4 ^/5 Very Good   Villa Review Rating Details   Share

We really enjoyed this place and location. It was perfectly located midway between Siena and Firenze(Florence)but close to the quiet town of Panzano. The property was great and having air-conditioning was fantastic for our children during the extremely hot weather. Likewise pool was perfect to cool down and had some great views.
The hosts were extremely accommodating and helped with sorting out a wine tour for us.

Very nice, well located and well equipped property. Suitable place for starting trips to Tuscany areas (Firenze, Siena, Chianti, San Gimigano, Voltera). We rented as one couple, but enough place for 2 pairs or families (2 kitchens, 2 bathrooms). It's actually half back part of the house. Very nice owners welcomed us and we could use barbeque equipment. Nice evening spent with backhouse sitting and watching Tuscany sceneries. It’s only very hard to find based on attached instructions. Attaching GPS position for other renters easier to find: 43°35.706’N , 11°6.834’E

Prima woning in mooie, rustige omgeving. Alleen de twee bedden op de overloop/vide was wat minder.

[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] Great home in beautiful, peaceful setting. Only the two beds on the landing / loft were not so good.

We arrived at this beautiful holiday home and found that it was even better than the pictures. we wanted a quiet and relaxing holiday for our family of 9 and Al Fanucchi was more than we could imagine. It accommodated all of us very comfortably and it was an excellent location to visit the various sites you may want to visit in Tuscany. It was exceptionally clean and tidy and kept this way with the help of the Maid who came 2 x each week.
The owners greeted us and were exceptionally friendly and most helpful if needed - they did not impose on our holiday.
We were very sad to leave and would highly recommend Al Fanucchi for relaxing holiday - with the capabilty of seeing the sites.
5* from all of us - which included teenagers.
fantastico

Mooi appartement met groot en rustig zwembad in prachtige streek. Goede locatie qua uitvalswegen, grote supermarkt en wijngaarden. Eigen wijn (museum in de kelder) is zeer aangename verrassing.

This is a lovely character villa in a beautiful Tuscan spot. The owners of the villa (Sergio and Stefano) are delightful and really contributed to our stay there with their local knowledge of the are, their fantastic Tuscan cooking and their warm welcome - knowing that if you need any help/advice they are always there. You do need a car if you are staying there but it is a super base to explore Florence, Siena and local towns such as San Gimignano. There are also lots of local markets and wine tasting venues to visit in this picturesque part of Italy. If staying here do book a table for the restaurant that is open Friday, Saturday and Sunday and be sure to order a pizza on Tuesday evening that Stefano will bring to your villa. You can also wash the food down with Villa Fabbroni wine at only 5 euros a bottle! Sergio and Stefano have struck the perfect balance between being there if you need them and yet letting you experience an independent holiday. Their dog Oscar is also a real character - so take time time to give him a pat...can't wait to see him again!

Had a great holiday, the flat is nice, the bedrooms are large, although the kitchen and living area are narrower. But the terrace is enormous and really peaceful and pretty. Good pool and nice owners.

San Doninno is echt een paradijsje. Prachtige locatie, zonsop- en ondergang. 360 graden uitzicht (vanuit het zwembad 180 graden) met uitzicht op Sienna. Doordat het op een heuvel ligt, waait het er altijd een beetje, waardoor het nooit te warm is.De prachtig gerenoveerd boerderij ligt aan het einde van een kiezelweg en het is er daardoor heerlijk rustig. Ook al was het vol (+/- 22 gasten) het voelde niet druk. Het appartement is echt prima. Je kunt gebruik maken van de wasmachine en fietsen. Het enige wat er misschien ontbreekt is een ventilator in de slaapkamer, maar je went aan de warmte. De eigenaren zijn geweldig. Ze zijn 'onzichtbaar' aanwezig en altijd vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Toen wij er waren hebben ze een avond met alle gasten georganiseerd, waarbij we wijn en eten kregen zonder dat ze daar iets voor terug vroegen. We hebben hun heerlijke wijn en olijfolie flink ingeslagen! Al met al echt een toppertje.

[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] San Doninno is truly a paradise. Beautiful location, sunrise and sunset. 360 degree view (180 degrees from the pool) overlooking Siena. Because it is situated on a hill, there is always a little bit of wind so it never gets too hot. The beautifully renovated farmhouse is situated at the end of a gravel road and it's so quiet. Even though it was full (+ / - 22 guests) it did not feel crowdy. The apartment is really excellent. You can use the washing machine and bicycles. The only thing missing is maybe a fan in the bedroom, but you get used to the heat. The owners are great. They are invisible but present and always friendly and helpful. When we were there they organized an evening with all theguests, where we got food and wine without being asked for anything in return. We have bought their wonderful wine and olive oil ! All in all a real top location.
