A Great Tuscany Retreat!
My family (6 of us, all adults) spent a week at this lovely farmhouse in Tuscany. The host is amazing and made sure we are comfortable and nothing is missing, she gave us a great and educational olive oil and wine tasting, the property is wonderful with olive trees all around and a large pool to enjoy, every bedroom had its own bathroom and the location is perfect for day excursions to see much of what Tuscany had to offer. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful agriturismo only a few minutes walk from beautiful Montecarlo
This property honestly exceeded our expectations. Fantastic facilities, lovely shared pool with specially assigned seating for only a few other guests. All the staff we dealt with were super helpful and we thoroughly enjoyed our wine and olive oil tasting with Erika. The restaurant associated with the property - Osteria del Vecchio Olivo is authentic and good value. Only a 5 minute walk up the hill to picturesque Montecarlo which has lots of good restaurants. Thoroughly recommend this family run agriturismo!

Everything you want it to be!
The Stefanini property is absolutely phenomenal. I was looking for a farmhouse in the olive and wine area between Firenza and Pisa, this more than fit the bill. Every morning starting with a walk through the olive groves and a swim in the wonderful pool. Sylvia was great and both Erika and Arianna were wonderful. The Oil Olivo from the property is the best and the wines "so good". We were there during the Festival in September and found the region to be peaceful and scrumptious. The Ristorante Osteria Del Vechio Olivo is fantastic. A great point of reference for going into Firenza, Lucca, Pisa, and north to Lago di Pontecosi. If you're looking to relax, eat well, and enjoy Tuscany ... this is the place.

Amazing spot in the hills
We were an extended family group of 7, this house fit all of us and our needs. We had enough bedrooms and bathrooms. We had seating upstairs in the loft and downstairs in the open living space, it was perfect! Dealing with Luca was great, we had an emergency and he was available and texted me the directions to the nearest hospital and even checked up to make sure we found it. We had dinner at the restaurant that is on the estate and it was delicious. The food and the service was phenomenal and because we were staying at the house we got a discount. I would stay there again in a heartbeat. Thank You Luca!

Gorgeous character villa in stunning location
We stayed for 10 days, the villa was full of character, well looked after and well equipped. Luca was a wonderful host, checking in regularly to make sure that we had everything we needed. The restaurant up the road, that is run by the owners of the villa, is just superb. We had a wonderful stay, highly recommended.

Great location with incredibly friendly staff.
The house was a good size for our three families, it was clean and linen was changed in the middle of our two week stay. It is located in a great area for exploring and Montecarlo is lovely. Luca was incredibly helpful, and we enjoyed the oil and wine tasting. Mosquitoes and heat are definitely an issue in August, air conditioning units for the bedrooms would be advisable. There also appeared to be a nightly event in the valley for 1 week of our stay which meant loud music until sometimes 1am. On one side of the house we could not have our windows open on these nights, it was so loud. Overall would highly recommend this area and this property, just avoid August!

Joyful family holiday
Great place for a family holiday, eight adults and a two year old. We all enjoyed the pool and sitting outside for meals, though come prepared for biting insects. Comfy beds and ensuites great. Hot at night, should have gotten round to asking for fans. Wine and olive tour wonderful and we thoroughly enjoyed the estate wine and restaurant. Luca, the manager, very helpful. Local area delightful and easy to get to interesting local places, Lucca, Collodi and Montecatini Alto were fun.

Idyllic farmhouse in the charming Tuscan village of Montecarlo. Immaculate, spacious, in suite rooms
We were three couples from the US traveling together. The location was perfect for day trips to Tuscan villages. Before and during our trip, Luca was a gracious host who provided us with much information. Don’t miss Luca’s wine and olive oil tasting, the fabulous family restaurant, and the tour of the medieval fortress in the village of Montecarlo by property manager Walter. This was truly a vacation to treasure. We highly recommend staying at this farmhouse.

Wonderful Farmhouse in a beautiful setting
We simply could not have chosen a better property in the Montecarlo area than this one! Our group of 6 adults were warmly met by Luca, who showed us around the farmhouse. One of the best features of the home was the individual bathrooms attached to each of the four bedrooms. The setting, located in a grove of olive trees on a working farm, was magical, with views of the tower in Montecarlo and far-off vistas of the valleys below. The building was of newer construction, but was made to look and feel like an old farmhouse. It was the best of both worlds. Although we did not swim, the pool area was spacious and inviting. I would highly recommend this property.

Stay with the Best
This gorgeous and comfortable restored farmhouse was our home for several nights visiting the area. Our group was 2 couples and we had a choice of 4 beautiful bedrooms with 4 ensure bathrooms. It could hold quite a group. The beds were comfortable and all rooms were appointed with some antiques with modern amenities. We were just down the road from the owners restaurant which had exquisite food, very well priced. Lucca, our contact, was invaluable. He greeted us with a bottle of the wine produced with their own grapes. Luca hosted a wine and olive oil tasting that was entertaining and informative. We enjoyed the more rural area but were not far from any of the popular tourist areas. We all agree we wouldn't hesitate to recommend or revisit ❤

Fabulous farmhouse
The farmhouse was everything we had hoped for, beautiful scenery and clean, spacious accommodation. Lucca who met us at the farmhouse was friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Would recommend a trip to the restaurant that is also part of the farm estate, we ate there three nights, as there is so much choice on the menu.

Top quality villa with 'en suite' for all and super location
What a lovely villa . Close to an attractive hill top town with excellent restaurants and handy local shopping. The owners have a restaurant very close with super food at very affordable prices. The villa had just about everything needed for trouble free stay . The host Luca was very attentive and did all necessary to ensure all was well . He even gave us a private 'tasting tour' of their own wine and olive oil in the exhibition facility on site 😊. The villa and pool were spotless and with the only omission of a microwave had all the equipment required , including a BBQ. Overall a very happy time spent in comfortable attractive surroundings, ideal for a relaxing holiday or day trips to Pisa, Lucca, Firenze, Sienna and San Gimignano

The Perfect Tuscany Farmhouse ...
From the moment we entered the farmhouse until we left our family’s experience was excellent from beginning to end. Though there were many photos of the farmhouse to view before booking our time there, it was even more beautiful in person, done in an updated but old world style … nicer than we imagined. The property was quiet, comfy and we also appreciated the added feature of a security gate. It was quiet yet comfy offering wonderful “family” space where we were all able to congregate (in the living room/dining area) to make plans morning and evening. The four bedrooms, each as nice as the other, an en-suite bathroom for each, made the short time we slept more than comfortable and easy. Everything was very clean. Everything worked perfectly and/or as it should have. Luca, our wonderful liaison for the property worked overtime sending us directions to all the places we wished to see, as well as the most helpful tips ever. He made it easy for us to go where we wanted to go and see what we wanted to see. He also was very quick to respond to several personal requests from my family. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. Thank you Luca.  We also enjoyed a magical night eating at Osteria Del Vecchio (their family restaurant), and, with a nice surprise of 10% discount. We walked outside to our table for seven at the end of a path through a lovely intimate enclosed garden filled with flowers, greenery and beautiful hanging lights … not too many … just enough to make the garden glow beautifully on our lovely summer night. We all experienced an amazing dinner in a fairy tale garden setting. It seemed as if the setting and surroundings as well as the dinner, in that setting were exactly what a perfect Tuscan dinner on a perfect summer night would include ... just perfect. (I would, if I could, request some photos of Osteria Del Vecchio in the listing.) We also had a wonderful tour of their very special vineyard, tasting wonderful wines and olive oil from their own olive groves … most of which we purchased to enjoy at home. This trip was a gift from my family for my 70th birthday … a trip I’ve wanted all my life. Of the ten glorious days we spent in Italy, and our accommodations in Venice and Rome in addition to the farmhouse, I can easily say we enjoyed our time at the farmhouse best of all for all the reasons that make a stay away from home so special. Thank you so much for your hospitality and caring Simone and Luca. I can’t wait to go back. :)

We had a fantastic time and we couldn't fault either the accommodation or the location. Two families shared the house and really you couldn't ask for better, it is a really comfortable place to stay. The bedrooms are large, as too are the kitchen and both living spaces, all four bathrooms are also very well equipped and everything in the house worked. It was very clean on arrival and the owner could not have been more helpful. It is also on a really lovely site, the swimming pool and grounds were well cared for and being within walking distance of Montecarlo, a lovely little hilltop town with excellent restaurants and a great atmosphere, it stopped any arguments about whose turn it was to drive home.

Schöner Aufenthalt in der Toscana
Alles in allem gut, durch die hohe Bewertung 10,0 bei 53 Bewertungen waren unsere Erwartungen sehr hoch. Da die letzte Unterkunft bei 9,3 lag und m.E. noch besser ausgestattet war, waren wir zwangsläufig etwas enttäuscht. Auch darüber, dass wir kein eigenes Haus sondern eigentlich eine Maisonette-Wohnung in einem Haus hatten, da das Haus im 1.OG durch eine abgesperrte Türe und unten durch eine mittels Platte geschlossenen Durchgang asymmetrisch geteilt ist. Im OG hatte man auch immer wieder mal Zigarettenrauch. Für Formaldehyd-Allergiker, wie in meinem Fall, ein Manko. Auch gab es Unklarheiten hinsichtlich der Klimaanlage, ob diese in dem Mietpreis enthalten ist oder extra bezahlt werden muss. Die Klärung dieser Frage hat am ersten Tag einige Zeit in Anspruch genommen.

Der Kontakt mit dem Anbieter ist sowohl im Vorfeld als auch während des Urlaub's exzellent. Täglich kam Arianna vorbei, ob alles ok ist. Das Haus ist wie beschrieben. Der Pool ist groß und es gibt pro Haus ausreichend Liegen und Schirme. Im fußläufig entfernten eigenen "Ristorante Osteria Del Vecchio Olivo" erhält man 10% Ermäßigung. Wir haben an der angebotenen, kostenfreien Olivenöl-Produktions-Führung und Verkostung teilgenommen und von hauseigenem Olivenöl und Wein reichlich mit nach Hause genommen. Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Urlaub.

Wunderbar und absolut empfehlenswert
Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt in Montecarlo sehr genossen. Zu jeder Zeit fühlten wir uns gut betreut. Der CheckIn war optimal und die Räumlichkeiten sehr sauber. Die Küchenausstattung lässt keine Wünsche übrig. Ein Küchengerät hat nicht funktioniert, doch das Problem wurde von Arianna innerhalb von 5 Minuten gelöst. Schneller geht es nun wirklich nicht. Die private Olivenöl- und Weinverkostung war sehr informativ und lecker. Wir hatten zu keiner Zeit das Gefühl kaufen zu müssen. Sowohl das Olivenöl, als auch der Wein waren jedoch so lecker, dass wir uns gerne für zu Hause eingedeckt haben. Das Essen in der dazugehörenden Osteria sollte man sich auf gar keinen Fall entgehen lassen. Das Risotto war die reinste Gaumenfreude und auch die Pizzen waren extrem lecker. Für uns war es ein rundum gelungener Aufenthalt, den wir uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.

Entspannter Familienurlaub
Schönes großes Haus mit drei Schlafzimmern, jedes mit eigenem Bad. Jedes Bad hat eine Dusche. Großes Wohnzimmer und Küche mit Esstisch. Waschmaschine und Spülmaschine sind vorhanden. Zum Pool läuft man 20 Meter den Weg entlang und jedes Haus hat seine eigenen Liegen. Unsere beiden Töchter haben gern auf der Wiese und dem Pool gespielt. Die Anlage liegt mitten in einem Olivenhain. Sehr schön grün und ruhig. Nach Montecarlo sind es 2 Min mit dem Auto und 10 Min zu Fuß. Das angeschlossene Restaurant ist gut und es gibt viele weitere sehr gute Restaurants in der näheren Umgebung. Alles ist gut geplfegt und hat funktioniert. Die Vermieter sind erreichbar, falls man etwas braucht und der Gärtner nimmt täglich den Müll mit, wenn nötig.

Super schöner Aufenthalt
Von der Ankunft bis zur Abreise haben wir uns total wohl gefühlt. Der Empfang durch Arianna beim Einchecken war sehr herzlich und total nett. Sie hat uns das Haus gezeigt und sie war den kompletten Aufenthalt bei allen Fragen und Anliegen für uns da, war echt super!!! Das Haus war absolut sauber, hätte wirklich nicht besser sein können. Die Lage ist sehr ruhig aber dennoch nah am Ort Montecarlo! Die Ausstattung im Haus war ebenfalls sehr gut, es war alles da was man braucht und es war alles in tadellosem Zustand. Der Pool war noch etwas kalt (was aber Anfang Mai nicht verwunderlich ist) aber auch der war total sauber, hat so ausgesehen als ob er jeden Tag gereinigt wird. Wir haben ein paar mal in der mehr oder weniger dazu gehörenden Osteria gegessen, es hat uns immer super geschmeckt - tolles Essen, toller Service und wirklich gute Preise...! Rundum haben wir uns total wohl gefühlt und wir werden sehr wahrscheinlich wieder kommen.

Montecarlo ein Juwel in Nachbarschaft von Lucca
Das Haus liegt traumhaft schön gelegen inmitten von Olivenbäumen mit Blick auf den Glockenturm von Montecarlo, den man mehrmals täglich hört. Die Ausstattung des Hauses ist stilvoll und entspricht der Beschreibung. Aufgrund der sehr hohen Temperaturen haben wir den Pool sehr geschätzt und genossen. Von Montecarlo aus kann man Pisa, Florenz besichtigen und tolle Wanderungen in der Nähe machen. Wir haben auch das hier produzierte Olivenöl und Wein probiert und einiges über deren Herstellung gelernt. Die Kontaktpersonen waren sehr hilfsbereit, freundlich und immer verfügbar. Fazit: Wir kommen gerne wieder und können das Haus weiterempfehlen.
