This house was amazing. The view was beautiful, the swimming pool was great and the house is phenomenal. I highly recommend this house !

Our family of 8 stayed very comfortably. The property is large with beautiful sunsets & photo-worthy Tuscan countryside. The pool is beautiful but the water is not quite warm enough in early May for much swimming. The villa has all the amenities you need, including a remodeled kitchen. The side sunroom was our favorite room to spend time together in. It is very close (short drive uphill) to the town of Volterra, with a grocery store not far away either. Monica is a wonderful host & answered all our questions in a very timely manner. The history of the villa is fascinating & once Monica shared that it truly felt like we had time traveled back to a forgotten era in the Italian countryside. Our entire family would recommend a stay at Pondere Casalino.

We had a fantastic stay! House was very clean, communication was great, and location was fantastic for visiting the town of Volterra and surrounding wine regions.

We visited in March 2025, with the intent to use as a base of exploration in Tuscany. We stayed for 4 nights, wish it had been longer. We enjoyed day trips to Siena, Pisa/Lucca, San Gimignano, and Volterra, along with vineyards near Radda in Chianti. Our evenings were spent either in the well-equipped kitchen and enclosed terrace, or in one of Volterra's Michelin-rated restaurants. If you're searching for a base of exploration, this is ideally situated.As for the property, it feels authentically rustic where you want it to be rustic, and modern where you want it to be modern. The ceilings are wonderful combinations of brick or timber beams, with Tuscan-tiled flooring throughout, and the windows open onto terracotta-covered roofs. The bathrooms have been fully modernized with walk-in showers, and the kitchen appliances all appeared to be new and higher-end. The beds were comfortable, with clean, quality linens. Due to the season, we did not visit the pool, but had similar views from the enclosed terrace. While there is an adjacent property, the situation of the home is very private, and the views over the countryside are everything you'd want from Tuscany.The property manager met us at the house and provided a thorough tour of the property. She was professional and kind, and available via WhatsApp throughout our stay for recommendations/questions.I highly recommend, both to explore Tuscany, and to enjoy a secluded property near a quiet Tuscan town with amenities.
