Tuscany Italy - Beautiful Location and Views from a Villa Outside of Sienna

We had a lovely time here. The villa is charming and the location is stunning! Set in the middle of Tuscany (east of Siena), the Italian countryside and towns are beautiful. The Italian people were friendly and relaxed. This was a perfect Tuscan vacation. Thank you! We will return.

Fabulous villa off the beaten tourist path

Three of us spent a terrific week at this remarkable property. The villa was spacious, comfortable and equipped with modern amenities. A great getaway, with wonderful alfresco dining, the setting is absolutely gorgeous, with views of nearby villages within 20-30 minutes walking distance. Having spent the first three days of our stay in bustling Rome, we found this villa to be an ideal location for exploring Tuscany. The owners were remarkable hosts, escorting us on a day trip to nearby Montalcino to visit local wineries. We heartily recommend this villa to those who want a private, tranquil place to rest, relax and recreate! Authentic Tuscany is right outside your door.

Idyllic Getaway in Tuscany

We recently stayed 5 nights here as the first leg of a 2 week trip. We could not be happier with our experience. The home was beautiful, even better than the listing. We truly felt that we came home each night after long days driving around Tuscany. Comfortable beds, cozy kitchen and living area and an amazing yard. We sat outside as much as possible, even though the weather was cool. The thoughtful inclusion of bread, butter, sauce, coffee, etc was such a welcoming touch and we can’t speak highly enough about the property manager, Eleanor. She was amazing, so helpful and always available for questions or suggestions. In one sentence, Book This Home!. It was an incredible experience.

A peaceful retreat deep in the Tuscan countryside with all mod cons.

This is a delightful villa situated deep in the countryside and is very peaceful. Despite its rural location it has all mod cons, it is a traditional Tuscan farmhouse that has been renovated to a very high standard using quality fittings. It has three double bedrooms each with its own toilet facilities and the beds are comfortable. The kitchen is properly equipped with sufficient crockery and cutlery for all guests. The owner has gone to enormous pains to provide comprehensive information both about the villa and about the area around describing things to do and placed to visit. The property is managed by Beatrice who is wonderful. Very helpful, knows everything and always cheerful. The swimming pool is some 60 meters away and out of sight of the villa, although shared we never saw anyone else there. Its distance from the villa has the advantage that it does present itself as a temptation to any small children in the party. Last but not least is the terrace. It gets the morning sun and makes breakfast a wonderful experience with the warmth of the sun and the cool morning breeze it is total heaven. The view from the terrace is fantastic and it is a great temptation just to stay at the villa all day and relax there.

Great peaceful break near Siena

The location is great, with walks immediately around the house and lots of lovely towns and villages to visit. Even a good go-Karting track! The house itself is brilliant - very well suited for a family, with bathrooms part of or very close to every bedroom, an easy use kitchen, and convenient dining tables both in and out doors. My wife and I particularly valued the delightful Italian cotton sheets(!) and comfortable beds. Finally, and not insignificantly, Barbara (who looks after the property locally), was a font of useful local knowledge and very entertaining with her many stories of events over the years on the estate and in the vicinity. In the house there was a very useful guide for activities in the area. We loved our stay!

Return Stay

We love this property. This is the second time we have stayed here. The owner Stefan is great. To be honest the management has slipped a little and it was difficult to communicate with new manager. You have to love the country and it is about 10 minutes using dirt roads to get to the Villa. The Villa is a great value and a great location. If you love peace and quiet and good local restaurants and wineries this is the place for you.

Issues in an unusually hot summer

The villa was lovely. We were surprised how far the villa was off a paved road, which added significant travel time to any location. The extreme heat made the stay uncomfortable. The ceiling fans in upstairs bedrooms were not effective. Days were spent trying to manage the heat. It is essential the owner provide functioning fans throughout. Minor inconveniences were: appliances didn’t have non-standard adapters provided— for coffee makers, hair dryers etc.

Quiet and peaceful Tuscan countryside retreat

This was my favorite place I stayed in Tuscany during a visit of over a month. I stayed in Siena and Florence, and while those were nice, nothing beat the views and serenity offered in this Tuscan villa. I spent every evening on the patio eating dinner. I was there to spend time writing and reading. I also enjoyed w/ my spouse the winery not too far away, and an amazing meal in Villa a Sesta recommended by the thorough guidebook. The house itself was perfect. Lots of room for our family of 3, probably more than we needed. The views were truly spectacular. It was only about 25 minutes into Siena, and also was easy to get to Chianti. Other Tuscan hill towns were about 30 minutes to an hour away. The best place in rural Tuscany.

Traumhafter Toskana Urlaub

Wir haben zwei Wochen in der Villa verbracht und es war ein traumhafter Urlaub. Die Zufahrt ist gewöhnungsbedürftig, 12 Minuten über staubigste Schotterstrecke, aber man wird belohnt mit Natur, herrlicher Ruhe und einem grandiosen Ausblick über die Hügel der Toskana. Tolle Villa mit sehr guter Ausstattung und einem riesigen Garten. Man hat vor Ort immer einen Ansprechpartner, auch für Reisetipps, und fühlt sich rundherum sehr gut aufgehoben. Sehr empfehlenswert für alle die ein bisschen Abgeschiedenheit, Ruhe und Natur suchen. Wirklich Topp!

Tuscan Idyl

If you are looking for a place to get away from crowds in the middle of Tuscany, this could be it. Stone exterior fits into the countryside but was recently (2010) constructed. Attentive management. Great things to do/how things work book. The house is delightfully isolated but near enough to many sights, activities, towns/cities. Kitchen very well provisioned. Good laundry. We had an issue with water heater but responsively sorted; plenty of heat/hot water. Ultra modern bathrooms (3 full + 1/2). Beautiful east facing terrace. Wood burning fireplace. Lots of closet space. Nicely furnished. And it’s Tuscany!

Fabulous getaway with stunning views

We were met outside the village of San Gusme by Eleonora, a local representative of the property owners, which was important because even with GPS this property is not easy to find. She not only helped us find the home and settle in, but also provided help for the duration of our stay with information on local food, making reservations, etc. One of the highlights of our stay there was a home-cooked Italian meal that was prepared and served to us by a local family, made from ingredients grown on their family farm, and complete with their Chianti wine as well. Stefan helped us get this set up prior to our visit. We were a group of 3 couples, and the villa was the perfect size for us, with three full size bedrooms, plus large living and dining/kitchen areas and outdoor patio with amazing views of the nearby countryside. The home is beautifully furnished and has the feel of an old world villa but with modern conveniences. We were very comfortable there and the location served well as a home base for our day trips to local destinations: San Gimignano, Greve, Panzano, Siena, Castella di Brolio, Montalcino, and Montepulciano. We ate wonderful meals in nearby little villages of San Gusme and Villa a Sesta, beautiful gems that were surprising to us that they were not written up in travel guidance that we had previously read about the area. Highly recommend to those that want to get away for a quiet experience in the beautiful Tuscan landscape, and are not afraid of taking the back roads to get there.

Wir hatten zu sechst eine sehr schöne Woche in der Capella di Pancole. Das Haus ist wunderschön und man kann von dort gut alle Sehenswürdigkeit rund um Siena erreichen. Einzig der Weg zum Gebäude ist etwas holprig. Ansonsten ist das Gelände mit Olivenhainen und Weinanbau super!

Lovely home base from which to explore Tuscany and Umbria

The villa is very quiet, comfortable and well equipped, on lovely grounds within the Villa di Arceno estate. Although it is about a 10-minute drive from the villa to the main road, the roads and property within the estate are very well maintained. In Castelnuovo Berardenga, there is a nice grocery (Coop) where you can get anything you need. And in Castelnuovo Bearardenga and the surrounding villages there are a number of good restaurants. Beyond the immediate area, the villa is centrally located to explore Tuscany and Umbria by car. Siena is about a 35 minute drive., and it has much to offer in terms of sites, restaurants and shopping The house notebook is an informative and reliable guide to restaurants and things to do in the area. The cooking class with Andrea was a really wonderful experience and, with everything it includes, a great bargain. Highly recommend this house as a base from which to explore central Italy.

Superbe villa - 180 degrés de vues

Bonjour. Nous sommes du Québec. Nous avons séjourné dans cette superbe villa pendant une semaine. Nous étions deux couples. La villa est récemment construite ... presque neuve ... mais avec un charme incroyable. Les photos fournies par les propriétaires sur ce site sont tout à fait représentatives de l'endroit. Il ne manquait absolument rien dans cette demeure. Elle est décorée avec goût et en respectant son environnement, soit la Toscane ! Tout dans la villa est 100 % fonctionnel. Nous avions même des vélos de montagne de qualité à notre disposition. Les lits sont extrêmements confortables. La vue .... je ne trouve pas les mots pour la décrire ! 180 degrés de vues non interrompues sur les montagnes avoisinantes ... nous les avons photographiées sans relâche, car elles changent beaucoup selon l'heure du jour à laquelle nous les observons .... prévoir une consommation accrue de pixels! Le terrain entourant la villa est superbement aménagé ... lavande, romarin, coqueliquots, oliviers, cyprès, et j'ignore les noms de toutes les autres espèces. Il est très propre et est nettoyé régulièrement. La villa est très spacieuse .... amplement de place pour six personnes, bien que nous n'étions que quatre. Nous avons adoré la petite ville de Castelnuovo Berardenga, toute proche, où on y trouve absolument toutes les commodités .... de même que nous avons beaucoup aimé les petits villages, encore plus proches, de San Gusme et Monte Benichi .... on mange particulièrement bien à la petite osteria de Monte Benichi .... Aussi, nous avons apprécié le fait que la villa est en plein centre de tous les endroits à voir en Toscane .... il est donc possible d'y faire des excursions quotidiennes dans tous les recoins de cette Toscane, qu'il s'agisse de Montalcino, Montepulciano, Pienza, San Gimignano, Sienne, Cortona, Florence, Rada, Greve, Montereggioni, Arrezzo, etc .... bref endroit que je qualifierais de "très central".

True luxury in the heart of Siena!

What a delightful place to immerse yourself in the serenity of the Tuscan hillside views, or to use as a base for exploring the region. We were happily ensconced in Cappela di Pancole for a week, and it was just perfect for us. The villa was well laid out for four of us, with comfortable furnishings and decor. We especially appreciated the welcome basket from Esther and Stefan, so well provisioned to provide us with our first Italian supper on the evening that we arrived. We all are lovers of Italian food, and wanted to have a local cooking experience. Stefan connected us to a local chef and caterer with a great reputation. We spent a day in and around Siena shopping with the chef to get the ingredients for a fantastic four course dinner that we all then participated in preparing in the villa that evening under his instruction. He was an enthusiastic and charming man, very passionate about the elegance and simplicity of the Tuscan cuisine, and we are still dreaming about that magical experience. It was definitely the high point of our trip. The villa is also well situated for exploring the local wineries, and Stefan and Esther have provided a number of proposed itineraries for day trips in their house book that we found very helpful and easy to follow. Even the local grounds on the Villa Arceno estate provide ample opportunity for interesting hikes and walks if you want to take a break from driving around and just enjoy the property. These hosts really put themselves in the place of their guests, and thought of everything. We all would highly recommend it and hope we can return in the future.
