Nice Stay Away from the Crowds!
This place was so pretty and away from the touristy areas. We were able to see San Giamigano (sp?). Siena, Montepulciano, Montalcino was very close by. This place is in the middle of the prettiest part of Tuscany!! The place was very nice but could use some racks or hooks for your towels and a place to put your shampoo etc. by the shower. 😁

Idyllic hill village setting.
Lovely village house conversion, but not enough comfortable chairs for evenings. Also a pity that the open log fire was not operational.

Lovely Tuscany apartment!
This apartment is a gem. Lovely, cozy, and well-appointed. Beautiful view of the Tuscan countryside from one of the bedrooms! Check-in was seamless and the owner was very responsive. Be aware that Castelnuovo dell’Abate is a small village with one small grocery store and restaurant; for more options you will need to drive to Montalcino (9 km away). This apartment was an excellent home base for exploring the area. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

SCAM - DO NOT BOOK
THIS A SCAM! Do not book! We booked a 1-night stay for February 26, 2024. The booking was paid in full on February 9th, at the owner's request. Final payment was not due until 2/19. On the date of arrival, the owner would not answer our calls or VRBO's repeated calls to get a code to get into the rental. We were stuck with nowhere to go but drive to back to Rome. Thank God for Doubletree Suites who took us in and upgraded our room because they felt so bad for us. Shame on this owner!

Tuscany Dream
House of Alice was amazing. The beautiful village of Castelnuovo Del’Abate was like a fairy tale. Perfectly situated for day trips all over Tuscany. The house itself was beautiful, and met every expectation.

Amazing Stay and Comfortable Beds with a view
The hilltop apartment was magnificent. It has been beautifully remodeled, clean, uniquely decorated and comfortable beds. The master bedroom has a window that opens up to a 180 degree view of Tuscany, while lying in bed that's what you wake up to! Francesco was a fantastic host. The property has a few more units that, I'm sure, just as beautiful

Dream Vacation
This bungalow is even more charming than the pictures. It was absolutely perfect for our first visit to Tuscany. Everything about the village was exactly as described and exceeded expectations. Francesco consistently went above and beyond from the time of booking to the end of our stay. I highly recommend renting E-bikes while you stay in the area, ride the countryside and visit the wineries. It is a magical experience. Visit the abbey - it is stunning. Follow Francesco's advice on what to see and do in the area. There is also a lot to experience in the nearby Montalcino. We cannot wait to return to the House of Alice!

We spent 13 days in the House of Alice. The pictures were completely accurate as shown on VRBO and our hosts were great. Very attentive and helpful with questions and requests. The stay was very comfortable for both couples. The location was perfect for day trips around Tuscany. We would highly recommend The House of Alice. Thank you again, to our wonderful hosts!
