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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
Met gezin van 8 volwassenen een week verbleven in deze geweldige villa. Mooie kamers, een geweldige tuin met heerlijk zwembad! Het ligt wat afgelegen en een half uurtje rijden voor de supermarkt, maar voor ons gezin was dat geen probleem.
Pizzaâs gebakken in de pizza oven, de keuken was ook ruim voorzien van spullen. Siena is een half uurtje rijden. Aantal wijnhuizen in de buurt bezocht. En ook een aantal keren heerlijk gegeten bij geweldige restaurants in de buurt of iets verder weg.
Wij raden deze locatie zeker aan!
Traumhafter Urlaub in einer wunderbaren Landschaft
Wir waren 5 Personen und hatten einen wundervollen Urlaub in dem abseits gelegenen und sehr gut ausgestatteten Ferienhaus inmitten eines sehr gepflegten GrundstĂŒcks. Die Kommunikation mit Simonetta war ausgesprochen freundlich und zuvorkommend. Sie war jederzeit zu erreichen und hat aufgetretene Probleme rasch gelöst. Die Zufahrt zum Haus war zunĂ€chst etwas schwierig zu finden und ist fĂŒr tiefer gelegte Fahrzeuge nicht zu empfehlen. Insgesamt haben wir den Urlaub in diesem Haus sehr genossen und können es guten Gewissens empfehlen.
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 loved this 100 year old farm house surrounded by olive trees and wineries. Beautiful views and it was wonderful starting a fire in the huge fireplace. We loved it.
Dream vacation in Chianti. 1000 year old farm house with everything we needed. Tuscan hilltop with beautiful views. Our hosts drove from Rome to meet us and showed us everything in the villa to get started. Eight family members were very comfortable. Be prepared to drive 10 -20 minutes for restaurants and groceries.
Wir waren 2 Wochen mit Familie und Freunden in dem Haus und haben die Zeit sehr genossen. Die EigentĂŒmer sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit und stehen immer zur VerfĂŒgung wenn es Fragen gibt.
Ideal house with lovely pool.
Clean, had everything you needed.
Out in the hills, so needed to jump into the car to get anywhere but if you are looking for a quiet spot it's ideal.
This location is absolutely perfect if you want quiet and distant rural views. It was hot while we were there so the pool was a beautiful necessity. Siena is nearby, and local restaurants are even closer. To be able to walk to two vineyards for wine tasting was an added bonus. Our hosts were a delight to deal with throughout the two and a half years that it took us to complete this trip. We cannot recommend it highly enough - fantastic!
