About this villa rental

Nestled in San Casciano Val Pesa, this lovely villa for R 10,862 per night is a fantastic choice for your next vacation. The Villa sits in the Chianti Classico hills among olive groves and cypress trees, just 20 km from Florence. Enjoy beautiful views and a private pool nestled among the vineyards. Our Villa sleeps 10 people, with 5 bedrooms with AC and 4 bathrooms. The villa is full of authentic touches, such as frescoed ceilings, and original wooden beam ceilings and terracotta floors. Enjoy your meals outside on our shaded patio just outside the kitchen, and relax by the pool or in one of our comfortable, elegant living rooms. Unlimited internet WiFi available, plenty of outdoor areas and absolute privacy. Great location for exploring Tuscany: easy day-trips to Siena, Florence, Lucca, San Gimignano, Pisa and of course the Chianti Classico region with its famous wineries. The town of San Casciano Val di Pesa is 4 km away from the villa: there is a good quality supermarket (also open on Sunday morning), pharmacy, gas station, restaurants and shops of all kind. On Monday morning there is a weekly market in town. San Casciano is a lively, hilltop town: all year long locals meet in the historic centre locals to chat and have a coffee, do their everyday shopping at the charming small stores, and children stop for a gelato on the walk home from school. Here you can have a taste of authentic Tuscan life side by side with people who live in the town year round, instead of a tourist trap.

We loved the location and the grounds. The villa is nice but needs some repairs and maintenance and the furnishings, bedding and decor are in need of updating. The beds are hard and the pillows are hard and flat. The owner was easy to work with and we enjoyed our stay.

We were 4 adults & 3 children (under 7 years old) staying in this well maintained historic home for a week in June. Communication with Sabrina was easy & she was quick to respond and accommodate, both prior to & during our stay. She immediately replaced a broken coffee maker, she provided extra towels upon request (for the pool), & she accommodated us for a very early departure. The charming town of San Casciano is 10 minutes away; with a supermarket and several restaurants. The house is conveniently located for touring Tuscany, about 10 miles south of Florence. We used it as a hub for day trips throughout the region; Florence, Pisa, Luca, Sienna, Greve, Radda, San Gimignano & other places. The large, clean pool was delightful to use after touring throughout the day. The house has been upgraded with all modern fixtures (bathroom & kitchen), is very comfortable and was extremely clean when we arrived. It has the convenience of air conditioning in the bedrooms but due to the ideal weather & stone structure we didn’t have to use it. The only problem we experienced was with the electronic entry gate. It didn’t work properly. Sometimes it took us 15 minutes to get out of the property. It was especially concerning when we were leaving the property to catch a train for the next part of our journey. We informed the owner but that had not yet been repaired. We would highly recommend this magnificent, historic property as a Tuscan hub for extended families and groups of friends.

This very nice restored classic farm house is wonderfully located for relaxation and activities. Our group had bikes delivered by a local shop. Everyday the group spent hours biking through this Chianti region. Afterwards the pool provided much relaxation. The location among the rolling Tuscan hills is breathtaking. The location is also an active farm where we purchased plenty of Chianti Classico and olive oil. Location is a few minutes from plenty of shops and grocery stores. We took the tram to Florence from a station 20 minutes away. We highly recommend this location for a large group.

This spacious farmhouse is situated on a stunningly beautiful hillside in Chianti. The pictures do not do it justice! It was literally one of the most beautiful places we have every stayed. The property was surrounded by olive trees, vineyards, cypress, and citrus trees. The landscape was beautifully maintained. The farmhouse had surprisingly spacious bedrooms and common areas. There are frescoes on the ceiling, beautiful but functional furniture and a wonderful outside table with ample seating. It is perfect for a group or large family. We used this as a base for our travels to Florence, Pisa, Lucca, Sienna, and Cinque Terre. The pool was a welcome retreat after site seeing each day. We used the pizza oven to grill one night, as well as the ovens. All the appliances worked well and the air-conditioned bedrooms allowed us to sleep comfortably. A few nights, we opened windows (all screened) as it was cool outside, and the ac wasn't needed. Sabrina was extremely helpful and even came over to help us figure out the washing machine one day. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone coming to this area. Our group actually voted to skip a day of sightseeing just to enjoy being around the property. It was just perfect all the way around! My only suggestion would be to have the farmhouse history detailed for guests. Sabrina mentioned it had been in the family for 400 years and we would have loved to know the full history of this beautiful farmhouse and property!

There is no doubt this is a charming 400yo villa in a great location in Tuscany. San Casciano is the nearest town and has great restaurants and amenity. As an old villa you can expect rustic conditions especially regarding plumbing. However, we were disappointed that there was absolutely nothing in the way of basic house provisions. You have to bring your own everything. We had to go and buy bin liners, dishwashing liquid, soap, salt, pepper… basic things for our week long stay. Of course we didn’t expect fresh food but in our experience some basic kitchen provisions would have been nice. There weren’t any suggestions for local things to do either - that would have been another nice touch. It was cold during our stay in May but we weren’t allowed to use heating down stairs! Despite these annoying circumstances we had a great stay in Tuscany. There is so much to do.

The Villa was all we expected and more! Sabrina even opened the beautiful pool a couple of days early and we capitalized on it with some beautiful weather. My only recommendation would be to place some more specific written instructions upon checkin to cover more details on such things as: obtaining trash bags, operating 1st floor heating, what to do with trash, linens and such upon departure.

We were 4 married couples on vacation and this house was perfect. It was even better than the pictures. The bedrooms are huge. Contrary to some previous reviews, the kitchen is very well stocked. We cooked dinner 3 times and had everything we needed to make a big meal. We also used the outdoor oven fire pit to cook meat. We had a little issue with one of the showers and Sabrina had a plumber come that very same day to fix it. The property is so clean, lush and well looked after. The pool is very big and so clean, we really enjoyed how refreshing it was after a hot day of sightseeing. The location is also really good. An easy drive into town for groceries and to get to all the other little towns in Tuscany. We would definitely stay here again.
