Amazing views of Tuscany countryside

This house is incredible, leaving no stone ( literally) unturned to find a balance between preserving the medieval charm of the house but providing modern comforts. Even the water pressure is great! Beds are all comfortable. The views from the decks are breathtaking ! We loved exploring Tuscany with this amazing house as our base .

Great location and space

Montespertoli did not disappoint. This home is very well located to enjoy a small town and have easy access to other small towns, as well as Florence and Lucca-two of our favorites. Wine tasting, gelato, bakery, groceries, post office all within a short walk. The listing was accurate and our family of six had plenty of room to be together or find a quiet space. We especially enjoyed the rooftop patio. Bruno was responsive to questions and recommendations and the check in/check out process was smooth. Thank you for a lovely visit.

Perfect small town stay near Florence

This house was perfect for our group of 9 girlfriends. Every room had a bathroom to share which was so convenient. It’s location was also perfect to explore Tuscany and all the hysterical gems. Montespertoli is a beautiful town to visit and Bruno was an excellent host!

live like the villagers of Montesperatoli

Our family of eight truly enjoyed our stay in this unique 400 year old casa, with modern amenities in the bathrooms and kitchen. It is a very cool juxtaposition with old stone hearth ,stone sink beamed arched ceilings, ancient stone walls. the awesome rooftop deck was an wonderful setting for a tuscan meal with beautiful views of the countryside. What a unique experience to live like the villagers, going to the supermarket, the small coffee,& restaurants and witness all of the townspeople from babies, school age kids & parents to old residents hanging out in the town piazza thru the day and evenings. A varied experience after spending 3 days in the hear of Rome. Highly recommend doing a bike tour with Massimo & team (a 10 minute walk from the casa) "Toscana by bike" for the day, as well. visitors should be aware the 5 bedrooms are small with no real closets, but they provide good privacy & quiet. And most of the showers are on the small side but there are 4 of them. The washer was a plus, and drying in the open air on the terrace, just like the villagers. Highly recommend for travelers who don't mind the rusticity, but are interested in experiencing the charm of a small village. We were a blended family of (2) parents with 3 sons and a daughter and 2 girlfriends, ages 20-30. Everyone enjoyed our stay!

Great place if looking for a stay away from tourist area

The house was nice. The town itself has a couple small bars and restaurants that we checked out. It was easily walkable to the town and close enough to get into the Florence area. We did wish there was more soap and shampoo on the bathrooms and if the beds could have been made. Otherwise beautifysetting and a gracious owner who always responded quickly to any question we had.

A Charming Apartment

Our family of nine was entranced by the old-world authenticity of this apartment, yet with the modern amenities we all want. The town was small and easily walkable to good restaurants, with a good coffee shop practically next door. Bruno was an attentive host, and his communication with you prior to checking in was thorough. Would stay here again.

Excellent stay in a local village

Our stay was exactly what we needed and exceeded our expectations. A beautifully renovated/restored villa with all the facilities you could need and it was terrific to have space after a spate of living out of hotel rooms. Walking distance to everything that is needed and a great opportunity to practice speaking Italian. Highly recommend this accommodation. Bruno is fabulous and incredibly helpful and responsive.

Wonderful

Villa is spacious, courtyards intimate, lots of things to discover in the walls, remnants of original decorating, pottery, little nooks. Views are spectacular and located near city center. We enjoyed going for cafe every morning. Several spots to choose from. We were there for a month and it was easy to get to train station to travel to Rome and Venice. Lots of quaint towns to drive to also. The host Bruno was very easy to contact and replied quickly.

Cute villa!

The villa was a fantastic place to stay with a large group. We had 11 guests and enjoyed the outdoor dining area and living room to gather. The kitchen was good size and easily accommodate enough food. The small local village was welcoming. We took the bus to Florence - a short few minutes walk from the villa. We also visited the winery just down the street and enjoyed a tour and wine tasting. Bruno was very responsive to emails during our stay.

Great Tuscany location

The location of the apartment was amazing. It is located right in the middle of the first piazza in the middle of town. Everything is steps away from the front door. The apartment has a garage that is very helpful if you have a car. Not only is it great to walk around town, but the location is close enough to make a day trip into Florence. Also, there’s a restaurant down the hill that you can’t miss. It’s called “Osteria Del Molino”.

Great house, great location, great host!

We loved the feel of this old house with modern conveniences; perfect for the whole family size wise. We loved walking down to Bar Pasticceria Fiorentina Caterina in the morning for yummy patries and cafe latte’s. We frequented many of the restaurants here and did not have a bad meal. We walked to the market and butcher shop to grill at the villa. There were several activities in the piazza during our three week stay. Perfect location for day trips all through Tuscany. Most touching, my husband got sick and Bruno messaged me every day to check on him. ❤️
