8 nights in wine paradise
The setting for this property was magical. The house, located on a hill overlooking valleys with small family farms, met all our needs during our 8 night stay. We enjoyed breakfasts in the dining area and used the property as a base as we explored Tuscany, Pisa, Lucca and Florence. This was the perfect place for us. The views from the master bedroom and the pool area, including sunsets, were like nothing I have seen in my life. We could not believe we were staying in such a wonderful place. The washing machine was used several times as we prepared to move on to the next leg of our journey. The kitchen was well stocked. The beds were very comfortable, and did I mention the views? Beautiful!

A visit to Ulignano
We loved the location, very well positioned for day trips to San Gimignano, Certaldo, Lucca, Pisa, Florence. Although we were there in November, we still had sun and fair temperatures. We didn’t anticipate needing to pay extra for the heat, which we needed on the colder days. The grounds, pool, and views were really wonderful. The bathroom shower and all the floors could greatly benefit from a good washing, though, as well as the bedding. Kitchen was fine for cooking small meals here and there. We enjoyed using the indoor fireplace on colder evenings. We would recommend this villa for a couple or maybe a family with1 or 2 small children.

Casa Brunello
We loved our week in Brunello's cottage in the beautiful Tuscan countryside about 11 km north of San Gimignano. The cottage is well equipped and has 2 bedrooms, kitchen, lounge and dining area, and a terrace which is perfect for catching the afternoon and evening sun with something nice to drink. The garden and pool area is much more extensive than is obvious from the Vrbo listing, and is well provided with sun loungers, chairs, tables and sun shades. Our hosts Brunello and Beatrice were lovely people, helpful and a delight to deal with. Ulignano is the nearest village, and there is a small grocery shop there, but we found that the best supermarket is the Co-op in Certaldo about 15 minutes drive to the north which has everything that you need. The old town in Certaldo accessed by a funicular railcar didn't appear in our guide book but is lovely and well worth a visit. San Gimignano, Siena and Volterra are within easy reach by car. Overall, highly recommended.

Far exceeded expectations
Beautiful property, incredibly clean and well kept, the views are amazing. We felt like part of the local community, surrounded by beautiful olive groves and vineyards. Mr Brunello is very accommodating, we thank him for opening up his beautiful home allowing us to unwind for a week. The pool was a perfect place to relax and cool off under the Tuscan sun. We will certainly come back someday.

Brunello cottage Tuscany
My wife and I booked a week stay beginning of June , we selected this small cottage because of its gardens and pool , we were not disappointed at all , the flowers were lovely and created a lovely ambience when chilling out around the pool with a glass of chianti , We were met by mr brunello and an interpreter, the hand over was easy and straightforward, The cottage was clean and tidy with everything you need for our stay , it has typical Italian wooden furniture, and was cozy , The view from the balcony at sunset is stunningly Beautiful, There are shops within driving distance nearby for your groceries, We love every minute of our stay, Tip - take mosquito spray , there are mosquitoes in the Tuscany area and we found this out the first night we ate out on the balcony , we both got bitten a few times but this was only a small inconvenience and did nothing to spoil our stay,

Brunello villa
The property was spotlessly clean, and ideally situated for exploring the region. The villa had everything we could possibly have needed, and the kind gifts were a lovely thought. We arrived very late, and Mr Brunello and his niece were kind enough to meet with us when we got lost. We would not hesitate to recommend.

A wonderful stay
My husband and I like to stay in a quiet and private location with amazing views and a pool just for our use and this did not disappoint! A short car ride down the road and there was a lovely little pub serving pizza and bbq food with friendly owners Great location for exploring nearby towns and san Gimignano was around 20mins by car Fab coffee machine supplied in the property and the pool was so clean and the views are breathtaking Property had everything you could need and we went to the supermarket (around 15 min drive away) and stocked up on goodies to have on the large stone built bbq most evenings If you want peace and quite in a lovely area then this is the place for you!

Beautiful house, great location, immaculate gardens
This is our second visit to this cottage. The location is great - just ten minutes to San Gimignano, and 25 minutes to Siena. The gardens are immaculately maintained - the photos are a true reflection. The views from the garden are excellent. The owner is very generous, providing all of the necessities when arriving (including wine and his own olive oil!). The owner did not bother us at all during the stay. I would highly recommend this house if visiting central Tuscany.

Wonderfully comfortable, clean and private in a stunning setting
We had a fantastic week at Brunello. The accommodation was clean, comfortable, well equipped and well maintained. The pool and pool area are fabulous .. the views are stunning, there are comfortable loungers and chairs and the pool area is quite private / secluded. We also enjoyed the warm welcome from Brunello and Ilaria when we arrived. The accommodation is cozy (decorated quite traditionally and not huge) which suited us perfectly (a family with two kids <10).

Traumurlaub
Die Unterkunft und der dazugehörige Garten und Pool sind wunderbar gepflegt und sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet.Herr Brunello war täglich unterwegs, um Den Pool zu säubern , die Mülleimer zu leeren etc. Das Haus ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und hat an Geschirr, Besteck, Tellern und Töpfen mehr als genug. Das kleine Duschbad ist sehr saube, wie eigentlich alles . Der Garten und Pool einfach ein Traum . Einkaufsmöglichkeiten mit dem Auto 10 Minuten entfernt. Alle Sehenswürdigkeiten sind mit dem Auto prima erreichbar. Wir haben den Urlaub sehr genossen und uns in dem Häuschen sehr wohl gefühlt. Absolute Empfehlung !!!

Great, relaxing holiday destination
14 days of use of this beautiful location. The photos shown are as reality is. Every day it was breathtaking to look out over the Tuscan landscapes from the balcony. As for the service at both check-in and check-out as well as during the stay, this is done neatly! Very friendly people! We will definitely continue to recommend this accommodation to acquaintances and friends and who knows, we may return ourselves! Small point of attention. The location (the road you have to drive into) is not shown on the navigation system, so you quickly drive past it. Perhaps a good idea to pay extra attention to this with regard to the route description.

Achtung: Klimaanlage kostet extra!!
Das Negative zuerst: Die Klimaanlage kostet extra. Dies und weitere Extrakosten stehen leider nicht in der Objektbeschreibung sondern in der Hausordnung. Auf dem Voucher, den wir 5 Monate nach der Buchung erhalten haben, waren diese Kosten dann auch vermerkt. Dies hätten wir allerdings gerne VOR der Buchung gewusst- ein Hinweis bei der Ausstattung des Hauses wäre dringend erforderlich. Immerhin kostet die Klimaanlage 100 EUR pro Woche zusätzlich. Die Lage des Hauses ist sehr schön, toller Ausblick, super Pool. rustikales Interieur, sehr freundlicher Gastgeber, der morgens den Garten, Pool und Grill reinigt. Nur die Betten sind wirklich unbequem.

Der Checkin verlief problemlos, Poolpflege und Müllentsorgung wurde alles für uns erledigt. Der Wäschewechsel nach einer Woche klappte ebenfalls bestens und die Übergabe bei Abfahrt ebenfalls.

Ein Paradies!
Das ruhig gelegene Häuschen ist top gepflegt und super sauber. Genauso der wunderschöne Garten und private Pool; beides wird vom netten Besitzer Herrn Herrn Brunello frühmorgens liebevoll gepflegt. Wenn man aufsteht ist er schon wieder weg und man hat seine Privatsphäre. Bei schlechtem Wetter hätten wir allerdings gerne ab und zu mal den TV genutzt, leider gab es aber keine deutschsprachigen Sender. Das ist aber Meckern auf hohem Niveau. Auch der Ausblick ist ein Traum. Absolut zu empfehlen, wir kommen wieder!
