Beautiful property nestled in the Tuscan countryside
Loved our time at Borghetto Calcinaia. We enjoyed the pool, views of the lake, the gardens, the nearby towns. Ben was very helpful and we were delighted to have food at the house when we arrived. The property had everything we needed and it's very comfortable. Can't wait to return!

Spectacular Summer Sanctuary
Our extended family (3 generations) spent two weeks in July at Borghetto Calcinaia, and we are so grateful we did. It was the perfect sanctuary to beat the heat of the summer and escape the crowds in Tuscany. We relished the gorgeous views of the lake and surrounding countryside, enjoyed swimming in the pool every day of our stay, and delighted in star gazing at night upon a sky unobstructed by city lights. The houses are all very comfortable, very clean, and spacious. When not at the pool or exploring charming nearby villages, we passed time chatting in the large comfortable living room or in the outdoor dining area. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed. The host facilitated a catered birthday celebration meal at the Borghetto, which was amazingly prepared by Chef Monica and her team. While sad to have to leave, we are so grateful for the opportunity to experience Borghetto Calcinaia and the surrounding less touristy part of Tuscany. Many thanks to Ben and Dale for facilitating our stay! We hope we can return again one day.

50th Wedding Anniversary
My husband and I celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary at this beautiful villa with our three children, their spouses and our 5 grandchildren. Our stay could not have been more perfect. The view is too amazing for photos to capture - so many places to sit with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine and enjoy the natural beauty. The property manager, Ben, was very responsive to questions or problems. (We did have one maintenance problem during our stay, but it was fixed within hours). And the area was surrounded by small towns and villages to visit with markets and restaurants. We typically ate out one meal each day and prepared remaining meals in the well equipped kitchen. Ben helped us arrange for a local chef, Monica, to prepare a four course dinner at the house on the evening of our anniversary - a wonderful experience . Our grandchildren loved the pool and the surrounding (fenced in) property for exploring and playing. Three generations of our family will treasure the memories we have from our week as guests at Pieve Santo Stefano. We highly recommend it.

Fabulous 50th Birthday Celebration
Borhgetto Calcinaia was the perfect location for my 50th birthday celebration. Ben, the house manager, and Dale were responsive and helpful throughout the reservation process and stay. We enjoyed several days by the pool, had a chef come to the house and prepare dinner, and ventured out to the many small, historic communities nearby.

Rustic cob-webbed filled Villa
The Villa was not up to my standard. It was too basic and not properly cleaned. The pool was broken and all during our 13 days stay it was not fix and thus not fit for us to use. But, a frog made good use of it. I real feeling I did not get my money's worth. So this is to warn guests who want a little bit of modern sophistication, like a microwave oven and a dishwasher, this villa does not provide either. Also, the beds were very uncomfortable. That's my review.

The property and surrounds are stunningly beautiful! Wonderful spaces and gathering spots; the kitchen has everything imaginable ( 2 refrigerators came in handy) . We really loved gathering around the lovely , huge outdoor table. Dale and Ben were responsive, delightful and entertaining communicators. We were also impressed with the detail and high quality of the House Book. This is a quieter side of Tuscany, with so much to explore. Only downside: Our time was too short!

Peaceful vacation in soothing scenary
A family stay for one week with friends and we loved every piece of it! There was plenty of room and then some for 4 adults and 6 kids and the large kitchen was fully equipped for serving any kind of meal (+ a barbeque for outside use). The pool was as good as advertised, kids were there from early morning til late night, and the herb garden and the lavender bush at the outside dining area were a pleasant-smelling surprise. If you want a quiet and undisturbed vacation but still with modern facilities this is the place for you.

Exceeded all expectations
The property is truly remarkable. The views of the lake are exceptional and there is a large garden with herbs you can use for cooking , the pool is large and stays very clean and the grounds are very well manicured, a large lavender field which you can walk through via carved paths is especially wonderful. The houses are very clean and even though there is no AC it stays cool with fans. The bathrooms are all updated and every room is comfortable, clean beautiful and unique. The kitchen is exceptional. We cooked in it for 6 nights for 8 people and had everything we needed in terms of cook ware. A large outdoor eating area is wonderful on the side of the house. This truly is a gem. The closest largish town anghiri is only a 15min drive and has a butcher and a outdoor market (once a week) with also 4 or 5 excellent small restaurants and there are larger supermarkets within 20minutes. The house is secluded but really is within a hr of major sites if you wish to visit. Nothing negative to report, it’s a wonderful property exactly as advertised and exceeded our expectations. We stayed with 8 adults and two children and had 3 bedrooms that remained empty so this property could comfortably fit more. Ben is a seasoned progressional property manager and made check in and check out painless and was available to answer questions throughout our stay.

Good experience but some issues
The setting was beautiful and had lots of room for everyone! Ben was very responsive to our requests. The kitchen was well stocked. However there were issues: The dishwasher was broken and sent water over the floor and was not fixed over the 12 days we were there and with 9 people eating it was inconvenient to do all dishes by hand. We only had one fob for the gate which was inconvenient with two vehicles leaving at different times. Apparently the previous renters lost one opener and it was not replaced. The buildings were quite cold so had to make special request to get the heat turned on. We had to purchase our own replacements for toilet paper, garbage bags, and dishwasher soap. The pool items were broken so couldn’t use them. We did enjoy our stay despite the shortcomings.

Another fantasy stay at the Villa!
We stayed here with friends and children 10 years ago - and have been hoping to get back ever since. This time it was with two other adult couples and the villa and property were every bit as stunning as before. The owner helped us to book a dinner at the villa one night with a chef who came to us and did everything - it was truly unforgettable! I plan to frame the menu and hang it in my home office. The location is perfect - easy day trips to destinations across Tuscany and Umbria. Grocery, fuel, and good restaurants very close by. The listing is very accurate - you will get what you see. We’ll be talking about this trip for the next 10 years!

Idyllic setting, pool was refreshing, incredible meat and pasta from the butcher in Caprese Michelangelo. Internet connection was slow, but I told the kids they should be outside exploring, not inside watching Netflix :-) Ben, the property manager, was very helpful and responsive. Highly recommend for a large group of friends and family.

Fabulous stay
We stayed here 7 adults, 4 children for my Mum's 70th & it was fabulous. Photos don't do it justice its a magical location hidden away from the world. All rooms well appointed and the separate accommodation blocks for the adults without children worked so well. Everything you need for a lovely week. Beds very comfortable, each bedroom had a fan which was welcome ! Constant hot water for showers and baths. Great kitchen set up although we bbq'd a lot. Pool super. Too deep for 6 year old to touch the bottom but helped her swimming come on ! Teenagers loved the volley ball net in pool. Yoga terrace amazing spot overlooking the lake. 20 mins to nearest supermarket. You need a car as house is fairly remote I.e can't walk anywhere. Great for relaxing though. If you have a car lots to explore. Anghiari and Arezzo both worth a visit . Ben was helpful and responded quickly when we needed anything. Would highly recommend if you're looking for quiet, relaxing week in a fabulous setting with wonderful accommodation. Thank you Dale & Ben

Long awaited Italian holiday
We had the great pleasure of staying at the Borghetto Calcinaia for a week with family and friends. It was a holiday that was postponed by the pandemic (twice) but the owners were very kind and understanding. In the lead-up to, and during our entire stay, Ben Mullens patiently answered all of our questions and assisted us with all our needs. He was very attentive and gracious. The property is off the main road and surrounded by lovely rolling hills and a view of the lake. We had ten adults and two small children and everyone was comfortably accommodated at the property. It was a perfect venue with a variety of bedrooms and private annexes that offered great flexibility including both communal and private spaces. We enjoyed meals around the large dining table and outside on the terrace. The wonderful pool was especially popular in the summer heat. We were close to several towns that provided all that we needed and interesting sites to visit. We can recommend Borghetto Calcinaia with enthusiasm. We had a lovely time, as did all our friends and family in attendance.

Perfect house and setting!
The description of the houses/property, with the photos, was extremely accurate. The organization of the sleeping areas and bathrooms was perfect for our group, a mixture of friends and family. The beds were all really comfortable, according to comments from everyone who slept there in different beds. We really used the outside areas a lot since we were there in a heatwave. The pool is large enough to really swim laps ... not always the case with rental vacation houses. The kitchen is extremely well-stocked. (The description says there is a microwave in. each house, but in fact there wasn't one in the main house kitchen. This wasn't really a problem for us, however.) The house manager Ben was extremely responsive!

Unforgettable week in Tuscany
Our group of three families (3 couples and 6 kids, ages 10-19) loved our stay at this beautiful Tuscan villa and would highly recommend. The owner, Dale, was responsive to all of our pre-arrival questions, and the property manager, Ben, was there at arrival and available as needed during the week, answering all inquiries promptly by email or phone. Dale and Ben helped arrange for a chef to cook for our group one night and shared many helpful tips regarding local wineries and areas of interest. There are so many places to visit and wonderful restaurants in the nearby towns, but kitchen is also well appointed and it was also fun to cook on our own with fresh ingredients from the local markets. It may be hard to believe, but the property is even more beautiful in person than in the photos. The buildings have many historic details and are full of character, and the setting is simply stunning. The pool was a highlight, especially for the kids, as the weather was quite hot the week we were in Italy, but the rooms all had good air circulation at night and were quite comfortable for sleeping. The two smaller dwellings were well furnished and spacious, allowing the group to spread out and have more privacy, but were close enough to not feel isolated. Each bedroom in the large house had its own full bathroom, which was a big plus. The gardens are well maintained with fruit trees, olive trees, lavender, and numerous other flowers. Some in our group also made good use of the yoga pavilion in the mornings, and we had wonderful views of the stars at night. Thank you for an unforgettable week!

Beautiful house in rural Tuscany
Dennis and Gilly who own this property are wonderful. Even before we had arrived I had asked many questions, some requiring them to research things for us but nothing was too much trouble. We arrived late but they were both there to greet us and to help us settle in. Although they live just next door they were never intrusive but always had a friendly word to say should we see each other. The main house is magnificent, with just about everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. Whilst there I was also shown the other 2 smaller properties and they are equally well furnished. The pool and grounds at our disposal were well kept and clean and regular visits from their inquisitive dog were welcome. Although the property is in a rural location there are lovely towns not far away for any groceries required or meals out. Given it's central location we also found that within a 2 hour drive you could see some beautiful places - Florence. Siena, Rimini to name but a few. Dennis was always happy to suggest places to visit or the best places to eat - and we were never disappointed! Will we go back - most definately!

Tolles Anwesen in sehr ruhiger Lage
Borghetto Calcinaia ist ein großzügiges Anwesen mit sehr schönen, typisch toskanischen Wohngebäuden. Die Zufahrt zum Anwesen ist ein steiniger Feldweg und damit sehr abenteuerlich und für tiefliegende Autos nicht zu empfehlen :-) Ein Gebäudeteil ist nicht zugänglich (Privat), der Besitzer war jedoch während unseres Aufenthalts nicht anwesend. Für Urlauber, die absolute Ruhe suchen und sich größtenteils auf dem Gelände aufhalten möchten, ist dieses Anwesen genau richtig. Leider ist der See zu Fuß nicht zugänglich und damit auch nicht nutzbar. Eine Stelle zum Tretbootfahren ca. 20 Auto-Minuten entfernt war leider geschlossen und auch telefonisch nicht zu erreichen. Allgemein sind alle Ausflugsziele (bspw. Anghiari) mit mind. 20-minütiger Autofahrt verbunden. Der Housekeeper Ben war super freundlich und jederzeit bei Fragen zu erreichen. Er kam zweimal, um den Pool zu säubern. Auch haben wir an einem Abend den privaten Koch gebucht - das Menü war sehr lecker :-) Verbesserungsvorschläge haben wir Ben im Anschluss mitgeteilt (sehr harte Betten, Spülmaschine fällt auseinander, Gartenmöbel sind sehr in die Jahre gekommen, manche Badtüren lassen sich nicht richtig öffnen oder schließen, recht dunkles Licht in den Zimmern). Alles in allem war es jedoch ein toller Aufenthalt in einem wunderschönen Anwesen, das wir gerne weiterempfehlen können!

super-ruhige Lage, sehr schöne Natur, schöne Panorama-Impressionen! kleiner Nachteil ist die etwas lange Fahrt zum nächsten Supermarkt (ca. 25 min nach Sansepolcro) und es fehlt eine kleine Sitzecke/Lounge für abendliche Sit-Ins. Es ist aber dennoch ein erholsamer Urlaub gewesen! Auch die Betreuung vor Ort durch Ben war hervorragend, sehr schnelle Reaktion auf kleine Anliegen (fehlende Gläser, Poollicht-Reparatur).
