The site is beautiful. We did our search for a room with air conditioning as a required element and Montegufoni showed up, but the room I selected did not had air conditionning. This was very disapointing. Be careful which room you select. On top of that our bathroom was not clean and the ceiling was full of mold.

The house and location are stunning. Met the home owner a couple of times as she came to check that everything was ok - very caring and friendly. Gardeners and cleaning staff were also very pleasant and did their best to do their work without being intrusive at all. Pool was amazing, very private and quiet and a great way to relax either first thing in the morning with a coffee or at the end of a long day touring the surrounding regions. Relatively short drive to Tuscany, Lazio, etc. Would happily stay in this gorgeous property again. I would give it 6 stars if possible!

Absolutely everything we hoped and more. The house is well equipped and comfortable, insect screens at all windows for instance means we could get air flow and stay reasonably cool at night. The views from the pool are stunning in all directions, perfectly private and big enough to swim in, plus a decent sized sun-lounging area.
Our hosts were superb, very friendly, could not have been more helpful, met us in Certaldo centre to save us trying to find the property. Their local wine went down very well and our daily visit from Pepe the dog (very well behaved) was a little bonus. Certaldo doesn't attract hordes of tourists yet the old town is the equal of much better known towns. La Saletta restaurant in town was excellent, Pizzeria Maroni for the best pizzas and very reasonable, and for a real treat nearby, Osteria di Casa Chianti with superb food and view of the sunset.
Hire a car, book two weeks, travel around when you feel like it to the many places in easy reach, and swim and sunbathe and read when you don't - perfect.

This was a wonderful place to stay. Right in the heart of Tuscany. The pool was amazing . There was enough room for my family of 20. We did have to pay extra for air-conditioning, and it turned off for 7 hours during the day the house stayed cool. The only negative thing is that we had been gone and long time and needed to wash our clothes. The dryer did not work and we were told it would be fixed on Monday. It never got fixed. They gave us a $50. rebate. Hardly worth the convince of a dryer.

Almost perfect - but the introduction of air-conditioning into the bedrooms would be helpful to controlling mosquitoes and making the rooms more comforable

Many properties in Tuscany have been upgraded to include air conditioning in recent years. We'll pass your suggestion along to the owner. Thanks and we're so happy you enjoyed your stay at Villa Camilla.
One of our best holidays! Have been all over the world, a few times in the Toscana over the past years. This house and ground looks identical as on the pictures. The owner family is so friendly and warmhearted. We enjoyed the fantastic pool and the view is outstanding! And so much too see and visit just surrounding.
