The house in Poggio Nardini was a nice and clean house. Very near Florence (can be reached within half an hour by car). Poggio Nardini is a small Agriturismo with 7 appartments who all look nice and authentic. The beds were very well, but the kitchen and bathroom a bit older.
The only thing is that the three older sisters who run the place are very 'present'. For example, our children can swim very well (Dutch 'C diploma'), but weren't allowed to swim on their own in the pool, although we explained it to the sisters. We also found that the owners were a bit pushy with the weekly dinner on thursday. It didn't feel as if it was your own choice.
But over all we had a nice holiday in beautiful Tuscany.

My Family and I just returned from Siena and were fortunate enough to stay at the Villa Caprera. We thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful apartment and the hospitality of the Bencini family. The Villa is a very nice marriage of the old and new. The place is fully renovated and accommodated 5 very comfortably. Everything has been lovingly renovated by the family's architect daughter. We stayed in the tower room which was beautiful albeit a little noisy at first light due to the birds but some ear plugs solved that problem. The owner's are on premises and are such kind people. Danielle baked us a cake and brought us fresh eggs and her husband Mario even offered to drive us into town the first night since we didn't have our rental car until the next day. It was just a wonderful, welcoming experience and we are very thankful for the memories. Extras: views of Siena, there is a small market right down the street, a small garden area with a grill, and Ilda the very friendly Nonna who will speak to you in Italian no matter if you understand or not. Negatives: nothing really, some low hallway ceilings so watch your head when heading to the bathroom. John N.- Washington, DC

The villa was beautiful. We loved the location and the house itself. I think that potential renters should know that the road leading to the villa is not for the faint of heart, however. We had a difficult time accessing the villa when we arrived because our car wouldn't go up the mountain. It was nerve-wracking. We did get used to the road and, indeed, grew to appreciate it, but we never let our guard down. Our week at Modonnina was wonderful.

We found a very quiet place what is not so easy when the rail and the highway also pass near the seaside.The apartment was very appropriate(clean) and arranged all the equipments.

I was a little concerned booking a villa for 12 people site unseen, but once we arrived, I knew it was destiny. All were delighted with the accommodations. The residence was immaculate and the rooms were very comfortable. The pride taken in the property was apparent by the frequent owner and caretaker visits, but never intrusive. The hospitality and warmth of the residence was only surpassed by that of Rosado and family. The location was perfect for trips to Siena, Florence, Assisi, Perugia and Cortona, all of which we did along with wine tasting in the area. The local supermarket was a favorite destination, and could we ever forget the delicious meal prepared by Chef Barbara, certainly a night to remember. We cannot wait to return in the future!!

Nice location - within walking distance of Pozzolengo village.
Great drives to make along Lake Garda and be sure to visit Sirmione, Sigurta Gardens and Il Borghetto... all wonderful discoveries for us.
The apartment, however, is rather dark (ok for recovering from jetlag)and workshop next door can be noisy if you want to sleep in.
Owner does not speak English, so was glad to practice my Italian !

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Rio Corso. We had some difficulty finding the property, but once we figured out how we went wrong it was easy. The property was everything we expected and the owner and his son were incredibly helpful and friendly. The Villa was well designed, clean, modern and attractive. Would highly recommend this property.

The villa is located on the top of a hill in the south of Florence (20km). The view is very good and the place is very silent.
A car is necessary.
Owners are very helpful and add additional services like bread in the morning or selfmade Pizza.
The appartment itself can become very cold in the night (I was there in April) and so it is necessary to use the fireplace. This is very romantic but is also connected with the smell of fire and ash. Dont wear your good cloth.
The kitchen/dining area/living room is functional. Only the couch is old and not relaxing anymore.

When the weather is beautiful and you dont expect luxury you can have a beautiful stay there. If the weather is not good you are very limited but Florence is not far away and you can visit all the museums.

We had a wonderful week in Casa Marta, Pascoso. Fausto was a very welcoming and helpful host. A car is essential but there are so many amazing places to visit and fantastic scenery. The village itself is picturesque and peaceful, the local restaurants are excellent. The villa is beautifully renovated with all you need for a comfortable stay. We loved it.

Our stay in Corte Piccinotti was wonderful. The house is very nice, has got 3 floors, most of the furniture is antique, heating is sufficient enough, it's clean and generally is very comfortable. The most important thing is that the people are very friendly, graceful and kind.
