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 .

The villa and Montespertoli are so charming! The home is so lovely! The view from top level is unbelievable! The court yard a wonderful spot for a meal. Only tip is if traveling by bus on Sunday times are very limited! We ended up taking a train from Florence to Empoli to get a decent time into town. Though bus ticket purchases are very limited. Maybe purchase in Florence. Or spurge on a taxi! But, during week we went to Florence twice and had plenty of options to get to and from. You can buy tickets in Tabbachi! So many great restaurants and vineyard a short walk and delicious wine! Market was amazing! So much to love! So peaceful!!!
One angle of view.

Charming clock and wind gauge. Next to butcher, church, gelato, cafe!

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.

Home Away From Home

Remarkable combination of the old and the new. The villa had all the modern conveniences set in a centuries-old structure. There were five of us staying for a week. A family group of three generations. Two grandparents, two parents, and our 16-year old granddaughter. There was plenty of room and bathrooms for all. We had comfy beds and crisp linens. Closet space is at a premium, but we managed. The villa is located in a delightful small town and we felt like locals. We shopped at the supermarket that had mouth-watering offerings of everything! We also enjoyed delicious meals in restaurants we could walk to. And, of course, there was gelato! We had a car and used the villa as a home base to explore Florence, Pisa, Volterra, and some wineries. It was so comforting to know we were coming "home" at the end of our journeys. We enjoyed a memorable week in this extraordinary venue. Grazie to our host, Bruno.

Marvelous Montespertoli

Just about everything during our stay was ideal. The town was not only charming, taking you back in time where nothing was rushed and where you walked everywhere, and it also has everything to make your stay memorable. Each morning started with our walk to the bakery for bread and pastries, a stop at the pizza place/deli for breakfast meats and a stop for for a morning coffee. A weekly flea market provides the freshest veggies, cheeses and meats along with clothes, linens, and hand crafted items. You can just soak in the culture, Eat at any of the four fantastic restaurants we found for local cuisine AND the best pizza ever! For a Jersey girl that’s saying something. Our host Bruno was charming yet only appeared once during our stay and that was to turn on the heat which, unfortunately never materialized. That was one of two drawbacks: the house was chilly and damp, i. e. getting into bed to cold, damp linens. After 15 days this was not pleasant, hence the fact that local laws prohibited Bruno from providing us with heart. The only other drawback was that the property was listed as housing 12 people which was what our group consisted of. Thank heavens two people were unable to come so there were ten of us. It’s an ideal property for 8. From Montespertoli we were able to make side trips to Pisa, Impruneta, Livorno, Sienna, Florence, Cinque Terre and Venice, unhurriedly and with plenty of time to absorb local culture. Would go back at the drop of a hat. Pat Austin, North Carolina, USA

This was a perfect location for our girls trip in Tuscany. Beautiful country views in a quiet setting. Very convient location to make day trips thru Tuscany but would definitely recommend you rent a car to do this. A parking spot wss provided so did not have to worry about finding and paying for a place to keep the rental car. The house was clean with lots of space and so nice to have so many bathrooms all with good water pressure. The kitchen had plenty of dishware and utensils and made life easy by having a dishwasher. Also, very helpful to have a wash machine and multiple drying racks. We were very happy to have a cafe and gelaterias within walking distance as well as a grocery store. The host was very responsive and easy to work with. One possible concern is if you had to be available for work, the WiFi was spotty especially at night. Overall, would highly recommend staying here!

Gorgeous property in a Tuscan hill-top village. The house is just incredible. Lovely and cool, due to all the ancient stone, but with everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Fantastic showers - really powerful - and a much-needed plunge pool for when we needed relief from the heat. The location of the house is perfect. Supermarket and bars/restaurants/wine-tasting all within walking distance.

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 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.

What a beautiful house in Montespertoli!

My wife and I spent nine nights is this spacious and well-equipped home in the quiet village of Montespertoli in the Chianti region of Tuscany. Bruno was a wonderful host, always quick to respond to our questions. He left the home equipped well for our first night or two and directed us to the Co-Op grocery store only a 3-4 minute walk from the front door. Our rental car was securely parked in his garage every night, so no need to park on the street or worry about not finding a place close to the house. With the stone walls, Wi-Fi signals can be lost from time to time, but just pop in to the laundry room to quickly reconnect. Bruno even let us purchase his brand-new stainless steel Bialetti stove-top espresso maker which had become a little tarnished from the gas stove-top. We would highly recommend this home for your group of 10-12 people, but it was quite nice for just the two of us as well.

Urlaub wie erhofft und erwartet

Die Ankunft von unserem Gastgeber Bruno war sehr gut organisiert und der Zugang zur Unterkunft problemlos möglich. Die Unterkunft ist top sauber gewesen und liebevoll hergerichtet/eingerichtet. Wir haben uns schnell wohl gefühlt und mit allem zurechtgefunden. Unser Gastgeber war immer erreichbar und wenn mal etwas war, kümmerte er sich sofort darum. Die Lage von Montespertoli war für uns optimal, da alle Sehenswürdigkeiten der Toskana gleichermaßen erreichbar waren. Einkaufs- und Essensmöglichkeiten gab es aussreichend vor Ort und die Einwohner waren freundlich und offen. Die Unterkunft ist absolut weiter zu empfehlen. Vielen Dank Bruno....

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.

Our family of nine was entranced by the old-world authenticity of this apartment, yet with the modern amenities we all want.
