and Cortona. Hosts were very welcoming and responsive to questions and communication. We would love to go back now!
We were 3 adults, and we spent 5 lovely days at the Villa. We loved the house and the surroundings very much!We couldn't stop admiring the view from every window and from the yard. The serenity in the mornings was so calming.The house has a good atmosphere, and we liked the design. The kitchen is well equipped.There is a washing machine which we didn't use (no dryer).There is a lovely swimming pool, but we didn't use it either.There are few steps between each 2 rooms in the house, so we wouldn't recommend it for very young kids or elderly people.2 important things to know:- The road from the main road to the house was in VERY poor condition. This could be very challenging for a 'regular'/low rented car. Luckly, we rented a Jeep.We understood this is not the usual condition of the road but one needs to take it into consideration.- Please note there is an additional fee per electricity and gas consumption. This was not a surprise. But take into account this can sum up to a considerable amount. For us, not spending the daytime there (just nights) it was around 250 Euro for 5 nights. The area is also lovely and there is also much you can do without driving too far:Visiting Siena, Wine tasting in one of the many wineries in the area, Visiting 'Parco sculture di Chianti' which we strongly recommend â it's an open park with sculptures integrated in the natural environment.To summarize: The Villa was a great place to spend our Tuscany vacation and we LOVED it!
Our family of 6 (4 adults and 2 kids) had an incredible time at this property. Clean, spacious well-appointed home with the most stunning panoramic views over the Tuscan hills, and lovely pool area. The hosts warmly welcomed us at check in and had even left us a homemade chocolate cake which was incredible. The home was very clean, each bedroom was very spacious and equipped with AC, and it is very isolated so we appreciated the tranquility and privacy. A car would be a must to stay at this property in our opinion, given the remoteness. Siena was an easy ~20 minute drive and grocery stores/pizzerias/etc are about 15 mins by car.
We have to give a special thank you to the host, Cristiano. One person in our group fell quite ill during our week there and not speaking the language, we reached out to Cristiano and he was such an incredible help, I donât know what we wouldâve done without him. He went above and beyond helping us see a doctor and we are so thankful!
We had such a fantastic time and would return again in a heartbeat. Thank you Simonetta and Cristiano.
Un lieu merveilleux au milieu d'une Toscane extraordinaire ! La maison est particuliĂšrement confortable. La wifi un peu faible mais ce n'est pas grave.
