We would highly recommend the Casa Cipressi, it’s in a beautiful remote setting with lovely views from the entrance over the Tuscan countryside, vineyards and olive groves. We loved spotting deer in the hillside, although vineyard owners aren’t so enthusiastic, as deer nibble and damage the vines!
The large garden is a delight, and lovely to explore, it has a little pond with very noisy frogs which leap into the water when they spot you coming! The pool is well maintained with sun loungers available. There is a nice shady dining area outside the villa where we ate all our meals.
The interior of the villa is rustic but very comfortable. There are fans in all the bedrooms which was essential when temperatures crept up to 40C in June!
The villa is situated in a good position for sightseeing. Make sure to take the train from Certaldo to Firenze as it takes you to the centre of the city. We also enjoyed San Gimignano, Siena, Volterra and Certaldo Alto among others nearby.
Lovely place for a relaxing holiday, you won’t be disappointed!

Das Haus ist wunderschön. Und da wir mit Eltern und Schwiegereltern unterwegs waren auch super ideal , da jedes Schlafzimmer über ein eigenes Bad verfügt.
Die Lage am leichten Hügel und somit der Blick über ein nächtlich beleuchtetes Florenz ist atemberaubend.
Der einzige kleine Minuspunkt sind die Angeben der Wegstrecken ( also ohne Auto kommt man nirgends hin), auch ein zwei für Induktion geeignete Töpfe in de Küche wären nicht schlecht.
Aber alles in allem war es ein toller Urlaub und wenn wir wiedermal in die Gegend kommen sicher einen weiteren Aufenthalt wert.
(English translation - The house is beautiful. And since we were with parents and in-laws it was also great that each bedroom has its own bathroom.
The location on the hill and thus the view over a nocturnal illuminated Florence is breathtaking.
The only small minus point is the indication of the distances (you can not get anywhere without a car), also a couple of suitable pans for induction in the kitchen would not be bad.
But all in all it was a great holiday and if we come back in the area, certainly worth a stay.)

This is a beautiful villa, impeccably cared for in the most stunning location. Every picture is true to life! We were 2 couples staying for the week. We loved the restaurants on the hillside as well as Cortona. A completely enjoyable stay and the owner was always available for recommendations! Lovely!

Wir verbrachten zwei wunderschöne Wochen in der Villa Le Balze. Die Anlage ist hervorragend gepflegt und besitzt einen schönen großen Pool. 10 Personen können hier komfortabel wohnen. Mitten in einer einzigartigen Landschaft kann man relaxen und hat doch schöne Ausflugsziele (Florenz, Chianti, Arezzo,...) in der Nähe. Die Vermieter sind sehr freundlich und man kann auf Vorbestellung in Ihrer Gaststätte gut und preiswert essen. Ein 3-Gängemenü mit allen Getränken kostet 20.- für Erwachsene und 10.- für Kinder. Einzig das WLAN ist schwach. Aber im Urlaub soll man sowieso abschalten. Die Gegend ist touristisch nicht so überlaufen und es gibt in der Umgebung einge günstige und gute Lokale (z. B. Pizzeria Tony in Faella).

In the middle of a unique landscape you can relax and visit beautiful destinations (Florence, Chianti, Arezzo, ...) nearby. The landlords are very friendly and you can order good and cheap food in their restaurant. A 3-course menu with all drinks costs 20.- for adults and 10.- for children. Only the WLAN is weak. But on vacation you should switch off anyway. The area is not too crowded with tourists and there are cheap and good places in the area (for example Pizzeria Tony in Faella).

Wir haben wunderschöne 2 Wochen verbracht. Wunderbares Wetter versüßt natürlich immer wieder den Urlaub. Aber das Haus war ausreichend ausgestattet. Die Terrasse mit dem schönen Ausblick war die Krönung. Wir kommen wieder.
[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] We spent beautiful 2 weeks. Wonderful weather naturally sweetened the holiday again and again. But the house was adequately equipped. The terrace with the beautiful view was the crowning glory. We will be back.

Wir hatten alle Wohnungen gemietet und dazu die Gemeinschaftsräume. Die beiden Häuser sind in einem Topzustand, alles (Räume, Betten, Geschirr usw.) ist sehr sauber. Der Garten mit den vielen Rosen ist ein Traum, der Pool absolut einmalig. Alles wird jeden Tag liebevoll gepflegt. Der Besitzer ist jeden Tag vor Ort und unterstützt sehr gerne. Es war rundum ein wunderschöner Aufenthalt, sehr sehr gerne wieder.
[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] We had rented all the apartments and the common areas. The two houses are in top condition, everything (rooms, beds, dishes, etc.) is very clean. The garden with the many roses is a dream, the pool absolutely unique. Everything is lovingly cared for every day. The owner is on site every day and very happy to assist. It was a wonderful stay, we would very much like to stay again.
