"The location is mesmerizing anmagical "

"The location is great, it is up on a mountain past Londa but to get to it you need to go up some ver inclined hills, definitely a different experience for someone looking to be away from the big city. The host was a very attentive super friendly guy that made sure we got there safe and was always there to help us. "

"We had a wonderful stay with a fantastic host and his family. We felt very much at home. Beautiful surroundings, lovely sights and good restaurants that Guido suggested. Beautiful authentic villas, a lovely pool and lovely people. Thank you so much, Guido, for your hospitality, the unforgettable memories and the delicious olive oil! "

"We had a fabulous stay at Villa Bucigna (end July 2025). We were a large group of 17. 14 adult's and 3 young children. There was ample space for all of us across the 2 villas and wellness centre. Communication with Peter and his family during our stay was excellent and some minor issues were dealt with promptly. The location is stunning with fantastic views and the sunsets over the mountains are fabulous. Its restful and peaceful location (although the cicadas can be quite vocal during the day!) but you are staying in the countryside. The swimming pool, hot tub and sauna are wonderful. And we used all of them during our stay.The swimming pool is on lovely sunny and sheltered terrace below the villas.The houses were well equipped for every day use with a lovely large kitchen in one of the villas which made catering for all of us a breeze. We also had some wonderful meals cooked for us by local chefs Max and Cri. The food and service was exceptional, both friendly and attentive. The antipasta spread was amazing with a cheese and meat selection along with such appetizers as artichokes, chicken liver pate on toast, bruchetta and veal in a tuna sauce. Mains were also delicious with two courses followed by a dessert. All served with wines from the region. They were more than happy to cater for dietary requirements, we had a vegetarian and a person with a nut allergy. All at a very reasonable price, wine included. Would thoroughly reccomend the experience. "

"We have a wonderfully relaxing week. The villa is situated in the hills amongst the vineyards. The views are absolutely spectacular, it has been so lovely to sit on the patio and soak it all in.The pool is large and cleaned daily with 5 comfortable sun loungers and a shaded area for table and chairs. We walked across the the local winery Nipozzano where we had a tour and lunch with wine tasting in a private dining room, a very special experience. It’s easy to go to Florence on the train with several trains an hour from Pontassieve. Siena was another trip out which was a delightful city and not overly busy, worth the drive of approx 1 hr 30 mins"

"Beautiful little cottage. Clean, comfortable and cool. Had everything we needed with a lovely friendly host on site. Convenient location from exploring. "

"It was a pleasure to stay in Guido’s beautiful Villa. The place had endless character and charm. It was very quiet. Close for day trips to Florence and Poppi, which was an incredible alternative to the touristy towns. We also had the best meals at Mandri nearby - all locals - and got to meet Guido’s charming family. The home was a step back in time and a perfect escape for a quiet week in Italy. A. A"

"Everything was great! We had a wedding for our daughter and Margherita was an excellent host! Castle was amazing and pool was refreshing. Enjoyed the visit. "

"Such a beautiful home and beautiful surroundings. The sunset was incredible and counting the stars I was in awe. Thank you Anna for letting us stay in your amazing home. A dip in pool after a day out made it perfect. "
