Castelfiorentino Benozzo Gozzoli Museum Hotels

"Marilia deserves to be the VRBO host of the year! She was so helpful and accommodating. The house is comfy and spacious. We had a little issue with understanding the heating system but she solved it immediately. We were out of season for the pool. Oh well. We used this as our hub for side trips to various Tuscany towns and it was perfect. Marilia brought us a couple of surprises during our stay which was sweet. One major bonus that you will appreciate if you spend anytime in Italy. You get a dedicated parking spot! Highly recommend! "

"Marilia was a gem. She cooked us a delicious dinner the day we arrived. She arranged for a cooking class on site and connected us with a driver for our day trips. She went over and above to make our stay wonderful. The house was built in 1050 BC and was a treasure to stay in. Many features have been left when modernizing. The cellar is original and a great place to visit or eat while you are there. The views are spectacular. We cannot recommend this house enough!"

"The property was great particularly the outdoor areas and pool with plenty of big tables, pool lounges etc. We booked the whole property and so had all of the separate parts. Each room or set of rooms had their own kitchen and sitting area. This meant there wasn’t a big kitchen/sitting room for all 10 of us. It wasn’t a problem because the weather was perfect and we were outside all the time. There was a regional power cut while we were there and Agnese and her family were wonderful in help us get through that. They were responsive and extremely helpful. "

"The villa is stunning—exactly as described, with beautiful rooms, a great location, and a perfect setup for families or groups of friends. We enjoyed the setting and the property itself very much.However, the service was disappointing. Christina, the housekeeper, was not welcoming and often made us feel like we were inconveniencing her. Sheets and towels were never changed during our week-long stay, and when we asked for fresh pool towels after several days, she seemed annoyed. The washing machine didn’t work, and when we asked for help, our clothes were taken elsewhere and returned ruined with bleach stains—without an apology. The kitchen was also never cleaned, and by the end of our stay, the oven was left dirty.We also chose this villa for its privacy, but multiple unannounced visitors (owners, technicians, even strangers) appeared on the property, sometimes while we were eating or swimming. Mosquitos were a serious issue despite precautions, and the internet, while present, was very slow.Overall, while the villa itself is beautiful, the lack of proper housekeeping, maintenance, and privacy makes it hard to justify the 11,500 per week price."

"This was a beautiful location and the host Patrizia was friendly and responsive. The pool was refreshing and the view was outstanding. We had a 3 bedroom apartment in the main building and it was quite large and ideal for our grandson as apart from the main stairs it was mostly all one level so he could easily crawl around. Please note that basic amenities are not provided. You will need toilet paper, hand soap, dish soap, dish cloths etc. We arrived late so were a bit surprised to be without toilet paper but the host was very responsive and brought us some right away. We went out the next day and stocked up on things we needed and had a wonderful time there. It was one of our favourite places that we stayed and it felt very authentic. It is also walking distance to a wine tasting with lunch in a castle. We quite enjoyed this tour and the location and would definitely return!Grazie Patrizia per la tua ospitalità, abbiamo trascorso un soggiorno meraviglioso e speriamo di tornarci un giorno!"

"Our stay at the Santa Lucia villa can only be described as wonderful. First off the villa is in a perfect location- right in the middle of the Pisa, Siena, Florence triangle if you will. Day trips are easy to do to almost any Tuscan area from the villa. The villa itself was great- all the beds are comfortable, the bathrooms are clean, showers have great water pressure. The view from the back porch is incredible as expected. Highly recommend the wine tasting they offer it was one of the cooler experiences I had in my time traveling for 3 months in Europe. My friends and I love the villa and will certainly be reccomending it to friends!!!"
