Beautiful place to spend vacation. Very kind and helpful personnel and friendly owner. Monica gave us good recommendations about charming villages and other sightseeing. Wine produced in local winery was just perfect. I have no doubt to suggest this place for having a good time in Tuscany.

Suite D'Artista is a wonderful property with fantastic property managers that make your stay as easy as they possibly can. The villa itself is even more spacious than it appears on the web site, and the backyard is delightful. It is an oasis, but within easy walking distance to the town center. This is by far the best stocked villa I've rented, and the managers even had a starter pack of groceries for us upon our arrival--wondeful after an overnight flight from the U.S. Amenities include a grill, wood burning oven, Turkish bath, and washer/dryer. This is a great location if you want to stay in a Tuscan villa without being too far out in the countryside.

We visited Borgo Tollena March 2012. We immediately fell in love with the La Stellata and the surroundings. The owner Barbara is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside! So very sweet and helpful in every way! The apartment was so very clean that it made us feel very comfortable. We had everything you would need in a kitchen and bathroom and we did prepare several meals on our apartment. The views from our apartment were breathtaking! The grounds of the Borgo Tollena were also very well tended and beautiful. The six of us were very pleased with the rental, the town of San Gimignano and Barbara the owner of the Borgo Tollena. Also, the wine was available to purchase and very good! We will be back and will recommend to all of our friends and family!

We stayed at Suite D'arista for our honeymoon and it could not have been more perfect! The staff was wonderful and made sure we had everything in the room we needed, plus helped us set up wine tasting in Montalcino and assisted in some additional tourist activities. The location was perfect, and allowed us to hike to the town center for the market and restaurants, while still feeling very private and remote. We will definitely come back and stay again!

Loved our stay at Villa Lecceta. We hated to leave and would recommend it to any prospective renters.

The Casa Allinuzza looked exactly as it was on the photos.
It is very well located to explore Siena, Florence, and all the small villages surrounding and there are breathtaking views to the vineyards and the olive trees.
The kitchen was very well equipped and the bathroom was clean and spacious.
In the bedroom, there was a very comfortable 4 posters bed.
Breathtaking view to the wineyards and the olive trees.
Silvia was very kind and helpful and we purchased some of their wine and olive oil at the end of our stay.

Great location, in the middle of a very nice safe upscale neighbourhood. We walked in the evenings without hesitation. The place itself suited us, we ate breakfast at the apartment, took a packed lunch out touring. We did cook a couple of times, just basic stuff and the kitchen is small but well equipped. The bathroom is the main drawback - those of us from North America simply can't understand how it is humanly possible to shower effectively in a 2 foot sqare shower with a curtain on just one side, and a toilet right where you want to step. It's undignified and you won't feel clean (because of the toilet effectively IN the shower) However for one negative there were so many positives, we are happy to recommend his property, just know what you're getting into!

My husband and I stayed at Poggetto Di Montese, Le Rondini for one week in March for our honeymoon. The descriptions on Easy Reserve do not do justice to the peaceful lushness of this location. The yard looks out over the valley to the towers of San Gimignano, and it is hard to drag yourself away from the rejuvenating warmth of the apartment even to go for gelato in town. The apartment is fully equipped and has a full kitchen. The living room space is separate from the apartment and provides a nice private spot to get away from the afternoon heat. The owners house is attached to the apartment, but you hardly notice their presence and they are more than happy to help if you need anything. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and our only regret was that we hadn't planned to stay longer.

What an unforgettable week we had at Villa Caprera! Located very close to Siena, it was an excellent 'base' for exploring Central Tuscany by car...that is when we had the inclination to leave this wonderful villa!
The splendid decor is a mix of antique and ultra-modern which provided a homey atmosphere with convenient amenities. We put the well equipped kitchen to good use for several meals (great markets & farm stands are nearby). Many items you would look for in a fine hotel were present: nice bathrooms, cozy linens, spotless furniture, & WIFI. Every window had a stunning view of the hills and olive groves surrounding the property!
Other useful features: a patio with tables and chairs provided, washing machine (but no dryer... normal for Italian households), high ceilings, DVD w/ small library of movies, & a dishwasher.
The property is represented by EasyReserve which made for a delightful booking experience.
Prior to our arrival, Simona the owner provided us with good practical information and was kind enough to secure a few dinner reservations around Tuscany for us.
There didn't seem to be any negative items at Villa Caprera, but on a practical note, potential renters should be aware that: 1) This is a 1 story walk-up apartment. 2) One of the 3 bedrooms is a loft up another flight of stairs...making it quite romantic, but probably not great for infirm guests... and 3) It wasn't easy to find the 1st time we drove there, as it's not indicated on any GPS (Simona warned us as much) & the main highway nearby has at least 4 different names. Once we arrived, I locked it into my GPS & we never had another problem.
Did I mention the stunning views from every window?? Breathtaking!!

We stayed in Loggia for ten days in mid-March and were delighted with the property, the food, the cooking class and especially the warmth and support of the two hosts. They advised us on sightseeing options, supplied internet support, brought us fresh bread every morning and firewood every evening. Their availability, resourcefulness and graciousness transcended any that we have experienced in other lodgings.
