    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.
