"Really nice location with amazing countryside view. The property is brand-new, well furnished and pleasant. We really enjoyed the breakfast even if green tea should be available :-) One thing missing is the ability to charge electric car. "

"The highlight of our Italy trip!"

"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."

"Castelfalfi is a tucked away paradise in Tuscany. I was genuinely wowed from the moment I stepped in the lobby. Besides the beautiful views and the amazing rooms, one of the best parts was the service. Every single staff member went above and beyond to make me feel welcomed, at home, and fully taken care of. The little details and surprises every day were amazing. Thank you Benjamin for upholding the perfection of hospitality! I would also like to call out the restaurant thats right in the hotel. Every dinner was spectacular. The specials each night were to die for!! I am normally not a big hotel breakfast girl but everything was amazing each morning and they remembered all of my preferences after day one. I recommend doing the wine tour early in your stay so you can try all of their wines made on property, pick your favs, and order them throughout your stay. Lastly the spa is beautiful and the massages are so professional and well done! "

"We had a wonderful stay and this property provided a nice central location from which to explore the region. Information from Steve was timely and extremely helpful. "

"Our three year old granddaughter thought it was her castle and that she was a princess. Michele and Elisabetta remain exquisite hosts and the neighbors are very welcoming. Rental cars and train system allowed us to visit neighboring cites. Overall, a wonderful vacation!!!!"

"My wife and I had a wonderful time. Our host Marilia is lovely and gave very helpful recommendations for vineyards, restaurants and cooking classes in the area. The view and surrounding area is breathtaking!"

"Very clean, great service! Continental breakfast in the morning was delicious. Would stay again!"

"We spent our last week of our 3 weeks in Italy in Marila’s home and are so happy we did! The location was fantastic, the home was perfect for us and Marilia was a warm and gracious host. We asked her to help with booking a chef to come in to teach a class, a wine tour and restaurant suggestions and all were fantastic. We would love to go back again!!"
