A Perfect Escape
I cannot rave enough about the property, the location, or the wonderful hosts. My wife and I spent the tail-end of our honeymoon here and it was simply perfect. Allesandro and his wife were simply the best hosts one can ask for, providing amazing recommendations, always available to contact for assistance or advice and taking immense joy and pride in their city and the region. We wish we could have stayed longer and will certainly be coming back as soon as we can.

Lovely apartment in wonderful Colle!
We very much enjoyed our stay at Casa Anna. Spacious, beautiful and very convenient for walking to bars, cafes and restaurants in Colle. Amazing views and we loved the terrace! The place served as a great home base for local exploring as well as trips to Siena and San Gimignano, as well as a great wine tasting at Agriturismo Cesani. Alessandro and Liliana were beyond helpful and friendly. The private parking was a challenge to my driving skills but made life so much easier! Grazie mille to you both!!!

Well managed beautiful estate apartment house.
So much history and beautiful things to see. Amazing views and close to so many great sights. We traveled from there to Florence, Siena and many other Tuscan locations, but was able to call it ‘Home’ at night. Cooking in was nice too. Large patio to relax. Very casual. We were blessed to have nice weather. Allesandro and Lilliana were very responsive of our every question and recommended several things to do. Will look forward to a return visit when it allows.

Good central location for Tuscany
Large rooms, plenty of space. Early 19th century decor which adds a slower paced appeal. Patio has a nice setting that overlooks the valley. Good Cafe across the street opens at 0530. Street noise can be bothersome in the morning and evening as a lot of traffic goes down the hill into town or getting to highway.

Amazing Historic Home - Superb Hosts
Casa Anna is an amazing home with a lot of history that hosts Alessandro and Liliana are more than happy to share. The period pieces, great location and wonderful views from the large terrace make this the perfect place to stay in Tuscany. It is close to both Florence and Siena, as well as to smaller towns including Volterra and San Gimignano. The hosts graciously provide a wealth of helpful information about the area. The private parking area is an added bonus. Be sure to check out the amazing bakery across the street and the nearby restaurants within walking distance. This is by far one of the best places to stay in this area of Tuscany and we cannot wait to return to Casa Anna on our next trip. Thank you Alessandro and Liliana for your hospitality. We are grateful for having the opportunity to stay in your wonderful home.

Wonderful stay at Casa Anna
My husband and I plus another couple spent 3 nights at the lovely Casa Anna. Alessandro and Liliana were there to greet us and give us a tour of the property. There was plenty of room for the four of us (3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a full kitchen, and dining room) plus a scenic terrace for us to enjoy and relax at the end of the day. Colle di Val d’Elsa was the perfect location for touring the hill towns of Tuscany. The hosts were a wealth of knowledge making suggestions as to what to see in the area. They will also cook for you - we thoroughly enjoyed a 5 course feast!

A wonderful glimpse into an elegant home of the past
Alessandro and his wife are so proud of this beautiful home from their family past, and rightly so. We drove to Tuscany from the airport and after multiple delays we were so tired and it was getting dark. But Alessandro doesn't let anything faze him, he was with us on the phone guiding us on "What's App", and even met us in the middle of a fork in the road to have us follow him into the car park at the back of the house. He and his wife proudly gave us a tour of the home and told us the little quirks to avoid in an older home and made you feel like a friend coming to visit. It is modernized where it is important and you are left with the beauty. What a wonderful way to begin our first day. We loved the history in the house, our hosts, the town and the surrounding area. We went to Rome for the final part of our trip. We loved Rome but missed Colle. If you want a wonderful experience in an old city with great hosts this is the one for your family. Just the view from the kitchen window took our breath away. It is very hilly and I could not handle some of the longer walk up hill, but we had a the car and we managed just fine. A small note, which is a really a matter of preference, was that the beds were very hard. If that is a deal breaker for you then it might matter. For us, just living in this lovely home from the past in this beautiful country even for a matter of days was incredible.

Enchanting
Casa Anna was a delight, a step back in time with its decorated ceilings, tessellated floor tiles, and precious family heirloom furniture. Alessandro and Liliana were the perfect hosts, and were justifiably proud of their ancestral home. They were on the doorstep to welcome us, and show us around the spotlessly clean accommodation (and secret cellar!) Casa Anna is in an unspoiled Tuscan village with vibrant restaurants and the BEST patisserie across the road. We wish we could have stayed much longer :)

A delight from start to finish!
We feel so lucky to have found Casa Anna in the wonderful city of Colle Di Val D'Elsa for our first ever trip to Italy. Alessandro and Lilliana made every step, from booking to departure, a pleasure. They made us feel at home in their home. Casa Anna is exactly as pictured. It was a very large, clean and comfortable space for 3 adults including 3 spacious bedrooms and 2 full baths. We were so close to many delightful places in Colle (the coffee shop and bakery across the street, the piazza just down the street, and great shops). It is a quick and easy drive to Sienna, if that is on your list of things to do. As other guests have commented, it is a must to take advantage of their home cooked Tuscan dinner. So fresh, so delicious and such fun, the eggplant parmesan is a must try! We made lifelong memories due to our wonderful hosts and the beautiful city of Colle. Grazie mille

We had an amazing stay at Alessandro and Liliana’s place. The check in process made us feel very welcome with excellent advice on things to do and a full tour of the features of the amazing property. The house is well-equipped and situated within a great village- all you expect from Tuscany but without having been over-touristed. Some great local restaurants and swimming spots. Alessandro and Liliana are super friendly and hospitable and we will be recommending their place to others.

The most beautiful property we’ve seen
Our experience at Casa Anna was the best we’ve ever had when traveling. We’ve stayed in 5+ rentals in 3 countries and this was by far the best. The hosts Alessandro and Liliana were very welcoming, kind, helpful and amazing. They made our trip so wonderful. They helped us to pick the best places in town to eat as well as best places to visit. They provided many unique experiences for us to enjoy that you cannot get anywhere else. Plenty of space for many people in the home. It was across the street from the best bakery, Mario Barone. You will not regret staying here. It was a true home away from home.

Great apartment, town and location!
We loved our stay at Casa Anna! Alessandro and Liliana are very welcoming and accommodating hosts who shared helpful information with us before we arrived and while there. The apartment is spacious and wonderfully located. We used it over a three week period as a couple before arrival/after departure of our adult children and grandkids (9, 12, 16) in two different groups. The apartment worked well for all family configurations. The courtyard was big enough to park with some maneuvering a large station wagon that carried 7 people. The apartment itself was comfortable and well appointed with conveniences. The views from the back of the valley were spectacular and we enjoyed lunch on the terrace even in April. The families used the washing machine non-stop and the sunny clothes lines dried the laundry quickly. Colle di Val d'Elsa was a fantastic surprise. We were able to walk to a wide choice of restaurants and pastry shop Mario Barone is right across the street. The medieval/renaissance historic center was fun to explore and we enjoyed the lower town for grocery shopping, the Friday outdoor market, ice cream and other restaurants. We visited one of Colle's crystal factories and took a full tour of their facilities and were able to purchase at discounted prices. Colle di Val d'Elsa is centrally located for exploring Tuscany with easy access to the main artery between Florence and Siena. We also loved visiting the smaller hilltop towns nearby.

Lilianna and Alessandro are lovely, kind and joyfully welcoming people. We found Casa Anna to be the perfect setting for our stay in Colle di Val d'Elsa. The rooms are large, yet comfortable, historic, yet with modern conveniences. The cafe/bakery across the street was so convenient for morning cappuccinos and croissants. There were many choices for meals within easy walking distance. However, the meal we all will remember is the one prepared by Lilianna and Alessandro for us on our last evening. It was a delicious Tuscan feast and we took delight in many homegrown products and treats.

An amazing place!
This was the best place we have ever stayed at, on any platform. Alessandro and Liliana have created a really special experience. The apt is spacious, there are many places to be together or to have some alone time. The interiors have both old world charm and modern comforts. The floors are insanely beautiful, smooth and cool underfoot - local marble, tile; the ceilings are very high, with beautiful decorative plaster. There are shutters allowing you total darkness as you sleep, if you wish. The terrace has an amazing view of the church tower, getting up to watch the sunrise from there is absolutely worth it. The town is charming, we loved walking the old section. There are not the crowds of tourists here, despite being ourselves tourists it was nice to stroll the quiet streets. Everywhere we looked was a new picturesque sight. The restaurants in walking distance are good and the shop across the street has amazing cakes. Very close to Siena for a day trip as well. We stayed in some castles on our Europe trip, and though lovely they had nothing on this place. We recommend having Liliana make dinner-I’m not kidding it was the best meal we had in Italy-with traditional courses that had clearly developed over generations into simple perfection. 10/10 this place is magic.

Just a perfect apartment in a wonderful small Tuscan village
Alessandro and Lilianna were amazing hosts, the best ever assuring that everything is perfect for their guests. The apartment is beautiful as pictured and has everything you may need . The deck is just gorgeous with a beautiful view. A really great benefit is that they have parking in the garden with a gate. It makes staying their so easy. The apartment is extremely clean and we couldn’t have wanted anything more. We loved the Tuscan dinner they made for us and served at the apartment. If you have time, please enjoy it. All ingredients were fresh and many grown by them. Absolutely perfect 10 days for 2 couples. There is a 3rd bedroom and it would work about perfect for 3 couples.
