Our Trip to Tuscany
The picture of the farmhouse doesn't do the location justice after you see it in person.. it's a spectacular view! We arrived on a beautiful sunny day and were warmly welcomed by our hosts. After getting a quick tour of where we would be staying for the next week, we were pleasantly surprised by the kind gesture of homemade olive oil and wine left for us to have. Thank you! The location of this property is perfect for visiting the Tuscany countryside. Not only did we visit Siena on a few occasions, we also did day trips to Montepulciano, Cortona, Piensa and San Gimigagno. Our hosts gave us our space but also took time to answer our questions and make us feel welcome. We especially loved our conversations about all the delicious fruit they had growing in their yard! We will miss waking up to "Rusty" the rooster and seeing the chickens, rabbits and cats each day. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with the world.. this was the type of vacation we were hoping to have! Arrivederci Todd, Joy & Pauline

Perfect Stay in Tuscany
To begin, this was one the best homes we have had the luck and pleasure to experience. The small house felt like a home. Emanuela, Roberto, and their family were kind, welcoming, and helpful. Their farm and home are a life of love and exacting design and craftsmanship. The necessities are all short drives away; small towns and the larger communes provided learning, great food, history, and art. The stay was relaxing because of the care and attention to detail that the owners supplied in renovating what was once a small barn, including the personal addition of family antiques. Everything was made even better by the personable owners. The experience was both a joy and a welcomed reprieve from our time on the road.

Un angolo di paradiso nella campagna Senese
Siamo stati accolti da Emanuela e Roberto come persone di famiglia. All'arrivo ci hanno fatto trovare una bttiglia di vino (buonissimo!), il loro olio e i pomodori del loro campo.Accoglienza top!! Abbiamo chiesto di poter far soggiornare per una notte dei nostri amici e si sono resi disponibili. Ci hanno consigliato posti in cui mangiare e abbiamo chiacchierato come se ci conoscessimo da tempo. La casa è curata, pulita, arrredata e corredata di tutto il necessario. A soli 15 minuti da Siena nella pace della campagna con un panaorama fantastico. Loro sono stati degli ospiti disponibili e cortesi, lo consiglierò sicuramente e spero di tornarci in altre occasioni!!

A superb Tuscan retreat
A beautiful property only 15 minutes from Siena. Emanuela was a brilliant host. We had everything we could need in the property and the views and location was superb. We managed to visit Siena, Florence, Pisa and several of the local towns and villages of the Sovicille area. Beware of the mosquitos in an evening, but you should also take great delight at seeing the bats and birds flitting about as the sun sets over the hills. A gorgeous property and a lovely welcome and overall stay. Thank you!

An idyllic piece of heaven in the Tuscan hills
If you're looking for the perfect home base for a few days in Tuscany then look no further. Emanuela and Roberto are wonderful hosts. They live next door and were very attentive to our needs without being the slightest bit intrusive. They shared a bottle of the wine and olive oil they produced and it was fabulous. English is not their first language but Emanuela made a valiant effort. We used a translation app on our phone when needed and it was great fun. The accommodation is spacious, authentically rustic and clean. It was renovated with great care and attention to detail. The views are spectacular and the location (about 15-20 minutes from Siena) made it easy to enjoy our day trips to places like Pisa, Val d'Orcia and Civita di Bagnoregio. We will not hesitate to stay again when we return to Tuscany. Thank you so much Emanuela and Roberto.

Beautiful, peaceful space with amazing views
The property was a little hard to find (they do need to update Google maps) but the written instructions eventually got us there. It was worth it. The place was well equipped, comfortable and quite beautiful. The apartment is close to the house but still private. It is about 15 minutes to Siena, but you will definitely need a car. Buses aren't close by. Shops and restaurants are a short drive. Definitely a great place to stay if you have a car. Would love to come back.

In Spite of the Weather, Tuscany is Wonderful
The house is a renovated barn, but you would never know it. The craftsmanship of the work is second to none. This is the best mattress we have ever had in a VRBO. Parking is literally just outside the front door. Photos are an accurate depiction of the property. The welcoming owners live in the house next door and are more than gracious hosts. We would stay there again if we return to the Siena area.

Amazing Tuscan countryside cottage!!
Emanuela and family were great! When we arrived they gave us a tour of the property and explained everything we needed to know. Also provided goods from the farm i.e. wine, eggs and olive oil. It had absolutely everything we needed and more. Great central location for a visit to Tuscany. Parking was easy. We were 16 minutes tops from downtown Siena, and just about an hour from hilltowns like Volterra, Montelcino, Montepulciano and Pienza. There was even a neat Etruscan Necropolis to explore on the side of the road, just 6 minutes away. I would absolutely stay here again. Beautiful property and very kind owners!! 10/10

This is a beautiful barn conversion with excellent air conditioning, bed linen, showers and a stunning outside area with views. The hosts are so kind and generous we could have stayed forever picking ripe plums & figs & watching the sun set. Easy drive to Siena & many other beautiful towns. Highly recommended.

Country cottage
We spent a month at this property. The cottage is cozy and the host family is wonderful. The bedrooms are a good size and the view from the master bedroom was beautiful. We were looking for a place that was quiet but had easy access to the surrounding towns and sights. We did not have a car but we found the bus or train was a great way to get around. The bus stop from the house was about a 20 minute easy walk and a time to enjoy the quiet and beauty of the area. Watching the sunset from our lawn chairs each night was a favorite activity.

Super!!!
Absolutely stunning views all around! The house is great: spacious,comfortable,clean, very conveniently located. If you have some free time just drive for 7 min to Sienna-beautiful city where you can always find what to do. When we arrived, our hosts greeted us personally, explaining all about the house and the surroundings. On the table we found wine, oil and eggs-all products from their farm. Love the kitchen in the house-it is very good with great appliances. But when we were lazy, Alessandro directed us to couple of best restaurants close by. The family lives on the premises, always available to you, always helpful. We got very lucky with that house!!!!!!!

Es ist einfach alles stimmig. Gleich bei der Ankunft erfreut die Herzlichkeit der Gastgeber, die schöne Umgebung konnten wir aufgrund der späten Ankunft erst am nächsten Morgen sehen. Das Haus ist liebevoll und praktisch eingerichtet, der eigene Wein sehr lecker. Beim nächsten Mal würden wir länger bleiben.

Ein großartiges Erlebnis
Emanuela hat uns sehr freundlich empfangen. Das Haus ist sehr gut ausgestattet. Es war sauber und es ist komfortabel. Und vor allem ist es wunderschön. Der Garten hat auch bei heißem Wetter fast immer einen Schattenplatz. Insofern haben wir keinen Sonnenschirm vermisst. Ein Highlight ist der Grill, auf dem wir fast alle unsere Mahlzeiten zubereitet haben. Das, kombiniert mit dem wunderbaren Blick in das Tal und die angrenzenden Hügel, ist einfach fantastisch. Trotz der Nähe zum Haus der Vermieter, wird die Privatsphäre nie gestört. Auch die kleinen Aufmerksamkeiten von Emanuelawie gutes eigenes Olivenöl, frisch gelegte Eier, selbst erzeugter Rotwein oder die wunderbaren Waschlotionen machen den Aufenthalt einfach zu einem großartigen Erlebnis. Dazu kommt noch die Nähe zu Sienna, zum Flußtal der Elsa, wo man auch toll baden kann. Viele andere Natur und Kulturerlebnisse liegen in unmittelbarer Nähe. Wir waren glücklich dort.

Tolles Haus in den Hügeln der Toskana
Sehr netter Empfang durch die Besitzerin, die uns direkt 5 frische Eier von den eigenen Hühnern, ein kleines Fläschchen Ölivenöl, von den eigenen Olivenbäumen und eine Flasche Wein überreichte. Das Haus war sehr schön, die Klimaanlage in den beiden Schlafzimmern Gold wert bei über 35 Grad Hitze. Einzige klitzekleine Kritikpunkte, für die Bestuhlung draußen gab es keine Sitzauflagen und es gab nur zwei von den gemütlichen Sitzliegen draußen. Aber das ist jammern auf sehr hohem Niveau. Also alles in allem sehr empfehlenswert und wir kommen auch wieder, wenn es uns wieder mal in die Toskana verschlagen sollte.
