"A lovely house in a beautiful area of Tuscany. The owners have a restaurant in San Donato, La Toppa, which is wonderful. "

"The family that runs this BnB are wonderful. They put together the most wonderful breakfast with fresh and delicious variety of choices. They hand-bake the croissants and the cakes for each morning and homemade yogurt. Everything is just amazing! The terrace is a beautiful place to spend time and catch sunshine while overlooking the Tuscan countryside. It is also a short walk to nearby wineries. However, you can also book tours that take you to multiple sites. Walking around the village is nice too. It is very quiet. A few nice shops are there and also an art gallery!"

"This stay was in a wonderful b&b in a charming village. The room was great with very helpful and thoughtful service. Easy and free parking 5 min walk (outside the ZTL). I would definitely recommend staying here. Make sure you check out the restaurant next door while you do!"

"Pietro was an amazing host. Always willing to help and very knowledgeable of the area. "

"Lovely large property very well suited for our family (2 seniors, 3 adults, 2 toddlers). Very accommodating for small children. Maria the host was outstanding -- very sweet, kind, thoughtful and responsive to any and all queries/requests."

"This is a lovely older home in the country with a great view of the village across the valley. Excellent hosts and very clean. Only issue, which is outside of their control, is the very slow internet service. It was very difficult to manage blog posts so it might be difficult to conduct any business on the available wifi."

"Beautiful setting but not a place to take a large group. The kitchen was inadequate. The two old small barbeques for out door cooking were also inadequate. There was no room inside to be together as a group. The table in the kitchen was big enough to seat 14. However the stove top and the half size oven were not designed to accommodate a large group. There was one 16x16 butcher block to work on, a small fridgecould not hold more than two days worth of food, let alone beer, wine and water for 14. There was no ice machine on site and a nice coffee machine (also one pot is not sufficient for 14 people) would have been appreciated. The linens in the bedrooms could be upgraded to make the setting much nicer. There was no laundry access that guests could use themselves, you had to pay for the service.The dirt road to get to the villa is in bad shape, with large blind pot holes creating issues for some. You may turn around before you get to the villa as there is no signage along the initial driveway. The terrace was a beautiful setting and had a large table that would seat 14. Again, the furniture could have used some updating and the patio stones some cleaning. The animal dropping are yours to clean and needs to be done daily. Broken windows and some plumbing issues detracted from the stay also. But through it all we made the most of it and enjoyed our week to the fullest. There are other villas in the area that offer a much more complete stay. Investigate."

"Sun setting over the hills as we opened a bottle of wine, the chef’s dog digging up fresh truffles in the backyard for dinner that night, fireflies blinking among the cypress trees after darkness settles in… Our group of 10 stayed here for two nights before heading to a wedding later in the week. It was an incredible experience getting to see Tuscany in such a relaxing stylish setting. Lorenzo and Natalie became true friends during the communication leading up to the stay and throughout. They helped us stock some groceries for breakfast, set up a chef cooked meal (with another new friend, Chef Giancarlo), welcomed us personally to the house, and generally made sure we all had an amazing time. The village of San Donato is a gem as well, and gave us a great feeling of what the real Tuscany feels like outside of the tourist hotspots. I highly recommend staying in their beautiful house!"

"We spent many hours on the property, drinking wine, and just taking in the gorgeous view."
