Another spotlight.... so do you really want to get away from it all, no noise, no traffic, no internet ? Just nature and beauty ?? We have it: Il Casale. This is just the typical Tuscan house and how you would imagine it, it's just that the pictures don't do it justice.

The owner Adriana takes such care of her house and the grounds, it's incredible. She's an old lady but still going strong, just leave her a note in the Guestbook ! So what you don't really see from the description and the pictures is that the interiors have been furnished with great taste and detail, and that the garden around the house is huge. There is no pool but who needs one if you can swim in the cristal clear water of the Farma river (walking distance from the house). Satisfaction Guaranteed !

A long time ago I used to work with an American agent for Tuscany holiday rentals. He is no longer in this business but his way of describing the Tuscan properties was just great and I will always remember that. Together we went to visit this beautiful farm called Poggio Velluto in the Orcia valley near the hilltown called Seggiano. And this was his opening sentence for the property description: "As if GOD guided a medieval farmer once to the most perfect location for a farmhouse, thus was built Poggio Velluto...." And it's true... as far as locations go there are none better seen by this writer. And the style of both interior and furnishings are not far behind: a wonderful building for its angles, details, furnishings and delightfully friendly owners, this is one you will return to!

This sunday we will be visiting Villa Ardene near the hilltown Montepulciano, so keep posted for more details!

Today a review on a beautiful house that our staff knows very well. La Poggetta is situated just on the outskirts of Cavriglia, a small town on the edge of the Chianti wine area. From here you can walk to town with all sort of shops and restaurants and that is perfect.


The house has a very nice covered terrace next to the big barbecue, there is a private swimming pool and a private tennis court and further a huge lawn with many trees and flowers. Beautiful roses are growing everywhere.... the guests can pick the fresh vegetables from the kitchen garden..... it's a Tuscan paradise !

The proud owners Alessandra and Alfiero do not speak English but they are very welcoming and are there for you in case you need anything.

A while ago our booking team set off for a visit to the Podere Lo Spadino, a new Tuscan country house close to San Gimignano and one of the favorites of our guests!

A visit to this house is a visit to the Montagnani Family. Because we must tell you that this house was born from an idea, a difficult but a strongly desired wish that the owner Maris had since he was young: his idea to build a house entirely with his own strength and own hands.

According to several researches Maris made and in analyzing some manuscripts left by his ancestors, the Montagnani Family has lived some centuries on the territory where the province of Florence borders the province of Siena, close to San Gimignano. The characteristic symbols of this area are part of the family's coat of arms which can be found in the medieval Town Hall in Certaldo.

The Easy Reserve Booking Team strikes again, this time in the Chianti area near San Polo......... It has been some time we have been planning a visit to Villa Fabbroni and today is the day.

The owners, Stefano and Sergio, are the perfect hosts: they welcome us in their wonderful little restaurant which is situated in the oldest part of the villa. This area used to be a typical Tuscan wine cellar with arched brick ceiling and stone walls (it accommodates some 50 people and the guests of Villa Fabbroni can have delicious meals here) and they start bringing out the cakes!
